Guido van Rossum 014518f66c Whoops! One the "redundant" initializations removed by Vladimir in

Guido van Rossum 9e46e56264 BSDI specific patches, inspired by Nigel Head and otto@mail.olympus.net.
Also (non-BSDI specific):

- Change the CHECK_STATUS() macro so it tests for nonzero error codes
instead of negative error codes only (this was needed for BSDI, but
appears to be correct according to the PTHREADS spec).

- use memset() to zero out the allocated lock structure.  Again, this
was needed for BSDI, but can't hurt elsewhere either.

Barry Warsaw 98b6246c0c Several changes that Python carry on in the face of errors in the
initialization of class exceptions.  Specifically:

init_class_exc(): This function now returns an integer status of the
class exception initialization.  No fatal errors in this method now.
Also, use PySys_WriteStderr() when writing error messages.  When an
error occurs in this function, 0 is returned, but the partial creation
of the exception classes is not undone (this happens elsewhere).

Things that could trigger the fallback:

    - exceptions.py fails to be imported (due to syntax error, etc.)

    - one of the exception classes is missing (e.g. due to library
      version mismatch)

    - exception class can't be inserted into __builtin__'s dictionary

    - MemoryError instance can't be pre-allocated

    - some other PyErr_Occurred

newstdexception(): Changed the error message.  This is still a fatal
error because if the string based exceptions can't be created, we
really can't continue.

initerrors(): Be sure to xdecref the .exc field, which might be
non-NULL if class exceptions init was aborted.

_PyBuiltin_Init_2(): If class exception init fails, print a warning
message and reinstate the string based exceptions.

happen when you use a non-keyword argument after a keyword argument,

the underflow is caused by the code that stops generating code when it
detects the syntax error, but I can't find the culprit right now.  I
know, I know.)

Date:    Thu, 14 Sep 1995 12:18:20 -0400
From:    Alan Morse <alan@dvcorp.com>
To:      python-list@cwi.nl
Subject: getargs bug in 1.2 and 1.3 BETA

We have found a bug in the part of the getargs code that we added
and submitted, and which was incorporated into 1.1.

The parsing of "O?" format specifiers is not handled correctly;
there is no "else" for the "if" and therefore it can never fail.
What's worse, the advancing of the varargs pointer is not
handled properly, so from then on it is out of sync, wreaking
all sorts of havoc. (If it had failed properly, then the out-of-sync
varargs would not have been an issue.)

Below is the context diff for the change.

Note that I have made a few stylistic changes beyond adding the
else case, namely:

1) Making the "O" case follow the convention established by the other
format specifiers of getting all their vararg arguments before
performing the test, rather than getting some before and some after
the test passes.

2) Making the logic of the tests parallel, so the "if" part indicates
that the format is accepted and the "else" part indicates that the
format has failed. They were inconsistent with each other and with the
the other format specifiers.

Guido van Rossum a890e68807 New APIs to write to sys.stdout or sys.stderr using a printf-like interface.
Adapted from code submitted by Just van Rossum.

   PySys_WriteStdout(format, ...)
   PySys_WriteStderr(format, ...)

      The first function writes to sys.stdout; the second to sys.stderr.  When
      there is a problem, they write to the real (C level) stdout or stderr;
      no exceptions are raised (but a pending exception may be cleared when a
      new exception is caught).

      Both take a printf-style format string as their first argument followed
      by a variable length argument list determined by the format string.

      *** WARNING ***

      The format should limit the total size of the formatted output string to
      1000 bytes.  In particular, this means that no unrestricted "%s" formats
      should occur; these should be limited using "%.<N>s where <N> is a
      decimal number calculated so that <N> plus the maximum size of other
      formatted text does not exceed 1000 bytes.  Also watch out for "%f",
      which can print hundreds of digits for very large numbers.

Guido van Rossum 8f74571596 Use a faster way to check for null bytes in the string argument for
int(), long(), float().
1998-03-13 21:30:14 +00:00
Guido van Rossum a5568d349b Support for frozen packages, matching the revamped Tools/freeze.
Frozen packages are indicated by a negative size (the code string
is the __import__.py file).  A frozen package module has its __path__
set to a string, the package name.
1998-03-05 03:45:08 +00:00
Guido van Rossum d65911b3f3 Oops -- overuse of dabbrev-expand introduced a strange bug, where
instead of 'locals' I was passing 'lock_import' to import_module_ex().
1998-03-03 22:33:27 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 75acc9ca1c Add a single Python-wide (!) lock on import. Only one thread at a
time can be in PyImport_ImportModuleEx().  Recursive calls from the
same thread are okay.

Potential problems:

- The lock should really be part of the interpreter state rather than
global, but that would require modifying more files, and I first want
to figure out whether this works at all.

- One could argue that the lock should be per module -- however that
would be complicated to implement.  We would have to have a linked
list of locks per module name, *or* invent a new object type to
represent a lock, so we can store the locks in the module or in a
separate dictionary.  Both seem unwarranted.  The one situation where
this can cause problems is when loading a module takes a long time,
e.g. when the module's initialization code interacts with the user --
during that time, no other threads can run.  I say, "too bad."
1998-03-03 22:26:50 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 0829c754bb Fix the handling of errors in Py_FlushLine() in a few places.
(Basically, the error is cleared...  Like almost everywhere else...)
1998-02-28 04:31:39 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 05f9dce34f Moved clear_carefully() to _PyModule_Clear() in moduleobject.c
(modified) and use that.

Some differences in the cleanup algorithm:

- Clear __main__ before the other modules.

- Delete more sys variables: including ps1, ps2, exitfunc, argv, and
even path -- this will prevent new imports!

- Restore stdin, stdout, stderr from __stdin__, __stdout__,
__stderr__, effectively deleting hooks that the user might have
installed -- so their (the hooks') destructors will run.
1998-02-19 20:58:44 +00:00
Guido van Rossum bd36dbaaa5 Make backup copies of stdin, stdout, stderr as __stdin__, __stdout__,
__stderr__.  These will be used by the import cleanup.
1998-02-19 20:53:06 +00:00
Guido van Rossum aeca79b0f6 Small patches to the DJGPP version of check_case(). 1998-02-18 16:21:00 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 4d1b3b921d Added DJGPP version of check_case(), by Pit Scrorpion (Hans Nowak).
(BTW, the Mac version was by Jack Jansen.)
1998-02-13 23:27:59 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 0980bd9233 Add case checking feature on import.
This is an option for OS-es with case-insensitive but case-preserving
filesystems.  It is currently supported for Win32 and MacOS.  To
enable it, #define CHECK_IMPORT_CASE in your platform specific
config.h.  It is enabled by default on those systems where it is
supported.  On Win32, it can be disabled at runtime by setting the
environment variable PYTHONCASEOK (to any value).

When enabled, the feature checks that the case of the requested module
name matches that of the filename found in the filesystem, and raises
a NameError exception when they don't match.
1998-02-13 17:18:36 +00:00
Guido van Rossum e32bf6ead2 Added PyImport_ExecCodeModuleEx(), which adds an extra parameter to
pass it the true file.  This is used to set __file__ properly, instead
of believing what the code object carries with it.  (If the pointer
is NULL, the code object's co_filename is still used.)
1998-02-11 05:53:02 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 919b83d522 Set Py_FrozenFlag, to suppress error messages from getpath.c. 1998-02-06 22:30:29 +00:00
Guido van Rossum a61691e4e9 Ehm, three unrelated changes.
- Add Py_FrozenFlag, intended to suppress error messages fron
getpath.c in frozen binaries.

- Add Py_GetPythonHome() and Py_SetPythonHome(), intended to allow
embedders to force a different PYTHONHOME.

- Add new interface PyErr_PrintEx(flag); same as PyErr_Print() but
flag determines whether sys.last_* are set or not.  PyErr_Print()
now simply calls PyErr_PrintEx(1).
1998-02-06 22:27:24 +00:00
Guido van Rossum a0fec2b5df Two more refinements of the cleanup process.
(1) Explicitly clear __builtin__._ and sys.{last,exc}_* before
clearing anything else.  These are common places where user values
hide and people complain when their destructors fail.  Since the
modules containing them are deleted *last* of all, they would come too
late in the normal destruction order.  Sigh.

(2) Add some debugging aid to cleanup (after a suggestion by Marc
Lemburg) -- print the names of the modules being cleaned, and (when
-vv is used) print the names of the variables being cleared.

Guido van Rossum 15af20a337 Better #ifdefs for NetBSD, taking into account that at least on netBSD
1.3, dlopen() etc. are fully implemented, including dlerror().

1998-01-19 22:03:52 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 4cc462e85b It seems obvious that when Py_Finalize() decides that there's nothing
to do, it should not call sys.exitfunc either...
1998-01-19 22:00:38 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 758eec0172 Rewritten PyImport_Cleanup() and its helper, clear_carefully(). They
now implement the following finalization strategy.

1. Whenever this code deletes a module, its directory is cleared
   carefully, as follows:
   - set all names to None that begin with exactly one underscore
   - set all names to None that don't begin with two underscores
   - clear the directory

2. Modules are deleted in the following order:
   - modules with a reference count of 1, except __builtin__ or __sys__
   - repeat until no more are found with a reference count of 1
   - __main__ if it's still there
   - all remaining modules except __builtin__ or sys
   - sys
   _ __builtin__

Guido van Rossum 19b55f2d17 Fix subtle bug in cleanup code in PyErr_NormalizeException(), detected

1997-12-09 14:11:39 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 1707aad27c Changed the finalization order again so that the reference count

Guido van Rossum 2e58ff3ef5 Fix importing of shared libraries from inside packages.
This is a bit of a hack: when the shared library is loaded, the module
name is "package.module", but the module calls Py_InitModule*() with just
"module" for the name.  The shared library loader squirrels away the true
name of the module in _Py_PackageContext, and Py_InitModule*() will
substitute this (if the name actually matches).
1997-11-19 18:53:33 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 858cb73bb2 Two changes (here we go again :-( ).
1) The __builtins__ variable in the __main__ module is set to the
__builtin__ module instead of its __dict__.

2) Get rid of the SIGHUP and SIGTERM handlers.  They can't be made to
work reliably when threads may be in use, they are Unix specific, and
Python programmers can now program this functionality is a safer way
using the signal module.

1997-11-11 16:29:38 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 4a1f39a26b Undo half of the previous change :-(
Setting interp->builtins to the __builtin__ module instead of to its
dictionary had the unfortunate side effect of always running in
restricted execution mode :-(

I will check in a different way of setting __main__.__builtins__ to
the __builtin__ module later.

Also, there was a typo -- a comment was unfinished, and as a result
some finalizations were not being executed.

Guido van Rossum 22348dc0e1 The warning about thread still having a frame now only happens in
verbose mode.
1997-11-03 22:08:36 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 3a44e1b9fb Two independent changes (alas):
- The interp->builtins variable (and hence, __main__.__builtins__) is
once again initialized to the built-in *module* instead of its
dictionary.

- The finalization order is once again changed.  Signals are finalized
relatively early, because (1) it DECREF's the signal handlers, and if
a signal handler happens to be a bound method, deleting it could cause
problems when there's no current thread around, and (2) we don't want
to risk executing signal handlers during finalization.
1997-11-03 21:58:47 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 197346fafe New policy for package imports: only a directory containing

Hinsen happy!
1997-10-31 18:38:52 +00:00

1997-09-18 16:42:02 +00:00
Barry Warsaw b01a7fa5f8 initerrors(): Eliminate circular reference which was causing a small
but annoying memory leak.  This was introduced when PyExc_Exception
was added; the loop above populating the PyExc_StandardError exception
tuple started at index 1 in bltin_exc, but PyExc_Exception was added
at index 0, so PyExc_StandardError was getting inserted in itself!
How else can a tuple include itself?!

Change the loop to start at index 2.

This was a *fun* one! :-)

Guido van Rossum a86f77d4dd Crrected a flow control error that caused the wrong error message when
load-module() didn't find a built-in or frozen module.  Also got rid
of is_frozen(), which duplicated the functionality of
find_frozen()!=NULL.
1997-09-09 18:53:47 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 9905ef9669 Added support for __all__, which should be a list of modules to be

1997-09-08 16:07:11 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 0c81945808 Bugfix: import A.B from inside package was busted by mark_miss optimization. 1997-09-07 06:16:57 +00:00
Guido van Rossum f5f5fdbdd0 Significant speedup -- when a submodule imports a global module, add a
dummy entry to sys.modules, marking the absence of a submodule by the
same name.

Thus, if module foo.bar executes the statement "import time",
sys.modules['foo.time'] will be set to None, once the absence of a
module foo.time is confirmed (by looking for it in foo's path).

The next time when foo.bar (or any other submodule of foo) executes
"import time", no I/O is necessary to determine that there is no
module foo.time.

(Justification: It may seem strange to pollute sys.modules.  However,
since we're doing the lookup anyway it's definitely the fastest
solution.  This is the same convention that 'ni' uses and I haven't
heard any complaints.)
1997-09-06 20:29:52 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 222ef56bbf Fix reload() for package submodules. 1997-09-06 19:41:09 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 17fc85f2f5 Phase two of package import. "import a.b.c" and all variants now do the
right thing.

Still to do:

- Make reload() of a submodule work.

- Performance tweaks -- currently, a submodule that tries to import a
global module *always* searches the package directory first, even if
the global module was already imported.  Not sure how to solve this
one; probably need to record misses per package.

- Documentation!
1997-09-06 18:52:03 +00:00
Guido van Rossum d6bf45bcf6 Fixed some details of printing the str() of an exception. This fixes
a core dump when __str__() returns a non-string, and plugs a memory
leak as well: the result of PyObject_Str() was never DECREFed.
1997-09-05 19:11:53 +00:00
Guido van Rossum aee0bad0a5 First part of package support.
This doesn't yet support "import a.b.c" or "from a.b.c import x", but
it does recognize directories.  When importing a directory, it
initializes __path__ to a list containing the directory name, and
loads the __init__ module if found.

The (internal) find_module() and load_module() functions are
restructured so that they both also handle built-in and frozen modules
and Mac resources (and directories of course).  The imp module's
find_module() and (new) load_module() also have this functionality.
Moreover, imp unconditionally defines constants for all module types,
and has two more new functions: find_module_in_package() and
find_module_in_directory().

There's also a new API function, PyImport_ImportModuleEx(), which
takes all four __import__ arguments (name, globals, locals, fromlist).
The last three may be NULL.  This is currently the same as
PyImport_ImportModule() but in the future it will be able to do
relative dotted-path imports.

Other changes:

- bltinmodule.c: in __import__, call PyImport_ImportModuleEx().

- ceval.c: always pass the fromlist to __import__, even if it is a C
function, so PyImport_ImportModuleEx() is useful.

- getmtime.c: the function has a second argument, the FILE*, on which
it applies fstat().  According to Sjoerd this is much faster.  The
first (pathname) argument is ignored, but remains for backward
compatibility (so the Mac version still works without changes).

By cleverly combining the new imp functionality, the full support for
dotted names in Python (mini.py, not checked in) is now about 7K,
lavishly commented (vs. 14K for ni plus 11K for ihooks, also lavishly
commented).

Good night!
1997-09-05 07:33:22 +00:00
Guido van Rossum d7ed683a7e Inline PyObject_CallObject (Marc-Andre Lemburg). 1997-08-30 15:02:50 +00:00
Guido van Rossum dcc0c13f74 Two independent changes (oops):
- Changed semantics for initialized flag (again); forget the ref
counting, forget the fatal errors -- redundant calls to
Py_Initialize() or Py_Finalize() calls are simply ignored.

- Automatically import site.py on initialization, unless a flag is set
not to do this by main().
1997-08-29 22:32:42 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 757af0e7bb Removed obsolete exception PyExc_AccessError.
Added PyErr_MemoryErrorInst to hold the pre-instantiated instance when
using class based exceptions.

Simplified the creation of all built-in exceptions, both class based
and string based.  Actually, for class based exceptions, the string
ones are still created just in case there's a problem creating the
class based ones (so you still get *some* exception handling!).  Now
the init and fini functions run through a list of structure elements,
creating the strings (and optionally classes) for every entry.

initerrors(): the new base class exceptions StandardError,
LookupError, and NumberError are initialized when using string
exceptions, to tuples containing the list of derived string
exceptions.  This GvR trick enables forward compatibility!  One bit of
nastiness is that the C code has to know the inheritance tree embodied
in exceptions.py.

Added the two phase init and fini functions.
1997-08-29 22:13:51 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 035574d755 Added Py_UseClassExceptionsFlag, the variable containing the state of
the -X command line option.

Py_Initialize(): Handle the two phase initialization of the built-in
module.

Py_Finalize(): Handle the two phase finalization of the built-in
module.

parse_syntax_error(): New function which parses syntax errors that
PyErr_Print() will catch.  This correctly parses such errors
regardless of whether PyExc_SyntaxError is an old-style string
exception or new-fangled class exception.

PyErr_Print(): Many changes:

    1. Normalize the exception.

    2. Handle SystemExit exceptions which might be class based.  Digs
       the exit code out of the "code" attribute.  String based
       SystemExit is handled the same as before.

    3. Handle SyntaxError exceptions which might be class based.  Digs
       the various information bits out of the instance's attributes
       (see parse_syntax_error() for details).  String based
       SyntaxError still works too.

    4. Don't write the `:' after the exception if the exception is
       class based and has an empty string str() value.

Barry Warsaw 2d8adff10a PyErr_NoMemory(): If the pre-instantiated memory exception is non-null
(PyExc_MemoryErrorInst) raise this instead of PyExc_MemoryError.  This
only happens when exception classes are enabled (e.g. when Python is
started with -X).

Barry Warsaw eaedc7ce32 eval_code2(), set_exc_info(): Call PyErr_NormalizeException() the
former rather than the latter, since PyErr_NormalizeException takes
PyObject** and I didn't want to change the interface for set_exc_info
(but I did want the changes propagated to eval_code2!).
1997-08-28 22:36:40 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 36b8f945e7 PyErr_Print(): Use PyErr_GivenExceptionMatches() instead of pointer
compares to test for SystemExit and SyntaxError.
1997-08-26 18:09:48 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 910105515e unpack_sequence(): In finally clause, watch out for Py_DECREF
evaluating its arguments twice.
1997-08-25 22:30:51 +00:00
Barry Warsaw e42b18f9d1 eval_code2(): collapsed the implementations of UNPACK_TUPLE and
UNPACK_LIST byte codes and added a third code path that allows
generalized sequence unpacking.  Now both syntaxes:

    a, b, c = seq
    [a, b, c] = seq

can be used to unpack any sequence with the exact right number of
items.

unpack_sequence(): out-lined implementation of generalized sequence
unpacking.  tuple and list unpacking are still inlined.
1997-08-25 22:13:04 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 4249f54b28 cmp_exception gets promoted (essentially) to the C API function
PyErr_GivenExceptionMatches().

set_exc_info(): make sure to normalize exceptions.

do_raise(): Use PyErr_NormalizeException() if type is a class.

loop_subscript(): Use PyErr_ExceptionMatches() instead of raw pointer
compare for PyExc_IndexError.
1997-08-22 21:26:19 +00:00
Barry Warsaw c0dc92af7d Three new C API functions:
- int PyErr_GivenExceptionMatches(obj1, obj2)

  Returns 1 if obj1 and obj2 are the same object, or if obj1 is an
  instance of type obj2, or of a class derived from obj2

- int PyErr_ExceptionMatches(obj)

  Higher level wrapper around PyErr_GivenExceptionMatches() which uses
  PyErr_Occurred() as obj1.  This will be the more commonly called
  function.

- void PyErr_NormalizeException(typeptr, valptr, tbptr)

  Normalizes exceptions, and places the normalized values in the
  arguments.  If type is not a class, this does nothing.  If type is a
  class, then it makes sure that value is an instance of the class by:

  1. if instance is of the type, or a class derived from type, it does
     nothing.

  2. otherwise it instantiates the class, using the value as an
     argument.  If value is None, it uses an empty arg tuple, and if
     the value is a tuple, it uses just that.
1997-08-22 21:22:58 +00:00
Barry Warsaw cde8b1ba0c Two new built-in functions: issubclass() and isinstance(). Both take
classes as their second arguments.  The former takes a class as the
first argument and returns true iff first is second, or is a subclass
of second.

The latter takes any object as the first argument and returns true iff
first is an instance of the second, or any subclass of second.

Also, change all occurances of pointer compares against
PyExc_IndexError with PyErr_ExceptionMatches() calls.

Guido van Rossum cd649654d7 Reverse the search order for the Don Beaudry hook so that the first
class wins.  Makes more sense.

Guido van Rossum e3c0d5eb34 Added new Py_IsInitalized() API function to test the 'initialized' flag. 1997-08-22 04:20:13 +00:00

Guido van Rossum aa61505fd2 Use a counter instead of a Boolean to check for initialized; n calls
to Py_Initialize will be undone by n calls to Py_Uninitialize.

Guido van Rossum 49b1226781 Use _beginthread() and _endthread() in favor of CreateThread() and
ExitThread().  As discussed in c.l.p, this takes care of
initialization and finalization of thread-local storage allocated by
the C runtime system.  Not sure whether non-MS compilers grok this
though (but who cares :-).
1997-08-14 20:12:58 +00:00
Guido van Rossum d47a0a86b4 Added Jim Fulton's PyImport_Import(), which calls whatever
__import__() hook is currently installed.

functions.
1997-08-05 02:22:03 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 085d269f1d New rules for deleting modules. Rather than having an elaborate
scheme based on object's types, have a simple two-phase scheme based
on object's *names*:

	/* To make the execution order of destructors for global
	   objects a bit more predictable, we first zap all objects
	   whose name starts with a single underscore, before we clear
	   the entire dictionary.  We zap them by replacing them with
	   None, rather than deleting them from the dictionary, to
	   avoid rehashing the dictionary (to some extent). */

Guido van Rossum f9c90c533e Renamed a local label that was accidentally grandly renamed to
'Py_Cleanup' back to 'cleanup'.

Guido van Rossum 25ce566661 The last of the mass checkins for separate (sub)interpreters.
Everything should now work again.

See the comments for the .h files mass checkin (e.g. pystate.h) for
more detail.
1997-08-02 03:10:38 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 40b33c648a Removed fatal errors from Py_Initmodule4() (and thus from
Py_Initmodule(), which is a macro wrapper around it).

The return value is now a NULL pointer if the initialization failed.
This may make old modules fail with a SEGFAULT, since they don't
expect this kind of failure.  That's OK, since (a) it "never" happens,
and (b) they would fail with a fatal error otherwise, anyway.

Tons of extension modules should now check the return value of
Py_Initmodule*() -- that's on my TODO list.
1997-08-02 03:07:46 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 55b9ab5bdb Extend the "Don Beaudry hack" with "Guido's corollary" -- if the base
class has a __class__ attribute, call that to create the new class.
This allows us to write metaclasses purely in C!
