takes much longer to run in the context of the test suite than when run in
isolation. That's because it forces a large number of full collections,
which take time proportional to the total number of gc'ed objects in the
whole system.
But since the dangerous implementation trickery that caused this test to
fail in 2.0, 2.1 and 2.2 doesn't exist in 2.3 anymore (the trashcan
mechanism stopped doing evil things when the possibility for compiling
without cyclic gc was taken away), such an expensive test is no longer
justified. This checkin leaves the test intact, but fiddles the
constants to reduce the runtime by about a factor of 5.
debug-build failure when an instance of a new-style class is resurrected
by a __del__ method -- we simply never had any code that tried this.
This is already fixed in 2.3 CVS. In 2.2.1, it blows up via
Fatal Python error: GC object already in linked list
I'll fix it in 2.2.1 CVS next.
helper macros to something saner, and used them appropriately in other
files too, to reduce #ifdef blocks.
classobject.c, instance_dealloc(): One of my worst Python Memories is
trying to fix this routine a few years ago when COUNT_ALLOCS was defined
but Py_TRACE_REFS wasn't. The special-build code here is way too
complicated. Now it's much simpler. Difference: in a Py_TRACE_REFS
build, the instance is no longer in the doubly-linked list of live
objects while its __del__ method is executing, and that may be visible
via sys.getobjects() called from a __del__ method. Tough -- the object
is presumed dead while its __del__ is executing anyway, and not calling
_Py_NewReference() at the start allows enormous code simplification.
typeobject.c, call_finalizer(): The special-build instance_dealloc()
pain apparently spread to here too via cut-'n-paste, and this is much
simpler now too. In addition, I didn't understand why this routine
was calling _PyObject_GC_TRACK() after a resurrection, since there's no
plausible way _PyObject_GC_UNTRACK() could have been called on the
object by this point. I suspect it was left over from pasting the
instance_delloc() code. Instead asserted that the object is still
tracked. Caution: I suspect we don't have a test that actually
exercises the subtype_dealloc() __del__-resurrected-me code.
that their uses can be prettier. I've come to despise the names I picked
for these things, though, and expect to change all of them -- I changed
a bunch of other files to use them (replacing #ifdef blocks), but the
names were so obscure out of context that I backed that all out again.
The recent SSL changes resulted in important, but subtle changes to
close() semantics. Since builtin socket makefile() is not called for
SSL connections, we don't get separately closeable fds for connection
and response. Comments in the code explain how to restore makefile
semantics.
Bug fix candidate.
.splitlines() on them, since they may be Header instances.
test_multilingual(), test_header_ctor_default_args(): New tests of
make_header() and that Header can take all default arguments.
create a Header instance. Closes feature request #539481.
Header.__init__(): Allow the initial string to be omitted.
__eq__(), __ne__(): Support rich comparisons for equality of Header

Also, update a bunch of docstrings.
more trivial lexical helper macros so that uses of these guys expand
to nothing at all when they're not enabled. This should help sub-
standard compilers that can't do a good job of optimizing away the
previous "(void)0" expressions.
Py_DECREF: There's only one definition of this now. Yay! That
was that last one in the family defined multiple times in an #ifdef
maze.
Py_FatalError(): Changed the char* signature to const char*.
_Py_NegativeRefcount(): New helper function for the Py_REF_DEBUG
expansion of Py_DECREF. Calling an external function cuts down on
the volume of generated code. The previous inline expansion of abort()
didn't work as intended on Windows (the program often kept going, and
the error msg scrolled off the screen unseen). _Py_NegativeRefcount
calls Py_FatalError instead, which captures our best knowledge of
how to abort effectively across platforms.
argument to the constructor -- defaulting to true -- which is
different than Anthony's approach of using global state.
parse(), parsestr(): Grow a `headersonly' argument which stops parsing
once the header block has been seen, i.e. it does /not/ parse or even
read the body of the message. This is used for parsing message/rfc822
type messages.
We need test cases for the non-strict parsing. Anthony will supply
these.
_parsebody(): We can get rid of the isdigest end-of-line kludges,
although we still need to know if we're parsing a multipart/digest so
we can set the default type accordingly.

default type is message/rfc822. To preserve idempotency, we need a
separate place to define the default type than the Content-Type:

get_default_type(), set_default_type(): Accessor and mutator methods
for the default type.
recursive generation).
_dispatch(): If the message object doesn't have a Content-Type:
header, check its default type instead of assuming it's text/plain.
This makes for correct generation of message/rfc822 containers.
_handle_multipart(): We can get rid of the isdigest kludge. Just
print the message as normal and everything will work out correctly.
_handle_mulitpart_digest(): We don't need this anymore either.
