  Issue #789290: make sure that hash(2**63) == hash(2.**63) on 64-bit
  platforms.  The previous code was fragile, depending on the twin
  accidents that:

    (1) in C, casting the double value 2.**63 to long returns the integer
        value -2**63, and
    (2) in Python, hash(-2**63) == hash(2**63).

  There's already a test for this in test_hash.

Python code; but it is possible from C.  object.__str__ had the issue of not
expecting a type to doing something within it's tp_str implementation that
could trigger an infinite recursion, but it could in C code..  Both found
thanks to BaseException and how it handles its repr.

Closes issue #1686386.  Thanks to Thomas Herve for taking an initial stab at
coming up with a solution.

Neal Norwitz 8b2bfbc198 Add -3 option to the interpreter to warn about features that are
deprecated and will be changed/removed in Python 3.0.

This patch is mostly from Anthony.  I tweaked some format and added
a little doc.

Georg Brandl 871f1bc601 Backport from Py3k branch:
Patch #1591665: implement the __dir__() special function lookup in PyObject_Dir.

Had to change a few bits of the patch because classobjs and __methods__ are still
in Py2.6.

Marc-André Lemburg 040f76b79c Slightly revised version of patch #1538956:
Replace UnicodeDecodeErrors raised during == and !=
compares of Unicode and other objects with a new
UnicodeWarning.

All other comparisons continue to raise exceptions.
Exceptions other than UnicodeDecodeErrors are also left
untouched.

Anthony Baxter ac6bd46d5c spread the extern "C" { } magic pixie dust around. Python itself builds now
using a C++ compiler. Still lots and lots of errors in the modules built by
setup.py, and a bunch of warnings from g++ in the core.

Tim Peters cbd6f1896d _Py_PrintReferenceAddresses,_Py_PrintReferences:
interpolate PY_FORMAT_SIZE_T for refcount display
instead of casting refcounts to long.

I understand that gcc on some boxes delivers
nuisance warnings about this, but if any new ones
appear because of this they'll get fixed by magic
when the others get fixed.

Neal Norwitz 7580146b5c Fix and test (manually w/xx module) passing NULLs to PyObject_Str() and
PyObject_Unicode().  This problem was originally reported from Coverity
and addresses mail on python-dev "checkin r43015".

This inlines the conversion of the string to unicode and cleans
up/simplifies some code at the end of the PyObject_Unicode().

We really need a complete C API test module for all public APIs
and passing good and bad parameter values.

Will backport.

Thomas Wouters 8b87a0b5fc Use %ld and casts to long for refcount printing, in absense of a universally

Jeremy Hylton af68c874a6 Add const to several API functions that take char *.
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 *.
