pickle.py
The code implicitly assumed that all ints fit in 4 bytes, causing all
sorts of mischief (from nonsense results to corrupted pickles).
Repaired that.
marshal.c
The int marshaling code assumed that right shifts of signed longs
sign-extend. Repaired that.
Jeffery Collins pointed out that filterstring decrefs a character object
before it's done using it. This works by accident today because another
module always happens to have an active reference too at the time. The
accident doesn't work after his Pippy modifications, and since it *is*
an accident even in the mainline Python, it should work by design there too.
The patch accomplishes that.
but apparently he had to go to school, so I am checking it in for him.
This makes PyRun_HandleSystemExit() a static instead, called
handle_system_exit(), and let it use the current exception rather than
passing in an exception. This slightly simplifies the code.
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__.
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.
frees. Note there doesn't seem to be any way to test LocalsToFast(),
because the instructions that trigger it are illegal in nested scopes
with free variables.
Fix allocation strategy for cells that are also formal parameters.
Instead of emitting LOAD_FAST / STORE_DEREF pairs for each parameter,
have the argument handling code in eval_code2() do the right thing.
A side-effect of this change is that cell variables that are also
arguments are listed at the front of co_cellvars in the order they
appear in the argument list.
has a binding for the name. The fix is in two places:
- in symtable_update_free_vars, ignore a global stmt in a class scope
- in symtable_load_symbols, add extra handling for names that are
defined at class scope and free in a method
Closes SF bug 407800
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().
Made sure that the warnings issued by symtable_check_unoptimized()
(about import * and exec) contain the proper filename and line number,
and are transformed into SyntaxError exceptions with -Werror.
(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().
the more recent versions of that platform, so we use the value (time_t)(-1)
as the error value. This is the type used in the OpenVMS documentation:
http://www.openvms.compaq.com/commercial/c/5763p048.htm#inde
This closes SF tracker bug #404240.
Also clean up an exception message when detecting overflow of time_t values
beyond 4 bytes.
from __future__ import nested_scopes
x=7
def f():
x=1
def g():
global x
def i():
def h():
return x
return h()
return i()
return g()
print f()
print x
This kind of code didn't work correctly because x was treated as free
in i, leading to an attempt to load x in g to make a closure for i.
Solution is to make global decl apply to nested scopes unless their is
an assignment. Thus, x in h is global.
described in PEP 227.
symtable_check_unoptimized() warns about import * and exec with "in"
when it is used in a function that contains a nested function with
free variables. Warnings are issued unless nested scopes are in
effect, in which case these are SyntaxErrors.
symtable_check_shadow() warns about assignments in a function scope
that shadow free variables defined in a nested scope. This will
always generate a warning -- and will behave differently with nested
scopes than without.
Restore full checking for free vars in children, even when nested
scopes are not enabled. This is needed to support warnings for
shadowing.
Change symtable_warn() to return an int-- the return value of
PyErr_WarnExplicit.
Sundry cleanup: Remove commented out code. Break long lines.
global after assign / use.
Note: I'm not updating the PyErr_Warn() call for import * / exec
combined with a function, because I can't trigger it with an example.
Jeremy, just follow the example of the call to PyErr_WarnExplicit()
that I *did* include.
for errors raised in future.c.
Move some helper functions from compile.c to errors.c and make them
API functions: PyErr_SyntaxLocation() and PyErr_ProgramText().
raised by the compiler.
XXX For now, text entered into the interactive intepreter is not
printed in the traceback.
Inspired by a patch from Roman Sulzhyk
compile.c:
Add helper fetch_program_text() that opens a file and reads until it
finds the specified line number. The code is a near duplicate of
similar code in traceback.c.
Modify com_error() to pass two arguments to SyntaxError constructor,
where the second argument contains the offending text when possible.
Modify set_error_location(), now used only by the symtable pass, to
set the text attribute on existing exceptions.
pythonrun.c:
Change parse_syntax_error() to continue of the offset attribute of a
SyntaxError is None. In this case, it sets offset to -1.
Move code from PyErr_PrintEx() into helper function
print_error_text(). In the helper, only print the caret for a
SyntaxError if offset > 0.
