Raymond Hettinger 3296e696db SF bug #1224347: int/long unification and hex()
Hex longs now print with lowercase letters like their int counterparts.
2005-06-29 23:29:56 +00:00
Raymond Hettinger 57e7447c44 * Beef-up tests for str.count().
* Speed-up str.count() by using memchr() to fly between first char matches.
2005-02-20 09:54:53 +00:00
Raymond Hettinger 7cbf1bcb3e * Beef-up testing of str.__contains__() and str.find().
* Speed-up "x in y" where x has more than one character.

The existing code made excessive calls to the expensive memcmp() function.
The new code uses memchr() to rapidly find a start point for memcmp().
In addition to knowing that the first character is a match, the new code
also checks that the last character is a match.  This significantly reduces
the incidence of false starts (saving memcmp() calls and making quadratic
behavior less likely).

Improves the timings on:
    python -m timeit -r7 -s"x='a'*1000" "'ab' in x"
    python -m timeit -r7 -s"x='a'*1000" "'bc' in x"

Once this code has proven itself, then string_find_internal() should refer
to it rather than running its own version.  Also, something similar may
apply to unicode objects.

Raymond Hettinger 561fbf138d SF bug #1054139: serious string hashing error in 2.4b1
_PyString_Resize() readied strings for mutation but did not invalidate
the cached hash value.

Raymond Hettinger 674f241e9c SF Patch #1007087: Return new string for single subclass joins (Bug #1001011)
(Patch contributed by Nick Coghlan.)

Now joining string subtypes will always return a string.
Formerly, if there were only one item, it was returned unchanged.

Armin Rigo 618fbf5469 This was quite a dark bug in my recent in-place string concatenation
hack: it would resize *interned* strings in-place!  This occurred because
their reference counts do not have their expected value -- stringobject.c
hacks them.  Mea culpa.

Jeremy Hylton 4c989ddc9c Subclasses of string can no longer be interned. The semantics of
interning were not clear here -- a subclass could be mutable, for
example -- and had bugs.  Explicitly interning a subclass of string
via intern() will raise a TypeError.  Internal operations that attempt
to intern a string subclass will have no effect.

Added a few tests to test_builtin that includes the old buggy code and
verifies that calls like PyObject_SetAttr() don't fail.  Perhaps these
tests should have gone in test_string.

Skip Montanaro ac4ea13a3a There are places in Python which assume bytes have 8-bits. Formalize that a
bit by checking the value of UCHAR_MAX in Include/Python.h.  There was a
check in Objects/stringobject.c.  Remove that.  (Note that we don't define
UCHAR_MAX if it's not defined as the old test did.)

Guido van Rossum 6c9e130524 - Removed FutureWarnings related to hex/oct literals and conversions
and left shifts.  (Thanks to Kalle Svensson for SF patch 849227.)
  This addresses most of the remaining semantic changes promised by
  PEP 237, except for repr() of a long, which still shows the trailing
  'L'.  The PEP appears to promise warnings for operations that
  changed semantics compared to Python 2.3, but this is not
  implemented; we've suffered through enough warnings related to
  hex/oct literals and I think it's best to be silent now.

Raymond Hettinger 5d5e7c0e34 SF patch #664192 bug #661913: inconsistent error messages between string

Raymond Hettinger 0a2f849b79 GvR's idea to use memset() for the most common special case of repeating
a single character.  Shaves another 10% off the running time by avoiding
the lg2(N) loops and cache effects for the other cases.
2003-01-06 22:42:41 +00:00
Raymond Hettinger 698258a199 Optimize string_repeat.
Christian Tismer pointed out the high cost of the loop overhead and
function call overhead for 'c' * n where n is large.  Accordingly,
the new code only makes lg2(n) loops.

Interestingly, 'c' * 1000 * 1000 ran a bit faster with old code.  At some
point, the loop and function call overhead became cheaper than invalidating
the cache with lengthy memcpys.  But for more typical sizes of n, the new
code runs much faster and for larger values of n it runs only a bit slower.

Neal Norwitz 80a1bf4b5d Fix SF # 635969, No error "not all arguments converted"
When mwh added extended slicing, strings and unicode became mappings.
Thus, dict was set which prevented an error when doing:
	newstr = 'format without a percent' % string_value

This fix raises an exception again when there are no formats
and % with a string value.

Martin v. Löwis a5f0907d79 Back out #479898. 2002-10-11 05:37:59 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 049cd6b563 Fix a nasty endcase reported by Armin Rigo in SF bug 618623:
'%2147483647d' % -123 segfaults.  This was because an integer overflow
in a comparison caused the string resize to be skipped.  After fixing
the overflow, this could call _PyString_Resize() with a negative size,
so I (1) test for that and raise MemoryError instead; (2) also added a
test for negative newsize to _PyString_Resize(), raising SystemError
as for all bad arguments.

An identical bug existed in unicodeobject.c, of course.

Will backport to 2.2.2.
2002-10-11 00:43:48 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 8052f8921e Undo this part of the previous checkin:
Also fixed an error message -- %s argument has non-string str()
  doesn't make sense for %r, so the error message now differentiates
  between %s and %r.

because PyObject_Repr() and PyObject_Str() ensure that this can never
happen.  Added a helpful comment instead.
2002-10-09 19:14:30 +00:00
Guido van Rossum b00c07f038 The string formatting code has a test to switch to Unicode when %s
sees a Unicode argument.  Unfortunately this test was also executed
for %r, because %s and %r share almost all of their code.  This meant
that, if u is a unicode object while repr(u) is an 8-bit string
containing ASCII characters, '%r' % u is a *unicode* string containing
only ASCII characters!

Fixed by executing the test only for %s.

Also fixed an error message -- %s argument has non-string str()
doesn't make sense for %r, so the error message now differentiates
between %s and %r.

Walter Dörwald 8709a420c4 Check whether a string resize is necessary at the end
of PyString_DecodeEscape(). This prevents a call to

empty string has more than one reference.

Guido van Rossum 45ec02aed1 SF patch 576101, by Oren Tirosh: alternative implementation of
interning.  I modified Oren's patch significantly, but the basic idea
and most of the implementation is unchanged.  Interned strings created
with PyString_InternInPlace() are now mortal, and you must keep a
reference to the resulting string around; use the new function
PyString_InternImmortal() to create immortal interned strings.

Guido van Rossum e3a8e7ed1d Call me anal, but there was a particular phrase that was speading to
comments everywhere that bugged me: /* Foo is inlined */ instead of
/* Inline Foo */.  Somehow the "is inlined" phrase always confused me
for half a second (thinking, "No it isn't" until I added the missing
"here").  The new phrase is hopefully unambiguous.

Martin v. Löwis 8a8da798a5 Patch #505705: Remove eval in pickle and cPickle. 2002-08-14 07:46:28 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 078151da90 Implement stage B0 of PEP 237: add warnings for operations that
currently return inconsistent results for ints and longs; in
particular: hex/oct/%u/%o/%x/%X of negative short ints, and x<<n that
either loses bits or changes sign.  (No warnings for repr() of a long,
though that will also change to lose the trailing 'L' eventually.)

This introduces some warnings in the test suite; I'll take care of
those later.

Jeremy Hylton 938ace69a0 staticforward bites the dust.
The staticforward define was needed to support certain broken C
compilers (notably SCO ODT 3.0, perhaps early AIX as well) botched the
static keyword when it was used with a forward declaration of a static
initialized structure.  Standard C allows the forward declaration with
static, and we've decided to stop catering to broken C compilers.  (In
fact, we expect that the compilers are all fixed eight years later.)

I'm leaving staticforward and statichere defined in object.h as
static.  This is only for backwards compatibility with C extensions
that might still use it.

XXX I haven't updated the documentation.
2002-07-17 16:30:39 +00:00
Tim Peters 3459251d5a object.h special-build macro minefield: renamed all the new lexical
helper macros to something saner, and used them appropriately in other
files too, to reduce #ifdef blocks.

classobject.c, instance_dealloc():  One of my worst Python Memories is
trying to fix this routine a few years ago when COUNT_ALLOCS was defined
but Py_TRACE_REFS wasn't.  The special-build code here is way too
complicated.  Now it's much simpler.  Difference:  in a Py_TRACE_REFS
build, the instance is no longer in the doubly-linked list of live
objects while its __del__ method is executing, and that may be visible
via sys.getobjects() called from a __del__ method.  Tough -- the object
is presumed dead while its __del__ is executing anyway, and not calling
_Py_NewReference() at the start allows enormous code simplification.

typeobject.c, call_finalizer():  The special-build instance_dealloc()
pain apparently spread to here too via cut-'n-paste, and this is much
simpler now too.  In addition, I didn't understand why this routine
was calling _PyObject_GC_TRACK() after a resurrection, since there's no
plausible way _PyObject_GC_UNTRACK() could have been called on the
object by this point.  I suspect it was left over from pasting the
instance_delloc() code.  Instead asserted that the object is still
tracked.  Caution:  I suspect we don't have a test that actually
exercises the subtype_dealloc() __del__-resurrected-me code.

2002-05-13 09:00:41 +00:00
Tim Peters 5de9842b34 Repair widespread misuse of _PyString_Resize. Since it's clear people
don't understand how this function works, also beefed up the docs.  The
most common usage error is of this form (often spread out across gotos):

	if (_PyString_Resize(&s, n) < 0) {
		Py_DECREF(s);
		s = NULL;
		goto outtahere;
	}

The error is that if _PyString_Resize runs out of memory, it automatically
decrefs the input string object s (which also deallocates it, since its
refcount must be 1 upon entry), and sets s to NULL.  So if the "if"
branch ever triggers, it's an error to call Py_DECREF(s):  s is already
NULL!  A correct way to write the above is the simpler (and intended)

	if (_PyString_Resize(&s, n) < 0)
		goto outtahere;

Bugfix candidate.

Add a method zfill to str, unicode and UserString and change
Lib/string.py accordingly.

This activates the zfill version in unicodeobject.c that was
commented out and implements the same in stringobject.c. It also
adds the test for unicode support in Lib/string.py back in and
uses repr() instead() of str() (as it was before Lib/string.py 1.62)

Guido van Rossum 77f6a65eb0 Add the 'bool' type and its values 'False' and 'True', as described in
PEP 285.  Everything described in the PEP is here, and there is even
some documentation.  I had to fix 12 unit tests; all but one of these
were printing Boolean outcomes that changed from 0/1 to False/True.
(The exception is test_unicode.py, which did a type(x) == type(y)
style comparison.  I could've fixed that with a single line using
issubtype(x, type(y)), but instead chose to be explicit about those
places where a bool is expected.

Still to do: perhaps more documentation; change standard library
modules to return False/True from predicates.

Andrew MacIntyre c487439aa7 OS/2 EMX port changes (Objects part of patch #450267):
Objects/
    fileobject.c
    stringobject.c
    unicodeobject.c

This commit doesn't include the cleanup patches for stringobject.c and
unicodeobject.c which are shown separately in the patch manager.  Those
patches will be regenerated and applied in a subsequent commit, so as
to preserve a fallback position (this commit to those files).

Martin v. Löwis 1f803f782c Updated patch #487906: Revise inline docs. 2002-01-16 10:53:24 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 169192e818 SF patch #491049 (David Jacobs): Small PyString_FromString optimization
PyString_FromString():
  Since the length of the string is already being stored in size,
  changed the strcpy() to a memcpy() for a small speed improvement.
2001-12-10 15:45:54 +00:00
Tim Peters 62de65b25e PyString_FromString: this requires its argument be non-NULL, but doesn't
check it.  Added an assert() to that effect.

Jeremy Hylton 7802a53e38 Little stuff.
Add a missing DECREF in an obscure corner.  If the str() or repr() of
an object passed to a string interpolation -- e.g. "%s" % obj --
returns a non-string, the returned object was leaked.

Repair an indentation glitch.

Replace a bunch of PyString_AsString() calls (and their ilk) with
macros.

Tim Peters 9161c8b0a1 PyString_FromFormatV, string_repr: document why these use sprintf
instead of PyOS_snprintf; add some relevant comments and asserts.

Martin v. Löwis d132750206 Patch 487906: update inline docs. 2001-12-02 18:09:41 +00:00
Tim Peters 885d457709 sprintf -> PyOS_snprintf in some "obviously safe" cases.
Also changed <>-style #includes to ""-style in some places where the
former didn't make sense.

Guido van Rossum 5c66a26dee Make the error message for unsupported operand types cleaner, in
response to a message by Laura Creighton on c.l.py.  E.g.

    >>> 0+''
    TypeError: unsupported operand types for +: 'int' and 'str'

(previously this did not mention the operand types)

    >>> ''+0
    TypeError: cannot concatenate 'str' and 'int' objects

Tim Peters c993315b18 SF bug [#468061] __str__ ignored in str subclass.
object.c, PyObject_Str:  Don't try to optimize anything except exact
string objects here; in particular, let str subclasses go thru tp_str,
same as non-str objects.  This allows overrides of tp_str to take
effect.

stringobject.c:
+ string_print (str's tp_print):  If the argument isn't an exact string
  object, get one from PyObject_Str.

+ string_str (str's tp_str):  Make a genuine-string copy of the object if
  it's of a proper str subclass type.  str() applied to a str subclass
  that doesn't override __str__ ends up here.

test_descr.py:  New str_of_str_subclass() test.

Guido van Rossum 9475a2310d Enable GC for new-style instances. This touches lots of files, since
many types were subclassable but had a xxx_dealloc function that
called PyObject_DEL(self) directly instead of deferring to
self->ob_type->tp_free(self).  It is permissible to set tp_free in the
type object directly to _PyObject_Del, for non-GC types, or to
_PyObject_GC_Del, for GC types.  Still, PyObject_DEL was a tad faster,
so I'm fearing that our pystone rating is going down again.  I'm not
sure if doing something like

void xxx_dealloc(PyObject *self)
{
	if (PyXxxCheckExact(self))
		PyObject_DEL(self);
	else
		self->ob_type->tp_free(self);
}

is any faster than always calling the else branch, so I haven't
attempted that -- however those types whose own dealloc is fancier
(int, float, unicode) do use this pattern.

Tim Peters c15c4f1f39 SF bug [#467265] Compile errors on SuSe Linux on IBM/s390.
Unknown whether this fixes it.
- stringobject.c, PyString_FromFormatV:  don't assume that va_list is of
  a type that can be copied via an initializer.
- errors.c, PyErr_Format:  add a va_end() to balance the va_start().

Guido van Rossum 2ed6bf87c9 Merge branch changes (coercion, rich comparisons) into trunk. 2001-09-27 20:30:07 +00:00
Guido van Rossum bb77e6801e Change string comparison so that it applies even when one (or both)
arguments are subclasses of str, as long as they don't override rich
comparison.

Tim Peters 111f60964e If interning an instance of a string subclass, intern a real string object
with the same value instead.  This ensures that a string (or string
subclass) object's ob_sinterned pointer is always a str (or NULL), and
that the dict of interned strings only has strs as keys.
2001-09-12 07:54:51 +00:00
Tim Peters af90b3e610 str_subtype_new, unicode_subtype_new:
+ These were leaving the hash fields at 0, which all string and unicode
  routines believe is a legitimate hash code.  As a result, hash() applied
  to str and unicode subclass instances always returned 0, which in turn
  confused dict operations, etc.
+ Changed local names "new"; no point to antagonizing C++ compilers.

Tim Peters 8fa5dd0601 More bug 460020: lots of string optimizations inhibited for string
subclasses, all "the usual" ones (slicing etc), plus replace, translate,
ljust, rjust, center and strip.  I don't know how to be sure they've all
been caught.

Question:  Should we complain if someone tries to intern an instance of
a string subclass?  I hate to slow any code on those paths.
