Added code to call this when PYMALLOC_DEBUG is enabled, and envar
PYTHONMALLOCSTATS is set, whenever a new arena is obtained and once
late in the Python shutdown process.
PEP 285. Everything described in the PEP is here, and there is even
some documentation. I had to fix 12 unit tests; all but one of these
were printing Boolean outcomes that changed from 0/1 to False/True.
(The exception is test_unicode.py, which did a type(x) == type(y)
style comparison. I could've fixed that with a single line using
issubtype(x, type(y)), but instead chose to be explicit about those
places where a bool is expected.
Still to do: perhaps more documentation; change standard library
modules to return False/True from predicates.
SF bug 535905 (Evil Trashcan and GC interaction).
The SETLOCAL() macro should not DECREF the local variable in-place and
then store the new value; it should copy the old value to a temporary
value, then store the new value, and then DECREF the temporary value.
This is because it is possible that during the DECREF the frame is
accessed by other code (e.g. a __del__ method or gc.collect()) and the
variable would be pointing to already-freed memory.
BUGFIX CANDIDATE!
descriptor, as used for the tp_methods slot of a type. These new flag
bits are both optional, and mutually exclusive. Most methods will not
use either. These flags are used to create special method types which
exist in the same namespace as normal methods without having to use
tedious construction code to insert the new special method objects in
the type's tp_dict after PyType_Ready() has been called.
If METH_CLASS is specified, the method will represent a class method
like that returned by the classmethod() built-in.
If METH_STATIC is specified, the method will represent a static method
like that returned by the staticmethod() built-in.
These flags may not be used in the PyMethodDef table for modules since
these special method types are not meaningful in that case; a
ValueError will be raised if these flags are found in that context.
This fixes the symptom, but PRINT_ITEM has no way to know what (if
anything) PyFile_WriteObject() writes unless the object being printed
is a string. When the object isn't a string, this fix retains the
guess that softspace should be set after PyFile_WriteObject().
We might want to say that it's the job of filelike-object write methods
to leave the file's softspace in the correct state. That would probably
be better -- but everyone relies on PRINT_ITEM to guess for them now.
A file-static "threads" dict mapped thread IDs to Windows handles, but
was never referenced, and entries never got removed. This gets rid of
the YAGNI-dict entirely.

Fix for the UTF-8 decoder: it will now accept isolated surrogates
(previously it raised an exception which causes round-trips to
fail).
Added new tests for UTF-8 round-trip safety (we rely on UTF-8 for
marshalling Unicode objects, so we better make sure it works for
all Unicode code points, including isolated surrogates).
Bumped the PYC magic in a non-standard way -- please review. This
was needed because the old PYC format used illegal UTF-8 sequences
for isolated high surrogates which now raise an exception.
By default every module is imported in its own namespace, but this can
be changed by defining USE_DYLD_GLOBAL_NAMESPACE. In a future version this
define will be replaced by a runtime setting, but that needs a bit more
thought.
This code is largely based on code and feedback from Steven Majewski,
Marcel Prastawa, Manoj Plakal and other on pythonmac-sig.
type.__module__ problems (again?)
This simply initializes the __module__ local in a class statement from
the __name__ global. I'm not 100% sure that this is the correct fix,
although it usually does the right thing. The problem is that if the
class statement executes in a custom namespace, the __name__ global
may be taken from __builtins__, in which case it would have the value
__builtin__, or it may not exist at all (if the custom namespace also
has a custom __builtins__), in which case the class statement will
fail.
Nevertheless, unless someone finds a better solution, this is a 2.2.1
bugfix too.

INPLACE_TRUE_DIVIDE (like BINARY_DIVIDE was getting handed off to
BINARY_TRUE_DIVIDE).

There are also changes to introduce use of PyCode_GetNumFree() in

Reinserted the stack cleanup code, skipping it when yielding.

Big Hammer to implement -Qnew as PEP 238 says it should work (a global
option affecting all instances of "/").
pydebug.h, main.c, pythonrun.c: define a private _Py_QnewFlag flag, true
iff -Qnew is passed on the command line. This should go away (as the
comments say) when true division becomes The Rule. This is
deliberately not exposed to runtime inspection or modification: it's
a one-way one-shot switch to pretend you're using Python 3.
ceval.c: when _Py_QnewFlag is set, treat BINARY_DIVIDE as
BINARY_TRUE_DIVIDE.
test_{descr, generators, zipfile}.py: fiddle so these pass under
-Qnew too. This was just a matter of s!/!//! in test_generators and
test_zipfile. test_descr was trickier, as testbinop() is passed
assumptions that "/" is the same as calling a "__div__" method; put
a temporary hack there to call "__truediv__" instead when the method
name is "__div__" and 1/2 evaluates to 0.5.
Three standard tests still fail under -Qnew (on Windows; somebody
please try the Linux tests with -Qnew too! Linux runs a whole bunch
of tests Windows doesn't):
test_augassign
test_class
test_coercion
I can't stay awake longer to stare at this (be my guest). Offhand
cures weren't obvious, nor was it even obvious that cures are possible
without major hackery.
Question: when -Qnew is in effect, should calls to __div__ magically
change into calls to __truediv__? See "major hackery" at tail end of
last paragraph <wink>.
There's now a new structmember code, T_OBJECT_EX, which is used for
all __slot__ variables (except __weakref__, which has special behavior
anyway). This new code raises AttributeError when the variable is
NULL rather than converting NULL to None.
The error for assignment to __debug__ used ste->ste_opt_lineno instead
of n->n_lineno. The latter was at best incorrect; often the slot was
uninitialized. Two fixes here: Use the correct lineno for the error.
Initialize ste_opt_lineno in PySymtable_New(); while there are no
current cases where it is referenced unless it has already been
assigned to, there is no harm in initializing it.
use wrappers on all platforms, to make this as consistent as possible x-
platform (in particular, make sure there's at least one \0 byte in
the output buffer). Also document more of the truth about what these do.
getargs.c, seterror(): Three computations of remaining buffer size were
backwards, thus telling PyOS_snprintf the buffer is larger than it
actually is. This matters a lot now that PyOS_snprintf ensures there's a
trailing \0 byte (because it didn't get the truth about the buffer size,
it was storing \0 beyond the true end of the buffer).
sysmodule.c, mywrite(): Simplify, now that PyOS_vsnprintf guarantees to
produce a \0 byte.
than the argument string size, copy as many bytes as will fit
(including a terminating '\0'), rather than not copying anything.
This to make it satisfy the C99 spec.
vgetargskeywords(): Now that this routine is checking for bad input
(rather than dump core in some cases), some bad calls are raising errors
that previously "worked". This patch makes the error strings more
revealing, and changes the exceptions from SystemError to RuntimeError
(under the theory that SystemError is more of a "can't happen!" assert-
like thing, and so inappropriate for bad arguments to a public C API
function).
seterror() uses a char array and a pointer to the current position in
that array. Use snprintf() and compute the amount of space left in
the buffer based on the current pointer position.
If it returns -1 (which indicates overflow on old Linux platforms and
perhaps on Windows) or size greater than buffer, write a message
indicating that the previous message was truncated.
com_arglist(), symtable_check_unoptimized(), symtable_params(),
symtable_global(), symtable_list_comprehension():
Conversion of sprintf() to PyOS_snprintf() for buffer overrun
avoidance.
PyEval_EvalCodeEx(): increment tstate->recursion_depth around the
decref of the frame, because the C stack for this call is still in
use and the decref can lead to __del__ methods getting called.
While this gives tstate->recursion_depth a value proportional to the
depth of the C stack (instead of a small constant no matter how
deeply __del__s recurse), it's not enough to stop the reported crash
when using the default recursion limit on Windows.

tb_displayline(): the sprintf format was choking off the file name, but
used plain %s for the function name (which can be arbitrarily long).
Limit both to 500 chars max.
uninitialized memory reads reported in bug #478001.
Note that this doesn't address the following larger issues:
- Error conditions are not documented for PyOS_*sig() in the C API.
- Nothing that actually calls PyOS_*sig() in the core interpreter and
extension modules actually /checks/ the return value of the call.
Fixing those is left as an exercise for a later day.
This patch boosts performance for comparing identical string object

routines. As of 10.1 using Carbon will crash Python if no window server is
available (ssh connection, console mode, MacOSX Server). This fixes bug
#466907.
A result of this mod is that the default 8bit encoding on OSX is now ASCII,
for the time being. Also, the extension modules that need the Carbon
framework now explicitly include it in setup.py.
+ Squash another potential buffer overrun.
+ Simplify the keyword-arg loop by decrementing the count of keywords
remaining instead of incrementing Yet Another Variable; also break
out early if the number of keyword args remaining hits 0.
Since I hit the function's closing curly brace with this patch, that's
enough of this for now <wink>.
The "need" for this was probably removed by an earlier patch that stopped
the loop right before it from passing NULL to a dict lookup routine.
I still haven't convinced myself that the next loop is correct, so am
leaving the next mysterious PyErr_Clear() call in for now.
+ Generally test nkeywords against 0 instead of keywords against NULL
(saves a little work if an empty keywords dict is passed, and is
conceptually more on-target regardless).
+ When a call erroneously specifies a keyword argument both by position
and by keyword name:
- It was easy to provoke this routine into an internal buffer overrun
by using a long argument name. Now uses PyErr_format instead (which
computes a safe buffer size).
- Improved the error msg.
+ Got rid of now-redundant dict typecheck.
+ Renamed nkwds to nkwlist. Now all the "counting" vrbls have names
related to the things they're counting in an obvious way.
+ Renamed argslen to nargs.
+ Renamed kwlen to nkeywords. This one was especially confusing because
kwlen wasn't the length of the kwlist argument, but of the keywords
argument.
+ Removed now-redundant tuple typecheck.
+ Renamed "tplen" local to "argslen" (it's the length of the "args"
argument; I suppose "tp" was for "Tim Peters should rename me
someday <wink>).
introduced this bug just a little while ago, when *adding* internal error
checks).
vgetargskeywords: Rewrote the section that crawls over the format string.
+ Added block comment so it won't take the next person 15 minutes to
reverse-engineer what it's doing.
+ Lined up the "else" clauses.
+ Rearranged the ifs in decreasing order of likelihood (for speed).
and raise an error if they're insane.
vgetargskeywords: the same, except that since this is an internal routine,
just assert that the arguments are sane.
the kwlist vector whenever there was a mix of positional and keyword
arguments, and the number of positional arguments exceeded the length
of the kwlist vector. If there was just one more positional arg than
keyword, the kwlist-terminating NULL got passed to PyMapping_HasKeyString,
which set an internal error that vgetargskeywords() then squashed (but
it's impossible to say whether it knew it was masking an error). If
more than one more positional argument, it went on to pass random trash
to PyMapping_HasKeyString, which is why the example at the start
happened to kill the process.
Pure bugfix candidate.
to call the corresponding methods. This is not a performance improvement
since the times are still swamped by disk I/O, but cleans up the code just
a little.
In Include/, marshal.h declares both
PyMarshal_ReadLongFromFile()
and PyMarshal_ReadShortFromFile(),
but the second is missing from marshal.c.
[Shouldn't the return type be declared as 'short' instead of 'int'?
But 'int' is what was in marshal.h all those years... --Guido]
This fixes the behavior reported by SF bug #404545, where a file
x.y.py could be imported by the statement "import x.y" when there's a
frozen package x (I believe even if x.y also exists as a frozen
module).
:-).
Add a test that prevents the __hello__ bytecode from going stale
unnoticed again.
The test also tests the loophole noted in SF bug #404545. This test
will fail right now; I'll check in the fix in a minute.
The symbol table pass didn't have an explicit case for the list_iter
node which is used only for a nested list comprehension. As a result,
the target of the list comprehension was treated as a use instead of
an assignment. Fix is to add a case to symtable_node() to handle
list_iter.
Also, rework and document a couple of the subtler implementation
issues in the symbol table pass. The symtable_node() switch statement
depends on falling through the last several cases, in order to handle
some of the more complicated nodes like atom. Add a comment
explaining the behavior before the first fall through case. Add a
comment /* fall through */ at the end of case so that it is explicitly
marked as such.
Move the for_stmt case out of the fall through logic, which simplifies
both for_stmt and default. (The default used the local variable start
to skip the first three nodes of a for_stmt when it fell through.)
Rename the flag argument to symtable_assign() to def_flag and add a
comment explaining its use:
The third argument to symatble_assign() is a flag to be passed to
symtable_add_def() if it is eventually called. The flag is useful
to specify the particular type of assignment that should be
recorded, e.g. an assignment caused by import.
Also minor tweaks to internal routines.
Use PyCF_MASK instead of explicit list of flags.
For the MAKE_CLOSURE opcode, the number of items popped off the stack
depends on both the oparg and the number of free variables for the
code object. Fix the code so it accounts for the free variables.
In com_classdef(), record an extra pop to account for the STORE call
after the BUILD_CLASS.
Get rid of some commented out debugging code in com_push() and
com_pop().
Factor string resize logic into helper routine com_check_size().
In com_addbyte(), remove redudant if statement after assert. (They
test the same condition.)
In several routines, use string macros instead of string functions.
This changes Pythread_start_thread() to return the thread ID, or -1
for an error. (It's technically an incompatible API change, but I
doubt anyone calls it.)
When an extension imports another extension in its
initXXX() function, the variable _Py_PackageContext is
prematurely reset to NULL. If the outer extension then
calls Py_InitModule(), the extension is installed in
sys.modules without its package name. The
manifestation of this bug is a "SystemError:
_PyImport_FixupExtension: module <package>.<extension>
not loaded".
To fix this, importdl.c just needs to retain the old
value of _Py_PackageContext and restore it after the
initXXX() method is called. The attached patch does this.
This patch applies to Python 2.1.1 and the current CVS.
"for <var> in <testlist> may no longer be a single test followed by
a comma. This solves SF bug #431886. Note that if the testlist
contains more than one test, a trailing comma is still allowed, for
maximum backward compatibility; but this example is not:
[(x, y) for x in range(10), for y in range(10)]
^
The fix involved creating a new nonterminal 'testlist_safe' whose
definition doesn't allow the trailing comma if there's only one test:
testlist_safe: test [(',' test)+ [',']]
This patch changes to logic to:
if env.var. set and non-empty:
if env.var. is an integer:
set flag to that integer
if flag is zero: # [actually, <= 0 --GvR]
set flag to 1
Under this patch, anyone currently using
PYTHONVERBOSE=yes will get the same output as before.
PYTHONVERBNOSE=2 will generate more verbosity than
before.
The only unusual case that the following three are
still all equivalent:
PYTHONVERBOSE=yespleas
PYTHONVERBOSE=1
PYTHONVERBOSE=0
This patch updates Python/thread_pthread.h to mask all
signals for any thread created. This will keep all
signals masked for any thread that isn't the initial
thread. For Solaris and Linux, the two platforms I was
able to test it on, it solves bug #465673 (pthreads
need signal protection) and probably will solve bug
#219772 (Interactive InterPreter+ Thread -> core dump
at exit).
I'd be great if this could get some testing on other
platforms, especially HP-UX pre 11.00 and post 11.00,
as I had to make some guesses for the DCE thread case.
AIX is also a concern as I saw some mention of using
sigthreadmask() as a pthread_sigmask() equivalent, but
this patch doesn't use sigthreadmask(). I don't have
access to AIX.
