Brett Cannon c4f90ebea7 PyImport_AppendInittab() took a char * as a first argument even though that
string was stored beyond the life of the call. Changed the signature to be
const char * to help make this point.

Gregory P. Smith 0470bab697 Issue #2620: Overflow checking when allocating or reallocating memory
was not always being done properly in some python types and extension
modules.  PyMem_MALLOC, PyMem_REALLOC, PyMem_NEW and PyMem_RESIZE have
all been updated to perform better checks and places in the code that
would previously leak memory on the error path when such an allocation
failed have been fixed.

Gregory P. Smith aa63d0d4af Make file objects as thread safe as the underlying libc FILE* implementation.
close() will now raise an IOError if any operations on the file object
are currently in progress in other threads.

Most code was written by Antoine Pitrou (pitrou).  Additional testing,
documentation and test suite cleanup done by me (gregory.p.smith).

Fixes issue 815646 and 595601 (as well as many other bugs and
references to this problem dating back to the dawn of Python).

Christian Heimes 422051a367 Patch #1953
I implemented the function sys._compact_freelists() and C API functions PyInt_/PyFloat_CompactFreeList() to compact the pre-allocated blocks of ints and floats. They allow the user to reduce the memory usage of a Python process that deals with lots of numbers.
The patch also renames sys._cleartypecache to sys._clear_type_cache
2008-02-04 18:00:12 +00:00
Amaury Forgeot d'Arc cab3d98ca1 Ensure that PySet_Add() operates on a newly created frozenset, like PyTuple_SetItem does.

I added a simple C API as well, PySignal_SetWakeupFd(fd).
