The switch in Exception__str__ didn't clear the error if
PySequence_Size() raised an exception. Added a case -1 which clears
the error and falls through to the default case.
Definite backport candidate (this dates all the way to Python 2.0).
than when this interval was first established. Checking too frequently just
adds needless overhead because most of the time there is nothing to do and
no other threads ready to run.
globals, _Py_Ticker and _Py_CheckInterval. This also implements Jeremy's
shortcut in Py_AddPendingCall that zeroes out _Py_Ticker. This allows the
test in the main loop to only test a single value.

Use a slightly different strategy to determine when not to call the line
trace function. This removes the need for the RETURN_NONE opcode, so
that's gone again. Update docs and comments to match.
Thanks to Neal and Armin!
Also add a test suite. This should have come with the original patch...
in LOAD_GLOBAL. Besides saving a C function call, it saves checks
whether f_globals and f_builtins are dicts, and extracting and testing
the string object's hash code is done only once. We bail out of the
inlining if the name is not exactly a string, or when its hash is -1;
because of interning, neither should ever happen. I believe interning
guarantees that the hash code is set, and I believe that the 'names'
tuple of a code object always contains interned strings, but I'm not
assuming that -- I'm simply testing hash != -1.
On my home machine, this makes a pystone variant with new-style
classes and slots run at the same speed as classic pystone! (With
new-style classes but without slots, it is still a lot slower.)
Also, don't handle METH_OLDARGS on the fast path. All the interesting
builtins have been converted to use METH_NOARGS, METH_O, or
METH_VARARGS.
Result is another 1-2% speedup. If I can cobble together 10 of these,
it might make a difference.
This makes the code much easier to ready, because it is at a sane
indentation level. On my box this shows a 1-2% speedup, which means
nothing, except that I'm not going to worry about the performance
effects of the change.
nothing special done if keyword arguments were present, so test for
that earlier and fall through to the normal case if there are any.
This ought to slow down CFunction calls with keyword args, but I don't
care; it's a tiny (1%) improvement for pystone.
- Use PyObject_Call() instead of PyEval_CallObject(), saves several
layers of calls and checks.
- Pre-allocate the argument tuple rather than calling Py_BuildValue()
each time round the loop.
- For filter(None, seq), avoid an INCREF and a DECREF.
warning for 'global None', but that's either accompanied by an
assignment to None, which will trigger a warning, or not, in which
case it's harmless. :-)
[ 587993 ] SET_LINENO killer
Remove SET_LINENO. Tracing is now supported by inspecting co_lnotab.
Many sundry changes to document and adapt to this change.
currently return inconsistent results for ints and longs; in
particular: hex/oct/%u/%o/%x/%X of negative short ints, and x<<n that
either loses bits or changes sign. (No warnings for repr() of a long,
though that will also change to lose the trailing 'L' eventually.)
This introduces some warnings in the test suite; I'll take care of
those later.
Change the parser and compiler to use PyMalloc.
Only the files implementing processes that will request memory
allocations small enough for PyMalloc to be a win have been
changed, which are:-
- Python/compile.c
- Parser/acceler.c
- Parser/node.c
- Parser/parsetok.c
This augments the aggressive overallocation strategy implemented by
Tim Peters in PyNode_AddChild() [Parser/node.c], in reducing the
impact of platform malloc()/realloc()/free() corner case behaviour.
Such corner cases are known to be triggered by test_longexp and
test_import.
Jeremy Hylton, in accepting this patch, recommended this as a
bugfix candidate for 2.2. While the changes to Python/compile.c
and Parser/node.c backport easily (and could go in), the changes
to Parser/acceler.c and Parser/parsetok.c require other not
insignificant changes as a result of the differences in the memory
APIs between 2.3 and 2.2, which I'm not in a position to work
through at the moment. This is a pity, as the Parser/parsetok.c
changes are the most important after the Parser/node.c changes, due
to the size of the memory requests involved and their frequency.
actual script to run in case we are running from an applet. If we are indeed
running an applet we skip the normal option processing leaving it all to the
applet code.
This allows us to get use the normal python binary in the Python.app bundle,
giving us all the normal command line options through PythonLauncher while
still allowing Python.app to be used as the template for building applets.
Consequently, pythonforbundle is gone, and Mac/Python/macmain.c isn't used
on OSX anymore.
