Thomas Wouters a96affe1fc - Reindent a confusingly indented piece of code (no intended code changes
there)
 - Add missing DECREFs of inner-scope 'temp' variable
 - Add various missing DECREFs by changing 'return NULL' into 'goto onError'
 - Avoid double DECREF when last _PyUnicode_Resize() fails

Coverity found one of the missing DECREFs, but oddly enough not the others.

Tim Peters 15231548d2 doubletounicode(), longtounicode():
Py_SAFE_DOWNCAST can evaluate its first argument multiple

failures in test_unicode run under a debug build.  Rewrote
the code in trivial ways so that multiple evaluation of the
first argument doesn't hurt.

Neal Norwitz fc76d633e8 - Patch #1400181, fix unicode string formatting to not use the locale.
This is how string objects work.  u'%f' could use , instead of .
  for the decimal point.  Now both strings and unicode always use periods.

This is the code that would break:

import locale
locale.setlocale(locale.LC_NUMERIC, 'de_DE')
u'%.1f' % 1.0
assert '1.0' == u'%.1f' % 1.0

I couldn't create a test case which fails, but this fixes the problem.

Will backport.

Hye-Shik Chang 835b243c71 Bug #1379994: Fix *unicode_escape codecs to encode r'\' as r'\\'
just like string codecs.
2005-12-17 04:38:31 +00:00
Jeremy Hylton af68c874a6 Add const to several API functions that take char *.
In C++, it's an error to pass a string literal to a char* function
without a const_cast().  Rather than require every C++ extension
module to put a cast around string literals, fix the API to state the
const-ness.

I focused on parts of the API where people usually pass literals:
PyArg_ParseTuple() and friends, Py_BuildValue(), PyMethodDef, the type
slots, etc.  Predictably, there were a large set of functions that
needed to be fixed as a result of these changes.  The most pervasive
change was to make the keyword args list passed to
PyArg_ParseTupleAndKewords() to be a const char *kwlist[].

One cast was required as a result of the changes:  A type object
mallocs the memory for its tp_doc slot and later frees it.
PyTypeObject says that tp_doc is const char *; but if the type was
created by type_new(), we know it is safe to cast to char *.

Walter Dörwald 69652035bc SF patch #998993: The UTF-8 and the UTF-16 stateful decoders now support
decoding incomplete input (when the input stream is temporarily exhausted).
codecs.StreamReader now implements buffering, which enables proper
readline support for the UTF-16 decoders. codecs.StreamReader.read()
has a new argument chars which specifies the number of characters to
return. codecs.StreamReader.readline() and codecs.StreamReader.readlines()
have a new argument keepends. Trailing "\n"s will be stripped from the lines
if keepends is false. Added C APIs PyUnicode_DecodeUTF8Stateful and
PyUnicode_DecodeUTF16Stateful.

Tim Peters 91879ab8ea PyUnicode_Join(): Bozo Alert. While this is chugging along, it may
need to convert str objects from the iterable to unicode.  So, if
someone set the system default encoding to something nasty enough,
the conversion process could mutate the input iterable as a side
effect, and PySequence_Fast doesn't hide that from us if the input was
a list.  IOW, can't assume the size of PySequence_Fast's result is
invariant across PyUnicode_FromObject() calls.
2004-08-27 22:35:44 +00:00
Tim Peters 05eba1fdc8 PyUnicode_Join(): Rewrote to use PySequence_Fast(). This doesn't do
much to reduce the size of the code, but greatly improves its clarity.
It's also quicker in what's probably the most common case (the argument
iterable is a list).  Against it, if the iterable isn't a list or a tuple,
a temp tuple is materialized containing the entire input sequence, and
that's a bigger temp memory burden.  Yawn.
2004-08-27 21:32:02 +00:00
Tim Peters 894c512c2f PyUnicode_Join(): Missed a spot where I intended a cast from size_t to
int.  I sure wish MS would gripe about that!  Whatever, note that the
statement above it guarantees that the cast loses no info.
2004-08-27 05:08:36 +00:00
Tim Peters 8ce9f16259 PyUnicode_Join(): Two primary aims:
1. u1.join([u2]) is u2
2. Be more careful about C-level int overflow.

Since PySequence_Fast() isn't needed to achieve #1, it's not used -- but
the code could sure be simpler if it were.

Guido van Rossum 6c9e130524 - Removed FutureWarnings related to hex/oct literals and conversions
and left shifts.  (Thanks to Kalle Svensson for SF patch 849227.)
  This addresses most of the remaining semantic changes promised by
  PEP 237, except for repr() of a long, which still shows the trailing
  'L'.  The PEP appears to promise warnings for operations that
  changed semantics compared to Python 2.3, but this is not
  implemented; we've suffered through enough warnings related to
  hex/oct literals and I think it's best to be silent now.

Jeremy Hylton d808279be3 Double-fix of crash in Unicode freelist handling.
If a length-1 Unicode string was in the freelist and it was
uninitialized or pointed to a very large (magnitude) negative number,
the check

	 unicode_latin1[unicode->str[0]] == unicode

could cause a segmentation violation, e.g. unicode->str[0] is 0xcbcbcbcb.

Fix this in two ways:

1. Change guard befor unicode_latin1[] to test against 256U.  If I
   understand correctly, the unsigned long used to store UCS4 on my
   box was getting converted to a signed long to compare with the
   signed constant 256.

2. Change _PyUnicode_New() to make sure the first element of str is
   always initialized to zero.  There are several places in the code
   where the caller can exit with an error before initializing any
   of str, which would leave junk in str[0].

Also, silence a compiler warning on pointer vs. int arithmetic.

Bug fix candidate.

Jeremy Hylton deb2dc6658 Change checks of PyUnicode_Resize() return value for clarity.
The unicode_resize() family only returns -1 or 0 so simply checking

success.  Change the call sites for consistency with these calls.

Walter Dörwald e5402fb340 Fix refcount leak in PyUnicode_EncodeCharmap(). The bug surfaces
when an encoding error occurs and the callback name is unknown,

the fact that the callback has already been looked up was only
recorded in a local variable in charmap_encoding_error(), because
charmap_encoding_error() got it's own copy of the errorHandler
pointer instead of a pointer to the pointer in
PyUnicode_EncodeCharmap().

Guido van Rossum 049cd6b563 Fix a nasty endcase reported by Armin Rigo in SF bug 618623:
'%2147483647d' % -123 segfaults.  This was because an integer overflow
in a comparison caused the string resize to be skipped.  After fixing
the overflow, this could call _PyString_Resize() with a negative size,
so I (1) test for that and raise MemoryError instead; (2) also added a
test for negative newsize to _PyString_Resize(), raising SystemError
as for all bad arguments.

replacements.  The example given in the SF bug report was only one way
to trigger this; replacing a string of length >= 2 that's not found is
another.  The code would actually write outside allocated memory if
replacement string was longer than the search string.

(I wonder how many more of these are lurking?  The unicode code base
is full of wonders.)

Bugfix candidate; this same bug is present in 2.2.1.

Guido van Rossum 8b1a6d694f Code by Inyeol Lee, submitted to SF bug 595350, to implement
the string/unicode method .replace() with a zero-lengt first argument.
Inyeol contributed tests for this too.

Guido van Rossum 76afbd9aa4 Fix some endcase bugs in unicode rfind()/rindex() and endswith().
These were reported and fixed by Inyeol Lee in SF bug 595350.  The
endswith() bug was already fixed in 2.3, but this adds some more test
cases.

Guido van Rossum 54df53a352 More changes of DeprecationWarning to FutureWarning. 2002-08-14 18:38:27 +00:00
Marc-André Lemburg cc8764ca9d Add C API PyUnicode_FromOrdinal() which exposes unichr() at C level.
u'%c' will now raise a ValueError in case the argument is an
integer outside the valid range of Unicode code point ordinals.

Closes SF bug #593581.

Guido van Rossum 078151da90 Implement stage B0 of PEP 237: add warnings for operations that
currently return inconsistent results for ints and longs; in
particular: hex/oct/%u/%o/%x/%X of negative short ints, and x<<n that
either loses bits or changes sign.  (No warnings for repr() of a long,
though that will also change to lose the trailing 'L' eventually.)

This introduces some warnings in the test suite; I'll take care of
those later.

Barry Warsaw 6a043f3fe8 PyUnicode_Contains(): The memcmp() call didn't take into account the
width of Py_UNICODE.  Good catch, MAL.

Jeremy Hylton 938ace69a0 staticforward bites the dust.
The staticforward define was needed to support certain broken C
compilers (notably SCO ODT 3.0, perhaps early AIX as well) botched the
static keyword when it was used with a forward declaration of a static
initialized structure.  Standard C allows the forward declaration with
static, and we've decided to stop catering to broken C compilers.  (In
fact, we expect that the compilers are all fixed eight years later.)

I'm leaving staticforward and statichere defined in object.h as
static.  This is only for backwards compatibility with C extensions
that might still use it.

XXX I haven't updated the documentation.
