Neil Schemenauer fec4eb1be1 Allow PyObject_Del to be used as a function designator. Provide binary
compatibility function.

Make PyObject_GC_Track and PyObject_GC_UnTrack functions instead of
trivial macros wrapping functions.  Provide binary compatibility
functions.

Neil Schemenauer b883310d59 Make _PyObject_GC_UnTrack do nothing if WITH_CYCLE_GC is not defined. 2002-03-29 03:04:25 +00:00
Guido van Rossum ff413af605 This is Neil's fix for SF bug 535905 (Evil Trashcan and GC interaction).
The fix makes it possible to call PyObject_GC_UnTrack() more than once
on the same object, and then move the PyObject_GC_UnTrack() call to
*before* the trashcan code is invoked.

Tim Peters db8656118a has_finalizer(): simplified "if (complicated_bool) 1 else 0" to
"complicated_bool".

Neil Schemenauer a765c120f6 Add has_finalizer predictate function. Use it when deciding which
objects to save in gc.garbage.  This should be the last change needed to
fix SF bug 477059: "__del__ on new classes vs. GC".

Note that this change slightly changes the behavior of the collector.
Before, if a cycle was found that contained instances with __del__
methods then all instance objects in that cycle were saved in
gc.garbage.  Now, only objects with __del__ methods are saved in
gc.garbage.

Guido van Rossum 8cc705eabc SF bug #477059 (my own): __del__ on new classes vs. GC.
When moving objects with a __del__ attribute to a special list, look
for __del__ on new-style classes with the HEAPTYPE flag set as well.
(HEAPTYPE means the class was created by a class statement.)

Neil Schemenauer e8c40cb722 Make the gc.collect() function respect the collection lock. This fixes
SF bug 476129: "gc.collect sometimes hangs".

Guido van Rossum bca8c2ebea Use double curly braces for the generation0/1/2 initializers, to shut
up GCC warnings.

Tim Peters 9e4ca10ce4 SF bug [#467145] Python 2.2a4 build problem on HPUX 11.0.
The platform requires 8-byte alignment for doubles, but the GC header
was 12 bytes and that threw off the natural alignment of the double
members of a subtype of complex.  The fix puts the GC header into a
union with a double as the other member, to force no-looser-than
double alignment of GC headers.  On boxes that require 8-byte alignment
for doubles, this may add pad bytes to the GC header accordingly; ditto
for platforms that *prefer* 8-byte alignment for doubles.  On platforms
that don't care, it shouldn't change the memory layout (because the
size of the old GC header is certainly greater than the size of a double
on all platforms, so unioning with a double shouldn't change size or
alignment on such boxes).

Tim Peters f2a67daca2 Guido suggests, and I agree, to insist that SIZEOF_VOID_P be a power of 2.
This simplifies the rounding in _PyObject_VAR_SIZE, allows to restore the
pre-rounding calling sequence, and allows some nice little simplifications
in its callers.  I'm still making it return a size_t, though.
2001-10-07 03:54:51 +00:00
Tim Peters 6d483d3477 _PyObject_VAR_SIZE: always round up to a multiple-of-pointer-size value.
As Guido suggested, this makes the new subclassing code substantially
simpler.  But the mechanics of doing it w/ C macro semantics are a mess,
and _PyObject_VAR_SIZE has a new calling sequence now.

Question:  The PyObject_NEW_VAR macro appears to be part of the public API.
Regardless of what it expands to, the notion that it has to round up the
memory it allocates is new, and extensions containing the old
PyObject_NEW_VAR macro expansion (which was embedded in the
PyObject_NEW_VAR expansion) won't do this rounding.  But the rounding
isn't actually *needed* except for new-style instances with dict pointers
after a variable-length blob of embedded data.  So my guess is that we do
not need to bump the API version for this (as the rounding isn't needed
for anything an extension can do unless it's recompiled anyway).  What's
your guess?

Tim Peters 406fe3b1c0 Repaired the debug Windows deaths in test_descr, by allocating enough
pad memory to properly align the __dict__ pointer in all cases.

gcmodule.c/objimpl.h, _PyObject_GC_Malloc:
+ Added a "padding" argument so that this flavor of malloc can allocate
  enough bytes for alignment padding (it can't know this is needed, but
  its callers do).

typeobject.c, PyType_GenericAlloc:
+ Allocated enough bytes to align the __dict__ pointer.
+ Sped and simplified the round-up-to-PTRSIZE logic.
+ Added blank lines so I could parse the if/else blocks <0.7 wink>.
2001-10-06 19:04:01 +00:00
Tim Peters 8c18f25850 _PyObject_GC_Malloc(): split a complicated line in two. As is, there was
no way to talk the debugger into showing me how many bytes were being
allocated.

Neil Schemenauer 43411b5683 Make more things internal to this file. Remove
visit_finalizer_reachable since it's the same as visit_reachable.
Rename visit_reachable to visit_move.  Objects can now have the GC type
flag set, reachable by tp_traverse and not be in a GC linked list.  This
should make the collector more robust and easier to use by extension
module writers.  Add memory management functions for container objects
(new, del, resize).

Neil Schemenauer 17e7be60b4 Remove "referents" structure (it's not needed). Check return value
of PyList_Append.
2001-08-10 14:46:47 +00:00
Neil Schemenauer c7c8d8e32d Add get_objects function. This is a low level function (like
get_referents, and is not yet documented in the library manual).
Suggestions for a better name welcome.

Neil Schemenauer 544de1effb - Add DEBUG_SAVEALL option. When enabled all garbage objects found by the

Barry Warsaw 35e459c3eb debug_instance(): Use the same %p format directive as with
debug_cycle(), and don't cast the pointer to a long.  Neither needs
the literal `0x' prefix as %p automatically inserts this (on Linux at
least).
2000-07-12 05:18:36 +00:00
Fred Drake cc1be2401e Always use the :funcname part of the format specifier for PyArg_ParseTuple()

Fred Drake b35de5b78a Neil Schemenauer <nascheme@enme.ucalgary.ca>:
