Thomas Wouters 1e0c2f4bee Create a new section of pyport.h to hold all external function declarations
for systems that are missing those declarations from system include files.
Start by moving a pointy-haired ones from their previous locations to the
new section.

(The gethostname() one, for instance, breaks on several systems, because
some define it as (char *, size_t) and some as (char *, int).)

I purposely decided not to include the summary of used #defines like Tim did
in the first section of pyport.h. In my opinion, the number of #defines
likedly to be used by this section would make such an overview unwieldy. I
would suggest documenting the non-obvious ones, though.

Tim Peters 8315ea5790 Included assert.h in Python.h -- it's absurd that this basic tool of
good C practice hasn't been available to everything all along.
Added Py_SAFE_DOWNCAST(VALUE, WIDE, NARROW) macro to pyport.h; this
just casts VALUE from type WIDE to type NARROW, but assert-fails if
Py_DEBUG is defined and info is lost due to casting.
Replaced a line in Fredrik's fix to marshal.c to use the new macro.
2000-07-23 19:28:35 +00:00
Fredrik Lundh 115343849c -- changed w_more to take an integer instead of a char

Thomas Wouters 7e47402264 Spelling fixes supplied by Rob W. W. Hooft. All these are fixes in either
comments, docstrings or error messages. I fixed two minor things in
test_winreg.py ("didn't" -> "Didn't" and "Didnt" -> "Didn't").

There is a minor style issue involved: Guido seems to have preferred English
grammar (behaviour, honour) in a couple places. This patch changes that to
American, which is the more prominent style in the source. I prefer English
myself, so if English is preferred, I'd be happy to supply a patch myself ;)

Fred Drake 615ae55eca Trent Mick <trentm@activestate.com>:
The common technique for printing out a pointer has been to cast to a long
and use the "%lx" printf modifier. This is incorrect on Win64 where casting
to a long truncates the pointer. The "%p" formatter should be used instead.

The problem as stated by Tim:
> Unfortunately, the C committee refused to define what %p conversion "looks
> like" -- they explicitly allowed it to be implementation-defined. Older
> versions of Microsoft C even stuck a colon in the middle of the address (in
> the days of segment+offset addressing)!

The result is that the hex value of a pointer will maybe/maybe not have a 0x
prepended to it.


Notes on the patch:

There are two main classes of changes:
- in the various repr() functions that print out pointers
- debugging printf's in the various thread_*.h files (these are why the
patch is large)


Closes SourceForge patch #100505.

Fred Drake 4c82b2366f Trent Mick <trentm@activestate.com>:
This patch fixes possible overflow in the use of
PyOS_GetLastModificationTime in getmtime.c and Python/import.c.

Currently PyOS_GetLastModificationTime returns a C long. This can
overflow on Win64 where sizeof(time_t) > sizeof(long). Besides it
should logically return a time_t anyway (this patch changes this).

As well, import.c uses PyOS_GetLastModificationTime for .pyc
timestamping.  There has been recent discussion about the .pyc header
format on python-dev.  This patch adds oveflow checking to import.c so
that an exception will be raised if the modification time
overflows. There are a few other minor 64-bit readiness changes made
to the module as well:

- size_t instead of int or long for function-local buffer and string
length variables

- one buffer overflow check was added (raises an exception on possible
overflow, this overflow chance exists on 32-bit platforms as well), no
other possible buffer overflows existed (from my analysis anyway)

Closes SourceForge patch #100509.

Guido van Rossum 5e08cb8e50 Vladimir Marangozov:
This patch fixes a problem on AIX with the signed int case code in
getargs.c, after Trent Mick's intervention about MIN/MAX overflow
checks. The AIX compiler/optimizer generates bogus code with the
default flags "-g -O" causing test_builtin to fail: int("10", 16) <>
16L. Swapping the two checks in the signed int code makes the problem
go away.

Also, make the error messages fit in 80 char lines in the
source.

Guido van Rossum 98626cd7ac Urmpf. Quality control on this patch lapsed a bit. :-(
The depth field was never decremented inside w_object(), and it was
never initialized in PyMarshal_WriteObjectToFile().

This caused imports from .pyc files to fil mysteriously when the .pyc
file was written by the broken code -- w_object() would bail out
early, but PyMarshal_WriteObjectToFile() doesn't check the error or
return an error code, and apparently the marshalling code doesn't call
PyErr_Check() either.  (That's a separate patch if I feel like it.)
2000-06-28 23:24:19 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 582acece2e Trent Mick's Win64 changes: size_t vs. int or long; also some overflow

Guido van Rossum 106f2dae86 Trent Mick:
Various small fixes to the builtin module to ensure no buffer
overflows.

- chunk #1:
Proper casting to ensure no truncation, and hence no surprises, in the
comparison.

- chunk #2:
The id() function guarantees a unique return value for different
objects.  It does this by returning the pointer to the object. By
returning a PyInt, on Win64 (sizeof(long) < sizeof(void*)) the pointer
is truncated and the guarantee may be proven false. The appropriate
return function is PyLong_FromVoidPtr, this returns a PyLong if that
is necessary to return the pointer without truncation.

[GvR: note that this means that id() can now return a long on Win32
platforms.  This *might* break some code...]

- chunk #3:
Ensure no overflow in raw_input(). Granted the user would have to pass
in >2GB of data but it *is* a possible buffer overflow condition.

Fred Drake 6da0b9148c Michael Hudson <mwh21@cam.ac.uk>:
As I really do not have anything better to do at the moment, I have written
a patch to Python/marshal.c that prevents Python dumping core when trying
to marshal stack bustingly deep (or recursive) data structure.

It just throws an exception; even slightly clever handling of recursive
data is what pickle is for...

[Fred Drake:]  Moved magic constant 5000 to a #define.

Jeremy Hylton 94988067b9 Add new parser error code, E_OVERFLOW. This error is returned when
the number of children of a node exceeds the max possible value for

this parser error into the SyntaxError "expression too long."

Mark Hammond 440d898230 Added a new debug method sys.gettotalrefcount(), which returns the total number of references on all Python objects. This is only enabled when Py_TRACE_REFS is defined (which includes default debug builds under Windows).
Also removed a redundant cast from sys.getrefcount(), as discussed on the patches list.

Barry Warsaw 675ac285ae The standard exception classes. Moved here from ../Modules/_exceptions.c 2000-05-26 19:05:16 +00:00
Barry Warsaw f17861badc Added exceptions.o to the list of object to build in this subdir. 2000-05-26 19:04:27 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 78e6c671db All the exception building related stuff has been moved out of this
module and into _exceptions.c.  This includes all the PyExc_* globals,
the bltin_exc table, init_class_exc(), fini_instances(),
finierrors().

Renamed _PyBuiltin_Init_1() to _PyBuiltin_Init() since the two phase
initializations are necessary any more.

Removed as obsolete _PyBuiltin_Init_2(), _PyBuiltin_Fini_1() and
_PyBuiltin_Fini_2().
2000-05-25 23:15:05 +00:00
Barry Warsaw f242aa0d1e Py_Initialize(): Now that standard exceptions are builtin, we don't
need two phase init or fini of the builtin module.  Change the call of
_PyBuiltin_Init_1() to _PyBuiltin_Init().  Add a call to
init_exceptions().

Py_Finalize(): Don't call _PyBuiltin_Fini_1().  Instead call
fini_exceptions() but move this to before the thread state is
cleared.
2000-05-25 23:09:49 +00:00

Guido van Rossum 80dc16baaa Trent Mick:
Changes the 'b', 'h', and 'i' formatters in PyArg_ParseTuple to raise an

Changes by Guido: always accept values [0..255] (in addition to
[CHAR_MIN..CHAR_MAX]) for 'b' format; changed some spaces into tabs in
other code.

Guido van Rossum 706262bde0 Fast NonRecursiveMutex support by Yakov Markovitch, markovitch@iso.ru,
who wrote:

Here's the new version of thread_nt.h.  More particular, there is a
new version of thread lock that uses kernel object (e.g. semaphore)
only in case of contention; in other case it simply uses interlocked
functions, which are faster by the order of magnitude.  It doesn't
make much difference without threads present, but as soon as thread
machinery initialised and (mostly) the interpreter global lock is on,
difference becomes tremendous.  I've included a small script, which
initialises threads and launches pystone.  With original thread_nt.h,
Pystone results with initialised threads are twofold worse then w/o
threads.  With the new version, only 10% worse.  I have used this
patch for about 6 months (with threaded and non-threaded
applications).  It works remarkably well (though I'd desperately
prefer Python was free-threaded; I hope, it will soon).

Guido van Rossum b18618dab7 Vladimir Marangozov's long-awaited malloc restructuring.
For more comments, read the patches@python.org archives.
For documentation read the comments in mymalloc.h and objimpl.h.

(This is not exactly what Vladimir posted to the patches list; I've

Guido van Rossum a7cfca23e1 A bit of cleanup:
- When 'import exceptions' fails, don't suggest to use -v to print the traceback;

Barry Warsaw fa5c315afa PyErr_GivenExceptionMatches(): Check for err==NULL and exc==NULL and
return 0 (exceptions don't match).  This means that if an ImportError
is raised because exceptions.py can't be imported, the interpreter
will exit "cleanly" with an error message instead of just core

Barry Warsaw 47eeb9bdad initerrors(): Remove this function. String-based standard exceptions
are no longer supported (i.e. -X option is removed).

_PyBuiltin_Init_1(): Don't call initerrors().  This does mean that it
is possible to raise an ImportError before that exception has been
initialized, say because exceptions.py can't be found, or contains
bogosity.  See changes to errors.c for how this is handled.

_PyBuiltin_Init_2(): Don't test Py_UseClassExceptionsFlag, just go
ahead and initialize the class-based standard exceptions.  If this
fails, we throw a Py_FatalError.
2000-05-02 19:24:06 +00:00

Guido van Rossum 96774c1347 Marc-Andre Lemburg:
Changed all references to the MAGIC constant to use a global
pyc_magic instead. This global is initially set to MAGIC, but can be

special features implemented in the compiler which are settable

Follow a suggestion in an /*XXX*/ comment [in com_add()] to speed up
compilation by using supplemental dictionaries to keep track of names
and constants, eliminating quadratic behavior.  With this patch in
place, the time to import a 5000-line file with lots of constants [at

Here's a patch which changes modsupport to add 'u' and 'u#',
to support building Unicode objects from a null-terminated
Py_UNICODE *, and a Py_UNICODE * with length, respectively.

[Conversion from 'U' to 'u' by Fred, based on python-dev comments.]

Note that the use of None for NULL values of the Py_UNICODE* value is
still in; I'm not sure of the conclusion on that issue.

Guido van Rossum eca4784781 Mark Hammond: For Windows debug builds, we now only offer to dump

Fixed a memory leak found by Fredrik Lundh.  Instead of
PyUnicode_AsUTF8String() we now use _PyUnicode_AsUTF8String() which
returns the string object without incremented refcount (and assures
that the so obtained object remains alive until the Unicode object is
garbage collected).

Running "test_extcall" repeatedly results in memory leaks.

One of these can't be fixed (at least not easily!), it happens since
this code:

def saboteur(**kw):
    kw['x'] = locals()
d = {}
saboteur(a=1, **d)

creates a circular reference - d['x']['d']==d

The others are due to some missing decrefs in ceval.c, fixed by the
patch attached below.

Note:  I originally wrote this without the "goto", just adding the
missing decref's where needed.  But I think the goto is justified in
keeping the executable code size of ceval as small as possible.

Guido van Rossum 9e896b37c7 Marc-Andre's third try at this bulk patch seems to work (except that
his copy of test_contains.py seems to be broken -- the lines he
deleted were already absent).  Checkin messages:


New Unicode support for int(), float(), complex() and long().

- new APIs PyInt_FromUnicode() and PyLong_FromUnicode()
- added support for Unicode to PyFloat_FromString()
- new encoding API PyUnicode_EncodeDecimal() which converts
  Unicode to a decimal char* string (used in the above new
  APIs)
- shortcuts for calls like int(<int object>) and float(<float obj>)
- tests for all of the above

Unicode compares and contains checks:
- comparing Unicode and non-string types now works; TypeErrors
  are masked, all other errors such as ValueError during
  Unicode coercion are passed through (note that PyUnicode_Compare
  does not implement the masking -- PyObject_Compare does this)
- contains now works for non-string types too; TypeErrors are
  masked and 0 returned; all other errors are passed through

Better testing support for the standard codecs.

Misc minor enhancements, such as an alias dbcs for the mbcs codec.

Changes:
- PyLong_FromString() now applies the same error checks as
  does PyInt_FromString(): trailing garbage is reported
  as error and not longer silently ignored. The only characters
  which may be trailing the digits are 'L' and 'l' -- these
  are still silently ignored.
- string.ato?() now directly interface to int(), long() and
  float(). The error strings are now a little different, but
  the type still remains the same. These functions are now
  ready to get declared obsolete ;-)
- PyNumber_Int() now also does a check for embedded NULL chars
  in the input string; PyNumber_Long() already did this (and
  still does)

Followed by:

Looks like I've gone a step too far there... (and test_contains.py
seem to have a bug too).

I've changed back to reporting all errors in PyUnicode_Contains()
and added a few more test cases to test_contains.py (plus corrected
the join() NameError).

* Changes to a recent patch by Chris Tismer to errors.c.  Chris' patch
always used FormatMessage() to get the error message passing the error code
from errno - but errno and FormatMessage use a different numbering scheme.
The main reason the patch looked OK was that ENOFILE==ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND -
but that is about the only shared error code :-).  The MS CRT docs tell you
to use _sys_errlist()/_sys_nerr.  My patch does also this, and adds a very
similar function specifically for win32 error codes.
