pack_float, pack_double, save_float: All the routines for creating
IEEE-format packed representations of floats and doubles simply ignored
that rounding can (in rare cases) propagate out of a long string of
1 bits. At worst, the end-off carry can (by mistake) interfere with
the exponent value, and then unpacking yields a result wrong by a factor
of 2. In less severe cases, it can end up losing more low-order bits
than intended, or fail to catch overflow *caused* by rounding.
Bugfix candidate, but I already backported this to 2.2.
In 2.3, this code remains in severe need of refactoring.
for specific platforms. Use this to add plat-mac and
plat-mac/lib-scriptpackages on MacOSX. Also tested for not having adverse
effects on Linux, and I think this code isn't used on Windows anyway.
Fixes#661521.
invalid, rather than returning a string of random garbage of the
estimated result length. Closes SF patch #703471 by Hye-Shik Chang.
Will backport to 2.2-maint (consider it done.)
it instead of the OS-specific <linux/soundcard.h> or <machine/soundcard.h>.
Mixers devices have an ioctl-only interface, no read/write -- so the
flags passed to open() don't really matter. Thus, drop the 'mode'
parameter to openmixer() (ie. second arg to newossmixerobject()) and
always open mixers with O_RDWR.
- The applet logic has been replaced to bundlebuilder's bootstrap script
- Due to Apple being extremely string about argv[0], we need a way to
specify the actual executable name for use with sys.executable. See
the comment embedded in the code.
- Implement the behavior as specified in PEP 277, meaning os.listdir()
will only return unicode strings if it is _called_ with a unicode
argument.
- And then return only unicode, don't attempt to convert to ASCII.
- Don't switch on Py_FileSystemDefaultEncoding, but simply use the
default encoding if Py_FileSystemDefaultEncoding is NULL. This means
os.listdir() can now raise UnicodeDecodeError if the default encoding
can't represent the directory entry. (This seems better than silcencing
the error and fall back to a byte string.)
- Attempted to decribe the above in Doc/lib/libos.tex.
- Reworded the Misc/NEWS items to reflect the current situation.
This checkin also fixes bug #696261, which was due to os.listdir() not
using Py_FileSystemDefaultEncoding, like all file system calls are
supposed to.
[ 555817 ] Flawed fcntl.ioctl implementation.
with my patch that allows for an array to be mutated when passed
as the buffer argument to ioctl() (details complicated by
backwards compatibility considerations -- read the docs!).
Change setup.py to catch all exceptions.
- Rename module if the exception was an ImportError
- Only warn if the exception was any other error
Revert _iconv_codec to raising a RuntimeError.
(see SF bug #690309) and raise ImportErrors instead of
RuntimeErrors, so building Python continues even
if importing iconv_codecs fails.
This is a temporary fix until we get proper configure
support for "broken" iconv implementations.
is required for the chosen internal encoding in the init function,
as this seems to have a better chance of working under Irix and
Solaris.
Also change the test character from '\x01' to '0'.
This might fix SF bug #690309.
Rather than trying to second-guess the various error returns
of a second connect(), use select() to determine whether the
socket becomes writable (which means connected).
