Antoine Pitrou f8387af262 Issue #4688: Add a heuristic so that tuples and dicts containing only
untrackable objects are not tracked by the garbage collector. This can
reduce the size of collections and therefore the garbage collection overhead
on long-running programs, depending on their particular use of datatypes.

(trivia: this makes the "binary_trees" benchmark from the Computer Language
Shootout 40% faster)

Jeffrey Yasskin 68d6852006 Backport r69961 to trunk, replacing JUMP_IF_{TRUE,FALSE} with
POP_JUMP_IF_{TRUE,FALSE} and JUMP_IF_{TRUE,FALSE}_OR_POP. This avoids executing
a POP_TOP on each conditional and sometimes allows the peephole optimizer to
skip a JUMP_ABSOLUTE entirely. It speeds up list comprehensions significantly.

Mark Dickinson 2ffb26fb83 Issue #5260: Various portability and standards compliance fixes, optimizations
and cleanups in Objects/longobject.c.  The most significant change is that
longs now use less memory:  average savings are 2 bytes per long on 32-bit
systems and 6 bytes per long on 64-bit systems.  (This memory saving already
exists in py3k.)

Ronald Oussoren 5640ce2f1e MacOS X: Enable 4-way universal builds
This patch adds a new configure argument on OSX:
        --with-universal-archs=[32-bit|64-bit|all]

When used with the --enable-universalsdk option this controls which
CPU architectures are includes in the framework. The default is 32-bit,
meaning i386 and ppc. The most useful alternative is 'all', which includes
all 4 CPU architectures supported by MacOS X (i386, ppc, x86_64 and ppc64).

This includes limited support for the Carbon bindings in 64-bit mode as well,
limited because (a) I haven't done extensive testing and (b) a large portion
of the Carbon API's aren't available in 64-bit mode anyway.

I've also duplicated a feature of Apple's build of python: setting the
environment variable 'ARCHFLAGS' controls the '-arch' flags used for building
extensions using distutils.

Martin v. Löwis 8c255e4173 Patch #1722225: Support QNX 6. 2008-05-23 15:06:50 +00:00
Eric Smith cf537ff39e Addresses issue 2802: 'n' formatting for integers.
Adds 'n' as a format specifier for integers, to mirror the same
specifier which is already available for floats.  'n' is the same as
'd', but inserts the current locale-specific thousands grouping.

I added this as a stringlib function, but it's only used by str type,
not unicode.  This is because of an implementation detail in
unicode.format(), which does its own str->unicode conversion.  But the
unicode version will be needed in 3.0, and it may be needed by other
code eventually in 2.6 (maybe decimal?), so I left it as a stringlib
implementation.  As long as the unicode version isn't instantiated,
there's no overhead for this.

Christian Heimes 0a4f8956e6 Fix compiler warning Include/warnings.h:19:28: warning: no newline at end of file 2008-04-13 09:30:17 +00:00
Brett Cannon e974689038 Re-implement the 'warnings' module in C. This allows for usage of the
'warnings' code in places where it was previously not possible (e.g., the
parser). It could also potentially lead to a speed-up in interpreter start-up
if the C version of the code (_warnings) is imported over the use of the
Python version in key places.

  The type system of Python 2.6 has subtle differences to 3.0's. I've removed the Py_TPFLAGS_BASETYPE flags from bytearray for now. bytearray can't be subclasses until the issues with bytearray subclasses are fixed.

Eric Smith 7c47894a2a Backport of the print function, using a __future__ import.
This work is substantially Anthony Baxter's, from issue
1633807.  I just freshened it, made a few minor tweaks,
and added the test cases.  I also created issue 2412,
which is to check for 2to3's behavior with the print
function.  I also added myself to ACKS.

Travis E. Oliphant 3781aef8f8 Finish backporting new buffer API to Python 2.6. Left to do: memoryview object and structmodule. But, these need to be finished in Python 3.0 first. No objects support the new buffer API in Python 2.6 as of yet, and except for the memoryview object, I don't think they will. 2008-03-18 04:44:57 +00:00

Jeffrey Yasskin 960b9b7a2f Move abc._Abstract into object by adding a new flag Py_TPFLAGS_IS_ABSTRACT,
which forbids constructing types that have it set. The effect is to speed

  ./python.exe -m timeit -s 'import abc' -s 'class Foo(object): __metaclass__ = abc.ABCMeta' 'Foo()'

up from 2.5us to 0.201us. This fixes issue 1762.
