Assorted: bump the serial number via a trivial new bumpserialno()
function. The point is to give a single place to set a breakpoint when
waiting for a specific serial number.
of get_line. This makes test_bufio finish in 1.7 seconds instead of 57
seconds on my machine (with Py_DEBUG defined).
Also, rename the local variables n1 and n2 to used_v_size and
total_v_size.
When WITH_PYMALLOC is defined, define PYMALLOC_DEBUG to enable the debug
allocator. This can be done independent of build type (release or debug).
A debug build automatically defines PYMALLOC_DEBUG when pymalloc is
enabled. It's a detected error to define PYMALLOC_DEBUG when pymalloc
isn't enabled.
Two debugging entry points defined only under PYMALLOC_DEBUG:
+ _PyMalloc_DebugCheckAddress(const void *p) can be used (e.g., from gdb)
to sanity-check a memory block obtained from pymalloc. It sprays
info to stderr (see next) and dies via Py_FatalError if the block is
detectably damaged.
+ _PyMalloc_DebugDumpAddress(const void *p) can be used to spray info
about a debug memory block to stderr.
A tiny start at implementing "API family" checks isn't good for
anything yet.
_PyMalloc_DebugRealloc() has been optimized to do little when the new
size is <= old size. However, if the new size is larger, it really
can't call the underlying realloc() routine without either violating its
contract, or knowing something non-trivial about how the underlying
realloc() works. A memcpy is always done in this case.
This was a disaster for (and only) one of the std tests: test_bufio
creates single text file lines up to a million characters long. On
Windows, fileobject.c's get_line() uses the horridly funky
getline_via_fgets(), which keeps growing and growing a string object
hoping to find a newline. It grew the string object 1000 bytes each
time, so for a million-character string it took approximately forever
(I gave up after a few minutes).
So, also:
fileobject.c, getline_via_fgets(): When a single line is outrageously
long, grow the string object at a mildly exponential rate, instead of
just 1000 bytes at a time.
That's enough so that a debug-build test_bufio finishes in about 5 seconds
on my Win98SE box. I'm curious to try this on Win2K, because it has very
different memory behavior than Win9X, and test_bufio always took a factor
of 10 longer to complete on Win2K. It *could* be that the endless
reallocs were simply killing it on Win2K even in the release build.
One more time on this turkey, but duller instead of cleverer.
Curious: The docs say __getslice__ has been deprecated since 2.0, but
list.__getitem__ still doesn't work if you pass it a slice. This makes
it a lot clearer to emulate a list by *being* a list <wink>.
Bugfix candidate. Michael, just pile this patch on top of the others
that went by -- no need to try to pick these apart.
Also move all _PyMalloc_XXX entry points into obmalloc.c.
The Windows build works fine.
The Unix build is changed here (Makefile.pre.in), but not tested.
No other platform's build process has been fiddled.
and not pymalloc. Add the functions PyMalloc_New, PyMalloc_NewVar, and
PyMalloc_Del that will use pymalloc if it's enabled. If pymalloc is
not enabled then they use the standard malloc (PyMem_*).
Konrad was too kind. Not only did it raise an exception, the specific
exception it raised made no sense. These are old bugs in complex_pow()
and friends:
1. Raising 0 to a negative power isn't a range error, it's a domain
error, so changed c_pow() to set errno to EDOM in that case instead
of ERANGE.
2. Changed complex_pow() to:
A. Used the Py_ADJUST_ERANGE2 macro to try to clear errno of a spurious
ERANGE error due to underflow in the libm pow() called by c_pow().
B. Produced different exceptions depending on the errno value:
i) For errno==EDOM, raise ZeroDivisionError instead of ValueError.
This is for consistency with the non-complex cases 0.0**-2 and
0**-2 and 0L**-2.
ii) For errno==ERANGE, raise OverflowError.
Bugfix candidate.
* 'macdef' (macro definition) wasn't parsed correctly
* account value not reset for a subsequent 'default' line
* typo: 'whitepace' -> 'whitespace'
