This was started by Mike Bland and completed by Guido
(with help from Neal).
This still needs a __future__ statement added;
Thomas is working on Michael's patch for that aspect.
There's a small amount of code cleanup and refactoring
in ast.c, compile.c and ceval.c (I fixed the lltrace
behavior when EXT_POP is used -- however I had to make
lltrace a static global).
PyThreadState_Delete(): if the auto-GIL-state machinery knows about
the thread state, forget it (since the thread state is being deleted,
continuing to remember it can't help, but can hurt if another thread
happens to get created with the same thread id).
I'll backport to 2.4 next.
- The copy module now "copies" function objects (as atomic objects).
- dict.__getitem__ now looks for a __missing__ hook before raising
KeyError.
- Added a new type, defaultdict, to the collections module.
This uses the new __missing__ hook behavior added to dict (see above).
Based on lsprof (patch #1212837) by Brett Rosen and Ted Czotter.
With further editing by Michael Hudson and myself.
History in svn repo: http://codespeak.net/svn/user/arigo/hack/misc/lsprof
* Module/_lsprof.c is the internal C module, Lib/cProfile.py a wrapper.
* pstats.py updated to display cProfile's caller/callee timings if available.
* setup.py and NEWS updated.
* documentation updates in the profiler section:
- explain the differences between the three profilers that we have now
- profile and cProfile can use a unified documentation, like (c)Pickle
- mention that hotshot is "for specialized usage" now
- removed references to the "old profiler" that no longer exists
* test updates:
- extended test_profile to cover delicate cases like recursion
- added tests for the caller/callee displays
- added test_cProfile, performing the same tests for cProfile
* TO-DO:
- cProfile gives a nicer name to built-in, particularly built-in methods,
which could be backported to profile.
- not tested on Windows recently!
is larger than FD_SETSIZE.
This can only be acheived with ulimit -n SOME_NUMBER_BIGGER_THAN_FD_SETSIZE
which is typically only available to root. Since this wouldn't normally
be run in a test (ie, run as root), it doesn't seem too worthwhile to
add a normal test. The bug report has one version of a test. I've
written another. Not sure what the best thing to do is.
Do the check before calling internal_select() because we can't set
an error in between Py_BEGIN_ALLOW_THREADS and Py_END_ALLOW_THREADS.
This seemed the clearest solution, ie handle before calling internal_select()
rather than inside. Plus there is at least one place outside
of internal_select() that needed to be handled.
Will backport.
on both Unix (SVR4 and BSD) and Windows. Restores behaviour of passing -1
for anonymous memory on Unix. Use MAP_ANONYMOUS instead of _ANON since
the latter is deprecated according to Linux (gentoo) man pages.
Should we continue to allow mmap.mmap(0, length) to work on Windows?
0 is a valid fd.
Will backport bugfix portions.
