Issue #1580: New free format floating point representation based on "Floating-Point Printer Sample Code", by Robert G. Burger. For example repr(11./5) now returns '2.2' instead of '2.2000000000000002'.
Thanks to noam for the patch! I had to modify doubledigits.c slightly to support X64 and IA64 machines on Windows. I also added the new file to the three project files.
Added PyFloat_GetMax(), PyFloat_GetMin() and PyFloat_GetInfo() to the float API.
Added a dictionary sys.float_info with information about the internal floating point type to the sys module.
I've finished the last task for the PCbuild9 directory today. I don't think there is much left to do. Now you can all play around with the shiny new VS 2008 and try the PGO builds. I was able to get a speed improvement of about 10% on py3k.
Have fun! :)
ever going back out to Python code in PyObject_Call(). Required introducing a
static RuntimeError instance so that normalizing an exception there is no
reliance on a recursive call that would put the exception system over the
recursion check itself.
Py_ssize_t members.
Simplify the implementation of UnicodeError objects:
start and end attributes are now stored directly as
Py_ssize_t members, which simplifies various get and
set functions.
exception if the -i command line option or PYTHONINSPECT environment
variable is given, but break into the interactive interpreter just like
on other exceptions or normal program exit.

of some of the common builtin types.
Use a bit in tp_flags for each common builtin type. Check the bit
to determine if any instance is a subclass of these common types.
The check avoids a function call and O(n) search of the base classes.
The check is done in the various Py*_Check macros rather than calling
PyType_IsSubtype().
All the bits are set in tp_flags when the type is declared
in the Objects/*object.c files because PyType_Ready() is not called
for all the types. Should PyType_Ready() be called for all types?
If so and the change is made, the changes to the Objects/*object.c files
can be reverted (remove setting the tp_flags). Objects/typeobject.c
would also have to be modified to add conditions
for Py*_CheckExact() in addition to each the PyType_IsSubtype check.
is specified at the top of the file. Also add a note that Python/Python-ast.c
needs to be committed separately after a change to the AST grammar to capture
the revision number of the change (which is what __version__ is set to).
In addition to testing positive numbers, verify negative numbers work in configure.
In order to avoid compiler warnings on OS X 10.4, also change the order of the check
for the format character to use (PY_FORMAT_SIZE_T) in the sprintf format
for Py_ssize_t. This patch changes PY_FORMAT_SIZE_T from "" to "l" if it wasn't
defined at configure time. Need to verify the buildbot results.
Backport candidate (if everyone thinks this patch can't be improved).
Replace UnicodeDecodeErrors raised during == and !=
compares of Unicode and other objects with a new
UnicodeWarning.
All other comparisons continue to raise exceptions.
Exceptions other than UnicodeDecodeErrors are also left
untouched.
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.
This provides the proper warning for struct.pack().
PyErr_Warn() is now deprecated in favor of PyErr_WarnEx().
As mentioned by Tim Peters on python-dev.
Heavily revised, comprising revisions:
46640 - original trunk revision (backed out in r46655)
46647 - markup fix (backed out in r46655)
46692:46918 merged from branch aimacintyre-sf1454481
branch tested on buildbots (Windows buildbots had problems
not related to these changes).
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.
set_exc_info(), reset_exc_info(): By exploiting the
likely (who knows?) invariant that when an exception's
`type` is NULL, its `value` and `traceback` are also NULL,
save some cycles in heavily-executed code.
This is a "a kronar saved is a kronar earned" patch: the
speedup isn't reliably measurable, but it obviously does
reduce the operation count in the normal (no exception
raised) path through PyEval_EvalFrameEx().
The tim-exc_sanity branch tries to push this harder, but
is still blowing up (at least in part due to pre-existing
subtle bugs that appear to have no other visible
consequences!).
Not a bugfix candidate.
both mystrtoul.c and longobject.c. Share the table instead. Also
cut its size by 64 entries (they had been used for an inscrutable
trick originally, but the code no longer tries to use that trick).
Applied patch zombie-frames-2.diff from sf patch 876206 with updates for
Python 2.5 and also modified to retain the free_list to avoid the 67%
slow-down in pybench recursion test. 5% speed up in function call pybench.
- Warn-raise ImportWarning when importing would have picked up a directory
as package, if only it'd had an __init__.py. This swaps two tests (for
case-ness and __init__-ness), but case-test is not really more expensive,
and it's not in a speed-critical section.
- Test for the new warning by importing a common non-package directory on
sys.path: site-packages
- In regrtest.py, silence warnings generated by the build-environment
because Modules/ (which is added to sys.path for Setup-created modules)
has 'zlib' and '_ctypes' directories without __init__.py's.
MAXPATHLEN-sized buffers for various output-buffers (like to realpath()),
and that's correct on BSD platforms, but not Linux (which uses PATH_MAX, and
does not define MAXPATHLEN.) Cursory googling suggests Linux is following a
newer standard than BSD, but in cases like this, who knows. Using the
greater of PATH_MAX and 1024 as a fallback for MAXPATHLEN seems to be the
most portable solution.
Py_VISIT: cast the `op` argument to PyObject* when calling
`visit()`. Else the caller has to pay too much attention to
this silly detail (e.g., frame_traverse needs to traverse
`struct _frame *` and `PyCodeObject *` pointers too).
that are suspended outside of any try/except/finally blocks to be
garbage collected even if they are part of a cycle. Generators that
suspend inside of an active try/except or try/finally block (including
those created by a ``with`` statement) are still not GC-able if they
are part of a cycle, however.
tracing/line number table in except blocks.
Reflow long lines introduced by col_offset changes. Update test_ast
to handle new fields in excepthandler.
As note in Python.asdl says, we might want to rethink how attributes
are handled. Perhaps they should be the same as other fields, with
the primary difference being how they are defined for all types within
a sum.
Also fix asdl_c so that constructors with int fields don't fail when
passed a zero value.
