Martin v. Löwis 14f8b4cfcb Patch #568124: Add doc string macros. 2002-06-13 20:33:02 +00:00
Tim Peters 5de9842b34 Repair widespread misuse of _PyString_Resize. Since it's clear people
don't understand how this function works, also beefed up the docs.  The
most common usage error is of this form (often spread out across gotos):

	if (_PyString_Resize(&s, n) < 0) {
		Py_DECREF(s);
		s = NULL;
		goto outtahere;
	}

The error is that if _PyString_Resize runs out of memory, it automatically
decrefs the input string object s (which also deallocates it, since its
refcount must be 1 upon entry), and sets s to NULL.  So if the "if"
branch ever triggers, it's an error to call Py_DECREF(s):  s is already
NULL!  A correct way to write the above is the simpler (and intended)

	if (_PyString_Resize(&s, n) < 0)
		goto outtahere;

Bugfix candidate.

Marc-André Lemburg a5d2b4cb18 Break SSL support out of _socket module and place it into a new
helper module _ssl.

The support for the RAND_* APIs in _ssl is now only enabled
for OpenSSL 0.9.5 and up since they were added in that
release.

Note that socketmodule.* should really be renamed to _socket.* --
unfortunately, this seems to lose the CVS history of the file.

Please review and test... I was only able to test the header file
chaos in socketmodule.c/h on Linux. The test run through fine
and compiles don't give errors or warnings.

WARNING: This patch does *not* include changes to the various
non-Unix build process files.
