Thomas Heller 57adf22f6e issue #3554: ctypes.string_at and ctypes.wstring_at must use the
pythonapi calling convention so that the GIL is held and error return
values are checked.

Brett Cannon bf3157b8e0 Silence the DeprecationWarning of rfc822 triggered by its importation in
mimetools.

This has an unfortunate side-effect of potentially not letting any warning
about rfc822's deprecation be seen by user-visible code if rfc822 is not
imported before mimetools. This is because modules are cached in sys.modules
and thus do not have their deprecation triggered more than once. But this
silencing would have happened by other code that silences the use of mimetools
or rfc822 anyway in the stdlib or user code, and thus seems justified to be
done here.

Martin v. Löwis f91d46a17d Issue #3139: Make buffer-interface thread-safe wrt. PyArg_ParseTuple,
by denying s# to parse objects that have a releasebuffer procedure,

Brett Cannon 9fc5631be6 Silence warnings in csv about using reduce() when run under -3 by using
functools.reduce() instead.
2008-08-09 23:39:11 +00:00
Brett Cannon 46265860c2 Use functools.reduce() in difflib instead of __builtin__.reduce() to silence
warnings when running under -3.
2008-08-09 23:34:11 +00:00
Brett Cannon 83e818415a Copy reduce() to _functools so to have functools.reduce() not raise a warning
from usage under -3.
2008-08-09 23:30:55 +00:00
Brett Cannon c1b76e4aaa Suppress the warning in asynchat from using buffer() when running udner -3.
Naively removing the usage causes a large number of test failures, so it was
just easier to suppress the warning.

Brett Cannon 3f92bc6f48 Remove buffer() usage in the socket module by just slicing directly on the
object. This removes all warnings for the module caused by running under -3.
2008-08-08 04:27:28 +00:00
Brett Cannon 03446c43ca Remove warnings generated for the suprocess module when run under -3. Required
commenting out True/False compatbility stuff, remove a use of apply(), and
remove a use of buffer() (just pulled the solution used in 3.0 which is direct
slicing).
2008-08-08 04:19:32 +00:00
Brett Cannon 3aa2a49ec9 Add imp.reload(). This to help with transitioning to 3.0 the reload() built-in

Brett Cannon 7e30b67bf4 Add a note about all the modules/packages changed to silence -3 warnings. More
changes are needed once some decisions are made, but this is the work up to this
point.

Mark Dickinson b646757e01 Issue #1481296: (again!) Make conversion of a float NaN to an int or

'integer', so that it's appropriate for both long(float('inf')) and
int(float('inf')).

was not always being done properly in some python types and extension

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 b90f4e8730 fix issue3120 - don't truncate handles on 64-bit Windows.
This is still messy, realistically PC/_subprocess.c should never cast pointers
to python numbers and back at all.

I don't have a 64-bit windows build environment because microsoft apparently
thinks that should cost money.  Time to watch the buildbots.  It builds and
passes tests on 32-bit windows.

Amaury Forgeot d'Arc 1f40c8a8d7 #Issue3088 in-progress: Race condition with instances of classes derived from threading.local:
When a thread touches such an object for the first time, a new thread-local __dict__ is created,
and the __init__ method is run.
But a thread switch can occur here; if the other thread touches the same object, it installs another
__dict__; when the first thread resumes, it updates the dictionary of the second...

This is the deep cause of the failures in test_multiprocessing involving "managers" objects.

Also a 2.5 backport candidate.

Thomas Heller fbb9c0bf3c Issue #1798: Add ctypes calling convention that allows safe access of errno.
ctypes maintains thread-local storage that has space for two error
numbers: private copies of the system 'errno' value and, on Windows,
the system error code accessed by the GetLastError() and
SetLastError() api functions.

Foreign functions created with CDLL(..., use_errno=True), when called,
swap the system 'errno' value with the private copy just before the
actual function call, and swapped again immediately afterwards.  The
'use_errno' parameter defaults to False, in this case 'ctypes_errno'
is not touched.

On Windows, foreign functions created with CDLL(...,
use_last_error=True) or WinDLL(..., use_last_error=True) swap the
system LastError value with the ctypes private copy.

The values are also swapped immeditately before and after ctypes
callback functions are called, if the callbacks are constructed using
the new optional use_errno parameter set to True: CFUNCTYPE(...,
use_errno=TRUE) or WINFUNCTYPE(..., use_errno=True).

New ctypes functions are provided to access the ctypes private copies
from Python:

- ctypes.set_errno(value) and ctypes.set_last_error(value) store
  'value' in the private copy and returns the previous value.

- ctypes.get_errno() and ctypes.get_last_error() returns the current
  ctypes private copies value.

Ronald Oussoren 5640ce2f1e MacOS X: Enable 4-way universal builds
This patch adds a new configure argument on OSX:
        --with-universal-archs=[32-bit|64-bit|all]

When used with the --enable-universalsdk option this controls which
CPU architectures are includes in the framework. The default is 32-bit,
meaning i386 and ppc. The most useful alternative is 'all', which includes
all 4 CPU architectures supported by MacOS X (i386, ppc, x86_64 and ppc64).

This includes limited support for the Carbon bindings in 64-bit mode as well,
limited because (a) I haven't done extensive testing and (b) a large portion
of the Carbon API's aren't available in 64-bit mode anyway.

I've also duplicated a feature of Apple's build of python: setting the
environment variable 'ARCHFLAGS' controls the '-arch' flags used for building
extensions using distutils.

Thomas Heller d5bb9215c9 Revert revisions 63943 and 63942 (Issue #1798: Add ctypes calling

This code does not yet work on OS X (__thread storage specifier not
available), so i needs a configure check plus a more portable
solution.

Thomas Heller e70c3378c0 Issue #1798: Add ctypes calling convention that allows safe access to
errno (and LastError, on Windows).

ctypes maintains a module-global, but thread-local, variable that
contains an error number; called 'ctypes_errno' for this discussion.
This variable is a private copy of the systems 'errno' value; the copy
is swapped with the 'errno' variable on several occasions.

Foreign functions created with CDLL(..., use_errno=True), when called,
swap the values just before the actual function call, and swapped
again immediately afterwards.  The 'use_errno' parameter defaults to
False, in this case 'ctypes_errno' is not touched.

The values are also swapped immeditately before and after ctypes
callback functions are called, if the callbacks are constructed using
the new optional use_errno parameter set to True: CFUNCTYPE(..., use_errno=TRUE)
or WINFUNCTYPE(..., use_errno=True).

Two new ctypes functions are provided to access the 'ctypes_errno'
value from Python:

- ctypes.set_errno(value) sets ctypes_errno to 'value', the previous
  ctypes_errno value is returned.

- ctypes.get_errno() returns the current ctypes_errno value.

---

On Windows, the same scheme is implemented for the error value which
is managed by the GetLastError() and SetLastError() windows api calls.

The ctypes functions are 'ctypes.set_last_error(value)' and
'ctypes.get_last_error()', the CDLL and WinDLL optional parameter is
named 'use_last_error', defaults to False.

---

On Windows, TlsSetValue and TlsGetValue calls are used to provide
thread local storage for the variables; ctypes compiled with __GNUC__
uses __thread variables.
