Martin v. Löwis 6819210b9e PEP 3123: Provide forward compatibility with Python 3.0, while keeping
backwards compatibility. Add Py_Refcnt, Py_Type, Py_Size, and
PyVarObject_HEAD_INIT.

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.

Armin Rigo 89a39461bf Wrote down the invariants of some common objects whose structure is
exposed in header files.  Fixed a few comments in these headers.

As we might have expected, writing down invariants systematically exposed a
(minor) bug.  In this case, function objects have a writeable func_code
attribute, which could be set to code objects with the wrong number of
free variables.  Calling the resulting function segfaulted the interpreter.
Added a corresponding test.

Armin Rigo 93677f075d * drop the unreasonable list invariant that ob_item should never come back
to NULL during the lifetime of the object.

* listobject.c nevertheless did not conform to the other invariants,
  either; fixed.

* listobject.c now uses list_clear() as the obvious internal way to clear
  a list, instead of abusing list_ass_slice() for that.  It makes it easier
  to enforce the invariant about ob_item == NULL.

* listsort() sets allocated to -1 during sort; any mutation will set it
  to a value >= 0, so it is a safe way to detect mutation.  A negative
  value for allocated does not cause a problem elsewhere currently.
  test_sort.py has a new test for this fix.

* listsort() leak: if items were added to the list during the sort, AND if
  these items had a __del__ that puts still more stuff into the list,
  then this more stuff (and the PyObject** array to hold them) were
  overridden at the end of listsort() and never released.

Tim Peters 51b4ade306 Fix obscure breakage (relative to 2.3) in listsort: the test for list
mutation during list.sort() used to rely on that listobject.c always
NULL'ed ob_item when ob_size fell to 0.  That's no longer true, so the
test for list mutation during a sort is no longer reliable.  Changed the
test to rely instead on that listobject.c now never NULLs-out ob_item
after (if ever) ob_item gets a non-NULL value.  This new assumption is
also documented now, as a required invariant in listobject.h.

The new assumption allowed some real simplification to some of the
hairier code in listsort(), so is a Good Thing on that count.

Raymond Hettinger 8ca92ae54c Eliminate a big block of duplicate code in PySequence_List() by
exposing _PyList_Extend().

Raymond Hettinger 4bb9540dd6 * Optimized list appends and pops by making fewer calls the underlying system
realloc().  This is achieved by tracking the overallocation size in a new
  field and using that information to skip calls to realloc() whenever
  possible.

* Simplified and tightened the amount of overallocation.  For larger lists,
  this overallocates by 1/8th (compared to the previous scheme which ranged
  between 1/4th to 1/32nd over-allocation).  For smaller lists (n<6), the
  maximum overallocation is one byte (formerly it could be upto eight bytes).
  This saves memory in applications with large numbers of small lists.

* Eliminated the NRESIZE macro in favor of a new, static list_resize function
  that encapsulates the resizing logic.  Coverting this back to macro would
  give a small (under 1%) speed-up.  This was too small to warrant the loss
  of readability, maintainability, and de-coupling.

* Some functions using NRESIZE had grown unnecessarily complex in their
  efforts to bend to the macro's calling pattern.  With the new list_resize
  function in place, those other functions could be simplified.  That is
  being saved for a separate patch.

* The ob_item==NULL check could be eliminated from the new list_resize
  function.  This would entail finding each piece of code that sets ob_item
  to NULL and adding a new line to invalidate the overallocation tracking
  field.  Rather than impose a new requirement on other pieces of list code,
  it was preferred to leave the NULL check in place and retain the benefits
  of decoupling, maintainability and information hiding (only PyList_New()
  and list_sort() need to know about the new field).  This approach also
  reduces the odds of breaking an extension module.

(Collaborative effort by Raymond Hettinger, Hye-Shik Chang, Tim Peters,
 and Armin Rigo.)

Guido van Rossum 938178283c new names for lots of new functions 1995-01-17 16:01:01 +00:00
Guido van Rossum caa6380886 The great renaming, phase two: all header files have been updated to
use the new names exclusively, and the linker will see the new names.
Files that import "Python.h" also only see the new names.  Files that
import "allobjects.h" will continue to be able to use the old names,
due to the inclusion (in allobjects.h) of "rename2.h".
