_some_ user-defined class instance. That it was also an exception isn't
interesting, but does interfere with Michael Hudson's new-style exception
patch. This just changes the doctest example, to use an instance of a
non-exception class.
popped a MARK, but without stack emulation the disassembler couldn't
know that, and subsequent indentation got hosed.
Now the disassembler does do enough stack emulation to catch this. While
I was at it, also added lots of sanity checks for other stack operations,
and correct use of the memo. This goes (I think) a long way toward being
a "pickle verifier" now too.
of the opcode character instead (but stripping the quotes).
Added a proto 2 test section for the canonical recursive-tuple case.
Note that since pickle's save_tuple() takes different paths depending on
tuple length now, beefier tests are really needed (but not in pickletools);
the "short tuple" case tried here was actually broken yesterday, and it's
subtle stuff so needs to be tested.
then the embedded argument consumes at least 256 bytes. The difference
between a 3-byte prefix (LONG2 + 2 bytes) and a 5-byte prefix (LONG4 +
4 bytes) is at worst less than 1%. Note that binary strings and binary
Unicode strings also have only "size is 1 byte, or size is 4 bytes?"
flavors, and I expect for the same reason. The only place a 2-byte
thingie was used was in BININT2, where the 2 bytes make up the *entire*
embedded argument (and now EXT2 also does this); that's a large savings
over 4 bytes, because the total opcode+argument size is so small in
the BININT2/EXT2 case.
Removed the TAKEN_FROM_ARGUMENT "number of bytes" code, and bifurcated it
into TAKEN_FROM_ARGUMENT1 and TAKEN_FROM_ARGUMENT4. Now there's enough
info in ArgumentDescriptor objects to deduce the # of bytes consumed by
each opcode.
Rearranged the order in which proto2 opcodes are listed in pickle.py.
component strings by a blank instead of a period. Guido pointed
out that the component strings (at least the first one) can be
dotted already. find_class() is overridable too, so only God knows
all the possibilities that make sense to someone.
