In rare cases of strings specifying true values near sys.maxint,
and oddball bases (not decimal or a power of 2), int(string, base)
could deliver insane answers. This repairs all such problems, and
also speeds string->int significantly. On my box, here are %
speedups for decimal strings of various lengths:
length speedup
------ -------
1 12.4%
2 15.7%
3 20.6%
4 28.1%
5 33.2%
6 37.5%
7 41.9%
8 46.3%
9 51.2%
10 19.5%
11 19.9%
12 23.9%
13 23.7%
14 23.3%
15 24.9%
16 25.3%
17 28.3%
18 27.9%
19 35.7%
Note that the difference between 9 and 10 is the difference between
short and long Python ints on a 32-bit box. The patch doesn't
actually do anything to speed conversion to long: the speedup is
due to detecting "unsigned long" overflow more quickly.
This is a bugfix candidate, but it's a non-trivial patch and it
would be painful to separate the "bug fix" from the "speed up" parts.
The new char-array used in ioctl calls wasn't explicitly NUL-terminated;
quite probably the cause for the test_pty failures on Solaris that we
circumvented earlier. (I wasn't able to reproduce it with this patch, but it
has been somewhat elusive to start with.)
the 2005 Summer of Code).
The revision adds a number of new mailbox classes that support adding
and removing messages; these classes also support mailbox locking and
default to using email.Message instead of rfc822.Message.
The old mailbox classes are largely left alone for backward compatibility.
The exception is the Maildir class, which was present in the old module
and now inherits from the new classes. The Maildir class's interface
is pretty simple, though, so I think it'll be compatible with existing
code.
(The change to the NEWS file also adds a missing word to a different
news item, which unfortunately required rewrapping the line.)
This was a fair amount of rework of the patch. Refactored test_fork1 so it
could be reused by the new tests for wait3/4. Also made them into new style
unittests (derive from unittest.TestCase).
This was started by Mike Bland and completed by Guido
(with help from Neal).
This still needs a __future__ statement added;
Thomas is working on Michael's patch for that aspect.
There's a small amount of code cleanup and refactoring
in ast.c, compile.c and ceval.c (I fixed the lltrace
behavior when EXT_POP is used -- however I had to make
lltrace a static global).
This change implements a new bytecode compiler, based on a
transformation of the parse tree to an abstract syntax defined in
Parser/Python.asdl.
The compiler implementation is not complete, but it is in stable
enough shape to run the entire test suite excepting two disabled
tests.
SF patch #1015989
The basic idea of this patch is to compute lineno attributes for all AST nodes. The actual
implementation lead to a lot of restructing and code cleanup.
The generated AST nodes now have an optional lineno argument to constructor. Remove the
top-level asList(), since it didn't seem to serve any purpose. Add an __iter__ to ast nodes.
Use isinstance() instead of explicit type tests.
Change transformer to use the new lineno attribute, which replaces three lines of code with one.
Use universal newlines so that we can get rid of special-case code for line endings. Use
lookup_node() in a few more frequently called, but simple com_xxx methods(). Change string
exception to class exception.
