cast first PyUnicode_Decode argument to proper type (why is
"char *" used for encoded byte streams, btw? shouldn't that
be "void *" or, if necessary, "unsigned char *"?)
Subversion revision number.
First, in an svn export, there will be no .svn directory, so use an in-file
$Revision$ keyword string with the keyword chrome stripped off.
Also, use $(srcdir) in the Makefile.pre.in to handle the case where Python is
build outside the source tree.
Add C API function Py_GetBuildNumber(), add it to the interactive prompt
banner (i.e. Py_GetBuildInfo()), and add it as the sys.build_number
attribute. The build number is a string instead of an int because it may
contain a trailing 'M' if there are local modifications.
In C++, it's an error to pass a string literal to a char* function
without a const_cast(). Rather than require every C++ extension
module to put a cast around string literals, fix the API to state the
const-ness.
I focused on parts of the API where people usually pass literals:
PyArg_ParseTuple() and friends, Py_BuildValue(), PyMethodDef, the type
slots, etc. Predictably, there were a large set of functions that
needed to be fixed as a result of these changes. The most pervasive
change was to make the keyword args list passed to
PyArg_ParseTupleAndKewords() to be a const char *kwlist[].
One cast was required as a result of the changes: A type object
mallocs the memory for its tp_doc slot and later frees it.
PyTypeObject says that tp_doc is const char *; but if the type was
created by type_new(), we know it is safe to cast to char *.
accepts strings only for unpickling reasons. This check prevents the honest
mistake of passing a string like '2:59.0' to time() and getting an insane
object.
This change implements a new bytecode compiler, based on a
transformation of the parse tree to an abstract syntax defined in
Parser/Python.asdl.
The compiler implementation is not complete, but it is in stable
enough shape to run the entire test suite excepting two disabled
tests.
Since I can't test this, I'm just adding a comment. If we get access
to AIX boxes, we can test this and really resolve. Anyone from IBM
want to offer help?
Backport candidate I suppose.
