Fred Drake 907e76b620 Fix up a few style nits -- avoid "e.g." and "i.e." -- these make
translation more difficult, as well as reading the English more
difficult for non-native speakers.

Fred Drake 54d10fd2cd Add a version annotation for the Q and q format codes. 2001-06-15 14:13:07 +00:00
Tim Peters 7a3bfc3a47 Added q/Q standard (x-platform 8-byte ints) mode in struct module.
This completes the q/Q project.

longobject.c _PyLong_AsByteArray:  The original code had a gross bug:
the most-significant Python digit doesn't necessarily have SHIFT
significant bits, and you really need to count how many copies of the sign
bit it has else spurious overflow errors result.

test_struct.py:  This now does exhaustive std q/Q testing at, and on both
sides of, all relevant power-of-2 boundaries, both positive and negative.

NEWS:  Added brief dict news while I was at it.

Tim Peters 7b9542a3f7 Initial support for 'q' and 'Q' struct format codes: for now, only in
native mode, and only when config #defines HAVE_LONG_LONG.  Standard mode
will eventually treat them as 8-byte ints across all platforms, but that
likely requires a new set of routines in longobject.c first (while
sizeof(long) >= 4 is guaranteed by C, there's nothing in C we can rely
on x-platform to hold 8 bytes of int, so we'll have to roll our own;
I'm thinking of a simple pair of conversion functions, Python long
to/from sized vector of unsigned bytes; that may be useful for GMP
conversions too; std q/Q would call them with size fixed at 8).

test_struct.py:  In addition to adding some native-mode 'q' and 'Q' tests,
got rid of unused code, and repaired a non-portable assumption about
native sizeof(short) (it isn't 2 on some Cray boxes).

libstruct.tex:  In addition to adding a bit of 'q'/'Q' docs (more needed
later), removed an erroneous footnote about 'I' behavior.

Ka-Ping Yee fa004ad36c Show '\011', '\012', and '\015' as '\t', '\n', '\r' in strings.
Switch from octal escapes to hex escapes for other nonprintable characters.

Fred Drake 38e5d27cae Merged changes from the 1.5.2p2 release.
(Very rough.)

Fred Drake b68a125d64 Added additional index entries.
Minor markup nits.

Fred Drake a889add5d6 Oops; minor nit in example: none of the other interactive examples
show the "trailing" prompt, so don't show it here!

Fred Drake 3d815bd1c7 Added link to xdrlib module in "See also" section. 1999-04-21 15:57:29 +00:00

Fred Drake b91e934cf1 Adjusted to use the new module synopsis support macros. 1998-07-23 17:59:49 +00:00
Fred Drake ee60191d1d Lighten up tables. 1998-04-11 20:53:03 +00:00
Fred Drake 3a0351cf85 Remove all uses of \sectcode; we can now use logical markup everywhere. 1998-04-04 07:23:21 +00:00
Fred Drake cce1090d49 Change "\," to just "," in function signatures. This is easier to maintain,
works better with LaTeX2HTML, and allows some simplification of the python.sty
macros.

Fred Drake abdea226dc Adjusted an index entry. 1998-03-16 05:22:08 +00:00
Fred Drake 7ddd043191 Moved solitary "see also" paragraph into a {seealso} environment, and told
why the reader should see also.
1998-03-08 07:44:13 +00:00
Fred Drake 1947991c2f Remove all \bcode / \ecode cruft; this is no longer needed. See previous
checkin of myformat.sty.

Change "\renewcommand{\indexsubitem}{(...)}" to "\setindexsubitem{(...)}"
everywhere.

Some other minor nits that I happened to come across.
