Fixes for three related bugs, including errors that caused a script to
be ignored without printing an error message. The key problem was a bad
interaction between syntax warnings and syntax errors. If an
exception was already set when a warning was issued, the warning could
clobber the exception.
The PyErr_Occurred() check in issue_warning() isn't entirely
satisfying (the caller should know whether there was already an
error), but a better solution isn't immediately obvious.
Bug fix candidate.
- separate the building of the core from the wrapper executables and the
external modules (.PYDs), based on the Py_BUILD_CORE define;
- clean up the generated import library definiton (.DEF file) to remove
references to a number of non-static symbols that aren't part of the
Python API and which shouldn't be exported by the core DLL;
- compile the release build with -fomit-frame-pointer, for a small
performance gain;
- make "make clean" remove byte compiled Python library files.
* It ran fine under "python regrtest.py test_warnings" but failed under
"python regrtest.py" presumably because other tests would add to
filtered warnings and not reset them at the end of the test.
* Converted to a unittest format for better control. Renamed
monkey() and unmonkey() to setUp() and tearDown().
* Increased coverage by testing all warnings in __builtin__.
* Increased coverage by testing regex matching of specific messages.
reported consistently with the *nix world. 'Lib/test/test_warnings.py'
came out as 'lib\test\test_warnings.py'. The basename is all we care
about so I used that.
Related to SF patch 723231 (which pointed out the problem, but didn't
fix it, just shut up the warning msg -- which was pointing out a dead-
serious bug!).
Bugfix candidate.
databases are associated with corruption problems, so I studied this code
carefully and ran some brutal stress tests. I didn't find any bugs,
although it's unclear whether this code *intends* that __setitem__ can
leave the directory file out of synch with the data file (so
if a dumbdbm isn't properly closed, and the value of an existing key
was ever replaced, corruption is almost certain, where "corruption"
means the directory file is out of synch with the data file).
Added many comments and generally modernized the code. Examples of the
latter: we have better ways of reading a whole file line-by-line now;
eval() now tolerates a trailing newline; the %r format code can be used
to avoid explicit repr/backtick calls; and the code often broke tuples
into their components when it was clearer and faster to just leave them
as tuples.
