Guido van Rossum 2da0ea82ba In try_3way_to_rich_compare(), swap the call to default_3way_compare()
and the test for errors, so that an error in the default compare
doesn't go undetected.  This fixes SF Bug #132933 (submitted by
effbot) -- list.sort doesn't detect comparision errors.

Barry Warsaw 903138f775 PyObject_Dump(): Use %p format to print the address of the pointer.

Barry Warsaw 9bf16440f4 A few miscellaneous helpers.
PyObject_Dump(): New function that is useful when debugging Python's C
runtime.  In something like gdb it can be a pain to get some useful
information out of PyObject*'s.  This function prints the str() of the
object to stderr, along with the object's refcount and hex address.

PyGC_Dump(): Similar to PyObject_Dump() but knows how to cast from the
garbage collector prefix back to the PyObject* structure.

[See Misc/gdbinit for some useful gdb hooks]

none_dealloc(): Rather than SEGV if we accidentally decref None out of
existance, we assign None's and NotImplemented's destructor slot to
this function, which just calls abort().

Barry Warsaw b0e754d488 Tim chastens:
Barry, that comment belongs in the code, not in the checkin msg.
    The code *used* to do this correctly (as you well know, since you
    & I went thru considerable pain to fix this the first time).
    However, because the *reason* for the convolution wasn't recorded
    in the code as a comment, somebody threw it all away the first
    time it got reworked.

default_3way_compare(): Stick the checkin message from 2.110 in a
comment.

Barry Warsaw 71ff8d5dc5 default_3way_compare(): When comparing the pointers, they must be cast
to integer types (i.e. Py_uintptr_t, our spelling of C9X's uintptr_t).
ANSI specifies that pointer compares other than == and != to
non-related structures are undefined.  This quiets an Insure
portability warning.

Guido van Rossum 41c3244875 Rich comparisons fallout: PyObject_Hash() should check for both
tp_compare and tp_richcompare NULL before deciding to do a quickie
based on the object address.  (Tim Peters discovered this.)
2001-01-18 23:33:37 +00:00
Guido van Rossum a3af41d564 Changes to recursive-object comparisons, having to do with a test case
I found where rich comparison of unequal recursive objects gave
unintuituve results.  In a discussion with Tim, where we discovered
that our intuition on when a<=b should be true was failing, we decided
to outlaw ordering comparisons on recursive objects.  (Once we have
fixed our intuition and designed a matching algorithm that's practical
and reasonable to implement, we can allow such orderings again.)

- Refactored the recursive-object comparison framework; more is now
  done in the support routines so less needs to be done in the calling
  routines (even at the expense of slowing it down a bit -- this
  should normally never be invoked, it's mostly just there to avoid
  blowing up the interpreter).

- Changed the framework so that the comparison operator used is also
  stored.  (The dictionary now stores triples (v, w, op) instead of
  pairs (v, w).)

- Changed the nesting limit to a more reasonable small 20; this only
  slows down comparisons of very deeply nested objects (unlikely to
  occur in practice), while speeding up comparisons of recursive
  objects (previously, this would first waste time and space on 500
  nested comparisons before it would start detecting recursion).

- Changed rich comparisons for recursive objects to raise a ValueError
  exception when recursion is detected for ordering oprators (<, <=,
  >, >=).

Unrelated change:

- Moved PyObject_Unicode() to just under PyObject_Str(), where it
  belongs.  MAL's patch must've inserted in a random spot between two
  functions in the file -- between two helpers for rich comparison...
2001-01-18 22:07:06 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 2ffbf6b112 Deal properly (?) with comparing recursive datastructures.
- Use the compare nesting level and in-progress dictionary properly in
  PyObject_RichCompare().

- Change the in-progress code to use static variables instead of
  globals (both the nesting level and the key for the thread dict were
  globals but have no reason to be globals; the key can even be a
  function-static variable in get_inprogress_dict()).

- Rewrote try_rich_to_3way_compare() to benefit from the similarity of
  the three cases, making it table-driven.

- In try_rich_to_3way_compare(), test for EQ before LT and GT.  This
  turns out essential when comparing recursive UserList instances;
  with the old code, these would recurse into rich comparison three
  times for each nesting level up to NESTING_LIMIT/2, making the total
  number of calls in the order of 3**(NESTING_LIMIT/2)!

NOTE: I'm not 100% comfortable with this.  It works for the standard
test suite (which compares a few trivial recursive data structures
only), but I'm not sure that the in-progress dictionary is used
properly by the rich comparison code.  Jeremy suggested that maybe the
operation should be included in the dict.  Currently I presume that
objects in the dict are equal unless proven otherwise, and I set the
outcome for the rich comparison accordingly: true for operators EQ,
LE, GE, and false for the other three.  But Jeremy seems to think that
there may be counter-examples where this doesn't do the right thing.

Marc-André Lemburg ad7c98e264 This patch adds a new builtin unistr() which behaves like str()
except that it always returns Unicode objects.

Guido van Rossum e797ec1cb8 Rich comparisons. Refactored internal routine do_cmp() and added APIs
PyObject_RichCompare() and PyObject_RichCompareBool().

XXX Note: the code that checks for deeply nested rich comparisons is
bogus -- it assumes the two objects are always identical, rather than
using the same logic as PyObject_Compare().  I'll fix that later.

Marc-André Lemburg e44e507b0e PyObject_SetAttr() and PyObject_GetAttr() now also accept Unicode
objects for the attribute name. Unicode objects are converted to
a string using the default encoding before trying the lookup.

Note that previously it was allowed to pass arbitrary objects as
attribute name in case the tp_getattro/setattro slots were defined.
This patch fixes this by applying an explicit string check first:
all uses of these slots expect string objects and do not check
for the type resulting in a core dump. The tp_getattro/setattro
are still useful as optimization for lookups using interned
string objects though.

This patch fixes bug #113829.

Tim Peters 39dce29365 Fix for http://sourceforge.net/bugs/?func=detailbug&bug_id=111866&group_id=5470.
This was a misleading bug -- the true "bug" was that hash(x) gave an error
return when x is an infinity.  Fixed that.  Added new Py_IS_INFINITY macro to
pyport.h.  Rearranged code to reduce growing duplication in hashing of float and
complex numbers, pushing Trent's earlier stab at that to a logical conclusion.
Fixed exceedingly rare bug where hashing of floats could return -1 even if there
wasn't an error (didn't waste time trying to construct a test case, it was simply
obvious from the code that it *could* happen).  Improved complex hash so that
hash(complex(x, y)) doesn't systematically equal hash(complex(y, x)) anymore.

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 a44d353e2b 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.

Jeremy Hylton c5007aa5c3 final patches from Neil Schemenauer for garbage collection 2000-06-30 05:02:53 +00:00
Fred Drake 13634cf7a4 This patch addresses two main issues: (1) There exist some non-fatal
errors in some of the hash algorithms. For exmaple, in float_hash and
complex_hash a certain part of the value is not included in the hash
calculation. See Tim's, Guido's, and my discussion of this on
python-dev in May under the title "fix float_hash and complex_hash for
64-bit *nix"

(2) The hash algorithms that use pointers (e.g. func_hash, code_hash)
are universally not correct on Win64 (they assume that sizeof(long) ==
sizeof(void*))

As well, this patch significantly cleans up the hash code. It adds the
two function _Py_HashDouble and _PyHash_VoidPtr that the various
hashing routine are changed to use.

These help maintain the hash function invariant: (a==b) =>
(hash(a)==hash(b))) I have added Lib/test/test_hash.py and
Lib/test/output/test_hash to test this for some cases.
