Thomas Wouters c4dcb3801e Fix issue #1590864, multiple threads and fork() can cause deadlocks, by
acquiring the import lock around fork() calls. This prevents other threads
from having that lock while the fork happens, and is the recommended way of
dealing with such issues. There are two other locks we care about, the GIL
and the Thread Local Storage lock. The GIL is obviously held when calling
Python functions like os.fork(), and the TLS lock is explicitly reallocated
instead, while also deleting now-orphaned TLS data.

This only fixes calls to os.fork(), not extension modules or embedding
programs calling C's fork() directly. Solving that requires a new set of API
functions, and possibly a rewrite of the Python/thread_*.c mess. Add a
warning explaining the problem to the documentation in the mean time.

This also changes behaviour a little on AIX. Before, AIX (but only AIX) was
getting the import lock reallocated, seemingly to avoid this very same
problem. This is not the right approach, because the import lock is a
re-entrant one, and reallocating would do the wrong thing when forking while
holding the import lock.

Will backport to 2.6, minus the tiny AIX behaviour change.

Jeffrey Yasskin 655d835415 Issue #6042:
lnotab-based tracing is very complicated and isn't documented very well.  There
were at least 3 comment blocks purporting to document co_lnotab, and none did a
very good job. This patch unifies them into Objects/lnotab_notes.txt which
tries to completely capture the current state of affairs.

I also discovered that we've attached 2 layers of patches to the basic tracing
scheme. The first layer avoids jumping to instructions that don't start a line,
to avoid problems in if statements and while loops.  The second layer
discovered that jumps backward do need to trace at instructions that don't
start a line, so it added extra lnotab entries for 'while' and 'for' loops, and
added a special case for backward jumps within the same line. I replaced these
patches by just treating forward and backward jumps differently.

Jeffrey Yasskin f7f858d141 Issue 5954, PyFrame_GetLineNumber:
Most uses of PyCode_Addr2Line
(http://www.google.com/codesearch?q=PyCode_Addr2Line) are just trying to get
the line number of a specified frame, but there's no way to do that directly.
Forcing people to go through the code object makes them know more about the
guts of the interpreter than they should need.

The remaining uses of PyCode_Addr2Line seem to be getting the line from a
traceback (for example,
http://www.google.com/codesearch/p?hl=en#u_9_nDrchrw/pygame-1.7.1release/src/base.c&q=PyCode_Addr2Line),
which is replaced by the tb_lineno field.  So we may be able to deprecate
PyCode_Addr2Line entirely for external use.

Jeffrey Yasskin 1aa4700234 PyCode_NewEmpty:

object. This patch adds a PyCode_NewEmpty wrapper which lets the user specify
just the filename, function name, and first line number, instead of also
requiring lots of code internals.

Gregory P. Smith 1d499265e0 Adds the ipaddr module to the standard library. Issue #3959.
Based off of subversion r69 from http://code.google.com/p/ipaddr-py/

This code is 2to3 safe, I'll merge it into py3k later this afternoon.

R. David Murray 636b23a96f Various small fixups to the multiprocessing docs, mostly fixing and
enabling doctests that Sphinx can run, and fixing and disabling tests that
Sphinx can't run.  I hand checked every test not now marked as a doctest,
and all except the two that have open bug reports against them now work,
at least on Linux/trunk. (I did not look at the last example at all since
there was already an open bug).  I did not read the whole document with
an editor's eye, but I did fix a few things I noticed while working on
the tests.

Raymond Hettinger 8b8f8cc1b0 Add example to the seealso section. 2009-04-27 21:12:54 +00:00
R. David Murray ec047e0725 Make sys.xxx variable references into links, note that print_last only
works when an exception gets to the interactive prompt, and update the
examples after testing.  The last one is now a valid Sphinx doctest,
but of the preceding two one can't be made a doctest and the other one
I'm postponing to 3.x because sphinx handles doctests as Unicode strings
and that makes the 2.x output confusing.

Jesse Noller 5053fbbb38 Issue 3551: Raise ValueError if the size causes ERROR_NO_SYSTEM_RESOURCES 2009-04-02 04:22:09 +00:00
Michael Foord 345b2fe21e Better exception messages for unittest assert methods.
- unittest.assertNotEqual() now uses the inequality operator (!=) instead
  of the equality operator.

- Default assertTrue and assertFalse messages are now useful.

- TestCase has a longMessage attribute. This defaults to False, but if set to True
  useful error messages are shown in addition to explicit messages passed to assert methods.

Brett Cannon c4f90ebea7 PyImport_AppendInittab() took a char * as a first argument even though that
string was stored beyond the life of the call. Changed the signature to be
const char * to help make this point.

Closes issue #1419652.

Gregory P. Smith 2839985c7e The unittest.TestCase.assertEqual() now displays the differences in lists,
tuples, dicts and sets on failure.

Many new handy type and comparison specific assert* methods have been added
that fail with error messages actually useful for debugging.  Contributed in
by Google and completed with help from mfoord and GvR at PyCon 2009 sprints.

Barry Warsaw dbf95a3643 A fix for issue 1974, inspired by the patch from Andi Albrecht (aalbrecht),
though with some changes by me.  This patch should not be back ported or
forward ported.  It's a bit too risky for 2.6 and 3.x does things fairly
differently.
