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 c54d19043a SF bug 115831 and Ping's SF patch 101751, 0.0**-2.0 returns inf rather than
raise ValueError.  Checked in the patch as far as it went, but also changed
all of ints, longs and floats to raise ZeroDivisionError instead when raising
0 to a negative number.  This is what 754-inspired stds require, as the "true
result" is an infinity obtained from finite operands, i.e. it's a singularity.
Also changed float pow to not be so timid about using its square-and-multiply
algorithm.  Note that what math.pow does is unrelated to what builtin pow
does, and will still vary by platform.

Tim Peters 858346e484 Replace SIGFPE paranoia around strtod and atof. I don't believe these

people using --with-fpectl want to pay for checking anyway.

Tim Peters ef14d73b7a Fix for SF bug 110624: float literals behave inconsistently.
I fixed the specific complaint but left the (many) large issues untouched.
See the (very long) bug report discussion for why:
    http://sourceforge.net/bugs/?func=detailbug&group_id=5470&bug_id=110624
Note that while I left the interface to the undocumented public API function
PyFloat_FromString alone, its 2nd argument is useless.  From a comment block
in the code:

RED_FLAG 22-Sep-2000 tim
PyFloat_FromString's pend argument is braindead.  Prior to this RED_FLAG,

1.  If v was a regular string, *pend was set to point to its terminating
    null byte.  That's useless (the caller can find that without any
    help from this function!).

2.  If v was a Unicode string, or an object convertible to a character
    buffer, *pend was set to point into stack trash (the auto temp
    vector holding the character buffer).  That was downright dangerous.

Since we can't change the interface of a public API function, pend is
still supported but now *officially* useless:  if pend is not NULL,
*pend is set to NULL.

Barry Warsaw 67c1a04bbb PyFloat_FromString(): Move s_buffer[] up to the top-level function

Tim Peters 39dce29365 Fix for http://sourceforge.net/bugs/?func=detailbug&bug_id=111866&group_id=5470.
This was a misleading bug -- the true "bug" was that hash(x) gave an error
return when x is an infinity.  Fixed that.  Added new Py_IS_INFINITY macro to
pyport.h.  Rearranged code to reduce growing duplication in hashing of float and
complex numbers, pushing Trent's earlier stab at that to a logical conclusion.
Fixed exceedingly rare bug where hashing of floats could return -1 even if there
wasn't an error (didn't waste time trying to construct a test case, it was simply
obvious from the code that it *could* happen).  Improved complex hash so that
hash(complex(x, y)) doesn't systematically equal hash(complex(y, x)) anymore.

Fred Drake a44d353e2b Trent Mick <trentm@activestate.com>:
The common technique for printing out a pointer has been to cast to a long
and use the "%lx" printf modifier. This is incorrect on Win64 where casting
to a long truncates the pointer. The "%p" formatter should be used instead.

The problem as stated by Tim:
> Unfortunately, the C committee refused to define what %p conversion "looks
> like" -- they explicitly allowed it to be implementation-defined. Older
> versions of Microsoft C even stuck a colon in the middle of the address (in
> the days of segment+offset addressing)!

The result is that the hex value of a pointer will maybe/maybe not have a 0x
prepended to it.


Notes on the patch:

There are two main classes of changes:
- in the various repr() functions that print out pointers
- debugging printf's in the various thread_*.h files (these are why the
patch is large)


Closes SourceForge patch #100505.
2000-06-30 15:01:00 +00:00
Fred Drake 13634cf7a4 This patch addresses two main issues: (1) There exist some non-fatal
errors in some of the hash algorithms. For exmaple, in float_hash and
complex_hash a certain part of the value is not included in the hash
calculation. See Tim's, Guido's, and my discussion of this on
python-dev in May under the title "fix float_hash and complex_hash for
64-bit *nix"

(2) The hash algorithms that use pointers (e.g. func_hash, code_hash)
are universally not correct on Win64 (they assume that sizeof(long) ==
sizeof(void*))

As well, this patch significantly cleans up the hash code. It adds the
two function _Py_HashDouble and _PyHash_VoidPtr that the various
hashing routine are changed to use.

These help maintain the hash function invariant: (a==b) =>
(hash(a)==hash(b))) I have added Lib/test/test_hash.py and
Lib/test/output/test_hash to test this for some cases.

Guido van Rossum b18618dab7 Vladimir Marangozov's long-awaited malloc restructuring.
For more comments, read the patches@python.org archives.
For documentation read the comments in mymalloc.h and objimpl.h.

(This is not exactly what Vladimir posted to the patches list; I've
made a few changes, and Vladimir sent me a fix in private email for a
problem that only occurs in debug mode.  I'm also holding back on his
change to main.c, which seems unnecessary to me.)

Guido van Rossum 9e896b37c7 Marc-Andre's third try at this bulk patch seems to work (except that
his copy of test_contains.py seems to be broken -- the lines he
deleted were already absent).  Checkin messages:


New Unicode support for int(), float(), complex() and long().

- new APIs PyInt_FromUnicode() and PyLong_FromUnicode()
- added support for Unicode to PyFloat_FromString()
- new encoding API PyUnicode_EncodeDecimal() which converts
  Unicode to a decimal char* string (used in the above new
  APIs)
- shortcuts for calls like int(<int object>) and float(<float obj>)
- tests for all of the above

Unicode compares and contains checks:
- comparing Unicode and non-string types now works; TypeErrors
  are masked, all other errors such as ValueError during
  Unicode coercion are passed through (note that PyUnicode_Compare
  does not implement the masking -- PyObject_Compare does this)
- contains now works for non-string types too; TypeErrors are
  masked and 0 returned; all other errors are passed through

Better testing support for the standard codecs.

Misc minor enhancements, such as an alias dbcs for the mbcs codec.

Changes:
- PyLong_FromString() now applies the same error checks as
  does PyInt_FromString(): trailing garbage is reported
  as error and not longer silently ignored. The only characters
  which may be trailing the digits are 'L' and 'l' -- these
  are still silently ignored.
- string.ato?() now directly interface to int(), long() and
  float(). The error strings are now a little different, but
  the type still remains the same. These functions are now
  ready to get declared obsolete ;-)
- PyNumber_Int() now also does a check for embedded NULL chars
  in the input string; PyNumber_Long() already did this (and
  still does)

Followed by:

Looks like I've gone a step too far there... (and test_contains.py
seem to have a bug too).

I've changed back to reporting all errors in PyUnicode_Contains()
and added a few more test cases to test_contains.py (plus corrected
the join() NameError).

1. Fixes float divmod so that the quotient it returns is always an integral
value.

2. Fixes float % and float divmod so that the remainder always gets the
right sign (the current code uses a "are the signs different?" test that
doesn't work half the time <wink> when the product of the divisor and the
remainder underflows to 0).

Guido van Rossum d7b5fb858c Fix a problem with Vladimir's PyFloat_Fini code: clear the free list; if

Guido van Rossum 3fce883922 Vladimir has restructured his code somewhat so that the blocks are now
