Also (non-BSDI specific):
- Change the CHECK_STATUS() macro so it tests for nonzero error codes
instead of negative error codes only (this was needed for BSDI, but
appears to be correct according to the PTHREADS spec).
- use memset() to zero out the allocated lock structure. Again, this
was needed for BSDI, but can't hurt elsewhere either.
initialization of class exceptions. Specifically:
init_class_exc(): This function now returns an integer status of the
class exception initialization. No fatal errors in this method now.
Also, use PySys_WriteStderr() when writing error messages. When an
error occurs in this function, 0 is returned, but the partial creation
of the exception classes is not undone (this happens elsewhere).
Things that could trigger the fallback:
- exceptions.py fails to be imported (due to syntax error, etc.)
- one of the exception classes is missing (e.g. due to library
version mismatch)
- exception class can't be inserted into __builtin__'s dictionary
- MemoryError instance can't be pre-allocated
- some other PyErr_Occurred
newstdexception(): Changed the error message. This is still a fatal
error because if the string based exceptions can't be created, we
really can't continue.
initerrors(): Be sure to xdecref the .exc field, which might be
non-NULL if class exceptions init was aborted.
_PyBuiltin_Init_2(): If class exception init fails, print a warning
message and reinstate the string based exceptions.
that file in fact did not exist or at least was not used. Change this
so that __file__ is *only* set to the .pyc/.pyo file when it actually
read the code object from it; otherwise __file__ is set to the .py
file.
happen when you use a non-keyword argument after a keyword argument,
and in this case you also get a syntax error. I fully suspect that
the underflow is caused by the code that stops generating code when it
detects the syntax error, but I can't find the culprit right now. I
know, I know.)
The MS compiler doesn't call it 'long long', it uses __int64,
so a new #define, LONG_LONG, has been added and all occurrences
of 'long long' are replaced with it.
This is a patch that Bill Bummgarner did for 1.4 that hasn't made its
way into the distribution yet. This is important if you want to use
the ObjC module.
frozen packages. (I *think* this means that we can now have a
built-in module bar that's a submodule of a frozen package foo, by
registering the built-in module with a name "foo.bar" in the table of
builtin modules.)
an exception from errno, with a supplied filename (primarily used by
IOError and OSError). If class exceptions are used then the exception
is instantiated with a 3-tuple: (errno, strerror, filename). For
backwards compatibility reasons, if string exceptions are used,
filename is ignored.
PyErr_SetFromErrno(): Implement in terms of
PyErr_SetFromErrnoWithFilename().
OSError. The EnvironmentError serves primarily as the (common
implementation) base class for IOError and OSError. OSError is used
by posixmodule.c
Also added tuple definition of EnvironmentError when using string
based exceptions.
(1) If a sequence S is shorter than len(S) indicated, don't fail --
just use the shorter size. (I.e, len(S) is just a hint.)
(2) Implement the special case map(None, S) as list(S) -- it's faster.
must be enabled here, otherwise the errno we set on overflows is not
the errno that's being read by compile.c. Wonder how many other files
that do their own "#include config.h" need this too :-(
(Because of the structure of autoconf, it's not so simple to get this
into config.h...)
