were failing due to inappropriate clipping of numbers larger than 2**31
with new-style classes. (typeobject.c) In reviewing the code for classic
classes, there were 2 problems. Any negative value return could be returned.
Always return -1 if there was an error. Also make the checks similar
with the new-style classes. I believe this is correct for 32 and 64 bit
boxes, including Windows64.
Add a test of classic classes too.
I modified this patch some by fixing style, some error checking, and adding
XXX comments. This patch requires review and some changes are to be expected.
I'm checking in now to get the greatest possible review and establish a
baseline for moving forward. I don't want this to hold up release if possible.
protected by "if verbose:", which caused the test to fail on
all non-Windows boxes.
Note that I deliberately didn't convert this to unittest yet,
because I expect it would be even harder to debug this on Tru64
after conversion.
appears to be utterly insane. Plug some theoretical
insecurities in the test script:
- Verify that the SIGALRM handler was actually installed.
- Don't call alarm() before the handler is installed.
- Move everything that can fail inside the try/finally,
so the test cleans up after itself more often.
- Try sending all the expected signals in
force_test_exit(), not just SIGALRM. Since that was
fixed to actually send SIGALRM (instead of invisibly
dying with an AttributeError), we've seen that sending
SIGALRM alone does not stop this from hanging.
- Move the "kill the child" business into the finally
clause, so the child doesn't survive test failure
to send SIGALRM to other tests later (there are also
baffling SIGALRM-related failures in test_socket).
- Cancel the alarm in the finally clause -- if the
test dies early, we again don't want SIGALRM showing
up to confuse a later test.
Alas, this still relies on timing luck wrt the spawned
script that sends the test signals, but it's hard to see
how waiting for seconds can so often be so unlucky.
test_threadedsignals: curiously, this test never fails
on Tru64, but doesn't normally signal SIGALRM. Anyway,
fixed an obvious (but probably inconsequential) logic
error.
However, there was no error checking that PyFloat_FromDouble returned
a valid pointer. I believe this change is correct as it seemed
to follow other code in the area.
Klocwork # 292.
there was no verification that privateobj was a PyString. If it wasn't
a string, this could have allowed a NULL pointer to creep in below and crash.
I wonder if this should be PyString_CheckExact? Must identifiers be strings
or can they be subclasses?
Klocwork #275
This is the first batch of fixes that should be easy to verify based on context.
This fixes problem numbers: 220 (ast), 323-324 (symtable),
321-322 (structseq), 215 (array), 210 (hotshot), 182 (codecs), 209 (etree).
storage before converting the result to C data. See the comment in
the code for details.
Provide a better context for errors when the conversion of a callback
function's result cannot be converted.
The first hunk changes the colon to an ! like other Windows variants.
We need to always wait on the child so the lock gets released and
no other tests fail. This is the try/finally in the second hunk.
at stopping test_signal from hanging forever on the Tru64
buildbot. That could be because there's no such thing as
signal.SIGALARM. Changed to the idiotic (but standard)
signal.SIGALRM instead, and added some more debug output.
64-bit boxes. I have no idea what the ctypes docs mean
by "integers", and blind-guessing here that it intended to
mean the signed C "int" type, in which case perhaps I can
repair this by feeding the thread id argument to type
ctypes.c_long().
Also made the worker thread daemonic, so it doesn't hang
Python shutdown if the test continues to fail.
of quoted test data relied on preserving a single trailing
blank. Changed the string from raw to regular, and forced
in the trailing blank via an explicit \x20 escape.
PyThreadState_SetAsyncExc(): internal correctness changes wrt
refcount safety and deadlock avoidance. Also added a basic test
case (relying on ctypes) and repaired the docs.
directories each time it ran, at least on Windows.
Several changes: explicitly closed all files; wrapped long
lines; stopped suppressing errors when removing a file or
directory fails (removing /shouldn't/ fail!); and changed
what appeared to be incorrect usage of os.removedirs() (that
doesn't remove empty directories at and /under/ the given
path, instead it must be given an empty leaf directory and
then deletes empty directories moving /up/ the path -- could
be that the conceptually simpler shutil.rmtree() was really
actually intended here).
