speed up splitlines and strip with charsets; etc. rsplit is now as
fast as split in all our tests (reverse takes no time at all), and
splitlines() is nearly as fast as a plain split("\n") in our tests.
and we're not done yet... ;-)
Applied patch zombie-frames-2.diff from sf patch 876206 with updates for
Python 2.5 and also modified to retain the free_list to avoid the 67%
slow-down in pybench recursion test. 5% speed up in function call pybench.
compiler warnings on Windows (signed vs unsigned mismatch
in comparisons). Cleaned that up by switching more locals
to Py_ssize_t. Simplified overflow checking (it can _be_
simpler because while these things are declared as
Py_ssize_t, then should in fact never be negative).
about "%u", "%lu" and "%zu" formats.
Since PyString_FromFormat and PyErr_Format have exactly the same rules
(both inherited from PyString_FromFormatV), it would be good if someone
with more LaTeX Fu changed one of them to just point to the other.
Their docs were way out of synch before this patch, and I just did a
mass copy+paste to repair that.
Not a backport candidate (this is a new feature).
longobject.c: also fix an ssize_t problem
<a> could have been NULL, so hoist the size calc to not use <a>.
_ssl.c: under fail: self is DECREF'd, but it would have been NULL.
_elementtree.c: delete self if there was an error.
_csv.c: I'm not sure if lineterminator could have been anything other than
a string. However, other string method calls are checked, so check this
one too.
discussion.
There are two places of documentation that still mention __context__:
Doc/lib/libstdtypes.tex -- I wasn't quite sure how to rewrite that without
spending a whole lot of time thinking about it; and whatsnew, which Andrew
usually likes to change himself.
__delitem__, __setslice__ and __delslice__ hooks. This caused test_weakref
and test_userlist to fail in the p3yk branch (where UserList, like all
classes, is new-style) on amd64 systems, with open-ended slices: the
sys.maxint value for empty-endpoint was transformed into -1.
zfill stringmethods, so they can create strings larger than 2Gb on 64bit
systems (even win64.) The unicode versions of these methods already did this
right.
slot_tp_del(), but while the latter had to cater to types
that don't participate in GC, we know that generators do.
That allows strengthing an assert().
using a custom, nearly-identical macro. This probably changes how some of
these functions are compiled, which may result in fractionally slower (or
faster) execution. Considering the nature of traversal, visiting much of the
address space in unpredictable patterns, I'd argue the code readability and
maintainability is well worth it ;P
- In functions where we already hold the same object in differently typed
pointers, use the correctly typed pointer instead of casting the other
pointer a second time.
objects before initializing it. It might be linked
already if there was a Py_Initialize/Py_Finalize
cycle earlier; not unlinking it would break the global
list.
Py_VISIT: cast the `op` argument to PyObject* when calling
`visit()`. Else the caller has to pay too much attention to
this silly detail (e.g., frame_traverse needs to traverse
`struct _frame *` and `PyCodeObject *` pointers too).
problems: first, PyGen_NeedsFinalizing() had an off-by-one bug that
prevented it from ever saying a generator didn't need finalizing, and
second, frame objects cleared themselves in a way that caused their
owning generator to think they were still executable, causing a double
deallocation of objects on the value stack if there was still a loop
on the block stack. This revision also removes some unnecessary
close() operations from test_generators that are now appropriately
handled by the cycle collector.
to avoid confusing situations like:
>>> int("")
ValueError: invalid literal for int():
>>> int("2\n\n2")
ValueError: invalid literal for int(): 2
2
Also report the base used, to avoid:
ValueError: invalid literal for int(): 2
They now report:
>>> int("")
ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: ''
>>> int("2\n\n2")
ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: '2\n\n2'
>>> int("2", 2)
ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 2: '2'
(Reporting the base could be avoided when base is 10, which is the default,
but hrm.) Another effect of these changes is that the errormessage can be
longer; before, it was cut off at about 250 characters. Now, it can be up to
four times as long, as the unrepr'ed string is cut off at 200 characters,
instead.
No tests were added or changed, since testing for exact errormsgs is (pardon
the pun) somewhat errorprone, and I consider not testing the exact text
preferable. The actually changed code is tested frequent enough in the
test_builtin test as it is (120 runs for each of ints and longs.)
interpolate PY_FORMAT_SIZE_T for refcount display
instead of casting refcounts to long.
I understand that gcc on some boxes delivers
nuisance warnings about this, but if any new ones
appear because of this they'll get fixed by magic
when the others get fixed.
PyTypeObject structures, I had to make prototypes for the functions, and
move the structure definition ahead of the functions. I'd dearly like a better
way to do this - to change this would make for a massive set of changes to
the codebase.
There's still some warnings - this is purely to get rid of errors first.
that are suspended outside of any try/except/finally blocks to be
garbage collected even if they are part of a cycle. Generators that
suspend inside of an active try/except or try/finally block (including
those created by a ``with`` statement) are still not GC-able if they
are part of a cycle, however.
least as big as a long. I believe this to be a safe assumption that is being
made in many parts of CPython, but a check could be added.
len(xrange(sys.maxint)) works now, so fix the testsuite's odd exception for
64-bit platforms too. It also fixes 'zip(xrange(sys.maxint), it)' as a
portable-ish (if expensive) alternative to enumerate(it); since zip() now
calls len(), this was breaking on (real) 64-bit platforms. No additional
test was added for that behaviour.
adds the following API calls: PySet_Clear(), _PySet_Next(), and
_PySet_Update(). The latter two are considered non-public. Tests and
documentation (for the public API) are included.
This will hopefully get rid of some Coverity warnings, be a hint to
developers, and be marginally faster.
Some asserts were added when the type is currently known, but depends
on values from another function.
This is a heavily altered derivative of SF patch 1123430, Evan
Jones's heroic effort to make obmalloc return unused arenas to
the system free(), with some heuristic strategies to make it
more likley that arenas eventually _can_ be freed.
PyObject_Unicode(). This problem was originally reported from Coverity
and addresses mail on python-dev "checkin r43015".
This inlines the conversion of the string to unicode and cleans
up/simplifies some code at the end of the PyObject_Unicode().
We really need a complete C API test module for all public APIs
and passing good and bad parameter values.
Will backport.
there)
- Add missing DECREFs of inner-scope 'temp' variable
- Add various missing DECREFs by changing 'return NULL' into 'goto onError'
- Avoid double DECREF when last _PyUnicode_Resize() fails
Coverity found one of the missing DECREFs, but oddly enough not the others.
Anyway, this is the changes to the with-statement
so that __exit__ must return a true value in order
for a pending exception to be ignored.
The PEP (343) is already updated.
