Michael W. Hudson f0d777c56b A few days ago, Guido said (in the thread "[Python-Dev] Python 
version of PySlice_GetIndicesEx"):

> OK.  Michael, if you want to check in indices(), go ahead.

Then I did what was needed, but didn't check it in.  Here it is.

Fred Drake eab5f8a43d Remove unused variable. 2002-07-09 03:24:32 +00:00
Tim Peters 7c321a80f9 The Py_REF_DEBUG/COUNT_ALLOCS/Py_TRACE_REFS macro minefield: added 
more trivial lexical helper macros so that uses of these guys expand
to nothing at all when they're not enabled.  This should help sub-
standard compilers that can't do a good job of optimizing away the
previous "(void)0" expressions.

Py_DECREF:  There's only one definition of this now.  Yay!  That
was that last one in the family defined multiple times in an #ifdef
maze.

Py_FatalError():  Changed the char* signature to const char*.

_Py_NegativeRefcount():  New helper function for the Py_REF_DEBUG
expansion of Py_DECREF.  Calling an external function cuts down on
the volume of generated code.  The previous inline expansion of abort()
didn't work as intended on Windows (the program often kept going, and
the error msg scrolled off the screen unseen).  _Py_NegativeRefcount
calls Py_FatalError instead, which captures our best knowledge of
how to abort effectively across platforms.

 2002-07-08 14:10:41 +00:00
Fred Drake 388fba8504 Added font-setting line (and associated comments) to the A4 version of 
this file; the lack of this was causing the A4 version of tutorial to
use really bad Type 3 fonts instead of Type 1 fonts, which also
bloated the file size substantially.

I thought there was a SourceForge bug for this, but couldn't find it.
