Tim Peters 6ee4234802 SF bug #439104: Tuple richcompares has code-typo.
Symptom:  (1, 2, 3) <= (1, 2) returned 1.
This was already fixed in CVS for tuples, but an isomorphic error was in
the list richcompare code.

Tim Peters a7259597f1 SF bug 433228: repr(list) woes when len(list) big.
Gave Python linear-time repr() implementations for dicts, lists, strings.
This means, e.g., that repr(range(50000)) is no longer 50x slower than
pprint.pprint() in 2.2 <wink>.

I don't consider this a bugfix candidate, as it's a performance boost.

Added _PyString_Join() to the internal string API.  If we want that in the
public API, fine, but then it requires runtime error checks instead of
asserts.

Tim Peters 1af03e98d9 Change list.extend() error msgs and NEWS to reflect that list.extend()
now takes any iterable argument, not only sequences.

NEEDS DOC CHANGES -- but I don't think we settled on a concise way to
say this stuff.

Tim Peters 442914d265 Cruft cleanup: removed the #ifdef'ery in support of compiling to allow
multi-argument list.append(1, 2, 3) (as opposed to .append((1,2,3))).

Tim Peters 65b8b84839 roundupsize() and friends: fiddle over-allocation strategy for list
resizing.

Accurate timings are impossible on my Win98SE box, but this is obviously
faster even on this box for reasonable list.append() cases.  I give
credit for this not to the resizing strategy but to getting rid of integer
multiplication and divsion (in favor of shifting) when computing the
rounded-up size.

For unreasonable list.append() cases, Win98SE now displays linear behavior
for one-at-time appends up to a list with about 35 million elements.  Then
it dies with a MemoryError, due to fatally fragmented *address space*
(there's plenty of VM available, but by this point Win9X has broken user
space into many distinct heaps none of which has enough contiguous space
left to resize the list, and for whatever reason Win9x isn't coalescing
the dead heaps).  Before the patch it got a MemoryError for the same
reason, but once the list reached about 2 million elements.

Haven't yet tried on Win2K but have high hopes extreme list.append()
will be much better behaved now (NT & Win2K didn't fragment address space,
but suffered obvious quadratic-time behavior before as lists got large).

For other systems I'm relying on common sense:  replacing integer * and /
by << and >> can't plausibly hurt, the number of function calls hasn't
changed, and the total operation count for reasonably small lists is about
the same (while the operations are cheaper now).

Guido van Rossum b86c549c7c Fix core dump whenever PyList_Reverse() was called.
This fixes SF bug #132008, reported by Warren J. Hack.

The copyright for this patch (and this patch only) belongs to CNRI, as
part of the (yet to be issued) 1.6.1 release.

This is now checked into the HEAD branch.  Tim will check in a test
case to check for this specific bug, and an assertion in
PyArgs_ParseTuple() to catch similar bugs in the future.

Guido van Rossum 65e1cea6e3 Convert to rich comparisons:
- sort's docompare() calls RichCompare(Py_LT).

- list_contains(), list_index(), listcount(), listremove() call
  RichCompare(Py_EQ).

- Get rid of list_compare(), in favor of new list_richcompare().  The
  latter does some nice shortcuts, like when == or != is requested, it
  first compares the lengths for trivial accept/reject.  Then it goes
  over the items until it finds an index where the items differe; then
  it does more shortcut magic to minimize the number of additional
  comparisons.

- Aligned the comments for large struct initializers.

Fred Drake d5fadf75e4 Rationalize use of limits.h, moving the inclusion to Python.h.
Add definitions of INT_MAX and LONG_MAX to pyport.h.
Remove includes of limits.h and conditional definitions of INT_MAX
and LONG_MAX elsewhere.

This closes SourceForge patch #101659 and bug #115323.

Thomas Wouters e289e0bd0c Support for the in-place operations introduced by augmented assignment. Only
the list object supports this currently, but other candidates are
gladly accepted (like arraymodule and such.)

Jeremy Hylton c5007aa5c3 final patches from Neil Schemenauer for garbage collection 2000-06-30 05:02:53 +00:00
Jeremy Hylton d08b4c4524 part 2 of Neil Schemenauer's GC patches:
This patch modifies the type structures of objects that
participate in GC.  The object's tp_basicsize is increased when
GC is enabled.  GC information is prefixed to the object to
maintain binary compatibility.  GC objects also define the
tp_flag Py_TPFLAGS_GC.
2000-06-23 19:37:02 +00:00
Jeremy Hylton 8caad49c30 Round 1 of Neil Schemenauer's GC patches:
This patch adds the type methods traverse and clear necessary for GC
implementation.

Andrew M. Kuchling 74042d6e5d Patch from /F:
this patch introduces PySequence_Fast and PySequence_Fast_GET_ITEM,
and modifies the list.extend method to accept any kind of sequence.
2000-06-18 18:43:14 +00:00
Fred Drake 56780257c6 Thomas Wouters <thomas@xs4all.net>:
The following patch adds "sq_contains" support to rangeobject, and enables
the already-written support for sq_contains in listobject and tupleobject.

The rangeobject "contains" code should be a bit more efficient than the
current default "in" implementation ;-) It might not get used much, but it's
not that much to add.

listobject.c and tupleobject.c already had code for sq_contains, and the
proper struct member was set, but the PyType structure was not extended to
include tp_flags, so the object-specific code was not getting called (Go
ahead, test it ;-). I also did this for the immutable_list_type in
listobject.c, eventhough it is probably never used. Symmetry and all that.

error messages.

Guido van Rossum b18618dab7 Vladimir Marangozov's long-awaited malloc restructuring.
For more comments, read the patches@python.org archives.
For documentation read the comments in mymalloc.h and objimpl.h.

(This is not exactly what Vladimir posted to the patches list; I've
made a few changes, and Vladimir sent me a fix in private email for a
problem that only occurs in debug mode.  I'm also holding back on his
change to main.c, which seems unnecessary to me.)

Jeremy Hylton 37b1a26c89 add list_contains and tuplecontains: efficient implementations of tp_contains 2000-04-27 21:41:03 +00:00
Guido van Rossum d724b23420 Christian Tismer's "trashcan" patch:
Added wrapping macros to dictobject.c, listobject.c, tupleobject.c,
frameobject.c, traceback.c that safely prevends core dumps
on stack overflow. Macros and functions in object.c, object.h.
The method is an "elevator destructor" that turns cascading
deletes into tail recursive behavior when some limit is hit.
2000-03-13 16:01:29 +00:00
Guido van Rossum ef93b87f1c Added Christian Tismer's patch to allow list.append(a,b,c) back --
with a twist: you have to define NO_STRICT_LIST_APPEND manually
to enable multi-arg append().
2000-03-13 15:41:59 +00:00
Guido van Rossum c00a938be8 OKOK, Greg's right, I should've used the :name option in the argument
format strings.
2000-02-24 21:48:29 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 4aa24f9979 Made all list methods use PyArg_ParseTuple(), for more accurate
diagnostics.

*** INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: This changes append(), remove(), index(), and
*** count() to require exactly one argument -- previously, multiple
*** arguments were silently assumed to be a tuple.
2000-02-24 15:23:03 +00:00
Guido van Rossum bffd683f73 The rest of the changes by Trent Mick and Dale Nagata for warning-free

Guido van Rossum 3aa23fdd47 Jim Ahlstrom patch: cutoff should be a long for machines with 16-bit
ints.  (In theory, other variables should be widened to long as well,
but this won't ever be needed, since the len of a list is still an
int.)

Noted by Greg Stein.

Guido van Rossum 3dd7f3fef0 Added doc strings for methods and a new pop() method. 1998-06-30 15:36:32 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 4281258b5f Minor cleanup by Tim after my changes:
+ Took the "list" argument out of the other functions that no longer need
it.  This speeds things up a little more.

+ Small comment changes in accord with that.

+ Exploited the now-safe ability to cache values in the partitioning loop.
Makes no timing difference on my flavor of Pentium, but this machine ran out
of registers 12 iterations ago.  It should yield a small speedup on a RISC
machine, and not hurt in any case.
1998-06-17 14:15:44 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 4c4e7df755 Tim's latest, with some of my changes (also a TP suggestion) added:
instead of testing whether the list changed size after each
comparison, temporarily set the type of the list to an immutable list
type.  This should allow continued use of the list for legitimate
purposes but disallows all operations that can change it in any way.
(Changes to the internals of list items are not caught, of cause;
that's not possible to detect, and it's not necessary to protect the
sort code, either.)
1998-06-16 15:18:28 +00:00
Guido van Rossum a119c0dd5e Tim's revision of the previous patch. He also added some sparts to
the median-of-three code to get a few percent back.

Guido van Rossum fb376dee55 Use Py_Repr{Enter,Leave} to display recursive lists in finite space.
(Jeremy will hardly recognize his patch :-)
1998-04-10 22:47:27 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 044b9dc1d7 Add back some safeguards on the index elements that were lost in the
last patch.  Dave Ascher found a case that dumps core without these:

def myComparison(x,y):
    return cmp(x%3,y%7)

z = range(12)
z.sort(myComparison)
1998-02-25 17:50:03 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 24e62e2c7c Modified quicksort by Raymund Galvin, after studying the GNU libg++
quicksort.  This should be much faster if there are lots of
duplicates, and otherwise at least as good.
1997-12-10 15:14:24 +00:00
Guido van Rossum a27d112213 Rename roundup() to roundupsize(), as there's a macro roundup() in the
sys/types.h header on many systems that may get pulled in (through
WANT_SIGFPE_HANDLER which pulls in signal.h).
1997-08-25 18:36:23 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 5d8123f34a Reordered list of methods to hopefully put the most frequently used
ones near the front.

integer overflow in << operator.
1997-03-05 00:45:43 +00:00
Guido van Rossum cc15b42e59 Change comment about MINSIZE -- 10 is optimal for Python. 1996-12-16 03:32:39 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 3176bb1df2 Some more tuning of quicksort: use pointers instead of indexing. 1996-12-11 23:57:39 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 3f236dee3a Added new quicksort implementation, tailored to sorting arrays of
object pointers.  Should be a bit faster than the C library's qsort(),
and doesn't have the prohibition on recursion that Solaris qsort() has
in the threaded version of their C library.

Thanks to discussions with Tim Peters.
1996-12-10 23:55:39 +00:00

1993-11-10 09:23:53 +00:00
Guido van Rossum dc4b93db70 * listobject.c (list_ass_slice): XDECREF instead of DECREF so
setlistslice() can be used to cut the unused part out of a freshly made

* structural changes to bagof(), map() etc.
1993-10-27 14:56:44 +00:00
Sjoerd Mullender a9c3c22c33 * Extended X interface: pixmap objects, colormap objects visual objects,
image objects, and lots of new methods.
* Added counting of allocations and deallocations of builtin types if

  changed files that still used it...  And made several things static
  that weren't but should have been...  And other minor cleanups...
* listobject.[ch]: add external interfaces {set,get}listslice
* socketmodule.c: fix bugs in new send() argument parsing.
* sunaudiodevmodule.c: added flush() and close().
1993-06-17 12:35:49 +00:00
Guido van Rossum bf80e5407f * stdwinmodule.c: various new commands: setwin{pos,size},
listfontnames, bitmap ops.
* listobject.c: use mkvalue() when possible; avoid weird error when
  calling append() without args.
* modsupport.c: new feature in getargs(): if the format string
  contains a semicolor the string after that is used as the error
  message instead of "bad argument list (format %s)" when there's an
  error.
1993-02-08 15:49:17 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 34679b7661 * Added Fixcprt.py: script to fix copyright message.

  strdup() -- it is a portability risk
* Makefile: enclosed ranlib command in parentheses for Sequent Make
  which aborts if the command is not found even if '-' is present
* timemodule.c: time() returns a floating point number, in microsecond
  precision if BSD_TIME is defined.
1993-01-04 09:09:59 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 7066dd75c5 * Makefile: added IMGFILE; moved some stuff around.
* flmodule.c: added some missing functions; changed readonly flags of
  some data members based upon FORMS documentation.
* listobject.c: fixed int/long arg lint bug (bites PC compilers).
* several: removed redundant print methods (repr is good enough).
* posixmodule.c: added (still experimental) process group functions.
1992-09-17 17:54:56 +00:00
Guido van Rossum ba3690cd09 Remove outdated warning in comments. 1992-09-03 20:44:36 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 1e28e5e596 * renamed malloc.h mymalloc.h, and added MALLARG as the type of the
argument to malloc() (size_t or unsigned int)

* listobject.c: check for overflow of the size of the object,
  so things like range(0x7fffffff) will raise MemoryError instead
  of calling malloc() with -4 (and then crashing -- malloc's fault)
1992-08-19 16:46:30 +00:00

* socketmodule: get rid of getStrarg()
* ceval.h: move eval_code() to new file eval.h, so compile.h is no
  longer needed.
* ceval.c: move thread comments to ceval.h; always make save/restore
  thread functions available (for dynloaded modules)
* cdmodule.c, listobject.c: don't include compile.h
* flmodule.c: include ceval.h
* import.c: include eval.h instead of ceval.h
* cgen.py: add forground(); noport(); winopen(""); to initgl().
* bltinmodule.c, socketmodule.c, fileobject.c, posixmodule.c,
  selectmodule.c:
  adapt to threads (add BGN/END SAVE macros)
* stdwinmodule.c: adapt to threads and use a special stdwin lock.
* pythonmain.c: don't include getpythonpath().
