Guido van Rossum ede8c6eea1 Bill Tutt:
Calling Sleep(0) for a spinlock can cause a priority inversion, adding
comments to explain what's going on.

Guido van Rossum cf3ba65749 At Bob Kahn's request, add CNRI to the copyright string (but not to
the notice yet).

Fred Drake 230cae7474 Trent Mick <trentm@activestate.com>:
Limit the 'b' formatter of PyArg_ParseTuple to valid values of an unsigned
char, i.e. [0,UCHAR_MAX]. It is expected that this is the common usage of 'b'.
An OverflowError is raised if the parsed value is outside this range.

Fred Drake 8b4d01d9f9 M.-A. Lemburg <mal@lemburg.com>:
Added APIs to allow setting and querying the system's
current string encoding: sys.set_string_encoding()
and sys.get_string_encoding().
2000-05-09 19:57:01 +00:00
Fred Drake 766de83ab1 M.-A. Lemburg <mal@lemburg.com>:
Moved some docs to the include file.

Added a NULL check to _PyCodec_Lookup() to make it
core dump safe.
2000-05-09 19:55:59 +00:00
Fred Drake c640b18d96 M.-A. Lemburg <mal@lemburg.com>:
Fixed docs according to the new behaviour (the Unicode
encoding is no longer fixed to UTF-8).

Guido van Rossum 20c6add7ff Trent Mick:
Change static slice_index() to extern _PyEval_SliceIndex() (with
different return value interpretation: 0 for failure, 1 for success).
2000-05-08 14:06:50 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 80dc16baaa Trent Mick:
Changes the 'b', 'h', and 'i' formatters in PyArg_ParseTuple to raise an
Overflow exception if they overflow (previously they just silently
overflowed).

Changes by Guido: always accept values [0..255] (in addition to
[CHAR_MIN..CHAR_MAX]) for 'b' format; changed some spaces into tabs in
other code.

Guido van Rossum 4cea605e75 Quick fix by Mark Hammond -- Yakov changed a dprintf call but it was
referencing an undefined variable, so we better change it back.

Guido van Rossum 706262bde0 Fast NonRecursiveMutex support by Yakov Markovitch, markovitch@iso.ru,
who wrote:

Here's the new version of thread_nt.h.  More particular, there is a
new version of thread lock that uses kernel object (e.g. semaphore)
only in case of contention; in other case it simply uses interlocked
functions, which are faster by the order of magnitude.  It doesn't
make much difference without threads present, but as soon as thread
machinery initialised and (mostly) the interpreter global lock is on,
difference becomes tremendous.  I've included a small script, which
initialises threads and launches pystone.  With original thread_nt.h,
Pystone results with initialised threads are twofold worse then w/o
threads.  With the new version, only 10% worse.  I have used this
patch for about 6 months (with threaded and non-threaded
applications).  It works remarkably well (though I'd desperately
prefer Python was free-threaded; I hope, it will soon).

Guido van Rossum cc229ea76f Add useless 'return 1' to prtrace() to shut up VC++. 2000-05-04 00:55:17 +00:00
Guido van Rossum b18618dab7 Vladimir Marangozov's long-awaited malloc restructuring.
For more comments, read the patches@python.org archives.
For documentation read the comments in mymalloc.h and objimpl.h.

(This is not exactly what Vladimir posted to the patches list; I've
made a few changes, and Vladimir sent me a fix in private email for a
problem that only occurs in debug mode.  I'm also holding back on his
change to main.c, which seems unnecessary to me.)
2000-05-03 23:44:39 +00:00
Guido van Rossum a7cfca23e1 A bit of cleanup:
- When 'import exceptions' fails, don't suggest to use -v to print the traceback;
  this doesn't actually work.
- Remove comment about fallback to string exceptions.
- Remove a PyErr_Occurred() check after all is said and done that can
  never trigger.
- Remove static function newstdexception() which is no longer called.

Fred Drake 25871c001f Brian Hooper <brian_takashi@hotmail.com>:
Added 'u' and 'u#' tags for PyArg_ParseTuple - these turn a
PyUnicodeObject argument into a Py_UNICODE * buffer, or a Py_UNICODE *
buffer plus a length with the '#'.  Also added an analog to 'U'
for Py_BuildValue.

Barry Warsaw fa5c315afa PyErr_GivenExceptionMatches(): Check for err==NULL and exc==NULL and
return 0 (exceptions don't match).  This means that if an ImportError
is raised because exceptions.py can't be imported, the interpreter
will exit "cleanly" with an error message instead of just core
dumping.

PyErr_SetFromErrnoWithFilename(), PyErr_SetFromWindowsErrWithFilename():
Don't test on Py_UseClassExceptionsFlag.
2000-05-02 19:27:51 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 48719d3d1f _PyBuiltin_Init_2(): Remove the misleading comment. 2000-05-02 19:24:39 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 47eeb9bdad initerrors(): Remove this function. String-based standard exceptions
are no longer supported (i.e. -X option is removed).

_PyBuiltin_Init_1(): Don't call initerrors().  This does mean that it
is possible to raise an ImportError before that exception has been
initialized, say because exceptions.py can't be found, or contains
bogosity.  See changes to errors.c for how this is handled.

_PyBuiltin_Init_2(): Don't test Py_UseClassExceptionsFlag, just go
ahead and initialize the class-based standard exceptions.  If this
fails, we throw a Py_FatalError.
2000-05-02 19:24:06 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 3ce096459e Py_UseClassExceptionsFlag is deprecated. We keep the C variable for C
API consistency, but nothing sets it or checks it now.

Barry Warsaw ee98e4e75d Ignore a bunch of generated files. 2000-05-02 18:34:30 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 96774c1347 Marc-Andre Lemburg:
Changed all references to the MAGIC constant to use a global
pyc_magic instead. This global is initially set to MAGIC, but can be
changed by the _PyImport_Init() function to provide for
special features implemented in the compiler which are settable
using command line switches and affect the way PYC files are
generated.

Currently this change is only done for the -U flag.
2000-05-01 20:19:08 +00:00
Guido van Rossum b16d197d66 Marc-Andre Lemburg:
Added Py_UnicodeFlag for use by the -U command line option.
2000-05-01 17:55:15 +00:00
Guido van Rossum fdc8bdb67b Marc-Andre Lemburg:
Support for the new -U command line option option:
with the option enabled the Python compiler
interprets all "..." strings as u"..." (same with r"..." and
ur"...").

Guido van Rossum 22b65a8edc Robin Becker: The following patch seems to fix a module case bug in
1.6a2 caused by wrong return values in routine allcaps83.  [GvR: I
also changed the case for end-s>8 to return 0.]
2000-05-01 17:36:58 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 1cb6cd0ec5 As Marc-Andre Lemburg points out, the magic number needs to change
because we've added Unicode marshalling to the repertoire.

Guido van Rossum a2ace6ae25 Charles G Waldman:
Follow a suggestion in an /*XXX*/ comment [in com_add()] to speed up
compilation by using supplemental dictionaries to keep track of names
and constants, eliminating quadratic behavior.  With this patch in
place, the time to import a 5000-line file with lots of constants [at
the global level] is reduced from 20 seconds to under 3 on my system.

Fred Drake 25d34473c3 Brian Hooper <brian_takashi@hotmail.com>:
Here's a patch which changes modsupport to add 'u' and 'u#',
to support building Unicode objects from a null-terminated
Py_UNICODE *, and a Py_UNICODE * with length, respectively.

[Conversion from 'U' to 'u' by Fred, based on python-dev comments.]

Note that the use of None for NULL values of the Py_UNICODE* value is
still in; I'm not sure of the conclusion on that issue.

Guido van Rossum eca4784781 Mark Hammond: For Windows debug builds, we now only offer to dump
remaining object references if the environment variable PYTHONDUMPREFS
exists.  The default behaviour caused problems for background or
otherwise invisible processes that use the debug build of Python.
2000-04-27 23:44:15 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 700c6ff1fb Marc-Andre Lemburg:
Fixed a memory leak found by Fredrik Lundh.  Instead of
PyUnicode_AsUTF8String() we now use _PyUnicode_AsUTF8String() which
returns the string object without incremented refcount (and assures
that the so obtained object remains alive until the Unicode object is
garbage collected).

Guido van Rossum b33aa1a51e Jack Jansen: The new version of the GUSI i/o library on the Macintosh
has a few slightly different calls from the old one.

Guido van Rossum 095249fc8c Jack Jansen: Posix threads are now supported on the Macintosh too. 2000-04-24 15:06:51 +00:00

"""
Running "test_extcall" repeatedly results in memory leaks.

One of these can't be fixed (at least not easily!), it happens since
this code:

def saboteur(**kw):
    kw['x'] = locals()
d = {}
saboteur(a=1, **d)

creates a circular reference - d['x']['d']==d

The others are due to some missing decrefs in ceval.c, fixed by the
patch attached below.

Note:  I originally wrote this without the "goto", just adding the
missing decref's where needed.  But I think the goto is justified in
keeping the executable code size of ceval as small as possible.

[I think the circular reference is more like kw['x']['kw'] == kw. --GvR]

Fred Drake 6d27c1eb32 Simplify creation of the version_info value for clarity, per
suggestion from Greg Stein.
2000-04-13 20:03:20 +00:00
Fred Drake 93a20bf87c Capitulate, changing version_info to a 5-tuple:
major, minor, micro, level, serial

Values are now monotonically increasing with each new release.
2000-04-13 17:44:51 +00:00
Fred Drake 801c08d700 Define version_info to be a tuple (major, minor, micro, level); level
is a string "a2", "b1", "c1", or '' for a final release.

Added version_info and hexversion to the module docstring.

Fred Drake 078b24f000 When refering to Unicode characters in exception messages and

Jeremy Hylton 394b54d01a ord: provide better error messages 2000-04-12 21:19:47 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 3afba7644b Marc-Andre Lemburg:
Added special case to unicode(): when being passed a
Unicode object as first argument, return the object as-is.
Raises an exception when given a Unicode object *and* an
encoding name.

Guido van Rossum 44679590e0 Patch by Vladimir Marangozov to include the function name when
comparing code objects.  This give sless surprising results in
-Optimized code.  It also sorts code objects by name, now.

Guido van Rossum a396a883af Vladimir Marangozov: This fixes the line number in the string
representation of code objects when optimization is on (python -O). It
was always reported as -1 instead of the real lineno.

Guido van Rossum 9e896b37c7 Marc-Andre's third try at this bulk patch seems to work (except that
his copy of test_contains.py seems to be broken -- the lines he
deleted were already absent).  Checkin messages:


New Unicode support for int(), float(), complex() and long().

- new APIs PyInt_FromUnicode() and PyLong_FromUnicode()
- added support for Unicode to PyFloat_FromString()
- new encoding API PyUnicode_EncodeDecimal() which converts
  Unicode to a decimal char* string (used in the above new
  APIs)
- shortcuts for calls like int(<int object>) and float(<float obj>)
- tests for all of the above

Unicode compares and contains checks:
- comparing Unicode and non-string types now works; TypeErrors
  are masked, all other errors such as ValueError during
  Unicode coercion are passed through (note that PyUnicode_Compare
  does not implement the masking -- PyObject_Compare does this)
- contains now works for non-string types too; TypeErrors are
  masked and 0 returned; all other errors are passed through

Better testing support for the standard codecs.

Misc minor enhancements, such as an alias dbcs for the mbcs codec.

Changes:
- PyLong_FromString() now applies the same error checks as
  does PyInt_FromString(): trailing garbage is reported
  as error and not longer silently ignored. The only characters
  which may be trailing the digits are 'L' and 'l' -- these
  are still silently ignored.
- string.ato?() now directly interface to int(), long() and
  float(). The error strings are now a little different, but
  the type still remains the same. These functions are now
  ready to get declared obsolete ;-)
- PyNumber_Int() now also does a check for embedded NULL chars
  in the input string; PyNumber_Long() already did this (and
  still does)

Followed by:

Looks like I've gone a step too far there... (and test_contains.py
seem to have a bug too).

I've changed back to reporting all errors in PyUnicode_Contains()
and added a few more test cases to test_contains.py (plus corrected
the join() NameError).
2000-04-05 20:11:21 +00:00
Guido van Rossum b95de4f847 Marc-Andre Lemburg: Error reporting in the codec registry and lookup
