Brett Cannon a5ca2e7220 Remove 'extern' declaration for _Py_SwappedOp. 2004-09-25 01:37:24 +00:00
Tim Peters f4aca755bc A static swapped_op[] array was defined in 3 different C files, & I think
I need to define it again.  Bite the bullet and define it once as an
extern, _Py_SwappedOp[].

Fred Drake 0a4dd390bf Make weak references subclassable:
- weakref.ref and weakref.ReferenceType will become aliases for each
  other

- weakref.ref will be a modern, new-style class with proper __new__
  and __init__ methods

- weakref.WeakValueDictionary will have a lighter memory footprint,
  using a new weakref.ref subclass to associate the key with the
  value, allowing us to have only a single object of overhead for each
  dictionary entry (currently, there are 3 objects of overhead per
  entry: a weakref to the value, a weakref to the dictionary, and a
  function object used as a weakref callback; the weakref to the
  dictionary could be avoided without this change)

- a new macro, PyWeakref_CheckRefExact(), will be added

- PyWeakref_CheckRef() will check for subclasses of weakref.ref

This closes SF patch #983019.

Raymond Hettinger 214b1c3aae SF Bug #215126: Over restricted type checking on eval() function
The builtin eval() function now accepts any mapping for the locals argument.
Time sensitive steps guarded by PyDict_CheckExact() to keep from slowing
down the normal case.  My timings so no measurable impact.

Tim Peters 21d7d4d5ca _Py_PrintReferenceAddresses(): also print the type name. In real use
I'm finding some pretty baffling output, like reprs consisting entirely
of three left parens.  At least this will let us know what type the object
is (it's not str -- there's no quote character in the repr).

New tool combinerefs.py, to combine the two output blocks produced via
PYTHONDUMPREFS.
2003-04-18 00:45:59 +00:00
Tim Peters 269b2a6797 _Py_PrintReferences(): Changed to print object address at start of each
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().
2003-04-17 19:52:29 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 0fc8f00252 - pythunrun.c, Py_Finalize(): move the call to _Py_PrintReferences()
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.

Tim Peters 51f8d38185 Typo in comment. 2003-03-23 18:06:08 +00:00
Tim Peters 7571a0fbcf Improved new Py_TRACE_REFS gimmicks.
Arranged that all the objects exposed by __builtin__ appear in the list
of all objects.  I basically peed away two days tracking down a mystery
leak in sys.gettotalrefcount() in a ZODB app (== tons of code), because
the object leaking the references didn't appear in the sys.getobjects(0)
list.  The object happened to be False.  Now False is in the list, along
with other popular & previously missing leak candidates (like None).
Alas, we still don't have a choke point covering *all* Python objects,
so the list of all objects may still be incomplete.
2003-03-23 17:52:28 +00:00
Tim Peters 36eb4dfb81 Refactored some of the Py_TRACE_REFS code. New private API function
_Py_AddToAllObjects() that simply inserts an object at the front of
the doubly-linked list of all objects.  Changed PyType_Ready() (the
 closest thing we've got to a choke point for type objects) to call
that.
2003-03-23 03:33:13 +00:00
Tim Peters 3e40c7ff5b Oops! Used a wrong preprocessor symbol. 2003-03-23 03:04:32 +00:00
Tim Peters 78be7993b6 When Py_TRACE_REFS is defined, a list of all live objects is maintained in
a doubly-linked list, exposed by sys.getobjects().  Unfortunately, it's not
really all live objects, and it seems my fate to bump into programs where
sys.gettotalrefcount() keeps going up but where the reference leaks aren't
accounted for by anything in the list of all objects.

This patch helps a little:  if COUNT_ALLOCS is also defined, from now on
type objects will also appear in this list, provided at least one object
of a type has been allocated.

2003-03-17 08:24:35 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 90195e2616 PyObject_Generic{Get,Set}Attr:
Don't access tp_descr_{get,set} of a descriptor without checking the
flag bits of the descriptor's type.  While we know that the main type
(the type of the object whose attribute is being accessed) has all the
right flag bits (or else PyObject_Generic{Get,Set}Attr wouldn't be
called), we don't know that for its class attributes!

Will backport to 2.2.
2003-02-19 03:19:29 +00:00
Guido van Rossum fb50d3ffa1 default_3way_compare(): use PyNumber_Check(), rather than testing for

Tim Peters 4440f22e98 Recursive compare machinery: The code that intended to exempt tuples
was broken because new-in-2.3 code added a tp_as_mapping slot to tuples.
Repaired that.

Added basic docs to check_recursion().

The code that intended to exempt tuples and strings was also broken here,
and in 2.2:  these should use PyXYZ_CheckExact(), not PyXYZ_Check() -- we
can't know whether subclass instances are immutable.  This part (and this
part alone) is a bugfix candidate.

Neil Schemenauer 89350a41b9 Remove _Py_ResetReferences. Fixes bug #529750 "Circular reference makes
Py_Init crash".  refchain cannot be cleared because objects can live across
Py_Finalize() and Py_Initialize() if they are kept alive by circular
references.
2002-11-17 17:52:44 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 6e08c1460c PyObject_Init[Var] is almost always called from the PyObject_NEW[_VAR]
macros.  The 'op' argument is then the result from PyObject_MALLOC,
and that can of course be NULL.  In that case, PyObject_Init[Var]
would raise a SystemError with "NULL object passed to
PyObject_Init[Var]".  But there's nothing the caller of the macro can
do about this.  So PyObject_Init[Var] should call just PyErr_NoMemory.

Will backport.

Guido van Rossum 6248f441ea Speedup for PyObject_IsTrue(): check for True and False first.
Because all built-in tests return bools now, this is the most common
path!
2002-08-24 06:31:34 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 81912d4764 Speedup for PyObject_RichCompareBool(): PyObject_RichCompare() almost
always returns a bool, so avoid calling PyObject_IsTrue() in that
case.
2002-08-24 05:33:28 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 056fbf422d Another modest speedup in PyObject_GenericGetAttr(): inline the call

Guido van Rossum c66ff4441e Inline call to _PyObject_GetDictPtr() in PyObject_GenericGetAttr().

Tim Peters 3459251d5a object.h special-build macro minefield: renamed all the new lexical
helper macros to something saner, and used them appropriately in other
files too, to reduce #ifdef blocks.

classobject.c, instance_dealloc():  One of my worst Python Memories is
trying to fix this routine a few years ago when COUNT_ALLOCS was defined
but Py_TRACE_REFS wasn't.  The special-build code here is way too
complicated.  Now it's much simpler.  Difference:  in a Py_TRACE_REFS
build, the instance is no longer in the doubly-linked list of live
objects while its __del__ method is executing, and that may be visible
via sys.getobjects() called from a __del__ method.  Tough -- the object
is presumed dead while its __del__ is executing anyway, and not calling
_Py_NewReference() at the start allows enormous code simplification.

typeobject.c, call_finalizer():  The special-build instance_dealloc()
pain apparently spread to here too via cut-'n-paste, and this is much
simpler now too.  In addition, I didn't understand why this routine
was calling _PyObject_GC_TRACK() after a resurrection, since there's no
plausible way _PyObject_GC_UNTRACK() could have been called on the
object by this point.  I suspect it was left over from pasting the
instance_delloc() code.  Instead asserted that the object is still
tracked.  Caution:  I suspect we don't have a test that actually
exercises the subtype_dealloc() __del__-resurrected-me code.
2002-07-11 06:23:50 +00:00
Tim Peters 7c321a80f9 The Py_REF_DEBUG/COUNT_ALLOCS/Py_TRACE_REFS macro minefield: added
more trivial lexical helper macros so that uses of these guys expand
to nothing at all when they're not enabled.  This should help sub-
standard compilers that can't do a good job of optimizing away the
previous "(void)0" expressions.

Py_DECREF:  There's only one definition of this now.  Yay!  That
was that last one in the family defined multiple times in an #ifdef
maze.

Py_FatalError():  Changed the char* signature to const char*.

_Py_NegativeRefcount():  New helper function for the Py_REF_DEBUG
expansion of Py_DECREF.  Calling an external function cuts down on
the volume of generated code.  The previous inline expansion of abort()
didn't work as intended on Windows (the program often kept going, and
the error msg scrolled off the screen unseen).  _Py_NegativeRefcount
calls Py_FatalError instead, which captures our best knowledge of
how to abort effectively across platforms.

Tim Peters c6a3ff634a SF bug 578752: COUNT_ALLOCS vs heap types
Repair segfaults and infinite loops in COUNT_ALLOCS builds in the
presence of new-style (heap-allocated) classes/types.

Bugfix candidate.  I'll backport this to 2.2.  It's irrelevant in 2.1.
2002-07-08 22:11:52 +00:00
Tim Peters 4be93d0e84 Rearranged and added comments to object.h, to clarify many things
that have taken me "too long" to reverse-engineer over the years.
Vastly reduced the nesting level and redundancy of #ifdef-ery.
Took a light stab at repairing comments that are no longer true.

sys_gettotalrefcount():  Changed to enable under Py_REF_DEBUG.
It was enabled under Py_TRACE_REFS, which was much heavier than
necessary.  sys.gettotalrefcount() is now available in a
Py_REF_DEBUG-only build.
2002-07-07 19:59:50 +00:00
Tim Peters a6269a8ec5 Removed 3 unlikely #includes that were only needed for the non-gc flavor
of the trashcan code.
2002-07-07 16:52:50 +00:00
Tim Peters 803526b9e2 Trashcan cleanup: Now that cyclic gc is always there, the trashcan
mechanism is no longer evil:  it no longer plays dangerous games with
the type pointer or refcounts, and objects in extension modules can play
along too without needing to edit the core first.

Rewrote all the comments to explain this, and (I hope) give clear
guidance to extension authors who do want to play along.  Documented
all the functions.  Added more asserts (it may no longer be evil, but
it's still dangerous <0.9 wink>).  Rearranged the generated code to
make it clearer, and to tolerate either the presence or absence of a
semicolon after the macros.  Rewrote _PyTrash_destroy_chain() to call
tp_dealloc directly; it was doing a Py_DECREF again, and that has all
sorts of obscure distorting effects in non-release builds (Py_DECREF
was already called on the object!).  Removed Christian's little "embedded
change log" comments -- that's what checkin messages are for, and since
it was impossible to correlate the comments with the code that changed,
I found them merely distracting.
2002-07-07 05:13:56 +00:00
Tim Peters 943382c8e5 Removed WITH_CYCLE_GC #ifdef-ery. Holes:
+ I'm not sure what to do about configure.in.  Left it alone.

+ Ditto pyexpat.c.  Fred or Martin will know what to do.

Neal Norwitz 3f8dae73c7 Fix typo 2002-05-31 20:23:33 +00:00
Guido van Rossum a407300cd7 Implement the intention of SF patch 472523 (but coded differently).
In the past, an object's tp_compare could return any value.  In 2.2
the docs were tightened to require it to return -1, 0 or 1; and -1 for
an error.

We now issue a warning if the value is not in this range.  When an
exception is raised, we allow -1 or -2 as return value, since -2 will
the recommended return value for errors in the future.  (Eventually
tp_compare will also be allowed to return +2, to indicate
NotImplemented; but that can only be implemented once we know all
extensions return a value in [-2...1].  Or perhaps it will require the
type to set a flag bit.)

I haven't decided yet whether to backport this to 2.2.x.  The patch
applies fine.  But is it fair to start warning in 2.2.2 about code
that worked flawlessly in 2.2.1?
2002-05-31 20:03:54 +00:00
Guido van Rossum cacfc07d08 - A new type object, 'string', is added. This is a common base type
for 'str' and 'unicode', and can be used instead of
  types.StringTypes, e.g. to test whether something is "a string":
  isinstance(x, string) is True for Unicode and 8-bit strings.  This
  is an abstract base class and cannot be instantiated directly.
