particular, str(long) and repr(long) use base 10, and that gets a factor
of 4 speedup). Another factor of 2 can be gotten by refactoring divrem1 to
support in-place division, but that started getting messy so I'm leaving
that out.
raising an error. This was one of the two issues that the VPython
folks were particularly problematic for their students. (The other
one was integer division...) This implements (my) SF patch #440487.

Implement sys.maxunicode.
Explicitly wrap around upper/lower computations for wide Py_UNICODE.
When decoding large characters with UTF-8, represent expected test
results using the \U notation.
Add configure option --enable-unicode.
Add config.h macros Py_USING_UNICODE, PY_UNICODE_TYPE, Py_UNICODE_SIZE,
SIZEOF_WCHAR_T.
Define Py_UCS2.
Encode and decode large UTF-8 characters into single Py_UNICODE values
for wide Unicode types; likewise for UTF-16.
Remove test whether sizeof Py_UNICODE is two.
"mapping" object, specifically one that supports PyMapping_Keys() and
PyObject_GetItem(). This allows you to say e.g. {}.update(UserDict())
We keep the special case for concrete dict objects, although that
seems moderately questionable. OTOH, the code exists and works, so
why change that?
.update()'s docstring already claims that D.update(E) implies calling
E.keys() so it's appropriate not to transform AttributeErrors in
PyMapping_Keys() to TypeErrors.
Patch eyeballed by Tim.
unicodeobject.h, which forces sizeof(Py_UNICODE) == sizeof(Py_UCS4).
(this may be good enough for platforms that doesn't have a 16-bit
type. the UTF-16 codecs don't work, though)
the next free valuestack slot, not to the base (in America, stacks push
and pop at the top -- they mutate at the bottom in Australia <winK>).
eval_frame(): assert that f_stacktop isn't NULL upon entry.
frame_delloc(): avoid ordered pointer comparisons involving f_stacktop
when f_stacktop is NULL.
i_divmod: New and simpler algorithm. Old one returned gibberish on most
boxes when the numerator was -sys.maxint-1. Oddly enough, it worked in the
release (not debug) build on Windows, because the compiler optimized away
some tricky sign manipulations that were incorrect in this case.
Makes you wonder <wink> ...
Bugfix candidate.
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.
is allocated than needed (used to allocate 80 bytes of digit space no
matter how small the long input). This also runs faster, at least on 32-
bit boxes.
Replaced PyLong_{As,From}{Unsigned,}LongLong guts with calls
to _PyLong_{As,From}ByteArray.
_testcapimodule.c:
Added strong tests of PyLong_{As,From}{Unsigned,}LongLong.
Fixes SF bug #432552 PyLong_AsLongLong() problems.
Possible bugfix candidate, but the fix relies on code added to longobject
to support the new q/Q structmodule format codes.
This completes the q/Q project.
longobject.c _PyLong_AsByteArray: The original code had a gross bug:
the most-significant Python digit doesn't necessarily have SHIFT
significant bits, and you really need to count how many copies of the sign
bit it has else spurious overflow errors result.
test_struct.py: This now does exhaustive std q/Q testing at, and on both
sides of, all relevant power-of-2 boundaries, both positive and negative.
NEWS: Added brief dict news while I was at it.
_PyLong_FromByteArray
_PyLong_AsByteArray
Untested and probably buggy -- they compile OK, but nothing calls them
yet. Will soon be called by the struct module, to implement x-platform
'q' and 'Q'.
If other people have uses for them, we could move them into the public API.
See longobject.h for usage details.
case of objects with equal types which support tp_compare. Give
type objects a tp_compare function.
Also add c<0 tests before a few PyErr_Occurred tests.
frequently used, and in particular this allows to drop the last
remaining obvious time-waster in the crucial lookdict() and
lookdict_string() functions. Other changes consist mostly of changing
"i < ma_size" to "i <= ma_mask" everywhere.
be possible to provoke unbounded recursion now, but leaving that to someone
else to provoke and repair.
Bugfix candidate -- although this is getting harder to backstitch, and the
cases it's protecting against are mondo contrived.
code, less memory. Tests have uncovered no drawbacks. Christian and
Vladimir are the other two people who have burned many brain cells on the
dict code in recent years, and they like the approach too, so I'm checking
it in without further ado.
