Tim Peters eda29306b3 Formalize that the Py_VISIT macro requires that the tp_traverse
implementation it's used in must give its arguments specific names.
2004-07-15 04:05:59 +00:00
Jim Fulton aa6389e13b Documented the new Py_VISIT macro to simplify implementation of
tp_traverse handlers. (Tim made me do it. ;)

Jim Fulton 8c5aeaa277 Implemented a new Py_CLEAR macro. This macro should be used when
decrementing the refcount of variables that might be accessed as a
result of calling Python

Tim Peters e45d5a3b00 Claifications: visit procs are supplied by the core, users aren't
expected to write their own.  A NULL "object" must not be passed to
the visit callback.  A non-zero return from a visit proc isn't
necessarily an error return (and it doesn't matter to the tp_traverse
code *what* it might signify, their only job is to return it).

Tim Peters 183dabcd73 SF patch 986010: add missing doc for datetime C API, from
Anthony Tuininga.

This is a derived patch, taking the opportunity to add some organization
to the now-large pile of datetime-related macros, and to factor out
tedious repeated text.

Also improved some clumsy wording in NEWS.

Andrew M. Kuchling ee5e4cd899 [Bug #984017] Incorrect prototype, fixed by Timothy Stranex 2004-07-07 13:07:47 +00:00
Brett Cannon d88471f432 Change signatures for arguments to "s" and friends to be the proper ``const
char *`` instead of just ``char *``.  Also added the mentioning of "const" in
some places where it was left out even when the signature already stated the
fact.

Closes bug #980925.

Andrew M. Kuchling 6d3a0d2dff [Bug #948970] Add PyExc_* symbols to index.
(I ran this through texcheck, but don't have LaTeX installed on this machine and therefore haven't
verified that the changes are accepted by LaTeX.)

Martin v. Löwis ef82d2fdfe Patch #923098: Share interned strings in marshal. 2004-06-27 16:51:46 +00:00
Tim Peters 9ddf40b4e1 SF patch 876130: add C API to datetime module, from Anthony Tuininga.
The LaTeX is untested (well, so is the new API, for that matter).
Note that I also changed NULL to get spelled consistently in concrete.tex.
If that was a wrong thing to do, Fred should yell at me.

Hye-Shik Chang 974ed7cfa5 - SF #962502: Add two more methods for unicode type; width() and
iswide() for east asian width manipulation. (Inspired by David
Goodger, Reviewed by Martin v. Loewis)
- Move _PyUnicode_TypeRecord.flags to the end of the struct so that
no padding is added for UCS-4 builds. (Suggested by Martin v. Loewis)

Nicholas Bastin e9c2ecfb96 Removed 'U' from the documentation for Py_BuildValue to bring it in line
with the elimination of 'U' in modsupport.c on 2000/04/28 (replaced
with 'u' and 'u#' per fdrake's comments).

Raymond Hettinger c1e4f9dd92 Use a new macro, PySequence_Fast_ITEMS to factor out code common to
three recent optimizations.  Aside from reducing code volume, it

Andrew MacIntyre f72af655c5 At 2.2, the Py<type>_Check() family of API functions (macros) changed
semantics to include subtypes.  Most concrete object APIs then had
a Py<type>_CheckExact() macro added to test for an object's type
not including subtypes.

The PyDict_CheckExact() macro wasn't created at that time, so I've added
it for API completeness/symmetry - even though nobody has complained
about its absence in the time since 2.2 was released.

Not a backport candidate.

Andrew MacIntyre 13cd8898d2 The semantics of PyList_Check() and PyDict_Check() changed at 2.2, along
with most other concrete object checks, but the docs weren't brought into
line.

PyList_CheckExact() was added at 2.2 but never documented.

backport candidate.

Raymond Hettinger bc0f2ab9bb Expose dict_contains() and PyDict_Contains() with is about 10% faster
than PySequence_Contains() and more clearly applicable to dicts.

Apply the new function in setobject.c where __contains__ checking is
ubiquitous.
