SF patch #1630975: Fix crash when replacing sys.stdout in sitecustomize
When running the interpreter in an environment that would cause it to set
stdout/stderr/stdin's encoding, having a sitecustomize that would replace
them with something other than PyFile objects would crash the interpreter.
Fix it by simply ignoring the encoding-setting for non-files.
This could do with a test, but I can think of no maintainable and portable
way to test this bug, short of adding a sitecustomize.py to the buildsystem
and have it always run with it (hmmm....)
Prevent crash on shutdown which can occur if we are finalizing
and the module dict has been cleared already and some object
raises a warning (like in a __del__).
Fix bug #1565514, SystemError not raised on too many nested blocks.
It seems like this should be a different error than SystemError, but
I don't have any great ideas and SystemError was raised in 2.4 and earlier.
Add some asserts. In sysmodule, I think these were to try to silence
some warnings from Klokwork. They verify the assumptions of the format
of svn version output.
The assert in the thread module helped debug a problem on HP-UX.
* unified the way intobject, longobject and mystrtoul handle
values around -sys.maxint-1.
* in general, trying to entierely avoid overflows in any computation
involving signed ints or longs is extremely involved. Fixed a few
simple cases where a compiler might be too clever (but that's all
guesswork).
* more overflow checks against bad data in marshal.c.
* 2.5 specific: fixed a number of places that were still confusing int
and Py_ssize_t. Some of them could potentially have caused
"real-world" breakage.
* list.pop(x): fixing overflow issues on x was messy. I just reverted
to PyArg_ParseTuple("n"), which does the right thing. (An obscure
test was trying to give a Decimal to list.pop()... doesn't make
sense any more IMHO)
* trying to write a few tests...
Bug #1557232: fix seg fault with def f((((x)))) and def f(((x),)).
These tests should be improved. Hopefully this fixes variations when
flipping back and forth between fpdef and fplist.
_PyGILState_NoteThreadState was declared as static inconsistently.
Make it static as it's not necessary outside of this module.
Some tests failed because errno was reset to 0. (I think the tests
that failed were at least: test_fcntl and test_mailbox).
Ensure that errno doesn't change after a call to Py_END_ALLOW_THREADS.
This only affected debug builds.
This needs to be ported to HEAD. I'll try to remember to do that tomorrow.
(Anyone, feel free to port it.)
generator expressions (x for x, in ... ) works again.
Sigh, I only fixed for loops the first time, not list comps and genexprs too.
I couldn't find any more unpacking cases where there is a similar bug lurking.
I modified this patch some by fixing style, some error checking, and adding
XXX comments. This patch requires review and some changes are to be expected.
I'm checking in now to get the greatest possible review and establish a
baseline for moving forward. I don't want this to hold up release if possible.
However, there was no error checking that PyFloat_FromDouble returned
a valid pointer. I believe this change is correct as it seemed
to follow other code in the area.
Klocwork # 292.
there was no verification that privateobj was a PyString. If it wasn't
a string, this could have allowed a NULL pointer to creep in below and crash.
I wonder if this should be PyString_CheckExact? Must identifiers be strings
or can they be subclasses?
Klocwork #275
This is the first batch of fixes that should be easy to verify based on context.
This fixes problem numbers: 220 (ast), 323-324 (symtable),
321-322 (structseq), 215 (array), 210 (hotshot), 182 (codecs), 209 (etree).
PyThreadState_SetAsyncExc(): internal correctness changes wrt
refcount safety and deadlock avoidance. Also added a basic test
case (relying on ctypes) and repaired the docs.
on each iteration. I'm not positive this is the best way to handle
this. I'm also not sure that there aren't other cases where
the lnotab is generated incorrectly. It would be great if people
that use pdb or tracing could test heavily.
Also:
* Remove dead/duplicated code that wasn't used/necessary
because we already handled the docstring prior to entering the loop.
* add some debugging code into the compiler (#if 0'd out).
This provides the proper warning for struct.pack().
PyErr_Warn() is now deprecated in favor of PyErr_WarnEx().
As mentioned by Tim Peters on python-dev.
with PEP 302. This was fixed by adding an ``imp.NullImporter`` type that is
used in ``sys.path_importer_cache`` to cache non-directory paths and avoid
excessive filesystem operations during imports.
In general, C doesn't define anything about what happens when
an operation on a signed integral type overflows, and PyOS_strtol()
did several formally undefined things of that nature on signed
longs. Some version of gcc apparently tries to exploit that now,
and PyOS_strtol() could fail to detect overflow then.
Tried to repair all that, although it seems at least as likely to me
that we'll get screwed by bad platform definitions for LONG_MIN
and/or LONG_MAX now. For that reason, I don't recommend backporting
this.
Note that I have no box on which this makes a lick of difference --
can't really test it, except to note that it didn't break anything
on my boxes.
Silent change: PyOS_strtol() used to return the hard-coded 0x7fffffff
in case of overflow. Now it returns LONG_MAX. They're the same only on
32-bit boxes (although C doesn't guarantee that either ...).
