Assorted code cleanups; e.g., sizeof(char) is 1 by definition, so there's
no need to do things like multiply by sizeof(char) in hairy malloc
arguments. Fixed an undetected-overflow bug in readline_file().
longobject.c: Fixed a really stupid bug in the new _PyLong_NumBits.
pickle.py: Fixed stupid bug in save_long(): When proto is 2, it
wrote LONG1 or LONG4, but forgot to return then -- it went on to
append the proto 1 LONG opcode too.
Fixed equally stupid cancelling bugs in load_long1() and
load_long4(): they *returned* the unpickled long instead of pushing
it on the stack. The return values were ignored. Tests passed
before only because save_long() pickled the long twice.
Fixed bugs in encode_long().
Noted that decode_long() is quadratic-time despite our hopes,
because long(string, 16) is still quadratic-time in len(string).
It's hex() that's linear-time. I don't know a way to make decode_long()
linear-time in Python, short of maybe transforming the 256's-complement
bytes into marshal's funky internal format, and letting marshal decode
that. It would be more valuable to make long(string, 16) linear time.
pickletester.py: Added a global "protocols" vector so tests can try
all the protocols in a sane way. Changed test_ints() and test_unicode()
to do so. Added a new test_long(), but the tail end of it is disabled
because it "takes forever" under pickle.py (but runs very quickly under
cPickle: cPickle proto 2 for longs is linear-time).
types. The special handling for these can now be removed from save_newobj().
Add some testing for this.
Also add support for setting the 'fast' flag on the Python Pickler class,
which suppresses use of the memo.
only get run by test_pickle.py now (& not by test_cpickle.py). This
should be undone when protocol 2 is implemented in cPickle too.
test_cpickle should pass again.
imports of test modules now import from the test package. Other
related oddities are also fixed (like DeprecationWarning filters that
weren't specifying the full import part, etc.). Also did a general
code cleanup to remove all "from test.test_support import *"'s. Other
from...import *'s weren't changed.
64-bit INTs on 32-bit boxes (where they become longs). Also exploit that
int(str) and long(str) will ignore a trailing newline (saves creating a
new string at the Python level).
pickletester.py: Simulate reading a pickle produced by a 64-bit box.
- Do not compile unicodeobject, unicodectype, and unicodedata if Unicode is disabled
- check for Py_USING_UNICODE in all places that use Unicode functions
- disables unicode literals, and the builtin functions
- add the types.StringTypes list
- remove Unicode literals from most tests.
than from module pickletester. Using the latter turned out to cause
the test to break when invoked as "import test.test_pickle" or "import
test.autotest".
bugs on sizeof(long)==8 machines. pickle.py has no idea what it's
doing with very large ints, and variously gets things right by accident,
computes nonsense, or generates corrupt pickles. cPickle fails on
cases 2**31 <= i < 2**32: since it *thinks* those are 4-byte ints
(the "high 4 bytes" are all zeroes), it stores them in the (signed!) BININT
format, so they get unpickled as negative values.
integers, but the std tests don't exercise most of them. Repair that.
CAUTION: I expect this to fail on boxes with sizeof(long)==8, in the
part of test_cpickle (but not test_pickle) trying to do a binary mode
(not text mode) load of the embedded BINDATA pickle string. Once that
hypothesized failure is confirmed, I'll fix cPickle.c.
