Summary of changes:
- support for 'variable sized' data
- support for anonymous structure/union fields
- fix severe bug with certain arrays or structures containing more than 256 fields
clean up files and directories the tests often leave behind by
mistake. This is the first time in history I don't have a bogus
"db_home" directory after running the tests ;-)
Also worked on runtest's docstring, to say something about all the
arguments, and to document the non-obvious return values.
New functions runtest_inner() and cleanup_test_droppings() in
support of the above.
run immediately after test_file. At least 8 buildbot
boxes passed since the underlying problem got fixed,
and they all failed before the fix, so there's no point
to this anymore.
test clean up after itself appears to fix the test failures
when test_optparse follows test_file.
test_main(): Get rid of TESTFN no matter what. That's
also enough to fix the mystery failures. Doesn't hurt
to fix them twice :-)
Since test_file is implicated in mysterious test failures
when followed by test_optparse, if I had any brains I'd
look at the checkin that last changed test_file ;-)
the char buffer was requested. Now it actually returns the char buffer if
available or raises a TypeError if it isn't (as is raised for the other buffer
types if they are not present but requested).
Not a backport candidate since it does change semantics of the buffer object
(although it could be argued this is enough of a bug to bother backporting).
Give a consistent behavior for comparison and hashing of method objects
(both user- and built-in methods). Now compares the 'self' recursively.
The hash was already asking for the hash of 'self'.
aborts the db transaction safely when a modifier callback fails.
Fixes SF python patch/bug #1408584.
Also cleans up the bsddb.dbtables docstrings since thats the only
documentation that exists for that unadvertised module. (people
really should really just use sqlite3)
sys.exutable that isn't usuable on an #!-line. That results in generated
applets that don't actually work. Work around this problem by resetting
sys.executable.
* argvemulator.py didn't work on intel macs. This patch fixes this
(bug #1491468)
from ?iga Seilnacht (sorry about the name, but Firefox
on my box can't display the first character of the name --
the SF "Unix name" is zseil).
This appears to cure the oddball intermittent leaks across
runs when running test_exceptions under -R. I'm not sure
why, but I'm too sleepy to care ;-)
The thrust of the SF patch was to remove randomness in the
pickle protocol used. I changed the patch to use
range(pickle.HIGHEST_PROTOCOL + 1), to try both pickle and
cPickle, and randomly mucked with other test lines to put
statements on their own lines.
Not a bugfix candidate (this is fiddling new-in-2.5 code).
Found them using::
find . -name '*.py' | while read i ; do grep 'def[^(]*( ' $i /dev/null ; done
find . -name '*.py' | while read i ; do grep ' ):' $i /dev/null ; done
(I was doing this all over my own code anyway, because I'd been using spaces in
all defs, so I thought I'd make a run on the Python code as well. If you need
to do such fixes in your own code, you can use xx-rename or parenregu.el within
emacs.)
structmember typecode for Py_ssize_t fields. This should fix some of
the errors on the PPC64 debian machine (64-bit, big endian).
Assigning to readonly fields now raises AttributeError instead of
TypeError, so the testcase has to be changed as well.
string_reverse(): Simplify.
assertRaises(): Raise TestFailed on failure.
test_unpack_from(), test_pack_into(), test_pack_into_fn(): never
use `assert` to test for an expected result (it doesn't test anything
when Python is run with -O).
Move the long-winded, multiply-nested -R support out
of runtest() and into some module-level helper functions.
This makes runtest() and the -R code easier to follow.
That in turn allowed seeing some opportunities for code
simplification, and made it obvious that reglog.txt
never got closed.
in BerkeleyDB >= 4.2 it tried to construct a list out of an uninitialized
char **log_list.
feature: export the DB_ARCH_REMOVE flag by name in the module on BerkeleyDB >= 4.2.
46640 Patch #1454481: Make thread stack size runtime tunable.
46647 Markup fix
The first is causing many buildbots to fail test runs, and there
are multiple causes with seemingly no immediate prospects for
repairing them. See python-dev discussion.
Note that a branch can (and should) be created for resolving these
problems, like
svn copy svn+ssh://svn.python.org/python/trunk -r46640 svn+ssh://svn.python.org/python/branches/NEW_BRANCH
followed by merging rev 46647 to the new branch.
- Following Guido's comments, renamed
* pack_to -> pack_into
* recv_buf -> recv_into
* recvfrom_buf -> recvfrom_into
- Made fixes to _struct.c according to Neal Norwitz comments on the checkins
list.
- Converted some ints into the appropriate -- I hope -- ssize_t and size_t.
