In Python 2.x, exceptions in finally blocks are not normalized. Since with
statements are implemented using finally blocks, ceval.c had to be tweaked to
distinguish between with finally blocks and normal ones.
A test for the finalization of generators containing with statements was also
added.
compiler_add_o, use copysign instead of examining the first and last
bytes of the double. The latter method fails for little-endian
ARM, OABI, where doubles are little-endian but with the words swapped.
-Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -Werror" in both --with-pydebug mode and --without.
There's still a batch of non-prototype warnings in Xlib.h that I don't know how
to fix.
lnotab-based tracing is very complicated and isn't documented very well. There
were at least 3 comment blocks purporting to document co_lnotab, and none did a
very good job. This patch unifies them into Objects/lnotab_notes.txt which
tries to completely capture the current state of affairs.
I also discovered that we've attached 2 layers of patches to the basic tracing
scheme. The first layer avoids jumping to instructions that don't start a line,
to avoid problems in if statements and while loops. The second layer
discovered that jumps backward do need to trace at instructions that don't
start a line, so it added extra lnotab entries for 'while' and 'for' loops, and
added a special case for backward jumps within the same line. I replaced these
patches by just treating forward and backward jumps differently.
POP_JUMP_IF_{TRUE,FALSE} and JUMP_IF_{TRUE,FALSE}_OR_POP. This avoids executing
a POP_TOP on each conditional and sometimes allows the peephole optimizer to
skip a JUMP_ABSOLUTE entirely. It speeds up list comprehensions significantly.
Added checks for integer overflows, contributed by Google. Some are
only available if asserts are left in the code, in cases where they
can't be triggered from Python code.
assert (0, 'message')
An empty tuple does not create a warning. While questionable usage:
assert (), 'message'
should not display a warning. Tested manually.
The warning message could be improved. Feel free to update it.
The mapping between bytecode offsets and source lines (lnotab) did not contain
an entry for the beginning of the loop.
Now it does, and the lnotab can be a bit larger:
in particular, several statements on the same line generate several entries.
However, this does not bother the settrace function, which will trigger only
one 'line' event.
The lnotab seems to be exactly the same as with python2.4.
whole construct away, even when an 'else' clause is present::
while 0:
print("no")
else:
print("yes")
did not generate any code at all.
Now the compiler emits the 'else' block, like it already does for 'if' statements.

Allows dictionaries to be pre-sized (upto 255 elements) saving time lost
to re-sizes with their attendant mallocs and re-insertions.
Has zero effect on small dictionaries (5 elements or fewer), a slight
benefit for dicts upto 22 elements (because they had to resize once
anyway), and more benefit for dicts upto 255 elements (saving multiple
resizes during the build-up and reducing the number of collisions on
the first insertions). Beyond 255 elements, there is no addional benefit.
object's co_consts tuple; add a test to show that the previous behavior (where
these two constants were "collapsed" into one) causes serious malfunctioning.
