Georg Brandl 3267d28f9d Bug #1566800: make sure that EnvironmentError can be called with any
number of arguments, as was the case in Python 2.4.

Georg Brandl c7986cee76 Fix a bug in traceback.format_exception_only() that led to an error
being raised when print_exc() was called without an exception set.
In version 2.4, this printed "None", restored that behavior.

Neal Norwitz 3a23017bb2 Bug #1557232: fix seg fault with def f((((x)))) and def f(((x),)).
These tests should be improved.  Hopefully this fixes variations when
flipping back and forth between fpdef and fplist.

Backport candidate.

Neal Norwitz 4a8fbdb1b2 Fix %zd string formatting on Mac OS X so it prints negative numbers.
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).

Georg Brandl ec6c2dfb63 Forward-port of rev. 51857:
Building with HP's cc on HP-UX turned up a couple of problems.
_PyGILState_NoteThreadState was declared as static inconsistently.
Make it static as it's not necessary outside of this module.

Some tests failed because errno was reset to 0. (I think the tests
that failed were at least: test_fcntl and test_mailbox).
Ensure that errno doesn't change after a call to Py_END_ALLOW_THREADS.
This only affected debug builds.
2006-09-11 09:38:35 +00:00
Neal Norwitz bcc119a22c Forward port of 51850 from release25-maint branch.
As mentioned on python-dev, reverting patch #1504333 because it introduced
an infinite loop in rev 47154.

This patch also adds a test to prevent the regression.

Neal Norwitz dac090d3e6 Bug #1520864 (again): unpacking singleton tuples in list comprehensions and
generator expressions (x for x, in ... ) works again.

Sigh, I only fixed for loops the first time, not list comps and genexprs too.
I couldn't find any more unpacking cases where there is a similar bug lurking.

This code should be refactored to eliminate the duplication.  I'm sure
the listcomp/genexpr code can be refactored.  I'm not sure if the for loop
can re-use any of the same code though.

Will backport to 2.5 (the only place it matters).

Tim Peters c10c9d0d6b "Conceptual" merge of rev 51711 from the 2.5 branch.
i_divmod():  As discussed on Python-Dev, changed the overflow
checking to live happily with recent gcc optimizations that
assume signed integer arithmetic never overflows.

This differs from the corresponding change on the 2.5 and 2.4
branches, using a less obscure approach, but one that /may/
tickle platform idiocies in their definitions of LONG_MIN.
The 2.4 + 2.5 change avoided introducing a dependence on
LONG_MIN, at the cost of substantially goofier code.

Thomas Heller 867200483b Apply the patch #1532975 plus ideas from the patch #1533481.
ctypes instances no longer have the internal and undocumented
'_as_parameter_' attribute which was used to adapt them to foreign
function calls; this mechanism is replaced by a function pointer in
the type's stgdict.

In the 'from_param' class methods, try the _as_parameter_ attribute if
other conversions are not possible.

This makes the documented _as_parameter_ mechanism work as intended.

Change the ctypes version number to 1.0.1.

Neal Norwitz 1872b1c01f Fix a couple of bugs exposed by the new __index__ code. The 64-bit buildbots
were failing due to inappropriate clipping of numbers larger than 2**31
with new-style classes. (typeobject.c)  In reviewing the code for classic
classes, there were 2 problems.  Any negative value return could be returned.
Always return -1 if there was an error.  Also make the checks similar
with the new-style classes.  I believe this is correct for 32 and 64 bit
boxes, including Windows64.

Add a test of classic classes too.

Neal Norwitz 8a87f5d37e Patch #1538606, Patch to fix __index__() clipping.

the lnotab is generated incorrectly.  It would be great if people
that use pdb or tracing could test heavily.

Also:
 * Remove dead/duplicated code that wasn't used/necessary
   because we already handled the docstring prior to entering the loop.
 * add some debugging code into the compiler (#if 0'd out).

Barry Warsaw 00decd7835 Patch #1520294: Support for getset and member descriptors in types.py,
inspect.py, and pydoc.py.  Specifically, this allows for querying the type of
an object against these built-in C types and more importantly, for getting
their docstrings printed in the interactive interpreter's help() function.

This patch includes a new built-in module called _types which provides
definitions of getset and member descriptors for use by the types.py module.
These types are exposed as types.GetSetDescriptorType and
types.MemberDescriptorType.  Query functions are provided as
inspect.isgetsetdescriptor() and inspect.ismemberdescriptor().  The
implementations of these are robust enough to work with Python implementations
other than CPython, which may not have these fundamental types.

The patch also includes documentation and test suite updates.

I commit these changes now under these guiding principles:

1. Silence is assent.  The release manager has not said "no", and of the few
   people that cared enough to respond to the thread, the worst vote was "0".

2. It's easier to ask for forgiveness than permission.

3. It's so dang easy to revert stuff in svn, that you could view this as a
   forcing function. :)

Windows build patches will follow.

Tim Peters bc24eee333 Bug #1521947: possible bug in mystrtol.c with recent gcc.
In general, C doesn't define anything about what happens when
an operation on a signed integral type overflows, and PyOS_strtol()
did several formally undefined things of that nature on signed
longs.  Some version of gcc apparently tries to exploit that now,
and PyOS_strtol() could fail to detect overflow then.

Tried to repair all that, although it seems at least as likely to me
that we'll get screwed by bad platform definitions for LONG_MIN
and/or LONG_MAX now.  For that reason, I don't recommend backporting
this.

Note that I have no box on which this makes a lick of difference --
can't really test it, except to note that it didn't break anything
on my boxes.

Silent change:  PyOS_strtol() used to return the hard-coded 0x7fffffff
in case of overflow.  Now it returns LONG_MAX.  They're the same only on
32-bit boxes (although C doesn't guarantee that either ...).

Barry Warsaw b110bad2d9 More RFC 2231 improvements for the email 4.0 package. As Mark Sapiro rightly
points out there are really two types of continued headers defined in this
RFC (i.e. "encoded" parameters with the form "name*0*=" and unencoded
parameters with the form "name*0="), but we were were handling them both the
same way and that isn't correct.

This patch should be much more RFC compliant in that only encoded params are
%-decoded and the charset/language information is only extract if there are
any encoded params in the segments.  If there are no encoded params then the
RFC says that there will be no charset/language parts.

Note however that this will change the return value for Message.get_param() in
some cases.  For example, whereas before if you had all unencoded param
continuations you would have still gotten a 3-tuple back from this method
(with charset and language == None), you will now get just a string.  I don't
believe this is a backward incompatible change though because the
documentation for this method already indicates that either return value is
possible and that you must do an isinstance(val, tuple) check to discriminate
between the two.  (Yeah that API kind of sucks but we can't change /that/
without breaking code.)

Test cases, some documentation updates, and a NEWS item accompany this patch.

Tim Peters 112aad3630 SF bug 1524317: configure --without-threads fails to build
Moved the code for _PyThread_CurrentFrames() up, so it's no longer
in a huge "#ifdef WITH_THREAD" block (I didn't realize it /was/ in
one).

Changed test_sys's test_current_frames() so it passes with or without
thread supported compiled in.

Note that test_sys fails when Python is compiled without threads,
but for an unrelated reason (the old test_exit() fails with an
indirect ImportError on the `thread` module).  There are also
other unrelated compilation failures without threads, in extension
modules (like ctypes); at least the core compiles again.

Do we really support --without-threads?  If so, there are several
problems remaining.

within the valid range.  Now those values force the value internally to the
minimum value when 0 is passed in.
