Guido van Rossum e92e610a9e Christian Tismer -- total rewrite on trashcan code.
Improvements:
- does no longer need any extra memory
- has no relationship to tstate
- works in debug mode
- can easily be modified for free threading (hi Greg:)

Side effects:
Trashcan does change the order of object destruction.
Prevending that would be quite an immense effort, as
my attempts have shown. This version works always
the same, with debug mode or not. The slightly
changed destruction order should therefore be no problem.

Algorithm:
While the old idea of delaying the destruction of some
obejcts at a certain recursion level was kept, we now
no longer aloocate an object to hold these objects.
The delayed objects are instead chained together
via their ob_type field. The type is encoded via
ob_refcnt. When it comes to the destruction of the
chain of waiting objects, the topmost object is popped
off the chain and revived with type and refcount 1,
then it gets a normal Py_DECREF.

I am confident that this solution is near optimum
for minimizing side effects and code bloat.

Jeremy Hylton 4a3dd2dcc2 Fix PR#7 comparisons of recursive objects
Note that comparisons of deeply nested objects can still dump core in
extreme cases.

Fred Drake 0e12bcd243 Updated comment: in PyTypeObject:
/* More standard operations (at end for binary compatibility) */

should now be:

	/* More standard operations (here for binary compatibility) */

since they're no longer at the end!

Guido van Rossum d724b23420 Christian Tismer's "trashcan" patch:
Added wrapping macros to dictobject.c, listobject.c, tupleobject.c,
frameobject.c, traceback.c that safely prevends core dumps
on stack overflow. Macros and functions in object.c, object.h.
The method is an "elevator destructor" that turns cascading
deletes into tail recursive behavior when some limit is hit.

Guido van Rossum c6e87a2925 Got rid of silly "123456789-..." lines in comments. 2000-03-01 15:06:53 +00:00
Guido van Rossum cecb27a49c Patch by Mozhe Zadka, for __contains__ (overloading 'in'). This adds
a new proc type (objobjproc), a new slot sq_contains to
PySequenceMethods, and a new flag Py_TPFLAGS_HAVE_SEQUENCE_IN to
Py_TPFLAGS_DEFAULT.  More to follow.

Guido van Rossum bffd683f73 The rest of the changes by Trent Mick and Dale Nagata for warning-free
compilation on NT Alpha.  Mostly added casts etc.

Guido van Rossum 43466ec7b0 Add DL_IMPORT(returntype) for all officially exported functions. 1998-12-04 18:48:25 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 36eef3c173 Changes by Greg Stein (code) and GvR (design).
Add a new member to the PyBufferProcs struct, bf_getcharbuffer.  For
backward compatibility, this member should only be used (this includes
testing for NULL!) when the flag Py_TPFLAGS_HAVE_GETCHARBUFFER is set
in the type structure, below.  Note that if its flag is not set, we
may be looking at an extension module compiled for 1.5.1, which will
have garbage at the bf_getcharbuffer member (because the struct wasn't
as long then).  If the flag is one, the pointer may still be NULL.
The function found at this member is used in a similar manner as
bf_getreadbuffer, but it is known to point to 8-bit character data.
(See discussion in getargs.c checked in later.)

As a general feature for extending the type structure and the various
structures that (may) hang off it in a backwards compatible way, we
rename the tp_xxx4 "spare" slot to tp_flags.  In 1.5.1 and before,
this slot was always zero.  In 1.5.1, it may contain various flags
indicating extra fields that weren't present in 1.5.1.  The only flag
defined so far is for the bf_getcharbuffer member of the PyBufferProcs
struct.

Note that the new spares (tp_xxx5 - tp_xxx8), once they become used,
should also be protected by a flag (or flags) in tp_flags.

Fred Drake 49bb0e32a0 Fix in trailing comment: PyDict_SetItemString() does *not* consume a reference
count, PyList_SetItem() does.  Very confusing!
1997-09-05 17:53:53 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 1d529d1ecd Add a cast to the call to _Py_Dealloc in the expanded version of
Py_DECREF, to reduce the warnings when compiling with reference count
debugging on.  (There are still warnings for each call to
_Py_NewReference -- too bad.)

Guido van Rossum 938178283c new names for lots of new functions 1995-01-17 16:01:01 +00:00
Guido van Rossum caa6380886 The great renaming, phase two: all header files have been updated to
use the new names exclusively, and the linker will see the new names.
Files that import "Python.h" also only see the new names.  Files that
import "allobjects.h" will continue to be able to use the old names,
due to the inclusion (in allobjects.h) of "rename2.h".

Guido van Rossum 5799b52008 Added 1995 copyright.
object.h: made sizes and refcnts signed ints.
stringobject.h: make getstrsize() signed int.
methodobject.h: add METH_VARARGS and METH_FREENAME flag bit definitions.

Guido van Rossum e89bc75048 Changes for dynamic linking under NT 1994-08-18 16:18:13 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 75abc6392b * Objects/{int,long,float}object.c, Include/object.h,
Python/bltinmodule.c: mods by Andrew Kuchling to implement
	pow(x,y,z) == pow(x,y)%z, but without incurring overflow
1994-08-09 13:21:54 +00:00
Guido van Rossum b6775db241 Merge alpha100 branch back to main trunk 1994-08-01 11:34:53 +00:00
Guido van Rossum c600411755 * mpzmodule.c: removed redundant mpz_print function.
* object.[ch], bltinmodule.c, fileobject.c: changed str() to call
  strobject() which calls an object's __str__ method if it has one.
  strobject() is also called by writeobject() when PRINT_RAW is passed.
* ceval.c: rationalize code for PRINT_ITEM (no change in function!)
* funcobject.c, codeobject.c: added compare and hash functionality.
  Functions with identical code objects and the same global dictionary are
  equal.  Code objects are equal when their code, constants list and names
  list are identical (i.e. the filename and code name don't count).
  (hash doesn't work yet since the constants are in a list and lists can't
  be hashed -- suppose this should really be done with a tuple now we have
  resizetuple!)
1993-11-05 10:22:19 +00:00
Sjoerd Mullender a9c3c22c33 * Extended X interface: pixmap objects, colormap objects visual objects,
image objects, and lots of new methods.
* Added counting of allocations and deallocations of builtin types if
  COUNT_ALLOCS is defined.  Had to move calls to NEWREF down in some
  files.
* Bug fix in sorting lists.
1993-10-11 12:54:31 +00:00
Guido van Rossum a3309960a5 * Added support for X11 modules.
* Makefile: change location of FORMS library.
* posixmodule.c: turn #if 0 into #ifdef MSDOS (stuff in unistd.h or not)
* Almost all .h files: added CPP magic to avoid duplicate inclusions and
  to support inclusion from C++.
1993-07-28 09:05:47 +00:00
Guido van Rossum ed18fdc9fc * accessobject.c (ownercheck): allow a base class access to protected
objects of its derived classes; allow anything that has an attribute
  named "__privileged__" access to anything.
* object.[ch]: added hasattr() -- test whether getattr() will succeed.
1993-07-11 19:55:34 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 9bfef44d97 * Changed all copyright messages to include 1993.
* Stubs for faster implementation of local variables (not yet finished)
* Added function name to code object.  Print it for code and function
  objects.  THIS MAKES THE .PYC FILE FORMAT INCOMPATIBLE (the version
  number has changed accordingly)
* Print address of self for built-in methods
* New internal functions getattro and setattro (getattr/setattr with
  string object arg)
* Replaced "dictobject" with more powerful "mappingobject"
* New per-type functio tp_hash to implement arbitrary object hashing,
  and hashobject() to interface to it
* Added built-in functions hash(v) and hasattr(v, 'name')
* classobject: made some functions static that accidentally weren't;
  added __hash__ special instance method to implement hash()
* Added proper comparison for built-in methods and functions
1993-03-29 10:43:31 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 1899c2e055 Made builtins int(), long(), float(), oct() and hex() more generic. 1992-09-12 11:09:23 +00:00
Guido van Rossum f2c8beba0b AOnly define NDEDBUG if DEBUG is not defined 1992-09-03 20:34:07 +00:00
Guido van Rossum e6eefc2231 * classobject.[ch], {float,long,int}object.c, bltinmodule.c:
coercion is now completely generic.
* ceval.c: for instances, don't coerce for + and *; * reverses
  arguments if left one is non-instance numeric and right one sequence.
