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.
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 ;)
Trent Mick <trentm@activestate.com>:
Fix PC/msvcrtmodule.c and PC/winreg.c for Win64. Basically:
- sizeof(HKEY) > sizeof(long) on Win64, so use PyLong_FromVoidPtr()
instead of PyInt_FromLong() to return HKEY values on Win64
- Check for string overflow of an arbitrary registry value (I know
that ensuring that a registry value does not overflow 2**31 characters
seems ridiculous but it is *possible*).
Closes SourceForge patch #100517.
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.
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.)
