Jeremy Hylton e4fb958fc2 remove reference (vestigal) to CALL_FUNCTION_STAR 2000-03-29 00:10:44 +00:00
Jeremy Hylton 7690151c7e slightly modified version of Greg Ewing's extended call syntax patch
executive summary:
Instead of typing 'apply(f, args, kwargs)' you can type 'f(*arg, **kwargs)'.
Some file-by-file details follow.

Grammar/Grammar:
    simplify varargslist, replacing '*' '*' with '**'
    add * & ** options to arglist

Include/opcode.h & Lib/dis.py:
    define three new opcodes
        CALL_FUNCTION_VAR
        CALL_FUNCTION_KW
        CALL_FUNCTION_VAR_KW

Python/ceval.c:
    extend TypeError "keyword parameter redefined" message to include
        the name of the offending keyword
    reindent CALL_FUNCTION using four spaces
    add handling of sequences and dictionaries using extend calls
    fix function import_from to use PyErr_Format

Guido van Rossum 24bdb0474f Marc-Andre Lemburg:
The attached patch set includes a workaround to get Python with
Unicode compile on BSDI 4.x (courtesy Thomas Wouters; the cause
is a bug in the BSDI wchar.h header file) and Python interfaces
for the MBCS codec donated by Mark Hammond.

Also included are some minor corrections w/r to the docs of
the new "es" and "es#" parser markers (use PyMem_Free() instead
of free(); thanks to Mark Hammond for finding these).

The unicodedata tests are now in a separate file
(test_unicodedata.py) to avoid problems if the module cannot
be found.

Guido van Rossum d8855fde88 Marc-Andre Lemburg:
Attached you find the latest update of the Unicode implementation.
The patch is against the current CVS version.

It includes the fix I posted yesterday for the core dump problem
in codecs.c (was introduced by my previous patch set -- sorry),
adds more tests for the codecs and two new parser markers
"es" and "es#".

Guido van Rossum 5ba3c843db Marc-Andre Lemburg:
Andy Robinson noted a core dump in the codecs.c file. This
was introduced by my latest patch which fixed a memory leak
in codecs.c. The bug causes all successful codec lookups to fail.

    The patch is against the current CVS version. I would appreciate
    if someone with CVS checkin permissions could check the changes
    in.

    The patch contains all bugs and patches sent this week and also
    fixes a leak in the codecs code and a bug in the free list code
    for Unicode objects (which only shows up when compiling Python
    with Py_DEBUG; thanks to MarkH for spotting this one).

Guido van Rossum d724b23420 Christian Tismer's "trashcan" patch:
Added wrapping macros to dictobject.c, listobject.c, tupleobject.c,
frameobject.c, traceback.c that safely prevends core dumps
on stack overflow. Macros and functions in object.c, object.h.
The method is an "elevator destructor" that turns cascading
deletes into tail recursive behavior when some limit is hit.

Guido van Rossum 584b16a1f3 Mark pointed out a buglet in his patch: i < _sys_nerr isn't strong
enough, it could be negative.  Add i > 0 test.  (Not i >= 0; zero isn't
a valid error number.)
2000-02-21 16:50:31 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 795e189d28 Patch by Mark Hammond:
* 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.

Guido van Rossum a400d8a96d Fix a bug in exec_statement() noted incidentally by Tim Peters in
PR#175 -- when exec is passed a code object, it didn't sync the locals
from the dictionary back into their fast representation.

Also took the time to remove some repetitive code there and to do the
syncing even when an exception is raised (since a partial effect
should still be synced).

Guido van Rossum 96a8fb7e99 Cleanup patches from Greg Stein:
* in import.c, #ifdef out references to dynamic loading based on
  HAVE_DYNAMIC_LOADING

* clean out the platform-specific crud from importdl.c.
  [ maybe fold this function into import.c and drop the importdl.c file? Greg.]

* change GetDynLoadFunc's "funcname" parameter to "shortname". change
  "name" to "fqname" for clarification.

* each GetDynLoadFunc now creates its own funcname value.

  WARNING: as I mentioned previously, we may run into an issue with a
  missing "_" on some platforms. Testing will show this pretty quickly,
  however.

* move pathname munging into dynload_shlib.c

Guido van Rossum 96b5ee88ee Vladimir Marangozov:

function's 1st arg is prototyped as "char *pathname".

Guido van Rossum 25da5bebd8 Fix PR117. The error message is "keywords must be strings". Perhaps
not as descriptive as what Barry suggests, but this also catches the
(in my opinion important) case where some other C code besides apply()
constructs a kwdict that doesn't have the right format.  All the other
possibilities of getting it wrong (non-dict, wrong keywords etc) are
already caught so this makes sense to check here.

For a long time I've seen absurd tracebacks under -O (e.g., negative

Guido van Rossum 933c91ebcf Vladimir Marangozov fixes an AIX-specific problem, writing:
"""
Following up Robin Dunn's troubles with freeze, here's a patch that
fixes an oddity regarding the import logic of shared modules on AIX.

Symbol resolution of shared modules is now handled properly for the cases
when the python library is linked to a binary with an arbitrary name.
This includes the standard python[version] executable, but also applications
that are embedding the python core (i.e. linked with libpython[version].a,
the latter being static or shared).

Guido van Rossum 8746082175 Patch by Tim Peters:
Introduce a new builtin exception, UnboundLocalError, raised when ceval.c
tries to retrieve or delete a local name that isn't bound to a value.
Currently raises NameError, which makes this behavior a FAQ since the same
error is raised for "missing" global names too:  when the user has a global
of the same name as the unbound local, NameError makes no sense to them.
Even in the absence of shadowing, knowing whether a bogus name is local or
global is a real aid to quick understanding.

Example:

D:\src\PCbuild>type local.py
x = 42

def f():
    print x
    x = 13
    return x

f()

D:\src\PCbuild>python local.py
Traceback (innermost last):
  File "local.py", line 8, in ?
    f()
  File "local.py", line 4, in f
    print x
UnboundLocalError: x

D:\src\PCbuild>

Note that UnboundLocalError is a subclass of NameError, for compatibility
with existing class-exception code that may be trying to catch this as a
NameError.  Unfortunately, I see no way to make this wholly compatible
with -X (see comments in bltinmodule.c):  under -X, [UnboundLocalError
is an alias for NameError --GvR].

[The ceval.c patch differs slightly from the second version that Tim
submitted; I decided not to raise UnboundLocalError for DELETE_NAME,
only for DELETE_LOCAL.  DELETE_NAME is only generated at the module
level, and since at that level a NameError is raised for referencing
an undefined name, it should also be raised for deleting one.]
1999-06-22 14:47:32 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 1d5ad90c1c CRITICAL PATCH!
We occasionally received reports from people getting "invalid tstate"
crashes (this is a fatal error in PyThreadState_Delete()).  Finally
several people were able to reproduce it reliably and Tim Peters
discovered that there is a race condition when multiple threads are
calling this function without holding the global interpreter lock (the
function may be called without holding that).

Solved the race condition by adding a lock around the mutating uses of
interp->tstate_head.  Tim and Jonathan Giddy have run tests that make
it likely that this fixes the crashes -- although Tim hasn't heard
from the person who reported the original problem.
