error handers in the Unicode codecs: Negative
positions are treated as being relative to the end of
the input and out of bounds positions result in an
IndexError.
Also update the PEP and include an explanation of
this in the documentation for codecs.register_error.
Fixes a small bug in iconv_codecs: if the position
from the callback is negative *add* it to the size
instead of substracting it.
From SF patch #677429.
From:
69.73% of 294 source lines executed in file ./Modules/_codecsmodule.c
79.47% of 487 source lines executed in file Python/codecs.c
78.45% of 3643 source lines executed in file Objects/unicodeobject.c
To:
70.41% of 294 source lines executed in file ./Modules/_codecsmodule.c
82.75% of 487 source lines executed in file Python/codecs.c
80.76% of 3638 source lines executed in file Objects/unicodeobject.c
This actually unearthed a bug in the handling of None
values in PyUnicode_EncodeCharmap.
