be possible to provoke unbounded recursion now, but leaving that to someone
else to provoke and repair.
Bugfix candidate -- although this is getting harder to backstitch, and the
cases it's protecting against are mondo contrived.
random inputs: if you ran the test 100 times, you could expect it to
report a bogus failure. So loosened its expectations.
Also changed the way failing tests are printed, so that when run under
regrtest.py we get enough info to reproduce the failure.
exactly once. But the test code can't know that, as the number of times
__cmp__ is called depends on internal details of the dict implementation.
This is especially nasty because the __hash__ method returns the address
of the class object, so the hash codes seen by the dict can vary across
runs, causing the dict to use a different probe order across runs. I
just happened to see this test fail about 1 run in 7 today, but only
under a release build and when passing -O to Python. So, changed the test
to be predictable across runs.
name of the test, only write the output file if it already exists (and
tell the user to consider removing it). This avoids the generation of
unnecessary turds.
updatecache(): When using imputil, sys.path may contain things other than
strings. Ignore such things instead of blowing up.
Hard to say whether this is a bugfix or a feature ...
dictresize() was too aggressive about never ever resizing small dicts.
If a small dict is entirely full, it needs to rebuild it despite that
it won't actually resize it, in order to purge old dummy entries thus
creating at least one virgin slot (lookdict assumes at least one such
exists).
Also took the opportunity to add some high-level comments to dictresize.
setdefault() the empty string. In setdefault(), use + to join the value
to create the entry for the headers attribute so that TypeError is raised
if the value is of the wrong type.
When regrtest.py finds an attribute "test_main" in a test it imports,
regrtest runs the test's test_main after the import. test_threaded_import
needs this else the cross-thread import lock prevents it from making
progress. Other tests can use this hack too, but I doubt it will ever be
popular.
ICK ALERT: read the long comment block before run_the_test(). It was
almost impossible to get this to run without instant deadlock, and the
solution here sucks on several counts. If you can dream up a better way,
let me know!
basically accept <!...> where the dots can be single- or double-quoted
strings or any other character except >.
Background: I found a real-life example that failed to parse with
the old assumption: http://www.opensource.org/licenses/jabberpl.html
contains a few constructs of the form <![if !supportLists]>...<![endif]>.
