This is the first batch of fixes that should be easy to verify based on context.
This fixes problem numbers: 220 (ast), 323-324 (symtable),
321-322 (structseq), 215 (array), 210 (hotshot), 182 (codecs), 209 (etree).
storage before converting the result to C data. See the comment in
the code for details.
Provide a better context for errors when the conversion of a callback
function's result cannot be converted.
This provides the proper warning for struct.pack().
PyErr_Warn() is now deprecated in favor of PyErr_WarnEx().
As mentioned by Tim Peters on python-dev.
We didn't notice these before because test_defaultdict didn't
actually do anything before Georg fixed that earlier today.
Neal's next refleak run then showed test_defaultdict leaking
9 references on each run. That's repaired by this checkin.
inspect.py, and pydoc.py. Specifically, this allows for querying the type of
an object against these built-in C types and more importantly, for getting
their docstrings printed in the interactive interpreter's help() function.
This patch includes a new built-in module called _types which provides
definitions of getset and member descriptors for use by the types.py module.
These types are exposed as types.GetSetDescriptorType and
types.MemberDescriptorType. Query functions are provided as
inspect.isgetsetdescriptor() and inspect.ismemberdescriptor(). The
implementations of these are robust enough to work with Python implementations
other than CPython, which may not have these fundamental types.
The patch also includes documentation and test suite updates.
I commit these changes now under these guiding principles:
1. Silence is assent. The release manager has not said "no", and of the few
people that cared enough to respond to the thread, the worst vote was "0".
2. It's easier to ask for forgiveness than permission.
3. It's so dang easy to revert stuff in svn, that you could view this as a
forcing function. :)
Windows build patches will follow.
it definitely could use some review to ensure I'm not off by one
and there's no possible overflow/wrap-around of bytes_left.
Reported by Klocwork #1.
Fix a problem if there is a failure allocating self->db.
Found with failmalloc.
Also fix a few memory leaks in other failure scenarios.
It seems that if b_objects == Py_None, we will have an extra ref to
b_objects. Add XXX comment so hopefully someone documents why the
else isn't necessary or adds it in.
Reported by Klocwork #20
of values in the time tuple passed in. Unfortunately people came to rely on
undocumented behaviour of setting unneeded values to 0, regardless of if it was
within the valid range. Now those values force the value internally to the
minimum value when 0 is passed in.
