[ 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.
A problem regarding importing symlinked modules was recently reported on the
Cygwin mailing list:
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2005-04/msg00257.html
The following test case demonstrates the problem:
$ ls -l
total 1
lrwxrwxrwx 1 jt None 6 Apr 23 13:32 bar.py -> foo.py
-rw-r--r-- 1 jt None 24 Apr 18 20:13 foo.py
$ python -c 'import bar'
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 1, in ?
ImportError: No module named bar
Since Cygwin's case_ok() uses a modified version of the Windows's version, the
symlinked bar module actually resolves to file foo.py instead of bar.py. This
obviously causes the matching code to fail (regardless of case).
The patch fixes this problem by making Cygwin use the Mac OS X case_ok()
instead of a modified Window's version.
crashing, and indirectly on the fact that hash codes in
random.randrange(1000000000) were very unlikely to exhibit collisions.
To see the problem, replace this number with 500 and observe the crash on
either del target[key] or del keys[i].
The fix prevents recursive mutation, just as in the key insertion case.
* Fixed incorrect wording: expression->exception
* Noted the specific exception reported by "raise" when the is nothing
to re-raise.
* Eliminated several instances of "e.g." as recommended in the style guide.
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.
Applied patch #1109424. Thanks Walter Doewald.
byte, even if the user has passed a size parameter. This extra byte shouldn't
cause a buffer overflow in the tokenizer. The original plan was to return a line
ending in '\r', which might be recognizable as a complete line and skip any '\n'
that was read afterwards. Unfortunately this didn't work, as the tokenizer only
recognizes '\n' as line ends, which in turn lead to joined lines and
SyntaxErrors, so this special treatment of a split '\r\n' has been dropped. (It
can only happen with a temporarily exhausted bytestream now anyway.)
Fixes parts of SF bugs #1163244 and #1175396.
