in release builds. Suggested by Martin v. Loewis.
I'm half tempted to macroize PyErr_Occurred too, as the whole thing could
collapse to just
_PyThreadState_Current->curexc_type
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().
return 0 (exceptions don't match). This means that if an ImportError
is raised because exceptions.py can't be imported, the interpreter
will exit "cleanly" with an error message instead of just core
dumping.
PyErr_SetFromErrnoWithFilename(), PyErr_SetFromWindowsErrWithFilename():
Don't test on Py_UseClassExceptionsFlag.
* Changes to a recent patch by Chris Tismer to errors.c. Chris' patch
always used FormatMessage() to get the error message passing the error code
from errno - but errno and FormatMessage use a different numbering scheme.
The main reason the patch looked OK was that ENOFILE==ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND -
but that is about the only shared error code :-). The MS CRT docs tell you
to use _sys_errlist()/_sys_nerr. My patch does also this, and adds a very
similar function specifically for win32 error codes.
an exception from errno, with a supplied filename (primarily used by
IOError and OSError). If class exceptions are used then the exception
is instantiated with a 3-tuple: (errno, strerror, filename). For
backwards compatibility reasons, if string exceptions are used,
filename is ignored.
PyErr_SetFromErrno(): Implement in terms of
PyErr_SetFromErrnoWithFilename().
(PyExc_MemoryErrorInst) raise this instead of PyExc_MemoryError. This
only happens when exception classes are enabled (e.g. when Python is
started with -X).
- int PyErr_GivenExceptionMatches(obj1, obj2)
Returns 1 if obj1 and obj2 are the same object, or if obj1 is an
instance of type obj2, or of a class derived from obj2
- int PyErr_ExceptionMatches(obj)
Higher level wrapper around PyErr_GivenExceptionMatches() which uses
PyErr_Occurred() as obj1. This will be the more commonly called
function.
- void PyErr_NormalizeException(typeptr, valptr, tbptr)
Normalizes exceptions, and places the normalized values in the
arguments. If type is not a class, this does nothing. If type is a
class, then it makes sure that value is an instance of the class by:
1. if instance is of the type, or a class derived from type, it does
nothing.
2. otherwise it instantiates the class, using the value as an
argument. If value is None, it uses an empty arg tuple, and if
the value is a tuple, it uses just that.
bltinmodule.c: fixed coerce() nightmare in ternary pow().
modsupport.c (initmodule2): pass METH_FREENAME flag to newmethodobject().
pythonrun.c: move flushline() into and around print_error().
