Move the long-winded, multiply-nested -R support out
of runtest() and into some module-level helper functions.
This makes runtest() and the -R code easier to follow.
That in turn allowed seeing some opportunities for code
simplification, and made it obvious that reglog.txt
never got closed.
in BerkeleyDB >= 4.2 it tried to construct a list out of an uninitialized
char **log_list.
feature: export the DB_ARCH_REMOVE flag by name in the module on BerkeleyDB >= 4.2.
46640 Patch #1454481: Make thread stack size runtime tunable.
46647 Markup fix
The first is causing many buildbots to fail test runs, and there
are multiple causes with seemingly no immediate prospects for
repairing them. See python-dev discussion.
Note that a branch can (and should) be created for resolving these
problems, like
svn copy svn+ssh://svn.python.org/python/trunk -r46640 svn+ssh://svn.python.org/python/branches/NEW_BRANCH
followed by merging rev 46647 to the new branch.
- Following Guido's comments, renamed
* pack_to -> pack_into
* recv_buf -> recv_into
* recvfrom_buf -> recvfrom_into
- Made fixes to _struct.c according to Neal Norwitz comments on the checkins
list.
- Converted some ints into the appropriate -- I hope -- ssize_t and size_t.
to each allocated block. This was using 4 bytes for each such
piece of info regardless of platform. This didn't really matter
before (proof: no bug reports, and the debug-build obmalloc would
have assert-failed if it was ever asked for a chunk of memory
>= 2**32 bytes), since container indices were plain ints. But after
the Py_ssize_t changes, it's at least theoretically possible to
allocate a list or string whose guts exceed 2**32 bytes, and the
PYMALLOC_DEBUG routines would fail then (having only 4 bytes
to record the originally requested size).
Now we use sizeof(size_t) bytes for each of a PYMALLOC_DEBUG
build's extra debugging fields. This won't make any difference
on 32-bit boxes, but will add 16 bytes to each allocation in
a debug build on a 64-bit box.
Fix by renaming the variable.
In a different module, Neal fixed it by renaming _self to self. There's
already a variable named 'self' here, so I used selfptr.
(I'm committing this on a Mac without Tk, but it's a simple search-and-replace.
<crosses fingers>, so I'll watch the buildbots and see what happens.)
