Alex Martelli 348dc88097 Reverting the patch that tried to fix the issue whereby x**2 raises
OverflowError while x*x succeeds and produces infinity; apparently
these inconsistencies cannot be fixed across ``all'' platforms and
there's a widespread feeling that therefore ``every'' platform
should keep suffering forevermore.  Ah well.
2006-08-23 22:17:59 +00:00
Alex Martelli 20362a820b x**2 should about equal x*x (including for a float x such that the result is
inf) but didn't; added a test to test_float to verify that, and ignored the
ERANGE value for errno in the pow operation to make the new test pass (with
help from Marilyn Davis at the Google Python Sprint -- thanks!).

Kristján Valur Jónsson f94323fbb4 Added a new macro, Py_IS_FINITE(X). On windows there is an intrinsic for this and it is more efficient than to use !Py_IS_INFINITE(X) && !Py_IS_NAN(X). No change on other platforms 2006-05-25 15:53:30 +00:00

Anthony Baxter 377be11ee1 More C++-compliance. Note especially listobject.c - to get C++ to accept the
PyTypeObject structures, I had to make prototypes for the functions, and
move the structure definition ahead of the functions. I'd dearly like a better
way to do this - to change this would make for a massive set of changes to
the codebase.

There's still some warnings - this is purely to get rid of errors first.

Jeremy Hylton af68c874a6 Add const to several API functions that take char *.
In C++, it's an error to pass a string literal to a char* function
without a const_cast().  Rather than require every C++ extension
module to put a cast around string literals, fix the API to state the
const-ness.

I focused on parts of the API where people usually pass literals:
PyArg_ParseTuple() and friends, Py_BuildValue(), PyMethodDef, the type
slots, etc.  Predictably, there were a large set of functions that
needed to be fixed as a result of these changes.  The most pervasive
change was to make the keyword args list passed to
PyArg_ParseTupleAndKewords() to be a const char *kwlist[].

One cast was required as a result of the changes:  A type object
mallocs the memory for its tp_doc slot and later frees it.
PyTypeObject says that tp_doc is const char *; but if the type was
created by type_new(), we know it is safe to cast to char *.

Michael W. Hudson ba283e2b7f This is my patch:
[ 1181301 ] make float packing copy bytes when they can

which hasn't been reviewed, despite numerous threats to check it in
anyway if noone reviews it.  Please read the diff on the checkin list,
at least!

The basic idea is to examine the bytes of some 'probe values' to see if
the current platform is a IEEE 754-ish platform, and if so
_PyFloat_{Pack,Unpack}{4,8} just copy bytes around.

The rest is hair for testing, and tests.

Brett Cannon c3647ac93e Make subclasses of int, long, complex, float, and unicode perform type
conversion using the proper magic slot (e.g., __int__()).  Also move conversion
code out of PyNumber_*() functions in the C API into the nb_* function.

Tim Peters 307fa78107 SF bug #513866: Float/long comparison anomaly.
When an integer is compared to a float now, the int isn't coerced to float.
This avoids spurious overflow exceptions and insane results.  This should
compute correct results, without raising spurious exceptions, in all cases
now -- although I expect that what happens when an int/long is compared to
a NaN is still a platform accident.

Note that we had potential problems here even with "short" ints, on boxes
where sizeof(long)==8.  There's #ifdef'ed code here to handle that, but
I can't test it as intended.  I tested it by changing the #ifdef to
trigger on my 32-bit box instead.

I suppose this is a bugfix candidate, but I won't backport it.  It's
long-winded (for speed) and messy (because the problem is messy).  Note
that this also depends on a previous 2.4 patch that introduced
_Py_SwappedOp[] as an extern.

Guido van Rossum e3a8e7ed1d Call me anal, but there was a particular phrase that was speading to
comments everywhere that bugged me: /* Foo is inlined */ instead of
/* Inline Foo */.  Somehow the "is inlined" phrase always confused me
for half a second (thinking, "No it isn't" until I added the missing
"here").  The new phrase is hopefully unambiguous.

Jeremy Hylton 938ace69a0 staticforward bites the dust.
The staticforward define was needed to support certain broken C
compilers (notably SCO ODT 3.0, perhaps early AIX as well) botched the
static keyword when it was used with a forward declaration of a static
initialized structure.  Standard C allows the forward declaration with
static, and we've decided to stop catering to broken C compilers.  (In
fact, we expect that the compilers are all fixed eight years later.)

I'm leaving staticforward and statichere defined in object.h as
static.  This is only for backwards compatibility with C extensions
that might still use it.

XXX I haven't updated the documentation.

Tim Peters dc5a508761 SF bug 525705: [2.2] underflow raise OverflowException.
Another year in the quest to out-guess random C behavior.

Added macros Py_ADJUST_ERANGE1(X) and Py_ADJUST_ERANGE2(X, Y).  The latter
is useful for functions with complex results.  Two corrections to errno-
after-libm-call are attempted:

1. If the platform set errno to ERANGE due to underflow, clear errno.
   Some unknown subset of libm versions and link options do this.  It's
   allowed by C89, but I never figured anyone would do it.

2. If the platform did not set errno but overflow occurred, force
   errno to ERANGE.  C89 required setting errno to ERANGE, but C99
   doesn't.  Some unknown subset of libm versions and link options do
   it the C99 way now.

Bugfix candidate, but hold off until some Linux people actually try it,
with and without -lieee.  I'll send a help plea to Python-Dev.

Tim Peters faf0cd21ed float_abs() again: Guido pointed out that this could screw up in the

Guido van Rossum e2ae77b8b8 SF patch #474590 -- RISC OS support 2001-10-24 20:42:55 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 9475a2310d Enable GC for new-style instances. This touches lots of files, since
many types were subclassable but had a xxx_dealloc function that
called PyObject_DEL(self) directly instead of deferring to
self->ob_type->tp_free(self).  It is permissible to set tp_free in the
type object directly to _PyObject_Del, for non-GC types, or to
_PyObject_GC_Del, for GC types.  Still, PyObject_DEL was a tad faster,
so I'm fearing that our pystone rating is going down again.  I'm not
sure if doing something like

void xxx_dealloc(PyObject *self)
{
	if (PyXxxCheckExact(self))
		PyObject_DEL(self);
	else
		self->ob_type->tp_free(self);
}

is any faster than always calling the else branch, so I haven't
attempted that -- however those types whose own dealloc is fancier
(int, float, unicode) do use this pattern.
2001-10-05 20:51:39 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 1952e388ca Add additional coercion support for "self subtypes" to int, long,

Tim Peters 97f4a33e12 Better error msg for 3-arg pow with a float argument. 2001-09-05 23:49:24 +00:00
Tim Peters a40c793d06 Rework the way we try to check for libm overflow, given that C99 no longer
requires that errno ever get set, and it looks like glibc is already
playing that game.  New rules:

+ Never use HUGE_VAL.  Use the new Py_HUGE_VAL instead.

+ Never believe errno.  If overflow is the only thing you're interested in,
  use the new Py_OVERFLOWED(x) macro.  If you're interested in any libm
  errors, use the new Py_SET_ERANGE_IF_OVERFLOW(x) macro, which attempts
  to set errno the way C89 said it worked.

Unfortunately, none of these are reliable, but they work on Windows and I
*expect* under glibc too.

Tim Peters 9fffa3eea3 Raise OverflowError when appropriate on long->float conversion. Most of
the fiddling is simply due to that no caller of PyLong_AsDouble ever
checked for failure (so that's fixing old bugs).  PyLong_AsDouble is much
faster for big inputs now too, but that's more of a happy consequence
than a design goal.

Guido van Rossum 1832de4bc0 PEP 238 documented -Qwarn as warning only for classic int or long

Tim Peters 32f453eaa4 New restriction on pow(x, y, z): If z is not None, x and y must be of

http://sf.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=457066&group_id=5470&atid=105470
2001-09-03 08:35:41 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 393661d15f Add warning mode for classic division, almost exactly as specified in
PEP 238.  Changes:

- add a new flag variable Py_DivisionWarningFlag, declared in
  pydebug.h, defined in object.c, set in main.c, and used in
  {int,long,float,complex}object.c.  When this flag is set, the
  classic division operator issues a DeprecationWarning message.

- add a new API PyRun_SimpleStringFlags() to match
  PyRun_SimpleString().  The main() function calls this so that
  commands run with -c can also benefit from -Dnew.

- While I was at it, I changed the usage message in main() somewhat:
  alphabetized the options, split it in *four* parts to fit in under
  512 bytes (not that I still believe this is necessary -- doc strings
  elsewhere are much longer), and perhaps most visibly, don't display
  the full list of options on each command line error.  Instead, the
  full list is only displayed when -h is used, and otherwise a brief
  reminder of -h is displayed.  When -h is used, write to stdout so
  that you can do `python -h | more'.

Notes:

- I don't want to use the -W option to control whether the classic
  division warning is issued or not, because the machinery to decide
  whether to display the warning or not is very expensive (it involves
  calling into the warnings.py module).  You can use -Werror to turn
  the warnings into exceptions though.

- The -Dnew option doesn't select future division for all of the
  program -- only for the __main__ module.  I don't know if I'll ever
  change this -- it would require changes to the .pyc file magic
  number to do it right, and a more global notion of compiler flags.

- You can usefully combine -Dwarn and -Dnew: this gives the __main__
  module new division, and warns about classic division everywhere
  else.

Tim Peters 96685bfbf0 float_pow: Put *all* of the burden on the libm pow in normal
cases.
powu:  Deleted.

This started with a nonsensical error msg:

>>> x = -1.
>>> import sys
>>> x**(-sys.maxint-1L)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
ValueError: negative number cannot be raised to a fractional power
>>>

The special-casing in float_pow was simply wrong in this case (there's
not even anything peculiar about these inputs), and I don't see any point
to it in *any* case:  a decent libm pow should have worst-case error under
1 ULP, so in particular should deliver the exact result whenever the exact
result is representable (else its error is at least 1 ULP).  Thus our
special fiddling for integral values "shouldn't" buy anything in accuracy,
and, to the contrary, repeated multiplication is less accurate than a
decent pow when the true result isn't exactly representable.  So just
letting pow() do its job here (we may not be able to trust libm x-platform
in exceptional cases, but these are normal cases).

Guido van Rossum 4668b000a1 Implement PEP 238 in its (almost) full glory.
This introduces:

- A new operator // that means floor division (the kind of division
  where 1/2 is 0).

- The "future division" statement ("from __future__ import division)
  which changes the meaning of the / operator to implement "true
  division" (where 1/2 is 0.5).

- New overloadable operators __truediv__ and __floordiv__.

- New slots in the PyNumberMethods struct for true and floor division,
  new abstract APIs for them, new opcodes, and so on.

I emphasize that without the future division statement, the semantics
of / will remain unchanged until Python 3.0.

Not yet implemented are warnings (default off) when / is used with int
or long arguments.

This has been on display since 7/31 as SF patch #443474.

Tim Peters c54d19043a SF bug 115831 and Ping's SF patch 101751, 0.0**-2.0 returns inf rather than
raise ValueError.  Checked in the patch as far as it went, but also changed
all of ints, longs and floats to raise ZeroDivisionError instead when raising
0 to a negative number.  This is what 754-inspired stds require, as the "true
result" is an infinity obtained from finite operands, i.e. it's a singularity.
Also changed float pow to not be so timid about using its square-and-multiply
algorithm.  Note that what math.pow does is unrelated to what builtin pow
does, and will still vary by platform.

Tim Peters ef14d73b7a Fix for SF bug 110624: float literals behave inconsistently.
I fixed the specific complaint but left the (many) large issues untouched.
See the (very long) bug report discussion for why:
    http://sourceforge.net/bugs/?func=detailbug&group_id=5470&bug_id=110624
Note that while I left the interface to the undocumented public API function
PyFloat_FromString alone, its 2nd argument is useless.  From a comment block
in the code:

RED_FLAG 22-Sep-2000 tim
PyFloat_FromString's pend argument is braindead.  Prior to this RED_FLAG,

1.  If v was a regular string, *pend was set to point to its terminating
    null byte.  That's useless (the caller can find that without any
    help from this function!).

2.  If v was a Unicode string, or an object convertible to a character
    buffer, *pend was set to point into stack trash (the auto temp
    vector holding the character buffer).  That was downright dangerous.

Since we can't change the interface of a public API function, pend is
still supported but now *officially* useless:  if pend is not NULL,
*pend is set to NULL.

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.

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.

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.

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
made a few changes, and Vladimir sent me a fix in private email for a
problem that only occurs in debug mode.  I'm also holding back on his
change to main.c, which seems unnecessary to me.)

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).
