Jeremy Hylton af68c874a6 Add const to several API functions that take char *.
In C++, it's an error to pass a string literal to a char* function
without a const_cast().  Rather than require every C++ extension
module to put a cast around string literals, fix the API to state the
const-ness.

I focused on parts of the API where people usually pass literals:
PyArg_ParseTuple() and friends, Py_BuildValue(), PyMethodDef, the type
slots, etc.  Predictably, there were a large set of functions that
needed to be fixed as a result of these changes.  The most pervasive
change was to make the keyword args list passed to
PyArg_ParseTupleAndKewords() to be a const char *kwlist[].

One cast was required as a result of the changes:  A type object
mallocs the memory for its tp_doc slot and later frees it.
PyTypeObject says that tp_doc is const char *; but if the type was
created by type_new(), we know it is safe to cast to char *.

Tim Peters de7990b8af SF bug #1238681: freed pointer is used in longobject.c:long_pow().
In addition, long_pow() skipped a necessary (albeit extremely unlikely
to trigger) error check when converting an int modulus to long.

Alas, I was unable to write a test case that crashed due to either
cause.

Bugfix candidate.

Brett Cannon c3647ac93e Make subclasses of int, long, complex, float, and unicode perform type
conversion using the proper magic slot (e.g., __int__()).  Also move conversion
code out of PyNumber_*() functions in the C API into the nb_* function.

Applied patch #1109424.  Thanks Walter Doewald.

Tim Peters cd97da3b1d long_pow(): Fix more instances of leaks in error cases.
Bugfix candidate -- although long_pow() is so different now I doubt a
patch would apply to 2.3.

Tim Peters 47e52ee0c5 SF patch 936813: fast modular exponentiation
This checkin is adapted from part 2 (of 3) of Trevor Perrin's patch set.

BACKWARD INCOMPATIBILITY:  SHIFT must now be divisible by 5.  AFAIK,
nobody will care.  long_pow() could be complicated to worm around that,
if necessary.

long_pow():
  - BUGFIX:  This leaked the base and power when the power was negative
    (and so the computation delegated to float pow).
  - Instead of doing right-to-left exponentiation, do left-to-right.  This
    is more efficient for small bases, which is the common case.
  - In addition, if the exponent is large (more than FIVEARY_CUTOFF
    digits), precompute [a**i % c for i in range(32)], and go left to
    right 5 bits at a time.
l_divmod():
  - The signature changed so that callers who don't want the quotient,
    or don't want the remainder, can pass NULL in the slot they don't
    want.  This saves them from having to declare a vrbl for unwanted
    stuff, and remembering to decref it.
long_mod(), long_div(), long_classic_div():
  - Adjust to new l_divmod() signature, and simplified as a result.

Tim Peters 0973b99e1c SF patch 936813: fast modular exponentiation
This checkin is adapted from part 1 (of 3) of Trevor Perrin's patch set.

x_mul()
  - sped a little by optimizing the C
  - sped a lot (~2X) if it's doing a square; note that long_pow() squares
    often
k_mul()
  - more cache-friendly now if it's doing a square
KARATSUBA_CUTOFF
  - boosted; gradeschool mult is quicker now, and it may have been too low
    for many platforms anyway
KARATSUBA_SQUARE_CUTOFF
  - new
  - since x_mul is a lot faster at squaring now, the point at which
    Karatsuba pays for squaring is much higher than for general mult

Tim Peters c7bc0b98e7 SF patch 730594: assert from longobject.c, line 1215.
Some version of gcc in the "RTEMS port running on the Coldfire (m5200)
processor" generates bad code for a loop in long_from_binary_base(),
comparing the wrong half of an int to a short.  The patch changes the
decl of the short temp to be an int temp instead.  This "simplifies"
the code enough that gcc no longer blows it.

Thomas Heller a4ea603b05 SF # 595026: support for masks in getargs.c.
New functions:
  unsigned long PyInt_AsUnsignedLongMask(PyObject *);
  unsigned PY_LONG_LONG) PyInt_AsUnsignedLongLongMask(PyObject *);
  unsigned long PyLong_AsUnsignedLongMask(PyObject *);
  unsigned PY_LONG_LONG) PyLong_AsUnsignedLongLongMask(PyObject *);

New and changed format codes:

b unsigned char 0..UCHAR_MAX
B unsigned char none **
h unsigned short 0..USHRT_MAX
H unsigned short none **
i int INT_MIN..INT_MAX
I * unsigned int 0..UINT_MAX
l long LONG_MIN..LONG_MAX
k * unsigned long none
L long long LLONG_MIN..LLONG_MAX
K * unsigned long long none

Notes:

* New format codes.

** Changed from previous "range-and-a-half" to "none"; the
range-and-a-half checking wasn't particularly useful.

New test test_getargs2.py, to verify all this.

Guido van Rossum 004a65c9b1 _PyLong_Sign(): remove an assert that needed a variable ndigits that
wasn't used outside the assert (and hence caused a compiler warning
about an unused variable in NDEBUG mode).  The assert wasn't very
useful any more.

_PyLong_NumBits(): moved the calculation of ndigits after asserting
that v != NULL.

Tim Peters bf2674be0e long(string, base) now takes time linear in len(string) when base is a
power of 2.  Enabled the tail end of test_long() in pickletester.py
because it no longer takes forever when run from test_pickle.py.
2003-02-02 07:51:32 +00:00
Tim Peters ee1a53cbb1 cPickle.c: Full support for the new LONG1 and LONG4. Added comments.
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).

Tim Peters 08a1d9cafc Squash compiler wng about signed/unsigned comparison mismatch. 2003-01-31 21:45:13 +00:00
Tim Peters 5b8132ffa3 _PyLong_NumBits(): The definition of this was too specific to the quirky
needs of pickling longs.  Backed off to a definition that's much easier
to understand.  The pickler will have to work a little harder, but other
uses are more likely to be correct <0.5 wink>.

_PyLong_Sign():  New teensy function to characterize a long, as to <0, ==0,
or >0.
2003-01-31 15:52:05 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 5d9113d8be Implement appropriate __getnewargs__ for all immutable subclassable builtin
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.
2003-01-29 17:58:45 +00:00
Tim Peters baefd9e552 Added new private API function _PyLong_NumBits. This will be used at the
start for the C implemention of new pickle LONG1 and LONG4 opcodes (the
linear-time way to pickle a long is to call _PyLong_AsByteArray, but
the caller has no idea how big an array to allocate, and correct
calculation is a bit subtle).

2002-11-19 20:49:15 +00:00
Walter Dörwald 07e147667c Make int("...") return a long if an int would overflow.

Skip Montanaro d581d7792b replace thread state objects' ticker and checkinterval fields with two
globals, _Py_Ticker and _Py_CheckInterval.  This also implements Jeremy's
shortcut in Py_AddPendingCall that zeroes out _Py_Ticker.  This allows the
test in the main loop to only test a single value.

Tim Peters 0d2d87d202 long_format(), long_lshift(): Someone on c.l.py is trying to boost
SHIFT and MASK, and widen digit.  One problem is that code of the form

    digit << small_integer

implicitly assumes that the result fits in an int or unsigned int
(platform-dependent, but "int sized" in any case), since digit is
promoted "just" to int or unsigned via the usual integer promotions.
But if digit is typedef'ed as unsigned int, this loses information.
The cure for this is just to cast digit to twodigits first.

Tim Peters e417de0e56 Illustrating by example one good reason not to trust a proof <wink>. 2002-08-15 20:10:45 +00:00
Tim Peters ab86c2be24 k_mul() comments: In honor of Dijkstra, made the proof that "t3 fits"
rigorous instead of hoping for testing not to turn up counterexamples.
Call me heretical, but despite that I'm wholly confident in the proof,
and have done it two different ways now, I still put more faith in
testing ...
2002-08-15 20:06:00 +00:00
Tim Peters 9973d74b2d long_mul(): Simplified exit code. In particular, k_mul() returns a
normalized result, so no point to normalizing it again.  The number
of test+branches was also excessive.
2002-08-15 19:41:06 +00:00
Tim Peters 48d52c0fcc k_mul() comments: Simplified the simplified explanation of why ah*bh and
al*bl "always fit":  it's actually trivial given what came before.
2002-08-14 17:07:32 +00:00
Tim Peters 8e966ee49a k_mul() comments: Explained why there's always enough room to subtract
ah*bh and al*bl.  This is much easier than explaining why that's true
for (ah+al)*(bh+bl), and follows directly from the simple part of the
(ah+al)*(bh+bl) explanation.
2002-08-14 16:36:23 +00:00
Tim Peters cba6e96929 Fixed error in new comment. 2002-08-13 20:42:00 +00:00
Tim Peters d6974a54ab k_mul(): The fix for (ah+al)*(bh+bl) spilling 1 bit beyond the allocated
space is no longer needed, so removed the code.  It was only possible when
a degenerate (ah->ob_size == 0) split happened, but after that fix went
in I added k_lopsided_mul(), which saves the body of k_mul() from seeing
a degenerate split.  So this removes code, and adds a honking long comment
block explaining why spilling out of bounds isn't possible anymore.  Note:
ff we end up spilling out of bounds anyway <wink>, an assert in v_iadd()
is certain to trigger.
2002-08-13 20:37:51 +00:00
Guido van Rossum d8c8048f5e Fix comment for PyLong_AsUnsignedLong() to say that the return value
is an *unsigned* long.
2002-08-13 00:24:58 +00:00
Tim Peters 1203403743 k_lopsided_mul(): This allocated more space for bslice than necessary. 2002-08-12 22:10:00 +00:00
Tim Peters 6000464d08 Added new function k_lopsided_mul(), which is much more efficient than
k_mul() when inputs have vastly different sizes, and a little more
efficient when they're close to a factor of 2 out of whack.

I consider this done now, although I'll set up some more correctness
tests to run overnight.
2002-08-12 22:01:34 +00:00
Tim Peters 547607c4bf k_mul(): Moved an assert down. In a debug build, interrupting a
multiply via Ctrl+C could cause a NULL-pointer dereference due to
the assert.
2002-08-12 19:43:49 +00:00
Tim Peters 70b041bbe7 k_mul(): Heh -- I checked in two fixes for the last problem. Only keep
the good one <wink>.  Also checked in a test-aid by mistake.
2002-08-12 19:38:01 +00:00
Tim Peters d8b2173ef9 k_mul(): White-box testing turned up that (ah+al)*(bh+bl) can, in rare
cases, overflow the allocated result object by 1 bit.  In such cases,
it would have been brought back into range if we subtracted al*bl and
ah*bh from it first, but I don't want to do that because it hurts cache
behavior.  Instead we just ignore the excess bit when it appears -- in
effect, this is forcing unsigned mod BASE**(asize + bsize) arithmetic
in a case where that doesn't happen all by itself.
2002-08-12 19:30:26 +00:00
Tim Peters 115c888b97 x_mul(): Made life easier for C optimizers in the "grade school"
algorithm.  MSVC 6 wasn't impressed <wink>.

Something odd:  the x_mul algorithm appears to get substantially worse
than quadratic time as the inputs grow larger:

bits in each input   x_mul time   k_mul time
------------------   ----------   ----------
             15360         0.01         0.00
             30720         0.04         0.01
             61440         0.16         0.04
            122880         0.64         0.14
            245760         2.56         0.40
            491520        10.76         1.23
            983040        71.28         3.69
           1966080       459.31        11.07

That is, x_mul is perfectly quadratic-time until a little burp at
2.56->10.76, and after that goes to hell in a hurry.  Under Karatsuba,
doubling the input size "should take" 3 times longer instead of 4, and
that remains the case throughout this range.  I conclude that my "be nice
to the cache" reworkings of k_mul() are paying.
2002-08-12 18:25:43 +00:00
Tim Peters d64c1def7c k_mul() and long_mul(): I'm confident that the Karatsuba algorithm is
correct now, so added some final comments, did some cleanup, and enabled
it for all long-int multiplies.  The KARAT envar no longer matters,
although I left some #if 0'ed code in there for my own use (temporary).
k_mul() is still much slower than x_mul() if the inputs have very
differenent sizes, and that still needs to be addressed.
2002-08-12 17:36:03 +00:00
Tim Peters 738eda742c k_mul: Rearranged computation for better cache use. Ignored overflow
(it's possible, but should be harmless -- this requires more thought,
and allocating enough space in advance to prevent it requires exactly
as much thought, to know exactly how much that is -- the end result
certainly fits in the allocated space -- hmm, but that's really all
the thought it needs!  borrows/carries out of the high digits really
are harmless).
2002-08-12 15:08:20 +00:00
Tim Peters 44121a6bc9 x_mul(): This failed to normalize its result.
k_mul():  This didn't allocate enough result space when one input had
more than twice as many bits as the other.  This was partly hidden by
that x_mul() didn't normalize its result.

The Karatsuba recurrence is pretty much hosed if the inputs aren't
roughly the same size.  If one has at least twice as many bits as the
other, we get a degenerate case where the "high half" of the smaller
input is 0.  Added a special case for that, for speed, but despite that
it helped, this can still be much slower than the "grade school" method.
It seems to take a really wild imbalance to trigger that; e.g., a
2**22-bit input times a 1000-bit input on my box runs about twice as slow
under k_mul than under x_mul.  This still needs to be addressed.

I'm also not sure that allocating a->ob_size + b->ob_size digits is
enough, given that this is computing k = (ah+al)*(bh+bl) instead of
k = (ah-al)*(bl-bh); i.e., it's certainly enough for the final result,
but it's vaguely possible that adding in the "artificially" large k may
overflow that temporarily.  If so, an assert will trigger in the debug
build, but we'll probably compute the right result anyway(!).
2002-08-12 06:17:58 +00:00
Tim Peters 877a212678 Introduced helper functions v_iadd and v_isub, for in-place digit-vector
addition and subtraction.  Reworked the tail end of k_mul() to use them.
This saves oodles of one-shot longobject allocations (this is a triply-
recursive routine, so saving one allocation in the body saves 3**n
allocations at depth n; we actually save 2 allocations in the body).

Tim Peters 18c15b9bbd k_mul(): Repaired typo in comment. 2002-08-12 02:43:58 +00:00
Tim Peters 5af4e6c739 Cautious introduction of a patch that started from
SF 560379:  Karatsuba multiplication.
Lots of things were changed from that.  This needs a lot more testing,
for correctness and speed, the latter especially when bit lengths are
unbalanced.  For now, the Karatsuba code gets invoked if and only if
envar KARAT exists.

Jeremy Hylton 938ace69a0 staticforward bites the dust.
The staticforward define was needed to support certain broken C
compilers (notably SCO ODT 3.0, perhaps early AIX as well) botched the
static keyword when it was used with a forward declaration of a static
initialized structure.  Standard C allows the forward declaration with
static, and we've decided to stop catering to broken C compilers.  (In
fact, we expect that the compilers are all fixed eight years later.)

I'm leaving staticforward and statichere defined in object.h as
static.  This is only for backwards compatibility with C extensions
that might still use it.

XXX I haven't updated the documentation.

Guido van Rossum 9475a2310d Enable GC for new-style instances. This touches lots of files, since
many types were subclassable but had a xxx_dealloc function that
called PyObject_DEL(self) directly instead of deferring to
self->ob_type->tp_free(self).  It is permissible to set tp_free in the
type object directly to _PyObject_Del, for non-GC types, or to
_PyObject_GC_Del, for GC types.  Still, PyObject_DEL was a tad faster,
so I'm fearing that our pystone rating is going down again.  I'm not
sure if doing something like

void xxx_dealloc(PyObject *self)
{
	if (PyXxxCheckExact(self))
		PyObject_DEL(self);
	else
		self->ob_type->tp_free(self);
}

is any faster than always calling the else branch, so I haven't
attempted that -- however those types whose own dealloc is fancier
(int, float, unicode) do use this pattern.

Tim Peters d38b1c74f3 SF [#466125] PyLong_AsLongLong works for any integer.
Generalize PyLong_AsLongLong to accept int arguments too.  The real point
is so that PyArg_ParseTuple's 'L' code does too.  That code was
undocumented (AFAICT), so documented it.

Guido van Rossum 1952e388ca Add additional coercion support for "self subtypes" to int, long,
float (compare the recent checkin to complex).  Added tests for these.
2001-09-19 01:25:16 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 7e35d57c0c A fix for SF bug #461546 (bug in long_mul).
Both int and long multiplication are changed to be more careful in
their assumptions about when one of the arguments is a sequence: the
assumption that at least one of the arguments must be an int (or long,
respectively) is still held, but the assumption that these don't smell
like sequences is no longer true: a subtype of int or long may well
have a sequence-repeat thingie!

Skip Montanaro bafedecc06 based upon a suggestion in c.l.py, this slight expansion of the

Tim Peters 69c2de3ad6 More bug 460020. Disable a number of long optimizations for long subclasses. 2001-09-11 22:31:33 +00:00
Tim Peters 64b5ce3a69 SF bug #460020: bug or feature: unicode() and subclasses.
Given an immutable type M, and an instance I of a subclass of M, the
constructor call M(I) was just returning I as-is; but it should return a
new instance of M.  This fixes it for M in {int, long}.  Strings, floats
and tuples remain to be done.
Added new macros PyInt_CheckExact and PyLong_CheckExact, to more easily
distinguish between "is" and "is a" (i.e., only an int passes
PyInt_CheckExact, while any sublass of int passes PyInt_Check).
Added private API function _PyLong_Copy.

Tim Peters e56ed9ba15 long_true_divide: reliably force underflow to 0 when the denominator
has more bits than the numerator than can be counted in a C int (yes,
that's unlikely, and no, I'm not adding a test case with a 2 gigabit
long).

Tim Peters 57f282a2a0 Try to recover from that glibc's ldexp apparently doesn't set errno on
overflow.  Needs testing on Linux (test_long.py and test_long_future.py
especially).
2001-09-05 05:38:10 +00:00
Tim Peters e2a600099d Change long/long true division to return as many good bits as it can;
e.g., (1L << 40000)/(1L << 40001) returns 0.5, not Inf or NaN or whatever.
2001-09-04 06:17:36 +00:00
Tim Peters 20dab9f168 Move long_true_divide next to the other division routines (for clarity!). 2001-09-04 05:31:47 +00:00
Tim Peters 9fffa3eea3 Raise OverflowError when appropriate on long->float conversion. Most of
the fiddling is simply due to that no caller of PyLong_AsDouble ever
checked for failure (so that's fixing old bugs).  PyLong_AsDouble is much
faster for big inputs now too, but that's more of a happy consequence
than a design goal.
2001-09-04 05:14:19 +00:00
Tim Peters a1c1b0f468 Introduce new private API function _PyLong_AsScaledDouble. Not used yet,
but will be the foundation for Good Things:
+ Speed PyLong_AsDouble.
+ Give PyLong_AsDouble the ability to detect overflow.
+ Make true division of long/long nearly as accurate as possible (no
  spurious infinities or NaNs).
+ Return non-insane results from math.log and math.log10 when passing a
  long that can't be approximated by a double better than HUGE_VAL.

Tim Peters 32f453eaa4 New restriction on pow(x, y, z): If z is not None, x and y must be of

2001-09-03 08:35:41 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 393661d15f Add warning mode for classic division, almost exactly as specified in
PEP 238.  Changes:

- add a new flag variable Py_DivisionWarningFlag, declared in
  pydebug.h, defined in object.c, set in main.c, and used in
  {int,long,float,complex}object.c.  When this flag is set, the
  classic division operator issues a DeprecationWarning message.

- add a new API PyRun_SimpleStringFlags() to match
  PyRun_SimpleString().  The main() function calls this so that
  commands run with -c can also benefit from -Dnew.

- While I was at it, I changed the usage message in main() somewhat:
  alphabetized the options, split it in *four* parts to fit in under
  512 bytes (not that I still believe this is necessary -- doc strings
  elsewhere are much longer), and perhaps most visibly, don't display
  the full list of options on each command line error.  Instead, the
  full list is only displayed when -h is used, and otherwise a brief
  reminder of -h is displayed.  When -h is used, write to stdout so
  that you can do `python -h | more'.

Notes:

- I don't want to use the -W option to control whether the classic
  division warning is issued or not, because the machinery to decide
  whether to display the warning or not is very expensive (it involves
  calling into the warnings.py module).  You can use -Werror to turn
  the warnings into exceptions though.

- The -Dnew option doesn't select future division for all of the
  program -- only for the __main__ module.  I don't know if I'll ever
  change this -- it would require changes to the .pyc file magic
  number to do it right, and a more global notion of compiler flags.

- You can usefully combine -Dwarn and -Dnew: this gives the __main__
  module new division, and warns about classic division everywhere
  else.

Guido van Rossum 13228a6f09 Ah, the joy of writing test cases...
long_subtype_new(): fix a typo (type->ob_size instead of
tmp->ob_size).
2001-08-30 15:54:44 +00:00
Guido van Rossum bef1417f9f Make int, long and float subclassable.
This uses a slightly wimpy and wasteful approach, but it works. :-)

Martin v. Löwis 339d0f720e Patch #445762: Support --disable-unicode
- 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.
2001-08-17 18:39:25 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 4668b000a1 Implement PEP 238 in its (almost) full glory.
This introduces:

- A new operator // that means floor division (the kind of division
  where 1/2 is 0).

- The "future division" statement ("from __future__ import division)
  which changes the meaning of the / operator to implement "true
  division" (where 1/2 is 0.5).

- New overloadable operators __truediv__ and __floordiv__.

- New slots in the PyNumberMethods struct for true and floor division,
  new abstract APIs for them, new opcodes, and so on.

I emphasize that without the future division statement, the semantics
of / will remain unchanged until Python 3.0.

Not yet implemented are warnings (default off) when / is used with int
or long arguments.

This has been on display since 7/31 as SF patch #443474.

Flames to /dev/null.

Tim Peters 586b2e3f3d long_format: Simplify the overly elaborate base-is-a-power-of-2 code. 2001-07-15 09:11:14 +00:00
Tim Peters 212e614f60 divrem1 & long_format: found a clean way to factor divrem1 so that
long_format can reuse a scratch area for its repeated divisions (instead
of malloc/free for every digit produced); speeds str(long)/repr(long).
2001-07-14 12:23:19 +00:00
Tim Peters c8a6b9b6d6 long_format(): Simplify new code a bit. 2001-07-14 11:01:28 +00:00
Tim Peters fad225f1ba long_format(): Easy speedup for output bases that aren't a power of 2 (in
particular, str(long) and repr(long) use base 10, and that gets a factor
of 4 speedup).  Another factor of 2 can be gotten by refactoring divrem1 to
support in-place division, but that started getting messy so I'm leaving
that out.
2001-07-13 02:59:26 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 0ec9abaa2b On long to the negative long power, let float handle it instead of
raising an error.  This was one of the two issues that the VPython
folks were particularly problematic for their students.  (The other
one was integer division...)  This implements (my) SF patch #440487.
2001-07-12 11:21:17 +00:00
Tim Peters 70128a1ba6 PyLong_{As, From}VoidPtr: cleanup, replacing assumptions in comments with

Tim Peters ede0509111 _PyLong_AsByteArray: simplify the logic for dealing with the most-
significant digits sign bits.  Again no change in semantics.
2001-06-14 08:53:38 +00:00
Tim Peters ce9de2f79a PyLong_From{Unsigned,}Long: count the # of digits first, so no more space
is allocated than needed (used to allocate 80 bytes of digit space no
matter how small the long input).  This also runs faster, at least on 32-
bit boxes.
2001-06-14 04:56:19 +00:00
Tim Peters f251d06a66 _PyLong_FromByteArray: changed decl of "carry" to match "thisbyte". No
semantic change, but a bit clearer and may help a really stupid compiler
avoid pointless runtime length conversions.
2001-06-13 21:09:15 +00:00
Tim Peters 05607ad4fd _PyLong_AsByteArray: Don't do the "delicate overflow" check unless it's
truly needed; usually saves a little time, but no change in semantics.
2001-06-13 21:01:27 +00:00
Tim Peters 898cf85c25 _PyLong_AsByteArray: added assert that the input is normalized. This is
outside the function's control, but is crucial to correct operation.

Tim Peters 9cb0c38fff PyLong_As{Unsigned,}LongLong: fiddled final result casting. 2001-06-13 20:45:17 +00:00
Tim Peters d1a7da6c0d longobject.c:
Replaced PyLong_{As,From}{Unsigned,}LongLong guts with calls
    to _PyLong_{As,From}ByteArray.
_testcapimodule.c:
    Added strong tests of PyLong_{As,From}{Unsigned,}LongLong.

Fixes SF bug #432552 PyLong_AsLongLong() problems.
Possible bugfix candidate, but the fix relies on code added to longobject
to support the new q/Q structmodule format codes.
2001-06-13 00:35:57 +00:00
Tim Peters 8bc84b4391 _PyLong_{As,From}ByteArray: Minor code rearrangement aimed at improving
