The following patch adds "sq_contains" support to rangeobject, and enables
the already-written support for sq_contains in listobject and tupleobject.
The rangeobject "contains" code should be a bit more efficient than the
current default "in" implementation ;-) It might not get used much, but it's
not that much to add.
listobject.c and tupleobject.c already had code for sq_contains, and the
proper struct member was set, but the PyType structure was not extended to
include tp_flags, so the object-specific code was not getting called (Go
ahead, test it ;-). I also did this for the immutable_list_type in
listobject.c, eventhough it is probably never used. Symmetry and all that.
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.)
entirely redone operator overloading. The rules for class
instances are now much more relaxed than for other built-in types
(whose coerce must still return two objects of the same type)
* Objects/floatobject.c: add overflow check when converting float
to int and implement truncation towards zero using ceil/float
* Objects/longobject.c: change ValueError to OverflowError when
converting to int
* Objects/rangeobject.c: modernized
* Objects/stringobject.c: use HAVE_LIMITS instead of __STDC__
* Objects/xxobject.c: changed to use new style (not finished?)
* PROTO.h, mymalloc.h: added #ifdefs for TURBOC and GNUC.
* allobjects.h: added #include "rangeobject.h"
* Grammar: added lambda_input; relaxed syntax for exec.
* bltinmodule.c: added bagof, map, reduce, lambda, xrange.
* tupleobject.[ch]: added resizetuple().
* rangeobject.[ch]: new object type to speed up range operations (not
convinced this is needed!!!)
