We didn't notice these before because test_defaultdict didn't
actually do anything before Georg fixed that earlier today.
Neal's next refleak run then showed test_defaultdict leaking
9 references on each run. That's repaired by this checkin.
inspect.py, and pydoc.py. Specifically, this allows for querying the type of
an object against these built-in C types and more importantly, for getting
their docstrings printed in the interactive interpreter's help() function.
This patch includes a new built-in module called _types which provides
definitions of getset and member descriptors for use by the types.py module.
These types are exposed as types.GetSetDescriptorType and
types.MemberDescriptorType. Query functions are provided as
inspect.isgetsetdescriptor() and inspect.ismemberdescriptor(). The
implementations of these are robust enough to work with Python implementations
other than CPython, which may not have these fundamental types.
The patch also includes documentation and test suite updates.
I commit these changes now under these guiding principles:
1. Silence is assent. The release manager has not said "no", and of the few
people that cared enough to respond to the thread, the worst vote was "0".
2. It's easier to ask for forgiveness than permission.
3. It's so dang easy to revert stuff in svn, that you could view this as a
forcing function. :)
Windows build patches will follow.
it definitely could use some review to ensure I'm not off by one
and there's no possible overflow/wrap-around of bytes_left.

Fix a problem if there is a failure allocating self->db.
Found with failmalloc.
Also fix a few memory leaks in other failure scenarios.
It seems that if b_objects == Py_None, we will have an extra ref to
b_objects. Add XXX comment so hopefully someone documents why the
else isn't necessary or adds it in.
Reported by Klocwork #20
of values in the time tuple passed in. Unfortunately people came to rely on
undocumented behaviour of setting unneeded values to 0, regardless of if it was
within the valid range. Now those values force the value internally to the
minimum value when 0 is passed in.
Add a new function uses_seh() to the _ctypes extension module. This
will return True if Windows Structured Exception handling (SEH) is
used when calling functions, False otherwise.
of bugs in that port. The most annoying ones were due to some subtle differences
between the document ABI and the actual implementation :-(
(there are no python unittests that fail without this patch, but without it
some of libffi's unittests fail).
will return True if Windows Structured Exception handling (SEH) is
used when calling functions, False otherwise.
Currently, only MSVC supports SEH.
Fix the test so that it doesn't crash when run with MingW compiled
_ctypes. Note that two tests are still failing when mingw is used, I
suspect structure layout differences and function calling conventions
between MSVC and MingW.
It seems that the definition of '__attribute__(x)' was responsible for
the compiler ignoring the '__fastcall' attribute on the
ffi_closure_SYSV function in libffi_msvc/ffi.c, took me quite some
time to figure this out.
handler would cause a segfault. This merges in Expat's lib/xmlparse.c
revisions 1.154 and 1.155, which fix this and a closely related problem
(the later does not affect Python).
Moved the crasher test to the tests for xml.parsers.expat.
