Reorganize so the initialization sequences does not bite us in the foot.
(There is no good reason to discard classes that clients may want to
subclass.)
Do more to ensure we don't do any more formatting than we need to.
Use separate targets for the distribution packages for paper-based and
non-paper-based formats; this avoids some extra packaging when a complete
distribution is being built with both paper sizes.
The ob_sval member of a string object isn't necessarily aligned to better
than a native long, so the new "q" and "Q" struct codes can't get away w/
casting tricks on platforms where LONG_LONG requires stricter-than-long
alignment. After I thought of a few elaborate workarounds, Guido bashed
me over the head with the obvious memcpy approach, herewith implemented.
Minor local consistency adjustments.
A couple of small tweaks to the setdlopenflags() description.
For setprofile() and settrace(), convert some references to become
hyperlinks in the HTML version.
Make the syntax of compound command lines more portable (nmake, CygWin).
These changes are an adaptation of SF patch #429611.
Use the new tools/rewrite.py instead of grep/date/sed to transform
html/index.html.in into html/index.html; this is required for portability.
This is really stupid because it cannot be suppressed or altered using
the warning framework; that's because the warning framework is built
on Python interpreter internals, and the parser generator doesn't have
access to any of those (you cannot use anything of type PyObject * in
the parser).
But it's better than nothing, and implementing a proper check for this
appears to require modifying compile.c in a dozen places, for which I
don't have the stamina today. I promise we'll do better in 2.2a2.
At least it tells you the filename and line number (unlike the first
hack I considered :-).
This is probably not sufficient by itself for the info generation, and is
being done mostly to keep the style consistent with additional patches
that will be applied to Doc/Makefile.
replacement for @DATE@ from a TeX file containing a \date{...} mark
(such as texinputs/boilerplate.tex).
This will be used to re-write the html/index.html.in file instead of
a combination of grep, date, and sed -- this is more portable to non-Unix
platforms.
This solves part of the problem reported in SF patch #429611, but does
not use the suggested patch.
