Antoine Pitrou c169c781a8 Issue #7466: segmentation fault when the garbage collector is called
in the middle of populating a tuple.  Patch by Florent Xicluna.

(note: no NEWS entry for trunk since the bug was introduced in 2.7/3.1)

Antoine Pitrou 1fba62427c The tracking statistics were actually too pessimistic 2009-03-23 19:17:00 +00:00
Antoine Pitrou f8387af262 Issue #4688: Add a heuristic so that tuples and dicts containing only
untrackable objects are not tracked by the garbage collector. This can
reduce the size of collections and therefore the garbage collection overhead
on long-running programs, depending on their particular use of datatypes.

(trivia: this makes the "binary_trees" benchmark from the Computer Language
Shootout 40% faster)

Gregory P. Smith dd96db63f6 This reverts r63675 based on the discussion in this thread:
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2008-June/079988.html

Python 2.6 should stick with PyString_* in its codebase.  The PyBytes_* names
in the spirit of 3.0 are available via a #define only.  See the email thread.

Raymond Hettinger 5b07ebce86 Issue 2025: Add tuple.count() and tuple.index() to follow the ABC in collections.Sequence. 2008-02-07 00:54:20 +00:00
Christian Heimes 5b970ad483 Unified naming convention for free lists and their limits. All free lists
in Object/ are named ``free_list``, the counter ``numfree`` and the upper
limit is a macro ``PyName_MAXFREELIST`` inside an #ifndef block.

The chances should make it easier to adjust Python for platforms with
less memory, e.g. mobile phones.

Brett Cannon 31ba8480d8 Fix error introduced by r58288; if a tuple is length 0 return its repr and
don't worry about any self-referring tuples.
2007-09-30 20:37:19 +00:00
Brett Cannon 0b14f243c4 tuple.__repr__ did not consider a reference loop as it is not possible from
Python code; but it is possible from C.  object.__str__ had the issue of not
expecting a type to doing something within it's tp_str implementation that
could trigger an infinite recursion, but it could in C code..  Both found
thanks to BaseException and how it handles its repr.

Closes issue #1686386.  Thanks to Thomas Herve for taking an initial stab at
coming up with a solution.

Thomas Wouters 3ccec68a05 Improve extended slicing support in builtin types and classes. Specifically:
- Specialcase extended slices that amount to a shallow copy the same way as
   is done for simple slices, in the tuple, string and unicode case.

 - Specialcase step-1 extended slices to optimize the common case for all
   involved types.

 - For lists, allow extended slice assignment of differing lengths as long
   as the step is 1. (Previously, 'l[:2:1] = []' failed even though
   'l[:2] = []' and 'l[:2:None] = []' do not.)

 - Implement extended slicing for buffer, array, structseq, mmap and
   UserString.UserString.

 - Implement slice-object support (but not non-step-1 slice assignment) for
   UserString.MutableString.

 - Add tests for all new functionality.

Martin v. Löwis 6819210b9e PEP 3123: Provide forward compatibility with Python 3.0, while keeping

Neal Norwitz ee3a1b5244 Variation of patch # 1624059 to speed up checking if an object is a subclass
of some of the common builtin types.

Use a bit in tp_flags for each common builtin type.  Check the bit
to determine if any instance is a subclass of these common types.
The check avoids a function call and O(n) search of the base classes.
The check is done in the various Py*_Check macros rather than calling
PyType_IsSubtype().

All the bits are set in tp_flags when the type is declared
in the Objects/*object.c files because PyType_Ready() is not called
for all the types.  Should PyType_Ready() be called for all types?
If so and the change is made, the changes to the Objects/*object.c files
can be reverted (remove setting the tp_flags).  Objects/typeobject.c
would also have to be modified to add conditions
for Py*_CheckExact() in addition to each the PyType_IsSubtype check.

Neal Norwitz 8a87f5d37e Patch #1538606, Patch to fix __index__() clipping.
I modified this patch some by fixing style, some error checking, and adding
XXX comments.  This patch requires review and some changes are to be expected.
I'm checking in now to get the greatest possible review and establish a
baseline for moving forward.  I don't want this to hold up release if possible.

Thomas Wouters c6e55068ca Use Py_VISIT in all tp_traverse methods, instead of traversing manually or
using a custom, nearly-identical macro. This probably changes how some of
these functions are compiled, which may result in fractionally slower (or
faster) execution. Considering the nature of traversal, visiting much of the
address space in unpredictable patterns, I'd argue the code readability and
maintainability is well worth it ;P

Anthony Baxter a62862120d More low-hanging fruit. Still need to re-arrange some code (or find a better
solution) in the same way as listobject.c got changed. Hoping for a better
solution.

Jeremy Hylton af68c874a6 Add const to several API functions that take char *.
In C++, it's an error to pass a string literal to a char* function
without a const_cast().  Rather than require every C++ extension
module to put a cast around string literals, fix the API to state the
const-ness.

I focused on parts of the API where people usually pass literals:
PyArg_ParseTuple() and friends, Py_BuildValue(), PyMethodDef, the type
slots, etc.  Predictably, there were a large set of functions that
needed to be fixed as a result of these changes.  The most pervasive
change was to make the keyword args list passed to
PyArg_ParseTupleAndKewords() to be a const char *kwlist[].

One cast was required as a result of the changes:  A type object
mallocs the memory for its tp_doc slot and later frees it.
PyTypeObject says that tp_doc is const char *; but if the type was
created by type_new(), we know it is safe to cast to char *.

Tim Peters 1c3fd875b9 PyTuple_New(): vrbl i no longer referenced, so removed it (which kills

Armin Rigo 56716150e6 This is the fastest I could get on Intel GCC. I kept the memset() in to clear
the newly created tuples, but tuples added in the freelist are now cleared in
tupledealloc already (which is very cheap, because we are already
Py_XDECREF'ing all elements anyway).

Python should have a standard Py_ZAP macro like ZAP in pystate.c.

Raymond Hettinger b7d05db0be Optimize tuple_slice() and make further improvements to list_slice()
and list.extend().  Factoring the inner loops to remove the constant
structure references and fixed offsets gives speedups ranging from
20% to 30%.

Raymond Hettinger 686b14d7ad SF bug #730296: Unexpected Changes in list Iterator
Reverted a Py2.3b1 change to iterator in subclasses of list and tuple.
They had been changed to use __getitem__ whenever it had been overriden
in the subclass.

This caused some usabilty and performance problems.  Also, it was
inconsistent with the rest of python where many container methods
access the underlying object directly without first checking for
an overridden getter.  Users needing a change in iterator behavior
should override it directly.

Raymond Hettinger 9928571f3f SF bug 665835: filter() treatment of str and tuple inconsistent
As a side issue on this bug, it was noted that list and tuple iterators
used macros to directly access containers and would not recognize
__getitem__ overrides.  If the method is overridden, the patch returns
a generic sequence iterator which calls the __getitem__ method; otherwise,
it returns a high custom iterator with direct access to container elements.
2003-04-24 16:52:47 +00:00
Raymond Hettinger 1da1dbf458 Renamed PyObject_GenericGetIter to PyObject_SelfIter
to more accurately describe what the function does.

Suggested by Thomas Wouters.
