This allows variables to be declared as formal arguments. The bgenType.declare
method now simply outputs all declarations on separate lines ending
in semicolons.
externally visible name of the module. This is so that type names can be
shown as "Carbon.File.FSSpec" even though the real name of the module is
"_File".
get PEP-252 style objects in stead of old-fashioned objects.
In stead of defining a GetattrHook you declare a class variable getsetlist,
which contains tuples (name, getcode, setcode, docstring).
Only lightly tested: the code still works if you don't inherit PEP252Mixin
and the code works if you inherit it but don't define any getters
or setters. Also, this will not work together with the "poor mans inheritance"
offered by method chains, so the CF module will remain with old-style
objects until PEP253 is supported too.
(with one small bugfix in bgen/bgen/scantools.py)
This replaces string module functions with string methods
for the stuff in the Tools directory. Several uses of
string.letters etc. are still remaining.
where it was: it is really a configuration file, not a normal module.
By moving it into Mac/Lib we can now also store the location of bgen
itself in there, which is needed because bgen isn't installed.
The staticforward define was needed to support certain broken C
compilers (notably SCO ODT 3.0, perhaps early AIX as well) botched the
static keyword when it was used with a forward declaration of a static
initialized structure. Standard C allows the forward declaration with
static, and we've decided to stop catering to broken C compilers. (In
fact, we expect that the compilers are all fixed eight years later.)
I'm leaving staticforward and statichere defined in object.h as
static. This is only for backwards compatibility with C extensions
that might still use it.
XXX I haven't updated the documentation.
pymalloc, apparently. Fixed, but this means all bgen-generated modules will
have to be re-generated.
I hope (and expect) that the pymalloc fixes aren't bugfix candidates, because
if they are this is one too.
- make the selftests work again (they were apparently not used since
very early in bgen's development), with some minor cleanup by me
- make emacs python mode happier
