The proper fix is not quite what was submitted; it's really better to
take the class of the object passed rather than calling PyMethod_New
with NULL pointer args, because that can then cause other core dumps
later.
I also added a testcase for the fix to classmethods() in test_descr.py.
I've already applied this to the 2.2 branch.
As promised in my response to the bug report, I'm not really fixing
it; in fact, one could argule over what the proper fix should do.
Instead, I'm adding a little magic that raises TypeError if you try to
pickle an instance of a class that has __slots__ but doesn't define or
override __getstate__. This is done by adding a bozo __getstate__
that always raises TypeError.
Bugfix candidate (also the checkin to typeobject.c, of course).
and (b) stop trying to prevent file growth.
Beef up the file.truncate() docs.
Change test_largefile.py to stop assuming that f.truncate() moves the
file pointer to the truncation point, and to verify instead that it leaves
the file position alone. Remove the test for what happens when a
specified size exceeds the original file size (it's ill-defined, according
to the Single Unix Spec).
dropping MS's inadequate _chsize() function. This was inspired by
SF patch 498109 ("fileobject truncate support for win32"), which I
rejected.
libstdtypes.tex: Someone who knows should update the availability
blurb. For example, if it's available on Linux, it would be good to
say so.
test_largefile: Uncommented the file.truncate() tests, and reworked to
do more. The old comment about "permission errors" in the truncation
tests under Windows was almost certainly due to that the file wasn't open
for *write* access at this point, so of course MS wouldn't let you
truncate it. I'd be appalled if a Unixish system did.
CAUTION: Someone should run this test on Linux (etc) too. The
truncation part was commented out before. Note that test_largefile isn't
run by default.
Adapter from SF patch 528038; fixes SF bug 527816.
The wrapper for __nonzero__ should be wrap_inquiry rather than
wrap_unaryfunc, since the slot returns an int, not a PyObject *.
mmap_find_method(): this obtained the string to find via s#, but it
ignored its length, acting as if it were \0-terminated instead.
Someone please run on Linux too (the extended test_mmap works on Windows).
Bugfix candidate.
Due to the bizarre definition of _PyLong_Copy(), creating an instance
of a subclass of long with a negative value could cause core dumps
later on. Unfortunately it looks like the behavior of _PyLong_Copy()
is quite intentional, so the fix is more work than feels comfortable.
This fix is almost, but not quite, the code that Naofumi Honda added;
in addition, I added a test case.
- Use substring search, not re search for user-agent and paths.
- Consider * entry last. Unquote, then requote URLs.
- Treat empty Disallow as "allow everything".
Add test cases. Fixes#523041
There were never tests for the fact that list() always returns a *new*
list object, even when the argument is a list, while tuple() may
return a reference to the argument when it is a tuple. Now there are.
Fix exit races in test_thread.py and test_threaded_import.py.
I suspect the bug is provokable only under Linux (where child threads
seem to get lots of cycles before they get killed after the main thread
exits), or on multi-processor machines running other OSes.
Bugfix candidate.
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.
deepcopy(), _reconstruct(): pass the memo to the other function, so
that recursive data structures built out of new-style objects may be
deeply copied correctly.
2.2.1 bugfix!
Fix for SF bug #492345. (I could've sworn I checked this in, but
apparently I didn't!)
This code:
class Classic:
pass
class New(Classic):
__metaclass__ = type
attempts to create a new-style class with only classic bases -- but it
doesn't work right. Attempts to fix it so it works caused problems
elsewhere, so I'm now raising a TypeError in this case.
- the repr of unicode. Jython only add the u'' if the string contains char
values > 255.
- A unicode arg to unicode() is perfectly valid in jython.
- A test buffer() test. No buffer() on Jython
This closes patch "[ #490920 ] Jython and test_unicode".
backed out of broken minimal repeat patch from July
also fixed a couple of minor potential resource leaks in pattern_subx
(Guido had already fixed the big one)
type.__module__ behavior.
This adds the module name and a dot in front of the type name in every
type object initializer, except for built-in types (and those that
already had this). Note that it touches lots of Mac modules -- I have
no way to test these but the changes look right. Apologies if they're
not. This also touches the weakref docs, which contains a sample type
object initializer. It also touches the mmap test output, because the
mmap type's repr is included in that output. It touches object.h to
put the correct description in a comment.
1. Acknowledge the welknown difference that jython
allows continue in the finally clause.
2. Avoid using _testcapi when running with jython.
This closes patch "[ #490417 ] Jython and test_exceptions"
twice! Fixed this by avoiding the import of test_email, which loads
the module a second time in that situation, and fiddled the __main__
section to resemble other test suites using unittest.
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>.
It was easier than I thought, assuming that no other things contribute
to the instance size besides slots -- a pretty good bet. With a test
suite, no less!
happy if one could delete the __dict__ attribute of an instance. I
love to make Jim happy, so here goes...
- New-style objects now support deleting their __dict__. This is for
all intents and purposes equivalent to assigning a brand new empty
dictionary, but saves space if the object is not used further.
int_mul(): new and vastly simpler overflow checking. Whether it's
faster or slower will likely vary across platforms, favoring boxes
with fast floating point. OTOH, we no longer have to worry about
people shipping broken LONG_BIT definitions <0.9 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.
Rather than tweaking the inheritance of type object slots (which turns
out to be too messy to try), this fix adds a __hash__ to the list and
dict types (the only mutable types I'm aware of) that explicitly
raises an error. This has the advantage that list.__hash__([]) also
raises an error (previously, this would invoke object.__hash__([]),
returning the argument's address); ditto for dict.__hash__.
The disadvantage for this fix is that 3rd party mutable types aren't
automatically fixed. This should be added to the rules for creating
subclassable extension types: if you don't want your object to be
hashable, add a tp_hash function that raises an exception.
Also, it's possible that I've forgotten about other mutable types for
which this should be done.
SF patch #480716 by Greg Chapman fixes the problem that super's
__get__ method always returns an instance of super, even when the
instance whose __get__ method is called is an instance of a subclass
of super.
Other issues fixed:
- super(C, C()).__class__ would return the __class__ attribute of C()
rather than the __class__ attribute of the super object. This is
confusing. To fix this, I decided to change the semantics of super
so that it only applies to code attributes, not to data attributes.
After all, overriding data attributes is not supported anyway.
- While super(C, x) carefully checked that x is an instance of C,
super(C).__get__(x) made no such check, allowing for a loophole.
This is now fixed.
More changes to the formatdate epoch test: the Mac epoch is in
localtime, so east of GMT it falls in 1903:-( Changed the test to
obtain the epoch in both local time and GMT, and do the right
thing in the comparisons. As a sanity measure also check that
day/month is Jan 1.
use the correct way to test for epoch, by looking at the year
component of gmtime(0). Add clause for Unix epoch and Mac epoch (Tim,
what is Windows epoch?).
Also, get rid of the strptime() test, it was way too problematic given
that strptime() is missing on many platforms and issues with locales.
Instead, simply test that formatdate() gets the numeric timezone
calculation correct for the altzone and timezone.
of multiple inheritance from a mix of new- and classic-style classes.
This is his patch, plus a start at some test cases from me. Will check
in more, plus a NEWS blurb, later tonight.
This gives mmap() on Windows the ability to create read-only, write-
through and copy-on-write mmaps. A new keyword argument is introduced
because the mmap() signatures diverged between Windows and Unix, so
while they (now) both support this functionality, there wasn't a way to
spell it in a common way without introducing a new spelling gimmick.
The old spellings are still accepted, so there isn't a backward-
compatibility issue here.
message for bad mode argument -- so that it doesn't fail on Windows.
It's hack. We know that errno is set to 0 in this case on Windows, so
check for that specifically.
ntpath.join('a', '') was producing 'a' instead of 'a\\' as in 2.1.
Impossible to guess what was ever *intended*, but since split('a\\')
produces ('a', ''), I think it's best if join('a', '') gives 'a\\' back.
test_commands does not work on IRIX
It assumes the output of "ls /bin/ls" is a line
that starts with a '-'. On IRIX that file is
a symbolic link, so the first character is an l.
This causes test_getstatus to fail.
