Fred Drake 56780257c6 Thomas Wouters <thomas@xs4all.net>:
The following patch adds "sq_contains" support to rangeobject, and enables
the already-written support for sq_contains in listobject and tupleobject.

The rangeobject "contains" code should be a bit more efficient than the
current default "in" implementation ;-) It might not get used much, but it's
not that much to add.

listobject.c and tupleobject.c already had code for sq_contains, and the
proper struct member was set, but the PyType structure was not extended to
include tp_flags, so the object-specific code was not getting called (Go
ahead, test it ;-). I also did this for the immutable_list_type in
listobject.c, eventhough it is probably never used. Symmetry and all that.

Marc-André Lemburg 90e8147118 Marc-Andre Lemburg <mal@lemburg.com>:
Change the default encoding to 'ascii' (it was previously
defined as UTF-8).

Note: The implementation still uses UTF-8 to implement
the buffer protocol, so C APIs will still see UTF-8. This
is on purpose: rather than fixing the Unicode implementation,
the C APIs should be made Unicode aware.

This patch correct bounds checking in PyLong_FromLongLong. Currently, it does
not check properly for negative values when checking to see if the incoming
value fits in a long or unsigned long. This results in possible silent
truncation of the value for very large negative values.

Guido van Rossum b8872e61c6 Trent Mick:
Fix the string methods that implement slice-like semantics with
optional args (count, find, endswith, etc.) to properly handle
indeces outside [INT_MIN, INT_MAX]. Previously the "i" formatter
for PyArg_ParseTuple was used to get the indices. These could overflow.

This patch changes the string methods to use the "O&" formatter with
the slice_index() function from ceval.c which is used to do the same
job for Python code slices (e.g. 'abcabcabc'[0:1000000000L]).

Guido van Rossum b8f820c5a9 The methods islower(), isupper(), isspace(), isdigit() and istitle()

Jeremy Hylton 9e392e2412 potentially useless optimization
The previous checkin (2.84) added a PyErr_Format call that made the
cost of raising an AttributeError much more expensive.  In general
this doesn't matter, except that checks for __init__ and
__del__ methods, where exceptions are caught and cleared in C, also
got much more expensive.

The fix is to split instance_getattr1 into two calls:

instance_getattr2 checks the instance and the class for the attribute
and returns it or returns NULL on error.  It does not raise an
exception.

instance_getattr1 does rexec checks, then calls instance_getattr2.  It
raises an exception if instance_getattr2 returns NULL.

PyInstance_New and instance_dealloc now call instance_getattr2
directly.

Guido van Rossum e92e610a9e Christian Tismer -- total rewrite on trashcan code.
Improvements:
- does no longer need any extra memory
- has no relationship to tstate
- works in debug mode
- can easily be modified for free threading (hi Greg:)

Side effects:
Trashcan does change the order of object destruction.
Prevending that would be quite an immense effort, as
my attempts have shown. This version works always
the same, with debug mode or not. The slightly
changed destruction order should therefore be no problem.

Algorithm:
While the old idea of delaying the destruction of some
obejcts at a certain recursion level was kept, we now
no longer aloocate an object to hold these objects.
The delayed objects are instead chained together
via their ob_type field. The type is encoded via
ob_refcnt. When it comes to the destruction of the
chain of waiting objects, the topmost object is popped
off the chain and revived with type and refcount 1,
then it gets a normal Py_DECREF.

I am confident that this solution is near optimum
for minimizing side effects and code bloat.

Guido van Rossum 5ce78f8e4e Patch by Charles G Waldman to avoid a sneaky memory leak in
_PyTuple_Resize().  In addition, a change suggested by Jeremy Hylton
to limit the size of the free lists is also merged into this patch.

Charles wrote initially:

"""
Test Case:  run the following code:

class Nothing:
    def __len__(self):
        return 5
    def __getitem__(self, i):
        if i < 3:
            return i
        else:
            raise IndexError, i

def g(a,*b,**c):
    return

for x in xrange(1000000):
    g(*Nothing())


and watch Python's memory use go up and up.


Diagnosis:

The analysis begins with the call to PySequence_Tuple at line 1641 in
ceval.c - the argument to g is seen to be a sequence but not a tuple,
so it needs to be converted from an abstract sequence to a concrete
tuple.  PySequence_Tuple starts off by creating a new tuple of length
5 (line 1122 in abstract.c).  Then at line 1149, since only 3 elements
were assigned, _PyTuple_Resize is called to make the 5-tuple into a
3-tuple.  When we're all done the 3-tuple is decrefed, but rather than
being freed it is placed on the free_tuples cache.

The basic problem is that the 3-tuples are being added to the cache
but never picked up again, since _PyTuple_Resize doesn't make use of
the free_tuples cache.  If you are resizing a 5-tuple to a 3-tuple and
there is already a 3-tuple in free_tuples[3], instead of using this
tuple, _PyTuple_Resize will realloc the 5-tuple to a 3-tuple.  It
would more efficient to use the existing 3-tuple and cache the
5-tuple.

By making _PyTuple_Resize aware of the free_tuples (just as
PyTuple_New), we not only save a few calls to realloc, but also
prevent this misbehavior whereby tuples are being added to the
free_tuples list but never properly "recycled".
"""

And later:

"""
This patch replaces my submission of Sun, 16 Apr and addresses Jeremy
Hylton's suggestions that we also limit the size of the free tuple
list.  I chose 2000 as the maximum number of tuples of any particular
size to save.

There was also a problem with the previous version of this patch
causing a core dump if Python was built with Py_TRACE_REFS.  This is
fixed in the below version of the patch, which uses tupledealloc
instead of _Py_Dealloc.

* The experimental Keep-Alive optimization was turned back
  on after some tweaks to the implementation. It should now
  work without causing core dumps... this has yet to tested
  though (switching it off is easy: see the unicodeobject.c
  file for details).

* Fixed a memory leak in the Unicode freelist cleanup code.

* Added tests to correctly process the return code from
  _PyUnicode_Resize().

* Fixed a bug in the 'ignore' error handling routines
  of some builtin codecs. Added test cases for these to
  test_unicode.py.

* '...%s...' % u"abc" now coerces to Unicode just like
  string methods. Care is taken not to reevaluate already formatted
  arguments -- only the first Unicode object appearing in the
  argument mapping is looked up twice. Added test cases for
  this to test_unicode.py.

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).

Guido van Rossum 98c9eba945 Fix bug discovered by John W. Shipman -- when the width of a format
specifier came from an int expression instead of a constant in the
format, a negative width was truncated to zero instead of taken to
mean the same as that negative constant plugged into the format.  E.g.
"(%*s)" % (-5, "foo") yielded "(foo)" while "(%-5s)" yields "(foo  )".
Now both yield the latter -- like sprintf() in C.

2. Fixes float % and float divmod so that the remainder always gets the

doesn't work half the time <wink> when the product of the divisor and the
remainder underflows to 0).

Guido van Rossum bfc725bf64 Changed PySequence_List() and PySequence_Tuple() to support
"indefinite length" sequences.  These should still have a length, but
the length is only used as a hint -- the actual length of the sequence
is determined by the item that raises IndexError, which may be either
smaller or larger than what len() returns.  (This is a novelty; map(),
filter() and reduce() only allow the actual length to be larger than
what len() returns, not shorter.  I'll fix that shortly.)

+ Exploited the now-safe ability to cache values in the partitioning loop.

Guido van Rossum 4c4e7df755 Tim's latest, with some of my changes (also a TP suggestion) added:
instead of testing whether the list changed size after each

type.  This should allow continued use of the list for legitimate
purposes but disallows all operations that can change it in any way.
(Changes to the internals of list items are not caught, of cause;
that's not possible to detect, and it's not necessary to protect the
sort code, either.)

Guido van Rossum f753181272 Subject: Buglet in PyLong_AsLong
From: "Tim Peters" <tim_one@email.msn.com>
To: "Guido van Rossum" <guido@CNRI.Reston.VA.US>
Date: Sat, 23 May 1998 21:45:53 -0400

Guido, the overflow checking in PyLong_AsLong is off a little:

1) If the C in use sign-extends right shifts on signed longs, there's a
spurious overflow error when converting the most-negative int:

Python 1.5.1 (#0, Apr 13 1998, 20:22:04) [MSC 32 bit (Intel)] on win32
Copyright 1991-1995 Stichting Mathematisch Centrum, Amsterdam
>>> x = -1L << 31
>>> x
-2147483648L
>>> int(x)
Traceback (innermost last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
OverflowError: long int too long to convert
>>>

2) If C does not sign-extend, some genuine overflows won't be caught.

The attached should repair both, and, because I installed a new disk and a C
compiler today, it's even been compiled this time <wink>.

Recoded many routines to incorporate better error checking, and/or
better versions of the same function found elsewhere
(e.g. bltinmodule.c or ceval.c).  In particular,
Py_Number_{Int,Long,Float}() now convert from strings, just like the
built-in functions int(), long() and float().

Sequences and mappings are now safe to have NULL function pointers
anywhere in their tp_as_sequence or tp_as_mapping fields.  (A few
places in other files need to be checked in too.)

Renamed PySequence_In() to PySequence_Contains().

Guido van Rossum e23eb57f08 Since PyDict_GetItem() can't raise an exception any more, there's no
need to cxall PyErr_Clear() when it returns NULL.
1998-05-14 01:49:48 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 474b19e2ab Make sure that PyDict_GetItem[String]() *never* raises an exception.
If the argument is not a dictionary, simply return NULL.  If the
hash() on the key fails, clear the error.

Guido van Rossum 9b00dfae75 If USE_STACKCHECK is defined use PyOS_CheckStack() in the repr and str

Guido van Rossum dcb5e7f389 Of course, I shouldn't have used lseek() to find out the file's

Guido van Rossum 044b9dc1d7 Add back some safeguards on the index elements that were lost in the
last patch.  Dave Ascher found a case that dumps core without these:

def myComparison(x,y):
    return cmp(x%3,y%7)

z = range(12)
z.sort(myComparison)

Guido van Rossum f1dc0615e9 Add internal routine _PyModule_Clear(), which does approximately what
clear_carefully() used to do in import.c.  Differences: leave only
__builtins__ alone in the 2nd pass; and don't clear the dictionary (on
the theory that as long as there are references left to the
dictionary, those might be destructors that might expect __builtins__
to be alive when they run; and __builtins__ can't normally be part of
a cycle).

Guido van Rossum 24e62e2c7c Modified quicksort by Raymund Galvin, after studying the GNU libg++
quicksort.  This should be much faster if there are lots of
duplicates, and otherwise at least as good.

Guido van Rossum b7f1afe4a8 Change the default repr() and str() of class instance objects to look
like <modulename.classname instance at ...> (to match the repr() of
class objects.
1997-12-03 00:06:02 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 242c64256c Add a new function PyNumber_CoerceEx() which works just like
PyNumber_Coerce() except that when the coercion can't be done and no
other exceptions happen, it returns 1 instead of raising an
exception.

Use this function in PyObject_Compare() to avoid raising an exception
simply because two objects with numeric behavior can't be coerced to a
common type; instead, proceed with the non-numeric default comparison.

Note that this is a somewhat questionable practice -- comparisons for
numeric objects shouldn't default to random behavior like this, but it
is required for backward compatibility.  (Case in point, it broke
comparison of kjDict objects to integers in Aaron Watters' kjbuckets
extension.)  A correct fix (for python 2.0) should involve a different
definiton of comparison altogether.
1997-11-19 16:03:17 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 3931df9250 Undo another glitch of the automatic not-so-Grand Renaming; some local
variables called 'coerce' were accidentally renamed to
'PyNumber_Coerce'.  Rename them back to coercefunc.
