Guido van Rossum 009afb7c90 SF patch 564549 (Erik Andersén). 
The WeakKeyDictionary constructor didn't work when a dict arg was
given.  Fixed by moving a line.  Also adding a unit test.

Bugfix candidate.

Guido van Rossum 2eb0b87d14 SF patch 514641 (Naofumi Honda) - Negative ob_size of LongObjects 
Due to the bizarre definition of _PyLong_Copy(), creating an instance
of a subclass of long with a negative value could cause core dumps
later on.  Unfortunately it looks like the behavior of _PyLong_Copy()
is quite intentional, so the fix is more work than feels comfortable.

This fix is almost, but not quite, the code that Naofumi Honda added;
in addition, I added a test case.

Guido van Rossum 88b666ca3f SF patch 518765 (Derek Harland): Bug in copy.py when used through 
rexec.

When using a restricted environment, imports of copy will fail with an
AttributeError when trying to access types.CodeType.

Bugfix candidate (all the way back to 1.5.3, but at least 2.1.3 and
2.2.1).

Tim Peters e64ef931d6 SF patch 522961: Leak in Python/thread_nt.h, from Gerald S. Williams. 
A file-static "threads" dict mapped thread IDs to Windows handles, but
was never referenced, and entries never got removed.  This gets rid of
the YAGNI-dict entirely.
Bugfix candidate.

Guido van Rossum c33e077838 SF patch #497420 (Eduardo Pérez): ftplib: ftp anonymous password 
Instead of sending the real user and host, use "anonymous@" (i.e. no
host name at all!) as the default anonymous FTP password.  This avoids
privacy violations.

Tim Peters 1fbb577ee2 SF bug #494738: binascii_b2a_base64 overwrites memory. 
binascii_b2a_base64():  We didn't allocate enough buffer space for very
short inputs (e.g., a 1-byte input can produce a 5-byte output, but we
only allocated 2 bytes).  I expect that malloc overheads absorbed the
overrun in practice, but computing a correct upper bound is a very simple
change.

Guido van Rossum 146483964e Patch supplied by Burton Radons for his own SF bug #487390: Modifying 
type.__module__ behavior.

This adds the module name and a dot in front of the type name in every
type object initializer, except for built-in types (and those that
already had this).  Note that it touches lots of Mac modules -- I have
no way to test these but the changes look right.  Apologies if they're
not.  This also touches the weakref docs, which contains a sample type
object initializer.  It also touches the mmap test output, because the
mmap type's repr is included in that output.  It touches object.h to
put the correct description in a comment.

Tim Peters 25059d30c3 SF patch #489173: Make os.spawnv not block the interpreter, from 
Anthony Roach.
Release the global interpreter lock around platform spawn calls.
Bugfix candidate?  Hard to say; I favor "yes, bugfix".
These clearly *should* have been releasing the GIL all along, if for no
other reason than compatibility with the similar os.system().  But it's
possible some program out there is (a) multithreaded, (b) calling a spawn
function with P_WAIT, and (c) relying on the spawn call to block all their
threads until the spawned program completes.  I think it's very unlikely
anyone is doing that on purpose, but someone may be doing so by accident.

Tim Peters 6d20b43a4e SF bug 485175: buffer overflow in traceback.c. 
Bugfix candidate.
tb_displayline():  the sprintf format was choking off the file name, but
used plain %s for the function name (which can be arbitrarily long).
Limit both to 500 chars max.

Tim Peters 5b40f1c212 SF bug #474077 2.2b1: Error compiling extns with BCC

Guido van Rossum a0dfc8577d Fix SF bug #474538: Memory (reference) leak in poller.register (Dave Brueck) 
Replace some tortuous code that was trying to be clever but forgot to
DECREF the key and value, by more longwinded but obviously correct
code.

(Inspired by but not copying the fix from SF patch #475033.)
 2001-10-25 20:18:35 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 00ebd46dfc SF patch #474175 (Jay T Miller): file.readinto arg parsing bug 
The C-code in fileobject.readinto(buffer) which parses
    the arguments assumes that size_t is interchangeable
    with int:

	    size_t ntodo, ndone, nnow;

	    if (f->f_fp == NULL)
		    return err_closed();
	    if (!PyArg_Parse(args, "w#", &ptr, &ntodo))
		    return NULL;

    This causes a problem on Alpha / Tru64 / OSF1 v5.1
    where size_t is a long and sizeof(long) != sizeof(int).

    The patch I'm proposing declares ntodo as an int.  An
    alternative might be to redefine w# to expect size_t.

[We can't change w# because there are probably third party modules
relying on it. GvR]

Guido van Rossum 67b2659046 Patch from SF bug #473150: configure weaknesses on HP-UX (Michael Piotrowski) 
1. configure doesn't handle HP-UX release numbers
    (e.g., B.11.00), resulting in MACHDEP = "hpuxB".

    2. After checking for wchar.h, configure doesn't
    include it when checking the size of wchar_t.

Guido van Rossum f76de62f7d Fix SF bug #472234: type(obj) calls type->tp_init (Roeland Rengelink) 
The fix is a band-aid: type_call() now makes the same exception for a
single-argument call to type() as type_new() was already making.

undocumented (AFAICT), so documented it.

SF patch #103683: Alternative dll version resources.
Changes similar to the patch.  MarkH should review.
File version and Product version text strings now 2.1a2.
64-bit file and product version numbers are now
    PY_MAJOR_VERSION, PY_MINOR_VERSION, messy, PYTHON_API_VERSION
where
    messy = PY_MICRO_VERSION*1000 + PY_RELEASE_LEVEL*10 + PY_RELEASE_SERIAL
Updated company name to "Digital Creations 2".
Copyright now lists Guido; "C in a circle" symbol used instead of (C).
Comments added so this is less likely to get flubbed again, and
#if/#error guys added to trigger if the version number manipulations
above overflow.

SF patch http://sourceforge.net/patch/?func=detailpatch&patch_id=103453&group_id=5470
PyMember_Set of T_CHAR always raises exception.
Unfortunately, this is a use of a C API function that Python itself never makes, so
there's no .py test I can check in to verify this stays fixed.  But the fault in the
code is obvious, and Dave Cole's patch just as obviously fixes it.

Guido van Rossum ee76f0b293 Credit where credit is due. Also fixed an unalphabetic sequence. 2000-09-25 14:46:26 +00:00
Tim Peters 077a11dd00 arraymodule: Fix SF bug 113960. 
reverse() didn't work at all due to bad arg check.
    Fixed that.
    Added Brad Chapman to ACKS file, as the proud new owner of two
        implicitly copyrighted lines of Python source code <wink>.
    Repaired buffer_info's total lack of arg-checking.
    Replaced memmove by memcpy in reverse() guts, as memmove is
        often slower and the memory areas are guaranteed disjoint.
    Replaced poke-and-hope unchecked decl of tmp buffer size by
        assert-checked larger tmp buffer.
    Got rid of inconsistent spaces before open paren in docstrings.
    Added reverse() sanity tests to test_array.py.

I archived has been added :-).
 2000-04-10 19:14:16 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 494ef17472 Two more names. I just realize that there may be more contributors to 
distutils lurking in CVS logs that I probably haven't read.  Oh well.
 2000-03-31 19:51:06 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 5964f8d60b I believe I've now got all the names mentioned in the CVS logs since 
1.5.2 was released, except those who contributed only to Doc files --
Fred has his own way of doing this.

This doesn't mean that I've got everyone who contributed *before*
1.5.2 was released in here... :-(

them out of the changelogs :-(

Jeremy Hylton 7690151c7e slightly modified version of Greg Ewing's extended call syntax patch 
executive summary:
Instead of typing 'apply(f, args, kwargs)' you can type 'f(*arg, **kwargs)'.
Some file-by-file details follow.

Grammar/Grammar:
    simplify varargslist, replacing '*' '*' with '**'
    add * & ** options to arglist

Include/opcode.h & Lib/dis.py:
    define three new opcodes
        CALL_FUNCTION_VAR
        CALL_FUNCTION_KW
        CALL_FUNCTION_VAR_KW

Python/ceval.c:
    extend TypeError "keyword parameter redefined" message to include
        the name of the offending keyword
    reindent CALL_FUNCTION using four spaces
    add handling of sequences and dictionaries using extend calls
    fix function import_from to use PyErr_Format
