Guido van Rossum bb77e6801e Change string comparison so that it applies even when one (or both)
arguments are subclasses of str, as long as they don't override rich
comparison.
2001-09-24 16:51:54 +00:00
Tim Peters 111f60964e If interning an instance of a string subclass, intern a real string object
with the same value instead.  This ensures that a string (or string
subclass) object's ob_sinterned pointer is always a str (or NULL), and
that the dict of interned strings only has strs as keys.

Tim Peters af90b3e610 str_subtype_new, unicode_subtype_new:
+ These were leaving the hash fields at 0, which all string and unicode
  routines believe is a legitimate hash code.  As a result, hash() applied
  to str and unicode subclass instances always returned 0, which in turn
  confused dict operations, etc.
+ Changed local names "new"; no point to antagonizing C++ compilers.

Tim Peters 8fa5dd0601 More bug 460020: lots of string optimizations inhibited for string
subclasses, all "the usual" ones (slicing etc), plus replace, translate,
ljust, rjust, center and strip.  I don't know how to be sure they've all
been caught.

Question:  Should we complain if someone tries to intern an instance of
a string subclass?  I hate to slow any code on those paths.
2001-09-12 02:18:30 +00:00
Tim Peters 5a49ade70e More on SF bug [#460020] bug or feature: unicode() and subclasses.
Repaired str(i) to return a genuine string when i is an instance of a str
subclass.  New PyString_CheckExact() macro.

Guido van Rossum 29d55a38ce Fix a memory leak in str_subtype_new(). (All the other
xxx_subtype_new() functions are OK, but I goofed up in this one. :-( )

Guido van Rossum ae960afb5e Make str and tuple types subclassable. 2001-08-30 03:11:59 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 7c47beb860 Two improvements suggested by Greg Stein:
PyString_FromFormatV(): In the final resize at the end, we can use
    PyString_AS_STRING() since we know the object is a string and can
    avoid the typechecking.

PyString_FromFormat(): GS sez: "For safety/propriety, you should call
    va_end() on the vargs variable."
2001-08-27 03:11:09 +00:00
Tim Peters 6af5bbb565 PyString_FromFormatV: Massage platform %p output to match what gcc does,
at least in the first two characters.  %p is ill-defined, and people will
forever commit bad tests otherwise ("bad" in the sense that they fall
over (at least on Windows) for lack of a leading '0x'; 5 of the 7 tests
in test_repr.py failed on Windows for that reason this time around).
2001-08-25 03:02:28 +00:00
Barry Warsaw dadace004b PyString_FromFormat() and PyString_FromFormatV(): Largely ripped from
PyErr_Format() these new C API methods can be used instead of
    sprintf()'s into hardcoded char* buffers.  This allows us to fix
    many situation where long package, module, or class names get
    truncated in reprs.

    PyString_FromFormat() is the varargs variety.
    PyString_FromFormatV() is the va_list variety

    Original PyErr_Format() code was modified to allow %p and %ld
    expansions.

    Many reprs were converted to this, checkins coming soo.  Not
    changed: complex_repr(), float_repr(), float_print(), float_str(),
    int_repr().  There may be other candidates not yet converted.

    Closes patch #454743.

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.

Jeremy Hylton 3ce45389bd Add _PyUnicode_AsDefaultEncodedString to unicodeobject.h.
And remove all the extern decls in the middle of .c files.
Apparently, it was excluded from the header file because it is
intended for internal use by the interpreter.  It's still intended for
internal use and documented as such in the header file.

Tim Peters 52e155e31b Reformat decl of new _PyString_Join. Add NEWS blurb about repr() speedup. 2001-06-16 05:42:57 +00:00
Tim Peters a7259597f1 SF bug 433228: repr(list) woes when len(list) big.
Gave Python linear-time repr() implementations for dicts, lists, strings.
This means, e.g., that repr(range(50000)) is no longer 50x slower than
pprint.pprint() in 2.2 <wink>.

I don't consider this a bugfix candidate, as it's a performance boost.

Added _PyString_Join() to the internal string API.  If we want that in the
public API, fine, but then it requires runtime error checks instead of
asserts.

Marc-André Lemburg 2d9204199f This patch changes the way the string .encode() method works slightly
and introduces a new method .decode().

The major change is that strg.encode() will no longer try to convert
Unicode returns from the codec into a string, but instead pass along
the Unicode object as-is. The same is now true for all other codec
return types. The underlying C APIs were changed accordingly.

Note that even though this does have the potential of breaking
existing code, the chances are low since conversion from Unicode
previously took place using the default encoding which is normally
set to ASCII rendering this auto-conversion mechanism useless for
most Unicode encodings.

The good news is that you can now use .encode() and .decode() with
much greater ease and that the door was opened for better accessibility
of the builtin codecs.

As demonstration of the new feature, the patch includes a few new
codecs which allow string to string encoding and decoding (rot13,
hex, zip, uu, base64).

Tim Peters 9c012af3c3 Heh. I need a break. After this: stropmodule & stringobject were more
out of synch than I realized, and I managed to break replace's "count"
argument when it was 0.  All is well again.  Maybe.
Bugfix candidate.
2001-05-10 00:32:57 +00:00
Tim Peters 4cd44ef4bf Fudge. stropmodule and stringobject both had copies of the buggy
mymemXXX stuff, and they were already out of synch.  Fix the remaining
bugs in both and get them back in synch.

Tim Peters b4bbcd76ea Ack! Restore the COUNT_ALLOCS one_strings code. 2001-05-09 00:31:40 +00:00
Tim Peters cf5ad5d6f6 My change to string_item() left an extra reference to each 1-character
interned string created by "string"[i].  Since they're immortal anyway,
this was hard to notice, but it was still wrong <wink>.
2001-05-09 00:24:55 +00:00
Tim Peters 5b4d477568 Intern 1-character strings as soon as they're created. As-is, they aren't
interned when created, so the cached versions generally aren't ever
interned.  With the patch, the
		Py_INCREF(t);
		*p = t;
		Py_DECREF(s);
		return;
indirection block in PyString_InternInPlace() is never executed during a
full run of the test suite, but was executed very many times before.  So
I'm trading more work when creating one-character strings for doing less
work later.  Note that the "more work" here can happen at most 256 times
per program run, so it's trivial.  The same reasoning accounts for the
patch's simplification of string_item (the new version can call
PyString_FromStringAndSize() no more than 256 times per run, so there's
no point to inlining that stuff -- if we were serious about saving time
here, we'd pre-initialize the characters vector so that no runtime testing
at all was needed!).
2001-05-08 22:33:50 +00:00
Tim Peters 2cfe368283 Make unicode.join() work nice with iterators. This also required a change
to string.join(), so that when the latter figures out in midstream that
it really needs unicode.join() instead, unicode.join() can actually get
all the sequence elements (i.e., there's no guarantee that the sequence
passed to string.join() can be iterated over *again* by unicode.join(),
so string.join() must not pass on the original sequence object anymore).

Guido van Rossum 189f1df301 Add a proper implementation for the tp_str slot (returning self, of
course), so I can get rid of the special case for strings in
PyObject_Str().
2001-05-01 16:51:53 +00:00
Tim Peters b3d8d1f76c A different approach to the problem reported in
Patch #419651: Metrowerks on Mac adds 0x itself
C std says %#x and %#X conversion of 0 do not add the 0x/0X base marker.
Metrowerks apparently does.  Mark Favas reported the same bug under a
Compaq compiler on Tru64 Unix, but no other libc broken in this respect
is known (known to be OK under MSVC and gcc).
So just try the damn thing at runtime and see what the platform does.
Note that we've always had bugs here, but never knew it before because
a relevant test case didn't exist before 2.1.

Guido van Rossum 59d1d2b434 Iterators phase 1. This comprises:
new slot tp_iter in type object, plus new flag Py_TPFLAGS_HAVE_ITER
new C API PyObject_GetIter(), calls tp_iter
new builtin iter(), with two forms: iter(obj), and iter(function, sentinel)
new internal object types iterobject and calliterobject
new exception StopIteration
new opcodes for "for" loops, GET_ITER and FOR_ITER (also supported by dis.py)
new magic number for .pyc files
new special method for instances: __iter__() returns an iterator
iteration over dictionaries: "for x in dict" iterates over the keys
iteration over files: "for x in file" iterates over lines

TODO:

documentation
test suite
decide whether to use a different way to spell iter(function, sentinal)
decide whether "for key in dict" is a good idea
use iterators in map/filter/reduce, min/max, and elsewhere (in/not in?)
speed tuning (make next() a slot tp_next???)

Tim Peters fff5325078 Bug 415514 reported that e.g.
"%#x" % 0
blew up, at heart because C sprintf supplies a base marker if and only if
the value is not 0.  I then fixed that, by tolerating C's inconsistency
when it does %#x, and taking away that *Python* produced 0x0 when
formatting 0L (the "long" flavor of 0) under %#x itself.  But after talking
with Guido, we agreed it would be better to supply 0x for the short int
case too, despite that it's inconsistent with C, because C is inconsistent
with itself and with Python's hex(0) (plus, while "%#x" % 0 didn't work
before, "%#x" % 0L *did*, and returned "0x0").  Similarly for %#X conversion.

Tim Peters 711088d9b8 Fix for SF bug #415514: "%#x" % 0 caused assertion failure/abort.
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=415514&group_id=5470&atid=105470
For short ints, Python defers to the platform C library to figure out what
%#x should do.  The code asserted that the platform C returned a string
beginning with "0x".  However, that's not true when-- and only when --the
*value* being formatted is 0.  Changed the code to live with C's inconsistency
here.  In the meantime, the problem does not arise if you format a long 0 (0L)
instead.  However, that's because the code *we* wrote to do %#x conversions on
longs produces a leading "0x" regardless of value.  That's probably wrong too:
we should drop leading "0x", for consistency with C, when (& only when) formatting
0L.  So I changed the long formatting code to do that too.

Tim Peters 19fe14e76a Derivative of patch #102549, "simpler, faster(!) implementation of string.join".
Also fixes two long-standing bugs (present in 2.0):
1. .join() didn't check that the result size fit in an int.
2. string.join(s) when len(s)==1 returned s[0] regardless of s[0]'s
   type; e.g., "".join([3]) returned 3 (overly optimistic optimization).
I resisted a keen temptation to make .join() apply str() automagically.

Marc-André Lemburg 3a645e4dd4 Added checks to prevent PyUnicode_Count() from dumping core
in case the parameters are out of bounds and fixes error handling
for .count(), .startswith() and .endswith() for the case of

This patch adds Python style index semantics to PyUnicode_Count()
indices (including the special handling of negative indices).

The patch is an extended version of patch #103249 submitted
by Michael Hudson (mwh) on SF. It also includes new test cases.

Tim Peters 38fd5b6413 Derived from Martin's SF patch 110609: support unbounded ints in %d,i,u,x,X,o formats.
Note a curious extension to the std C rules:  x, X and o formatting can never produce
a sign character in C, so the '+' and ' ' flags are meaningless for them.  But
unbounded ints *can* produce a sign character under these conversions (no fixed-
width bitstring is wide enough to hold all negative values in 2's-comp form).  So
these flags become meaningful in Python when formatting a Python long which is too
big to fit in a C long.  This required shuffling around existing code, which hacked
x and X conversions to death when both the '#' and '0' flags were specified:  the
hacks weren't strong enough to deal with the simultaneous possibility of the ' ' or
'+' flags too, since signs were always meaningless before for x and X conversions.
Isomorphic shuffling was required in unicodeobject.c.
Also added dozens of non-trivial new unbounded-int test cases to test_format.py.
2000-09-21 05:43:11 +00:00
Marc-André Lemburg d1ba443206 This patch adds a new Python C API called PyString_AsStringAndSize()
which implements the automatic conversion from Unicode to a string
object using the default encoding.

The new API is then put to use to have eval() and exec accept
Unicode objects as code parameter. This closes bugs #110924
and #113890.

As side-effect, the traditional C APIs PyString_Size() and
PyString_AsString() will also accept Unicode objects as
parameters.

Tim Peters 8f422461b4 Fix for bug 113934. string*n and unicode*n did no overflow checking at
all, either to see whether the # of chars fit in an int, or that the

the alternative is silently wrong answers (as in the bug report) or
core dumps (which were easy to provoke using Unicode strings).
