discussion.
There are two places of documentation that still mention __context__:
Doc/lib/libstdtypes.tex -- I wasn't quite sure how to rewrite that without
spending a whole lot of time thinking about it; and whatsnew, which Andrew
usually likes to change himself.
The problem was that pyconfig.h was being included before some system headers
which caused redefinitions and other breakage. This moves system headers
after expat_config.h which includes pyconfig.h.
After the patch (45590) to add extra debug stats to the gc module, Python
was crashing on OpenBSD due to:
Fatal Python error: Interpreter not initialized (version mismatch?)
This seems to occur due to calling collect() when initialized (in pythonrun.c)
is set to 0. Now, the import will occur in the init function which
shouldn't suffer this problem.
MAXPATHLEN-sized buffers for various output-buffers (like to realpath()),
and that's correct on BSD platforms, but not Linux (which uses PATH_MAX, and
does not define MAXPATHLEN.) Cursory googling suggests Linux is following a
newer standard than BSD, but in cases like this, who knows. Using the
greater of PATH_MAX and 1024 as a fallback for MAXPATHLEN seems to be the
most portable solution.
AF_PACKET cases in getsockaddrarg were missing their own checks for
tuple-ness of the address argument, which means a confusing SystemError was
raised by PyArg_ParseTuple instead.
The new char-array used in ioctl calls wasn't explicitly NUL-terminated;
quite probably the cause for the test_pty failures on Solaris that we
circumvented earlier. (I wasn't able to reproduce it with this patch, but it
has been somewhat elusive to start with.)
This patch checks if poll is broken when the select module is loaded instead
of doing so at configure-time. This functionality is only active on Mac OS X.
This patch causes several symbols in the socket and posix module to be weakly
linked on OSX and disables usage of ftime on OSX. These changes make it possible
to use a binary build on OSX 10.4 on a 10.3 system.
I tested this with valgrind on amd64.
The man pages I found for diff architectures are inconsistent on this.
I'm not entirely sure this change is correct for all architectures either.
Perhaps we should just over-allocate and not worry about it?
the StgDictObject's ffi_type member had the same name as its type. I
changed that to ffi_type_pointer. Feel free to change it to something else
more meaningful, just not ffi_type.
not be tracked by GC. This fixes 254 of test_generators' refleaks on my
machine, but I'm sure something else will make them come back :>
Not adding a separate test for this kind of cycle, since the existing
fib/m235 already test them in more extensive ways than any 'minimal' test
has been able to manage.
using a custom, nearly-identical macro. This probably changes how some of
these functions are compiled, which may result in fractionally slower (or
faster) execution. Considering the nature of traversal, visiting much of the
address space in unpredictable patterns, I'd argue the code readability and
maintainability is well worth it ;P
PySequence_GetItem of the time.strptime() result. Not a high probability
bug, but not inconceivable either, considering people can provide their own
'time' module.
