new line.
New pvt API function _Py_PrintReferenceAddresses(): Prints only the
addresses and refcnts of the live objects. This is always safe to call,
because it has no dependence on Python's C API.
Py_Finalize(): If envar PYTHONDUMPREFS is set, call (the new)
_Py_PrintReferenceAddresses() right before dumping final pymalloc stats.
We can't print the reprs of the objects here because too much of the
interpreter has been shut down. You need to correlate the addresses
displayed here with the object reprs printed by the earlier
PYTHONDUMPREFS call to _Py_PrintReferences().
New functions:
unsigned long PyInt_AsUnsignedLongMask(PyObject *);
unsigned PY_LONG_LONG) PyInt_AsUnsignedLongLongMask(PyObject *);
unsigned long PyLong_AsUnsignedLongMask(PyObject *);
unsigned PY_LONG_LONG) PyLong_AsUnsignedLongLongMask(PyObject *);
New and changed format codes:
b unsigned char 0..UCHAR_MAX
B unsigned char none **
h unsigned short 0..USHRT_MAX
H unsigned short none **
i int INT_MIN..INT_MAX
I * unsigned int 0..UINT_MAX
l long LONG_MIN..LONG_MAX
k * unsigned long none
L long long LLONG_MIN..LLONG_MAX
K * unsigned long long none
Notes:
* New format codes.
** Changed from previous "range-and-a-half" to "none"; the
range-and-a-half checking wasn't particularly useful.
New test test_getargs2.py, to verify all this.
PYTHONDUMPREFS output after most teardown. Attempts to use
PYTHONDUMPREFS with the Zope3 test suite died with Py_FatalError(),
since _Py_PrintReferences() can end up executing arbitrary Python code
(for objects that override __repr__), and that requires an intact
interpreter.
even farther down, to just before the call to
_PyObject_DebugMallocStats(). This required the following changes:
- pystate.c, PyThreadState_GetDict(): changed not to raise an
exception or issue a fatal error when no current thread state is
available, but simply return NULL without raising an exception
(ever).
- object.c, Py_ReprEnter(): when PyThreadState_GetDict() returns NULL,
don't raise an exception but return 0. This means that when
printing a container that's recursive, printing will go on and on
and on. But that shouldn't happen in the case we care about (see
first bullet).
- Updated Misc/NEWS and Doc/api/init.tex to reflect changes to
PyThreadState_GetDict() definition.
- Allow setting the destination install directory. If this is set then
it is used for the modules, other items (header files, etc) are not
installed, and warnings are printed if the package would have liked to.
Unfortunaltey binary installs seem broken due to a tarfile bug (#721871)
or my misunderstanding of how tarfile works.
getpwnam()/getpwuid() return consistent data.
Change test_grp to check that getgrall() and
getgrnam()/getgrgid() return consistent data.
Add error checks similar to test_pwd.py.
Port test___all__.py to PyUnit.
