Guido van Rossum b8c65bc27f SF patch #470578: Fixes to synchronize unicode() and str()
This patch implements what we have discussed on python-dev late in
    September: str(obj) and unicode(obj) should behave similar, while
    the old behaviour is retained for unicode(obj, encoding, errors).

    The patch also adds a new feature with which objects can provide
    unicode(obj) with input data: the __unicode__ method. Currently no
    new tp_unicode slot is implemented; this is left as option for the
    future.

    Note that PyUnicode_FromEncodedObject() no longer accepts Unicode
    objects as input. The API name already suggests that Unicode
    objects do not belong in the list of acceptable objects and the
    functionality was only needed because
    PyUnicode_FromEncodedObject() was being used directly by
    unicode(). The latter was changed in the discussed way:

    * unicode(obj) calls PyObject_Unicode()
    * unicode(obj, encoding, errors) calls PyUnicode_FromEncodedObject()

    One thing left open to discussion is whether to leave the
    PyUnicode_FromObject() API as a thin API extension on top of
    PyUnicode_FromEncodedObject() or to turn it into a (macro) alias
    for PyObject_Unicode() and deprecate it. Doing so would have some
    surprising consequences though, e.g.  u"abc" + 123 would turn out
    as u"abc123"...

[Marc-Andre didn't have time to check this in before the deadline.  I
hope this is OK, Marc-Andre!  You can still make changes and commit
them on the trunk after the branch has been made, but then please mail
Barry a context diff if you want the change to be merged into the
2.2b1 release branch.  GvR]

Guido van Rossum 98bf58f1c6 SF patch #462296: Add attributes to os.stat results; by Nick Mathewson.
This is a big one, touching lots of files.  Some of the platforms
aren't tested yet.  Briefly, this changes the return value of the
os/posix functions stat(), fstat(), statvfs(), fstatvfs(), and the
time functions localtime(), gmtime(), and strptime() from tuples into
pseudo-sequences.  When accessed as a sequence, they behave exactly as
before.  But they also have attributes like st_mtime or tm_year.  The
stat return value, moreover, has a few platform-specific attributes
that are not available through the sequence interface (because
everybody expects the sequence to have a fixed length, these couldn't
be added there).  If your platform's struct stat doesn't define
st_blksize, st_blocks or st_rdev, they won't be accessible from Python
either.

(Still missing is a documentation update.)

Guido van Rossum 3c28863e08 Partial patch from SF #452266, by Jason Petrone.
This changes Pythread_start_thread() to return the thread ID, or -1
for an error.  (It's technically an incompatible API change, but I
doubt anyone calls it.)
2001-10-16 21:13:49 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 687ae00460 Get rid of __defined__ and tp_defined -- there's no need to
distinguish __dict__ and __defined__ any more.  In the C structure,
tp_cache takes its place -- but this hasn't been implemented yet.
2001-10-15 22:03:32 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 2f3ca6eeb6 Completely get rid of __dynamic__ and the corresponding
Py_TPFLAGS_DYNAMICTYPE bit.  There is no longer a performance benefit,
and I don't really see the use case any more.
2001-10-15 21:05:10 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 5aace07fe0 Use an assert() for the REQ() macro instead of making up our own
assertion.
2001-10-15 17:23:13 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 1c917072ca Very subtle syntax change: in a list comprehension, the testlist in
"for <var> in <testlist> may no longer be a single test followed by
a comma.  This solves SF bug #431886.  Note that if the testlist
contains more than one test, a trailing comma is still allowed, for
maximum backward compatibility; but this example is not:

    [(x, y) for x in range(10), for y in range(10)]
                              ^

The fix involved creating a new nonterminal 'testlist_safe' whose
definition doesn't allow the trailing comma if there's only one test:

    testlist_safe: test [(',' test)+ [',']]

Martin v. Löwis 6953233a35 Check for term.h and include it on non-ncurses system to get a declaration

Tim Peters 9e4ca10ce4 SF bug [#467145] Python 2.2a4 build problem on HPUX 11.0.
The platform requires 8-byte alignment for doubles, but the GC header
was 12 bytes and that threw off the natural alignment of the double
members of a subtype of complex.  The fix puts the GC header into a
union with a double as the other member, to force no-looser-than
double alignment of GC headers.  On boxes that require 8-byte alignment
for doubles, this may add pad bytes to the GC header accordingly; ditto
for platforms that *prefer* 8-byte alignment for doubles.  On platforms
that don't care, it shouldn't change the memory layout (because the
size of the old GC header is certainly greater than the size of a double
on all platforms, so unioning with a double shouldn't change size or
alignment on such boxes).
2001-10-11 18:31:31 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 1c45073aba Keep track of a type's subclasses (subtypes), in tp_subclasses, which
is a list of weak references to types (new-style classes).  Make this
accessible to Python as the function __subclasses__ which returns a
list of types -- we don't want Python programmers to be able to
manipulate the raw list.

In order to make this possible, I also had to add weak reference
support to type objects.

This will eventually be used together with a trap on attribute
assignment for dynamic classes for a major speed-up without losing the
dynamic properties of types: when a __foo__ method is added to a
class, the class and all its subclasses will get an appropriate tp_foo
slot function.
2001-10-08 15:18:27 +00:00
Tim Peters f2a67daca2 Guido suggests, and I agree, to insist that SIZEOF_VOID_P be a power of 2.
This simplifies the rounding in _PyObject_VAR_SIZE, allows to restore the
pre-rounding calling sequence, and allows some nice little simplifications
in its callers.  I'm still making it return a size_t, though.
2001-10-07 03:54:51 +00:00
Tim Peters 6d483d3477 _PyObject_VAR_SIZE: always round up to a multiple-of-pointer-size value.
As Guido suggested, this makes the new subclassing code substantially
simpler.  But the mechanics of doing it w/ C macro semantics are a mess,
and _PyObject_VAR_SIZE has a new calling sequence now.

Question:  The PyObject_NEW_VAR macro appears to be part of the public API.
Regardless of what it expands to, the notion that it has to round up the
memory it allocates is new, and extensions containing the old
PyObject_NEW_VAR macro expansion (which was embedded in the
PyObject_NEW_VAR expansion) won't do this rounding.  But the rounding
isn't actually *needed* except for new-style instances with dict pointers
after a variable-length blob of embedded data.  So my guess is that we do
not need to bump the API version for this (as the rounding isn't needed
for anything an extension can do unless it's recompiled anyway).  What's
your guess?
2001-10-06 21:27:34 +00:00
Tim Peters 406fe3b1c0 Repaired the debug Windows deaths in test_descr, by allocating enough
pad memory to properly align the __dict__ pointer in all cases.

gcmodule.c/objimpl.h, _PyObject_GC_Malloc:
+ Added a "padding" argument so that this flavor of malloc can allocate
  enough bytes for alignment padding (it can't know this is needed, but
  its callers do).

typeobject.c, PyType_GenericAlloc:
+ Allocated enough bytes to align the __dict__ pointer.
+ Sped and simplified the round-up-to-PTRSIZE logic.
+ Added blank lines so I could parse the if/else blocks <0.7 wink>.

Fred Drake 335244c710 Remove bogus declaration. 2001-10-05 22:06:45 +00:00
Fred Drake b3f0d349b6 PyObject_ClearWeakRefs() is now a real function instead of a function pointer;
the implementation is in Objects/weakrefobject.c.
2001-10-05 21:58:11 +00:00
Fred Drake 19bc578a09 Include the weakref object interface. 2001-10-05 21:55:19 +00:00
Fred Drake 8844d5264f The weak reference implementation, separated from the weakref module. 2001-10-05 21:52:26 +00:00
Fred Drake bb9fa21cfe weakref.ReferenceError becomes a built-in exception now that weak ref objects
are moving into the core; with these changes, it will be possible for the
exception to be raised without the weakref module ever being imported.
2001-10-05 21:50:08 +00:00
Tim Peters b1c469843f Introduced the oddly-missing PyList_CheckExact(), and used it to replace
a hard-coded type check.
2001-10-05 20:41:38 +00:00
Guido van Rossum f4593e0b65 *EXPERIMENTAL* speedup of slot_sq_item. This sped up the following
test dramatically:

    class T(tuple): __dynamic__ = 1
    t = T(range(1000))
    for i in range(1000): tt = tuple(t)

The speedup was about 5x compared to the previous state of CVS (1.7
vs. 8.8, in arbitrary time units).  But it's still more than twice as
slow as as the same test with __dynamic__ = 0 (0.8).

I'm not sure that I really want to go through the trouble of this kind
of speedup for every slot.  Even doing it just for the most popular
slots will be a major effort (the new slot_sq_item is 40+ lines, while
the old one was one line with a powerful macro -- unfortunately the
speedup comes from expanding the macro and doing things in a way
specific to the slot signature).

An alternative that I'm currently considering is sketched in PLAN.txt:
trap setattr on type objects.  But this will require keeping track of
all derived types using weak references.
2001-10-03 12:09:30 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 048eb75c2d Add Garbage Collection support to new-style classes (not yet to their
instances).

Also added GC support to various auxiliary types: super, property,
descriptors, wrappers, dictproxy.  (Only type objects have a tp_clear
field; the other types are.)

One change was necessary to the GC infrastructure.  We have statically
allocated type objects that don't have a GC header (and can't easily
be given one) and heap-allocated type objects that do have a GC
header.  Giving these different metatypes would be really ugly: I
tried, and I had to modify pickle.py, cPickle.c, copy.py, add a new
invent a new name for the new metatype and make it a built-in, change
affected tests...  In short, a mess.  So instead, we add a new type
slot tp_is_gc, which is a simple Boolean function that determines
whether a particular instance has GC headers or not.  This slot is
only relevant for types that have the (new) GC flag bit set.  If the
tp_is_gc slot is NULL (by far the most common case), all instances of
the type are deemed to have GC headers.  This slot is called by the
PyObject_IS_GC() macro (which is only used twice, both times in
gcmodule.c).

I also changed the extern declarations for a bunch of GC-related
functions (_PyObject_GC_Del etc.): these always exist but objimpl.h
only declared them when WITH_CYCLE_GC was defined, but I needed to be
able to reference them without #ifdefs.  (When WITH_CYCLE_GC is not
defined, they do the same as their non-GC counterparts anyway.)
2001-10-02 21:24:57 +00:00
Tim Peters 092a7a80fd SF patch [#466353] Py_HUGE_VAL on BeOS for Intel.
The patch repaired internal gcc compiler errors on BeOS.
This checkin repairs them in a simpler way, by explicitly casting the
platform INFINITY to double.

2001-09-28 17:15:23 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 32d34c809f Add optional docstrings to getset descriptors. Fortunately, there's
no backwards compatibility to worry about, so I just pushed the
'closure' struct member to the back -- it's never used in the current
code base (I may eliminate it, but that's more work because the getter
and setter signatures would have to change.)

As examples, I added actual docstrings to the getset attributes of a
few types: file.closed, xxsubtype.spamdict.state.
2001-09-20 21:45:26 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 6f7993765a Add optional docstrings to member descriptors. For backwards
compatibility, this required all places where an array of "struct
memberlist" structures was declared that is referenced from a type's
tp_members slot to change the type of the structure to PyMemberDef;
"struct memberlist" is now only used by old code that still calls
PyMember_Get/Set.  The code in PyObject_GenericGetAttr/SetAttr now
calls the new APIs PyMember_GetOne/SetOne, which take a PyMemberDef
argument.

As examples, I added actual docstrings to the attributes of a few
types: file, complex, instance method, super, and xxsubtype.spamlist.

Also converted the symtable to new style getattr.

Marc-André Lemburg c60e6f7771 Patch #435971: UTF-7 codec by Brian Quinlan. 2001-09-20 10:35:46 +00:00
Marc-André Lemburg 5e6007c5db Fix for bug #462737. 2001-09-19 11:21:03 +00:00
Guido van Rossum ab3b0343b8 Hopefully fix 3-way comparisons. This unfortunately adds yet another
hack, and it's even more disgusting than a PyInstance_Check() call.
If the tp_compare slot is the slot used for overrides in Python,
it's always called.

Add some tests that show what should work too.
2001-09-18 20:38:53 +00:00
Guido van Rossum c299fc16f2 Add support for restricting access based on restricted execution mode.
Renamed the 'readonly' field to 'flags' and defined some new flag
bits: READ_RESTRICTED and WRITE_RESTRICTED, as well as a shortcut
RESTRICTED that means both.
2001-09-17 19:28:08 +00:00
Tim Peters 59c9a645e2 SF bug [#460467] file objects should be subclassable.
Preliminary support.  What's here works, but needs fine-tuning.
2001-09-13 05:38:56 +00:00
Tim Peters 2400fa4ad1 Again perhaps the end of [#460020] bug or feature: unicode() and subclasses.
Inhibited complex unary plus optimization when applied to a complex subtype.
Added PyComplex_CheckExact macro.  Some comments and minor code fiddling.
2001-09-12 19:12:49 +00:00
Tim Peters 78e0fc74bc Possibly the end of SF [#460020] bug or feature: unicode() and subclasses.
Changed unicode(i) to return a true Unicode object when i is an instance of
a unicode subclass.  Added PyUnicode_CheckExact macro.
2001-09-11 03:07:38 +00:00
Tim Peters 5a49ade70e More on SF bug [#460020] bug or feature: unicode() and subclasses.
Repaired str(i) to return a genuine string when i is an instance of a str
subclass.  New PyString_CheckExact() macro.
2001-09-11 01:41:59 +00:00
Tim Peters 4c3a0a35cd More on SF bug [#460020] bug or feature: unicode() and subclasses.
tuple(i) repaired to return a true tuple when i is an instance of a
tuple subclass.
Added PyTuple_CheckExact macro.
PySequence_Tuple():  if a tuple-like object isn't exactly a tuple, it's
not safe to return the object as-is -- make a new tuple of it instead.
2001-09-10 23:37:46 +00:00
Jack Jansen 7b0494635b Prototype for PyMac_GetFullPathname(). 2001-09-10 22:09:30 +00:00
Tim Peters 7a50f2536e More for SF bug [#460020] bug or feature: unicode() and subclasses
Repair float constructor to return a true float when passed a subclass
instance.  New PyFloat_CheckExact macro.
2001-09-10 21:28:20 +00:00
Tim Peters 64b5ce3a69 SF bug #460020: bug or feature: unicode() and subclasses.
Given an immutable type M, and an instance I of a subclass of M, the
constructor call M(I) was just returning I as-is; but it should return a
new instance of M.  This fixes it for M in {int, long}.  Strings, floats
and tuples remain to be done.
Added new macros PyInt_CheckExact and PyLong_CheckExact, to more easily
distinguish between "is" and "is a" (i.e., only an int passes
PyInt_CheckExact, while any sublass of int passes PyInt_Check).
Added private API function _PyLong_Copy.
2001-09-10 20:52:51 +00:00
Guido van Rossum b875509310 PyModule_Check() now checks for subtype of module, as it should. 2001-09-10 18:21:59 +00:00
Tim Peters 16a77adfbd Generalize operator.indexOf (PySequence_Index) to work with any
iterable object.  I'm not sure how that got overlooked before!

Got rid of the internal _PySequence_IterContains, introduced a new
internal _PySequence_IterSearch, and rewrote all the iteration-based
"count of", "index of", and "is the object in it or not?" routines to
just call the new function.  I suppose it's slower this way, but the
code duplication was getting depressing.
2001-09-08 04:00:12 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 317e9f5ef1 Bumping version numbers. 2001-09-07 18:23:30 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 8bce4acb17 Rename 'getset' to 'property'. 2001-09-06 21:56:42 +00:00
Guido van Rossum b479dc561c Add PyMethod_Function(), PyMethod_Self(), PyMethod_Class() back.
While not even documented, they were clearly part of the C API,
there's no great difficulty to support them, and it has the cool
effect of not requiring any changes to ExtensionClass.c.
2001-09-05 22:52:50 +00:00
Tim Peters a40c793d06 Rework the way we try to check for libm overflow, given that C99 no longer
requires that errno ever get set, and it looks like glibc is already
playing that game.  New rules:

+ Never use HUGE_VAL.  Use the new Py_HUGE_VAL instead.

+ Never believe errno.  If overflow is the only thing you're interested in,
  use the new Py_OVERFLOWED(x) macro.  If you're interested in any libm
  errors, use the new Py_SET_ERANGE_IF_OVERFLOW(x) macro, which attempts
  to set errno the way C89 said it worked.

Unfortunately, none of these are reliable, but they work on Windows and I
*expect* under glibc too.
2001-09-05 22:36:56 +00:00
Tim Peters d893fd68bd Repair indentation. 2001-09-05 06:24:24 +00:00
Tim Peters 57f282a2a0 Try to recover from that glibc's ldexp apparently doesn't set errno on
overflow.  Needs testing on Linux (test_long.py and test_long_future.py
especially).
2001-09-05 05:38:10 +00:00
Tim Peters 7eea37e831 At Guido's suggestion, here's a new C API function, PyObject_Dir(), like
__builtin__.dir().  Moved the guts from bltinmodule.c to object.c.
2001-09-04 22:08:56 +00:00
Tim Peters a1c1b0f468 Introduce new private API function _PyLong_AsScaledDouble. Not used yet,
but will be the foundation for Good Things:
+ Speed PyLong_AsDouble.
+ Give PyLong_AsDouble the ability to detect overflow.
+ Make true division of long/long nearly as accurate as possible (no
  spurious infinities or NaNs).
+ Return non-insane results from math.log and math.log10 when passing a
  long that can't be approximated by a double better than HUGE_VAL.

Neil Schemenauer 49417e76d5 Fix the names of _PyObject_GC_TRACK and _PyObject_GC_UNTRACK when the GC is
disabled.  Obviously everyone enables the GC. :-)
2001-09-03 15:44:48 +00:00
Jack Jansen fabd00fa91 Added glue routine for PyMac_BuildFSSpec, PyMac_GetFSRef and PyMac_BuildFSRef.
Moved the declarations to pymactoolbox.h.
2001-09-01 23:39:58 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 393661d15f Add warning mode for classic division, almost exactly as specified in
PEP 238.  Changes:

- add a new flag variable Py_DivisionWarningFlag, declared in
  pydebug.h, defined in object.c, set in main.c, and used in
  {int,long,float,complex}object.c.  When this flag is set, the
  classic division operator issues a DeprecationWarning message.

- add a new API PyRun_SimpleStringFlags() to match
  PyRun_SimpleString().  The main() function calls this so that
  commands run with -c can also benefit from -Dnew.

- While I was at it, I changed the usage message in main() somewhat:
  alphabetized the options, split it in *four* parts to fit in under
  512 bytes (not that I still believe this is necessary -- doc strings
  elsewhere are much longer), and perhaps most visibly, don't display
  the full list of options on each command line error.  Instead, the
  full list is only displayed when -h is used, and otherwise a brief
  reminder of -h is displayed.  When -h is used, write to stdout so
  that you can do `python -h | more'.

Notes:

- I don't want to use the -W option to control whether the classic
  division warning is issued or not, because the machinery to decide
  whether to display the warning or not is very expensive (it involves
  calling into the warnings.py module).  You can use -Werror to turn
  the warnings into exceptions though.

- The -Dnew option doesn't select future division for all of the
  program -- only for the __main__ module.  I don't know if I'll ever
  change this -- it would require changes to the .pyc file magic
  number to do it right, and a more global notion of compiler flags.

- You can usefully combine -Dwarn and -Dnew: this gives the __main__
  module new division, and warns about classic division everywhere
  else.

Guido van Rossum 5eef77a21b Make the Py<type>_Check() macro use PyObject_TypeCheck(). 2001-08-30 03:08:07 +00:00
Neil Schemenauer 74b5ade6b8 Change the GC type flag since the API has changed. Allow types using
the old flag to still compile.  Remove the PyType_BASICSIZE and
PyType_SET_BASICSIZE macros.  Add PyObject_GC_New, PyObject_GC_NewVar,
PyObject_GC_Resize, PyObject_GC_Del, PyObject_GC_Track,
PyObject_GC_UnTrack.  Part of SF patch #421893.

Tim Peters 79248aa1e4 SF bug [#456252] Python should never stomp on [u]intptr_t.
pyport.h:  typedef a new Py_intptr_t type.
    DELICATE ASSUMPTION:  That HAVE_UINTPTR_T implies intptr_t is
    available as well as uintptr_t.  If that turns out not to be
    true, things must get uglier (C99 wants both, so I think it's
    an assumption we're *likely* to get away with).
thread_nt.h, PyThread_start_new_thread:  MS _beginthread is documented
    as returning unsigned long; no idea why uintptr_t was being used.
Others:  Always use Py_[u]intptr_t, never [u]intptr_t directly.
2001-08-29 21:37:10 +00:00
Guido van Rossum c16fcdf533 Make the PyXXX_Check() macros for the numeric types inheritance-aware. 2001-08-29 15:45:32 +00:00
Barry Warsaw dadace004b PyString_FromFormat() and PyString_FromFormatV(): Largely ripped from
PyErr_Format() these new C API methods can be used instead of
    sprintf()'s into hardcoded char* buffers.  This allows us to fix
    many situation where long package, module, or class names get
    truncated in reprs.

    PyString_FromFormat() is the varargs variety.
    PyString_FromFormatV() is the va_list variety

    Original PyErr_Format() code was modified to allow %p and %ld
    expansions.

    Many reprs were converted to this, checkins coming soo.  Not
    changed: complex_repr(), float_repr(), float_print(), float_str(),
    int_repr().  There may be other candidates not yet converted.

    Closes patch #454743.

Guido van Rossum 29a62dd6eb Add new built-in type 'getset' (PyGetSet_Type).
This implements the 'getset' class from test_binop.py.

Tim Peters e2c18e90da ceval, PyEval_MergeCompilerFlags: wasn't merging in the
CO_FUTURE_DIVISION flag.  Redid this to use Jeremy's PyCF_MASK #define
instead, so we dont have to remember to fiddle individual feature names
here again.

pythonrun.h:  Also #define a PyCF_MASK_OBSOLETE mask.  This isn't used
yet, but will be as part of the PEP 264 implementation (compile() mustn't
raise an error just because old code uses a flag name that's become
obsolete; a warning may be appropriate, but not an error; so compile() has
to know about obsolete flags too, but nobody is going to remember to
update compile() with individual obsolete flag names across releases either
-- i.e., this is the flip side of PyEval_MergeCompilerFlags's oversight).
2001-08-17 20:47:47 +00:00
Martin v. Löwis 339d0f720e Patch #445762: Support --disable-unicode
- Do not compile unicodeobject, unicodectype, and unicodedata if Unicode is disabled
- check for Py_USING_UNICODE in all places that use Unicode functions
- disables unicode literals, and the builtin functions
- add the types.StringTypes list
- remove Unicode literals from most tests.

Fred Drake d55657bdf2 Added comments before recently added/assigned slots in the type object,
so the backward compatibility issues will be easier to understand.  I only
added comments indicating additions and assignments back to Python 2.0.
2001-08-15 18:32:33 +00:00
Jeremy Hylton 910d7d46dc Remove much dead code from ceval.c
The descr changes moved the dispatch for calling objects from
call_object() in ceval.c to PyObject_Call() in abstract.c.
call_object() and the many functions it used in ceval.c were no longer
used, but were not removed.

Rename meth_call() as PyCFunction_Call() so that it can be called by
the CALL_FUNCTION opcode in ceval.c.

Also, fix error message that referred to PyEval_EvalCodeEx() by its
old name eval_code2().  (I'll probably refer to it by its old name,
too.)
2001-08-12 21:52:24 +00:00
Jeremy Hylton 1abf610b15 Remove st_nested_scopes from struct symtable,
because nested scopes are always enabled.

(Accidentally checked in one small change along this path yesterday,
wreaking havoc in the Windows build.)
2001-08-11 21:51:24 +00:00
Jeremy Hylton fdd12f66bb Refactor future feature handling
Replace individual slots in PyFutureFeatures with a single bitmask
with one field per feature.  The flags for this bitmask are the same
as the flags used in the co_flags slot of a code object.

    XXX This means we waste several bits, because they are used
    for co_flags but have no meaning for future statements.  Don't
    think this is an issue.

Remove the NESTED_SCOPES_DEFAULT define and others.  Not sure what
they were for anyway.

Remove all the PyCF_xxx flags, but define PyCF_MASK in terms of the
CO_xxx flags that are relevant for this release.

Change definition of PyCompilerFlags so that cf_flags matches
co_flags.
2001-08-10 21:38:04 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 05ac6de2d5 Add PyDict_Merge(a, b, override):
PyDict_Merge(a, b, 1) is the same as PyDict_Update(a, b).
PyDict_Merge(a, b, 0) does something similar but leaves existing items
unchanged.
2001-08-10 20:28:28 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 9b9c972abe Add new flags for PyType_Ready(): READY to explicitly indicate the
type is ready, and READYING to indicate that it is busy with the type.

A recursive call is a fatal error.
2001-08-10 17:37:02 +00:00
Tim Peters 772747b3f1 SF patch #438013 Remove 2-byte Py_UCS2 assumptions
Removed all instances of Py_UCS2 from the codebase, and so also (I hope)
the last remaining reliance on the platform having an integral type
with exactly 16 bits.
PyUnicode_DecodeUTF16() and PyUnicode_EncodeUTF16() now read and write
one byte at a time.
2001-08-09 22:21:55 +00:00

2001-08-08 18:24:45 +00:00
Jack Jansen 94bebc0381 Split macglue.c into two: a new mactoolboxglue.c (in ./Python)
with functionality needed for both unix-Python and MacPython and a
new smaller ./Mac/Python/macglue.c which contains MacPython stuff only.

pymactoolbox.h has moved to ./Include from ./Mac/Include and now also
contains the relevant stuff from macglue.h.

The net effect of this is that the ./Mac subdirectory is not needed
anymore for building the unix-Python core on MacOSX (it is needed
for building the extension modules).

Martin v. Löwis f9836ba4fe Put conditional S_ISDIR definition(s) into pyport.h. 2001-08-08 10:28:06 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 4668b000a1 Implement PEP 238 in its (almost) full glory.
This introduces:

- A new operator // that means floor division (the kind of division
  where 1/2 is 0).

- The "future division" statement ("from __future__ import division)
  which changes the meaning of the / operator to implement "true
  division" (where 1/2 is 0.5).

- New overloadable operators __truediv__ and __floordiv__.

- New slots in the PyNumberMethods struct for true and floor division,
  new abstract APIs for them, new opcodes, and so on.

I emphasize that without the future division statement, the semantics
of / will remain unchanged until Python 3.0.

Not yet implemented are warnings (default off) when / is used with int
or long arguments.

This has been on display since 7/31 as SF patch #443474.

Flames to /dev/null.
2001-08-08 05:00:18 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 528b7eb0b0 - Rename PyType_InitDict() to PyType_Ready().
- Add an explicit call to PyType_Ready(&PyList_Type) to pythonrun.c
  (just for the heck of it, really -- we should either explicitly
  ready all types, or none).

Marc-André Lemburg b5ac6f62c7 As discussed on python-dev: this patch adds name mangling to
assure that extensions and interpreters using the Unicode APIs
were compiled using the same Unicode width.

Marc-André Lemburg cecd9e0af3 va_list is defined in stdarg.h. 2001-07-31 14:23:52 +00:00
Marc-André Lemburg e5006ebc9d This patch turns the Python API mismatch notice into a standard
Python warning which can be catched by means of the Python warning
framework.

It also adds two new APIs which hopefully make it easier for Python
to switch to buffer overflow safe [v]snprintf() APIs for error
reporting et al. The two new APIs are PyOS_snprintf() and
PyOS_vsnprintf() and work just like the standard ones in many
C libs. On platforms which have snprintf(), the native APIs are used,
on all other an emulation with snprintf() tries to do its best.
2001-07-31 13:24:44 +00:00
Jeremy Hylton 3ce45389bd Add _PyUnicode_AsDefaultEncodedString to unicodeobject.h.
And remove all the extern decls in the middle of .c files.
Apparently, it was excluded from the header file because it is
intended for internal use by the interpreter.  It's still intended for
internal use and documented as such in the header file.

2001-07-18 16:17:16 +00:00
Tim Peters fe2127d3cb Ugly. A pile of new xxxFlags() functions, to communicate to the parser
that 'yield' is a keyword.  This doesn't help test_generators at all!  I
don't know why not.  These things do work now (and didn't before this
patch):

1. "from __future__ import generators" now works in a native shell.

2. Similarly "python -i xxx.py" now has generators enabled in the
   shell if xxx.py had them enabled.

3. This program (which was my doctest proxy) works fine:

from __future__ import generators

source = """\
def f():
    yield 1
"""

exec compile(source, "", "single") in globals()
print type(f())
2001-07-16 05:37:24 +00:00
Tim Peters 5ba5866281 Part way to allowing "from __future__ import generators" to communicate
that info to code dynamically compiled *by* code compiled with generators
enabled.  Doesn't yet work because there's still no way to tell the parser
that "yield" is OK (unlike nested_scopes, the parser has its fingers in
this too).
Replaced PyEval_GetNestedScopes by a more-general
PyEval_MergeCompilerFlags.  Perhaps I should not have?  I doubted it was
*intended* to be part of the public API, so just did.
2001-07-16 02:29:45 +00:00
Guido van Rossum b09f7ed623 Preliminary support for "from __future__ import generators" to enable
the yield statement.  I figure we have to have this in before I can
release 2.2a1 on Wednesday.

Note: test_generators is currently broken, I'm counting on Tim to fix
this.

Tim Peters 0d5dd68692 Python.h: Don't attempt to redefine NDEBUG if it's already defined.

Guido van Rossum b2c075bec4 Define NDEBUG when Py_DEBUG undefined, to disable the assert macro. 2001-07-15 16:58:05 +00:00
Guido van Rossum aa31429854 Enable nested scopes by default.
Although this is a one-character change, more work needs to be done:
the compiler can get rid of a lot of non-nested-scopes code, the
documentation needs to be updated, the future statement can be
simplified, etc.

But this change enables the nested scope semantics everywhere, and
that's the important part -- we can now test code for compatibility
with nested scopes by default.
2001-07-12 12:50:23 +00:00
Thomas Wouters efafcea280 Re-add 'advanced' xrange features, adding DeprecationWarnings as discussed
on python-dev. The features will still vanish, however, just one release
later.
2001-07-09 12:30:54 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 3f56166b1a Rip out the fancy behaviors of xrange that nobody uses: repeat, slice,
contains, tolist(), and the start/stop/step attributes.  This includes
removing the 4th ('repeat') argument to PyRange_New().
2001-07-05 13:27:48 +00:00
Fred Drake 9e3ad78444 This change adjusts the profiling/tracing support so that the common
path (with no profile/trace function) through eval_code2() and
eval_frame() avoids several checks.

In the common cases of calls, returns, and exception propogation,
eval_code2() and eval_frame() used to test two values in the
thread-state: the profiling function and the tracing function.  With
this change, a flag is set in the thread-state if either of these is
active, allowing a single check to suffice when both are NULL.  This
also simplifies the code needed when either function is in use but is
already active (to avoid profiling/tracing the profiler/tracer); the
flag is set to 0 when the profile/trace code is entered, allowing the
same check to suffice for "already in the tracer" for call/return/
exception events.
2001-07-03 23:39:52 +00:00
Fredrik Lundh 72b068566a removed "register const" from scalar arguments to the unicode
predicates
2001-06-27 22:08:26 +00:00
Fred Drake 55fb6e0371 Revise the interface to the profiling and tracing support for the
Python interpreter.

This change adds two new C-level APIs:  PyEval_SetProfile() and
PyEval_SetTrace().  These can be used to install profile and trace
functions implemented in C, which can operate at much higher speeds
than Python-based functions.  The overhead for calling a C-based
profile function is a very small fraction of a percent of the overhead
involved in calling a Python-based function.

The machinery required to call a Python-based profile or trace
function been moved to sysmodule.c, where sys.setprofile() and
sys.setprofile() simply become users of the new interface.

                    SIZEOF_WCHAR_T.
Define Py_UCS2.
Encode and decode large UTF-8 characters into single Py_UNICODE values
for wide Unicode types; likewise for UTF-16.
Remove test whether sizeof Py_UNICODE is two.
2001-06-26 22:22:37 +00:00
Fredrik Lundh 1294ad0c59 experimental UCS-4 support: added USE_UCS4_STORAGE define to
unicodeobject.h, which forces sizeof(Py_UNICODE) == sizeof(Py_UCS4).
(this may be good enough for platforms that doesn't have a 16-bit
type.  the UTF-16 codecs don't work, though)

Tim Peters 8c96369513 PyFrameObject: rename f_stackbottom to f_stacktop, since it points to
the next free valuestack slot, not to the base (in America, stacks push
and pop at the top -- they mutate at the bottom in Australia <winK>).
eval_frame():  assert that f_stacktop isn't NULL upon entry.
frame_delloc():  avoid ordered pointer comparisons involving f_stacktop
when f_stacktop is NULL.
2001-06-23 05:26:56 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 14e1871607 Somehow, under certain circumstances, config.h and rename1.h would pop back up.

Tim Peters a7259597f1 SF bug 433228: repr(list) woes when len(list) big.
Gave Python linear-time repr() implementations for dicts, lists, strings.
This means, e.g., that repr(range(50000)) is no longer 50x slower than
pprint.pprint() in 2.2 <wink>.

I don't consider this a bugfix candidate, as it's a performance boost.

Added _PyString_Join() to the internal string API.  If we want that in the
public API, fine, but then it requires runtime error checks instead of
asserts.
2001-06-16 05:11:17 +00:00
Tim Peters 2a9b367385 Two new private longobject API functions,
_PyLong_FromByteArray
    _PyLong_AsByteArray
Untested and probably buggy -- they compile OK, but nothing calls them
yet.  Will soon be called by the struct module, to implement x-platform
'q' and 'Q'.
If other people have uses for them, we could move them into the public API.
See longobject.h for usage details.

Marc-André Lemburg 489b56e044 This patch changes the behaviour of the UTF-16 codec family. Only the
UTF-16 codec will now interpret and remove a *leading* BOM mark. Sub-
sequent BOM characters are no longer interpreted and removed.
UTF-16-LE and -BE pass through all BOM mark characters.

These changes should get the UTF-16 codec more in line with what
the Unicode FAQ recommends w/r to BOM marks.
2001-05-21 20:30:15 +00:00
Marc-André Lemburg 2d9204199f This patch changes the way the string .encode() method works slightly
and introduces a new method .decode().

The major change is that strg.encode() will no longer try to convert
Unicode returns from the codec into a string, but instead pass along
the Unicode object as-is. The same is now true for all other codec
return types. The underlying C APIs were changed accordingly.

Note that even though this does have the potential of breaking
existing code, the chances are low since conversion from Unicode
previously took place using the default encoding which is normally
set to ASCII rendering this auto-conversion mechanism useless for
most Unicode encodings.

The good news is that you can now use .encode() and .decode() with
much greater ease and that the door was opened for better accessibility
of the builtin codecs.

As demonstration of the new feature, the patch includes a few new
codecs which allow string to string encoding and decoding (rot13,
hex, zip, uu, base64).

Tim Peters cb8d368b82 Reimplement PySequence_Contains() and instance_contains(), so they work

out into new private API function _PySequence_IterContains()).

__contains__ nor __iter__.  test_iter changed to ensure that remains true.

Tim Peters 6912d4ddf0 Generalize tuple() to work nicely with iterators.
NEEDS DOC CHANGES.
This one surprised me!  While I expected tuple() to be a no-brainer, turns
out it's actually dripping with consequences:
1. It will *allow* the popular PySequence_Fast() to work with any iterable
   object (code for that not yet checked in, but should be trivial).
2. It caused two std tests to fail.  This because some places used
   PyTuple_Sequence() (the C spelling of tuple()) as an indirect way to test
   whether something *is* a sequence.  But tuple() code only looked for the
   existence of sq->item to determine that, and e.g. an instance passed
   that test whether or not it supported the other operations tuple()
   needed (e.g., __len__).  So some things the tests *expected* to fail
   with an AttributeError now fail with a TypeError instead.  This looks
   like an improvement to me; e.g., test_coercion used to produce 559
   TypeErrors and 2 AttributeErrors, and now they're all TypeErrors.  The
   error details are more informative too, because the places calling this
   were *looking* for TypeErrors in order to replace the generic tuple()
   "not a sequence" msg with their own more specific text, and
   AttributeErrors snuck by that.

Tim Peters f4848dac41 Make PyIter_Next() a little smarter (wrt its knowledge of iterator
internals) so clients can be a lot dumber (wrt their knowledge).
2001-05-05 00:14:56 +00:00
Marc-André Lemburg 8155e0e541 This patch originated from an idea by Martin v. Loewis who submitted a
patch for sharing single character Unicode objects.

Martin's patch had to be reworked in a number of ways to take Unicode
resizing into consideration as well. Here's what the updated patch
implements:

* Single character Unicode strings in the Latin-1 range are shared
  (not only ASCII chars as in Martin's original patch).

* The ASCII and Latin-1 codecs make use of this optimization,
  providing a noticable speedup for single character strings. Most
  Unicode methods can use the optimization as well (by virtue
  of using PyUnicode_FromUnicode()).

* Some code cleanup was done (replacing memcpy with Py_UNICODE_COPY)

* The PyUnicode_Resize() can now also handle the case of resizing
  unicode_empty which previously resulted in an error.

* Modified the internal API _PyUnicode_Resize() and
  the public PyUnicode_Resize() API to handle references to
  shared objects correctly. The _PyUnicode_Resize() signature
  changed due to this.

* Callers of PyUnicode_FromUnicode() may now only modify the Unicode
  object contents of the returned object in case they called the API
  with NULL as content template.

Note that even though this patch passes the regression tests, there
may still be subtle bugs in the sharing code.
2001-04-23 14:44:21 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 213c7a6aa5 Mondo changes to the iterator stuff, without changing how Python code
sees it (test_iter.py is unchanged).

- Added a tp_iternext slot, which calls the iterator's next() method;
  this is much faster for built-in iterators over built-in types
  such as lists and dicts, speeding up pybench's ForLoop with about
  25% compared to Python 2.1.  (Now there's a good argument for
  iterators. ;-)

- Renamed the built-in sequence iterator SeqIter, affecting the C API
  functions for it.  (This frees up the PyIter prefix for generic
  iterator operations.)

- Added PyIter_Check(obj), which checks that obj's type has a
  tp_iternext slot and that the proper feature flag is set.

- Added PyIter_Next(obj) which calls the tp_iternext slot.  It has a
  somewhat complex return condition due to the need for speed: when it
  returns NULL, it may not have set an exception condition, meaning
  the iterator is exhausted; when the exception StopIteration is set
  (or a derived exception class), it means the same thing; any other
  exception means some other error occurred.

Guido van Rossum 05311481d4 Adding iterobject.[ch], which were accidentally not added. Sorry\! 2001-04-20 21:06:46 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 59d1d2b434 Iterators phase 1. This comprises:
new slot tp_iter in type object, plus new flag Py_TPFLAGS_HAVE_ITER
new C API PyObject_GetIter(), calls tp_iter
new builtin iter(), with two forms: iter(obj), and iter(function, sentinel)
new internal object types iterobject and calliterobject
new exception StopIteration
new opcodes for "for" loops, GET_ITER and FOR_ITER (also supported by dis.py)
new magic number for .pyc files
new special method for instances: __iter__() returns an iterator
iteration over dictionaries: "for x in dict" iterates over the keys
iteration over files: "for x in file" iterates over lines

TODO:

documentation
test suite
decide whether to use a different way to spell iter(function, sentinal)
decide whether "for key in dict" is a good idea
use iterators in map/filter/reduce, min/max, and elsewhere (in/not in?)
speed tuning (make next() a slot tp_next???)

method types.
2001-03-23 04:17:58 +00:00
Ka-Ping Yee b5c5132d1a Add sys.excepthook.
Update docstring and library reference section on 'sys' module.
New API PyErr_Display, just for displaying errors, called by excepthook.
Uncaught exceptions now call sys.excepthook; if that fails, we fall back
    to calling PyErr_Display directly.
Also comes with sys.__excepthook__ and sys.__displayhook__.
2001-03-23 02:46:52 +00:00
Fred Drake 4e262a9631 A small change to the C API for weakly-referencable types: Such types
must now initialize the extra field used by the weak-ref machinery to
NULL themselves, to avoid having to require PyObject_INIT() to check
if the type supports weak references and do it there.  This causes less
work to be done for all objects (the type object does not need to be
consulted to check for the Py_TPFLAGS_HAVE_WEAKREFS bit).

2001-03-22 03:57:58 +00:00
Jeremy Hylton bc32024769 Extend support for from __future__ import nested_scopes
If a module has a future statement enabling nested scopes, they are
also enable for the exec statement and the functions compile() and
execfile() if they occur in the module.

If Python is run with the -i option, which enters interactive mode
after executing a script, and the script it runs enables nested
scopes, they are also enabled in interactive mode.

XXX The use of -i with -c "from __future__ import nested_scopes" is
not supported.  What's the point?

To support these changes, many function variants have been added to
pythonrun.c.  All the variants names end with Flags and they take an
extra PyCompilerFlags * argument.  It is possible that this complexity
will be eliminated in a future version of the interpreter in which
nested scopes are not optional.
2001-03-22 02:47:58 +00:00
Jeremy Hylton 061d106a0f If a code object is compiled with nested scopes, define the CO_NESTED flag.

Jeremy Hylton 30c9f3991c Variety of small INC/DECREF patches that fix reported memory leaks
with free variables.  Thanks to Martin v. Loewis for finding two of
the problems.  This fixes SF buf 405583.

There is also a C API change: PyFrame_New() is reverting to its
pre-2.1 signature.  The change introduced by nested scopes was a
mistake.  XXX Is this okay between beta releases?

cell_clear(), the GC helper, must decref its reference to break
cycles.

frame_dealloc() must dealloc all cell vars and free vars in addition
to locals.

eval_code2() setup code must INCREF cells it copies out of the
closure.

The STORE_DEREF opcode implementation must DECREF the object it passes
to PyCell_Set().

Guido van Rossum f0ee4b20a9 RISCOS patch by dschwertberger 2001-03-02 06:10:17 +00:00
Jeremy Hylton 9f324e964e Useful future statement support for the interactive interpreter
(Also remove warning about module-level global decl, because we can't
distinguish from code passed to exec.)

Define PyCompilerFlags type contains a single element,
cf_nested_scopes, that is true if a nested scopes future statement has
been entered at the interactive prompt.

New API functions:
    PyNode_CompileFlags()
    PyRun_InteractiveOneFlags()
    -- same as their non Flags counterparts except that the take an
       optional PyCompilerFlags pointer

compile.c: In jcompile() use PyCompilerFlags argument.  If
    cf_nested_scopes is true, compile code with nested scopes.  If it
    is false, but the code has a valid future nested scopes statement,
    set it to true.

pythonrun.c: Create a new PyCompilerFlags object in
    PyRun_InteractiveLoop() and thread it through to
    PyRun_InteractiveOneFlags().

Jeremy Hylton 39e2f3f824 Presumed correct compiler pass for future statements
XXX still need to integrate into symtable API

compile.h: Remove ff_n_simple_stmt; obsolete.

           Add ff_found_docstring used internally to skip one and only
           one string at the beginning of a module.

compile.c: Add check for from __future__ imports to far into the file.

 	   In symtable_global() check for -1 returned from
	   symtable_lookup(), which signifies name not defined.

	   Add missing DECERF in symtable_add_def.

           Free c->c_future.

future.c:  Add special handling for multiple statements joined on a
	   single line using one or more semicolons; this form can
           include an illegal future statement that would otherwise be
           hard to detect.

	   Add support for detecting and skipping doc strings.

Jeremy Hylton 29906eef3a Preliminary support for future nested scopes
compile.h: #define NESTED_SCOPES_DEFAULT 0 for Python 2.1
           __future__ feature name: "nested_scopes"

symtable.h: Add st_nested_scopes slot.  Define flags to track exec and
    import star.

Lib/test/test_scope.py: requires nested scopes

compile.c: Fiddle with error messages.

    Reverse the sense of ste_optimized flag on
    PySymtableEntryObjects.  If it is true, there is an optimization
    conflict.

    Modify get_ref_type to respect st_nested_scopes flags.

    Refactor symtable_load_symbols() into several smaller functions,
    which use struct symbol_info to share variables.  In new function
    symtable_update_flags(), raise an error or warning for import * or
    bare exec that conflicts with nested scopes.  Also, modify handle
    for free variables to respect st_nested_scopes flag.

    In symtable_init() assign st_nested_scopes flag to
    NESTED_SCOPES_DEFAULT (defined in compile.h).

    Add preliminary and often incorrect implementation of
    symtable_check_future().

    Add symtable_lookup() helper for future use.

Barry Warsaw a903ad9855 _Py_ReleaseInternedStrings(): Private API function to decref and
release the interned string dictionary.  This is useful for memory
use debugging because it eliminates a huge source of noise from the

2001-02-23 16:40:48 +00:00
Jeremy Hylton cb17ae8b19 Relax the rules for using 'from ... import *' and exec in the presence
of nested functions.  Either is allowed in a function if it contains
no defs or lambdas or the defs and lambdas it contains have no free
variables.  If a function is itself nested and has free variables,
either is illegal.

Revise the symtable to use a PySymtableEntryObject, which holds all
the revelent information for a scope, rather than using a bunch of
st_cur_XXX pointers in the symtable struct.  The changes simplify the
internal management of the current symtable scope and of the stack.

Added new C source file: Python/symtable.c.  (Does the Windows build
process need to be updated?)

As part of these changes, the initial _symtable module interface
introduced in 2.1a2 is replaced.  A dictionary of
PySymtableEntryObjects are returned.

2001-02-02 20:01:10 +00:00
Jeremy Hylton 4b38da664c Move a bunch of definitions that were internal to compile.c to
symtable.h, so that they can be used by external module.

Improve error handling in symtable_enter_scope(), which return an
error code that went unchecked by most callers. XXX The error handling
in symtable code is sloppy in general.

Modify symtable to record the line number that begins each scope.
This can help to identify which code block is being referred to when
multiple blocks are bound to the same name.

Add st_scopes dict that is used to preserve scope info when
PyNode_CompileSymtable() is called.  Otherwise, this information is
tossed as soon as it is no longer needed.

Add Py_SymtableString() to pythonrun; analogous to Py_CompileString().
2001-02-02 18:19:15 +00:00

Jeremy Hylton 483638c9a8 Undo recent change that banned using import to bind a global, as per
discussion on python-dev.  'from mod import *' is still banned except
at the module level.

Fix value for special NOOPT entry in symtable.  Initialze to 0 instead
of None, so that later uses of PyInt_AS_LONG() are valid.  (Bug
reported by Donn Cave.)

Jeremy Hylton 2b724da8d9 Remove f_closure slot of frameobject and use f_localsplus instead.
This change eliminates an extra malloc/free when a frame with free
variables is created.  Any cell vars or free vars are stored in
f_localsplus after the locals and before the stack.

eval_code2() fills in the appropriate values after handling
initialization of locals.

To track the size the frame has an f_size member that tracks the total
size of f_localsplus. It used to be implicitly f_nlocals + f_stacksize.

Tim Peters d9b9ac855c It's unclear whether PyMarshal_XXX() are part of the public or private API.
They're named as if public, so I did a Bad Thing by changing
PyMarshal_ReadObjectFromFile() to suck up the remainder of the file in one
gulp:  anyone who counted on that leaving the file pointer merely at the
end of the next object would be screwed.  So restored
PyMarshal_ReadObjectFromFile() to its earlier state, renamed the new greedy
code to PyMarshal_ReadLastObjectFromFile(), and changed Python internals to
call the latter instead.

Jeremy Hylton 64949cb753 PEP 227 implementation
The majority of the changes are in the compiler.  The mainloop changes
primarily to implement the new opcodes and to pass a function's
closure to eval_code2().  Frames and functions got new slots to hold
the closure.

Include/compile.h
    Add co_freevars and co_cellvars slots to code objects.
    Update PyCode_New() to take freevars and cellvars as arguments
Include/funcobject.h
    Add func_closure slot to function objects.
    Add GetClosure()/SetClosure() functions (and corresponding
    macros) for getting at the closure.
Include/frameobject.h
    PyFrame_New() now takes a closure.
Include/opcode.h
    Add four new opcodes: MAKE_CLOSURE, LOAD_CLOSURE, LOAD_DEREF,
    STORE_DEREF.
    Remove comment about old requirement for opcodes to fit in 7
    bits.
compile.c
    Implement changes to code objects for co_freevars and co_cellvars.

    Modify symbol table to use st_cur_name (string object for the name
    of the current scope) and st_cur_children (list of nested blocks).
    Also define st_nested, which might more properly be called
    st_cur_nested.  Add several DEF_XXX flags to track def-use
    information for free variables.

    New or modified functions of note:
    com_make_closure(struct compiling *, PyCodeObject *)
        Emit LOAD_CLOSURE opcodes as needed to pass cells for free
        variables into nested scope.
    com_addop_varname(struct compiling *, int, char *)
        Emits opcodes for LOAD_DEREF and STORE_DEREF.
    get_ref_type(struct compiling *, char *name)
        Return NAME_CLOSURE if ref type is FREE or CELL
    symtable_load_symbols(struct compiling *)
        Decides what variables are cell or free based on def-use info.
        Can now raise SyntaxError if nested scopes are mixed with
        exec or from blah import *.
    make_scope_info(PyObject *, PyObject *, int, int)
        Helper functions for symtable scope stack.
    symtable_update_free_vars(struct symtable *)
        After a code block has been analyzed, it must check each of
        its children for free variables that are not defined in the
        block.  If a variable is free in a child and not defined in
        the parent, then it is defined by block the enclosing the
        current one or it is a global.  This does the right logic.
    symtable_add_use() is now a macro for symtable_add_def()
    symtable_assign(struct symtable *, node *)
        Use goto instead of for (;;)

    Fixed bug in symtable where name of keyword argument in function
    call was treated as assignment in the scope of the call site. Ex:
        def f():
            g(a=2) # a was considered a local of f

ceval.c
    eval_code2() now take one more argument, a closure.
    Implement LOAD_CLOSURE, LOAD_DEREF, STORE_DEREF, MAKE_CLOSURE>

    Also: When name error occurs for global variable, report that the
    name was global in the error mesage.

Objects/frameobject.c
    Initialize f_closure to be a tuple containing space for cellvars
    and freevars.  f_closure is NULL if neither are present.
Objects/funcobject.c
    Add support for func_closure.
Python/import.c
    Change the magic number.
Python/marshal.c
    Track changes to code objects.

Barry Warsaw d6a9e84c81 Committing PEP 232, function attribute feature, approved by Guido.
Closes SF patch #103123.

funcobject.h:

    PyFunctionObject: add the func_dict slot.

funcobject.c:

    PyFunction_New(): Initialize the func_dict slot to NULL.

    func_getattr(): Rename to func_getattro() and change the
    signature.  It's more efficient to use attro methods and dig the C
    string out than it is to re-convert a C string to a PyString.

    Also, add support for getting the __dict__ (a.k.a. func_dict)
    attribute, and for getting an arbitrary function attribute.

    func_setattr(): Rename to func_setattro() and change the signature
    for the same reason.  Also add support for setting __dict__
    (a.k.a. func_dict) and any arbitrary function attribute.

    func_dealloc(): Be sure to DECREF the func_dict slot.

    func_traverse(): Be sure to traverse func_dict too.

    PyFunction_Type: make the necessary func_?etattro() changes.

classobject.c:

    instancemethod_memberlist: Add __dict__

    instancemethod_setattro(): New method to set arbitrary attributes
    on methods (really the underlying im_func).  Raise TypeError when
    the instance is bound or when you're trying to set one of the
    reserved im_* attributes.

    instancemethod_getattr(): Renamed to instancemethod_getattro()
    since that's what it really is.  Also, added support fo getting
    arbitrary attributes through the im_func.

    PyMethod_Type: Do the ?etattr{,o} dance.

Thomas Wouters 2cffc7d420 Move our own getopt() implementation to _PyOS_GetOpt(), and use it
regardless of whether the system getopt() does what we want. This avoids the
hassle with prototypes and externs, and the check to see if the system
getopt() does what we want. Prefix optind, optarg and opterr with _PyOS_ to
avoid name clashes. Add new include file to define the right symbols. Fix
Demo/pyserv/pyserv.c to include getopt.h itself, instead of relying on
Python to provide it.

Jeremy Hylton 1e75e816e0 bump patchlevel to 2.0c1 2000-10-09 15:13:47 +00:00
Marc-André Lemburg 77317ca7dc Added Py_FPROTO macro which was available in Python 1.5.x and below.
This should not be used for new code, but will probably make porting
old extensions to 2.0 a lot easier.

Also see Bug #116011.

Tim Peters d57731f74b Move LONG_BIT from intobject.c to pyport.h. #error if it's already been
#define'd to an unreasonable value (several recent gcc systems have
misdefined it, causing bogus overflows in integer multiplication).  Nuke
CHAR_BIT entirely.

Fred Drake d5fadf75e4 Rationalize use of limits.h, moving the inclusion to Python.h.
Add definitions of INT_MAX and LONG_MAX to pyport.h.
Remove includes of limits.h and conditional definitions of INT_MAX
and LONG_MAX elsewhere.

This closes SourceForge patch #101659 and bug #115323.
