Just van Rossum 3eb166b49b Slightly improved version of patch #642578: "Expose PyImport_FrozenModules

and set_frozenmodules().

Martin v. Löwis 677bde2dd1 Patch #626485: Support Unicode normalization. 2002-11-23 22:08:15 +00:00
Tim Peters 84c7a3f328 Try linking the static Sleepycat lib into _bsddb.pyd. Hard to say
whether this is a correct thing to do:

+ There are linker warnings (see PCbuild\readme.txt).
+ test_bsddb passes, in both release and debug builds now.
+ test_bsddb3 has several failures, but it did before too.

Also made pythoncore a dependency of the _bsddb project, updated
build instructions, added database conversion XXX to NEWS, and fiddled
the Windows installer accordingly.

Tim Peters 19cf4ee69d More bsddb-on-Windows fiddling:
+ News blurb, but as much XXX as news.
+ Updated installer (install the new bsddb package, and the Berkeley DLL;
  still don't know how to fold that into _bsddb.pyd).
+ Fleshed out build instructions.
+ Debug Python still blows up.

Tim Peters b9099c3df4 SF patch 637176: list.sort crasher
Armin Rigo's Draconian but effective fix for

SF bug 453523: list.sort crasher

slightly fiddled to catch more cases of list mutation.  The dreaded
internal "immutable list type" is gone!  OTOH, if you look at a list
*while* it's being sorted now, it will appear to be empty.  Better
than a core dump.

Gustavo Niemeyer c523b04b0f Fixed sre bug "[#581080] Provoking infinite scanner loops".
This bug happened because: 1) the scanner_search and scanner_match methods
were not checking the buffer limits before increasing the current pointer;
and 2) SRE_SEARCH was using "if (ptr == end)" as a loop break, instead of
"if (ptr >= end)".

* Modules/_sre.c
  (SRE_SEARCH): Check for "ptr >= end" to break loops, so that we don't
  hang forever if a pointer passing the buffer limit is used.
  (scanner_search,scanner_match): Don't increment the current pointer
  if we're going to pass the buffer limit.

* Misc/NEWS
  Mention the fix.

  tuple.

Gustavo Niemeyer 4e7be06a65 Fixed bug #470582, using a modified version of patch #527371,
from Greg Chapman.

* Modules/_sre.c
  (lastmark_restore): New function, implementing algorithm to restore
  a state to a given lastmark. In addition to the similar algorithm used
  in a few places of SRE_MATCH, restore lastindex when restoring lastmark.
  (SRE_MATCH): Replace lastmark inline restoring by lastmark_restore(),
  function. Also include it where missing. In SRE_OP_MARK, set lastindex
  only if i > lastmark.

* Lib/test/re_tests.py
* Lib/test/test_sre.py
  Included regression tests for the fixed bugs.

* Misc/NEWS
  Mention fixes.

Tim Peters 9288f95cb5 Another round on SF patch 618135: gzip.py and files > 2G
The last round boosted "the limit" from 2GB to 4GB.  This round gets
rid of the 4GB limit.  For files > 4GB, gzip stores just the last 32
bits of the file size, and now we play along with that too.  Tested
by hand (on a 6+GB file) on Win2K.

Boosting from 2GB to 4GB was arguably enough "a bugfix".  Going beyond
that smells more like "new feature" to me.

Tim Peters fb0ea525d5 Related to SF patch 618135: gzip.py and files > 2G.
Fixed the signed/unsigned confusions when dealing with files >= 2GB.
4GB is still a hard limitation of the gzip file format, though.

Testing this was a bitch on Win98SE due to frequent system freezes.  It
didn't freeze while running gzip, it kept freezing while trying to *create*
a > 2GB test file!  This wasn't Python's doing.  I don't know of a
reasonable way to test this functionality in regrtest.py, so I'm not
checking in a test case (a test case would necessarily require creating
a 2GB+ file first, using gzip to zip it, using gzip to unzip it again,
and then compare before-and-after; so >4GB free space would be required,
and a loooong time; I did all this "by hand" once).

Bugfix candidate, I guess.
