PyTuple_Pack can fail and return NULL. If this happens, then PyType_FromSpecWithBases will incorrectly create a new type without bases. Also, it will crash on the Py_DECREF that follows. Also free members and type in error conditions.
METH_NOARGS functions need only a single argument but they are cast
into a PyCFunction, which takes two arguments. This triggers an
invalid function cast warning in gcc8 due to the argument mismatch.
Fix this by adding a dummy unused argument.
PyStructSequence_InitType() except that it has a return value (0 on success,
-1 on error).
* PyStructSequence_InitType2() now raises MemoryError on memory allocation failure
* Fix also some calls to PyDict_SetItemString(): handle error
_PyDict_GetItemId() is more efficient: it only builds the Unicode string once.
Identifiers (dictionary keys) are now created at Python initialization, and if
the creation failed, Python does exit with a fatal error.
Before, PyDict_GetItemString() failure was not handled: structseq_new() could
call PyObject_GC_NewVar() with a negative size, and structseq_dealloc() could
also crash.

* memory leaks found with valgrind
* compiler warnings in opt mode which would lead to invalid memory reads

Here's a patch which addresses this. It also fixes the indentation in
PySSL_SetError, bringing it into line with PEP 7, fixes a compile warning
about one of the OpenSSL macros, and makes the namespace a bit more
consistent. I've tested it on FC 7 and OS X 10.4.

Improve extended slicing support in builtin types and classes. Specifically:
- Specialcase extended slices that amount to a shallow copy the same way as
is done for simple slices, in the tuple, string and unicode case.
- Specialcase step-1 extended slices to optimize the common case for all
involved types.
- For lists, allow extended slice assignment of differing lengths as long
as the step is 1. (Previously, 'l[:2:1] = []' failed even though
'l[:2] = []' and 'l[:2:None] = []' do not.)
- Implement extended slicing for buffer, array, structseq, mmap and
UserString.UserString.
- Implement slice-object support (but not non-step-1 slice assignment) for
UserString.MutableString.
- Add tests for all new functionality.

Klocwork made another run and found a bunch more problems.
This is the first batch of fixes that should be easy to verify based on context.
This fixes problem numbers: 220 (ast), 323-324 (symtable),
321-322 (structseq), 215 (array), 210 (hotshot), 182 (codecs), 209 (etree).

Even though _Py_Mangle() isn't truly public anyone can call it and
there was no verification that privateobj was a PyString. If it wasn't
a string, this could have allowed a NULL pointer to creep in below and crash.
I wonder if this should be PyString_CheckExact? Must identifiers be strings
or can they be subclasses?

test_signal: Signal handling on the Tru64 buildbot
appears to be utterly insane. Plug some theoretical
insecurities in the test script:
- Verify that the SIGALRM handler was actually installed.
- Don't call alarm() before the handler is installed.
- Move everything that can fail inside the try/finally,
so the test cleans up after itself more often.
- Try sending all the expected signals in
force_test_exit(), not just SIGALRM. Since that was
fixed to actually send SIGALRM (instead of invisibly
dying with an AttributeError), we've seen that sending
SIGALRM alone does not stop this from hanging.
- Move the "kill the child" business into the finally
clause, so the child doesn't survive test failure
to send SIGALRM to other tests later (there are also
baffling SIGALRM-related failures in test_socket).
- Cancel the alarm in the finally clause -- if the
test dies early, we again don't want SIGALRM showing
up to confuse a later test.
Alas, this still relies on timing luck wrt the spawned
script that sends the test signals, but it's hard to see
how waiting for seconds can so often be so unlucky.
test_threadedsignals: curiously, this test never fails
on Tru64, but doesn't normally signal SIGALRM. Anyway,
fixed an obvious (but probably inconsequential) logic
error.

Ah, fudge. One of the prints here actually "shouldn't be"
protected by "if verbose:", which caused the test to fail on
all non-Windows boxes.
Note that I deliberately didn't convert this to unittest yet,
because I expect it would be even harder to debug this on Tru64
after conversion.

Fix a couple of bugs exposed by the new __index__ code. The 64-bit buildbots
were failing due to inappropriate clipping of numbers larger than 2**31
with new-style classes. (typeobject.c) In reviewing the code for classic
classes, there were 2 problems. Any negative value return could be returned.
Always return -1 if there was an error. Also make the checks similar
with the new-style classes. I believe this is correct for 32 and 64 bit
boxes, including Windows64.
Add a test of classic classes too.

Apply the patch #1532975 plus ideas from the patch #1533481.
ctypes instances no longer have the internal and undocumented
'_as_parameter_' attribute which was used to adapt them to foreign
function calls; this mechanism is replaced by a function pointer in
the type's stgdict.
In the 'from_param' class methods, try the _as_parameter_ attribute if
other conversions are not possible.
This makes the documented _as_parameter_ mechanism work as intended.
Change the ctypes version number to 1.0.1.

Tutorial:
Clarify somewhat how parameters are passed to functions
(especially explain what integer means).
Correct the table - Python integers and longs can both be used.
Further clarification to the table comparing ctypes types, Python
types, and C types.
Reference:
Replace integer by C ``int`` where it makes sense.

In one place where I'n not 1000% sure about the non-NULL, raise

This should fix the klocwork issues that Neal sent me. If so,
it should be applied to the release25-maint branch also.

number of tests, all because of the codecs/_multibytecodecs issue described
here (it's not a Py3K issue, just something Py3K discovers):
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2006-April/064051.html
Hye-Shik Chang promised to look for a fix, so no need to fix it here. The
tests that are expected to break are:
test_codecencodings_cn
test_codecencodings_hk
test_codecencodings_jp
test_codecencodings_kr
test_codecencodings_tw
test_codecs
test_multibytecodec
This merge fixes an actual test failure (test_weakref) in this branch,
though, so I believe merging is the right thing to do anyway.
In C++, it's an error to pass a string literal to a char* function
without a const_cast(). Rather than require every C++ extension
module to put a cast around string literals, fix the API to state the
const-ness.
I focused on parts of the API where people usually pass literals:
PyArg_ParseTuple() and friends, Py_BuildValue(), PyMethodDef, the type
slots, etc. Predictably, there were a large set of functions that
needed to be fixed as a result of these changes. The most pervasive
change was to make the keyword args list passed to
PyArg_ParseTupleAndKewords() to be a const char *kwlist[].
One cast was required as a result of the changes: A type object
mallocs the memory for its tp_doc slot and later frees it.
PyTypeObject says that tp_doc is const char *; but if the type was
created by type_new(), we know it is safe to cast to char *.
[ 526072 ] pickling os.stat results round II
structseq's constructors can now take "invisible" fields in a dict.
Gave the constructors better error messages.
their __reduce__ method puts these fields in a dict.
(this is all in aid of getting os.stat_result's to pickle portably)
Also fixes
[ 526039 ] devious code can crash structseqs
Thought needed about how much of this counts as a bugfix. Certainly
#526039 needs to be fixed.
