This completes the q/Q project.
longobject.c _PyLong_AsByteArray: The original code had a gross bug:
the most-significant Python digit doesn't necessarily have SHIFT
significant bits, and you really need to count how many copies of the sign
bit it has else spurious overflow errors result.
test_struct.py: This now does exhaustive std q/Q testing at, and on both
sides of, all relevant power-of-2 boundaries, both positive and negative.
NEWS: Added brief dict news while I was at it.
native mode, and only when config #defines HAVE_LONG_LONG. Standard mode
will eventually treat them as 8-byte ints across all platforms, but that
likely requires a new set of routines in longobject.c first (while
sizeof(long) >= 4 is guaranteed by C, there's nothing in C we can rely
on x-platform to hold 8 bytes of int, so we'll have to roll our own;
I'm thinking of a simple pair of conversion functions, Python long
to/from sized vector of unsigned bytes; that may be useful for GMP
conversions too; std q/Q would call them with size fixed at 8).
test_struct.py: In addition to adding some native-mode 'q' and 'Q' tests,
got rid of unused code, and repaired a non-portable assumption about
native sizeof(short) (it isn't 2 on some Cray boxes).
libstruct.tex: In addition to adding a bit of 'q'/'Q' docs (more needed
later), removed an erroneous footnote about 'I' behavior.
*are* obsolete; three variables and the maketrans() function are not
(yet) obsolete.
Add a compensating warnings.filterwarnings() call to test_strop.py.
Add this to the NEWS.
return a (C) long: PyArg_ParseTuple and Py_BuildValue may not let us get
at the size_t we really want, but C int is clearly too small for a 64-bit
box, and both the start parameter and the return value should work for
large mapped files even on 32-bit boxes. The code really needs to be
rethought from scratch (not by me, though ...).
1) it didn't obey the "start" parameter (and when it does, we must validate
the value)
2) the return value needs to be an absolute index, rather than relative to
some arbitrary point in the file
(checking CVS, it appears this method never worked; these changes bring it
into line with typical .find() behavior)
When getting a string buffer for a string we just created, use
PyString_AS_STRING() instead of PyString_AsString() to avoid the
call overhead and extra type check.
meaning infinity -- but at least warn about it in the code! I pissed
away a couple hours on this today, and don't wish the same on the next
in line.
Bugfix candidate.
means "replace everything". But the string module, string.replace()
amd test_string.py believe a 0 count means "replace nothing".
"Nothing" wins, strop loses.
Bugfix candidate.
Platform blew up on "123".replace("123", ""). Michael Hudson pinned the
blame on platform malloc(0) returning NULL.
This is a candidate for all bugfix releases.
This closes SF bug #231328.
Added all constants needed to use the functions defined in this module
that are not defined elsewhere (the O_* symbols are available in the
os module). No additonal modules are needed to use this now.
PyObject_AsFileDescriptor() -- it does the same thing everywhere, so
use it the same way everyone else does so that exceptions are
consistent. This means we have less code here, and we do not need to
resort to hackish ways of getting the Python-visible function name to
fdconv().
this could cause invalid paths to be returned for AF_UNIX sockets on some
platforms (including FreeBSD 4.2-RELEASE), appearantly because there is
no assurance that the address will be nul-terminated when filled in by the
kernel.
PySocketSock_recvfrom(): Use PyString_AS_STRING() to get the data pointer
of a string we create ourselves; there is no need for the extra type
check from PyString_AsString().
This closes SF bug #416573.
This patch does several things to termios:
(1) changes all functions to be METH_VARARGS
(2) changes all functions to be able to take a file object as the
first parameter, as per
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2001-February/012701.html
(3) give better error messages
(4) removes a bunch of comments that just repeat the docstrings
(5) #includes <termio.h> before #including <sys/ioctl.h> so more
#constants are actually #defined.
(6) a couple of docstring tweaks
I have tested this minimally (i.e. it builds, and
doesn't blow up too embarassingly) on OSF1/alpha and
on one of the sf compile farm's solaris boxes, and
rather more comprehansively on my linux/x86 box.
It still needs to be tested on all the other platforms
we build termios on.
This closes the code portion of SF patch #417081.
while not generally a good idea, this is used by RDF users, and works
to implement RDF-style namespace+localname concatenation as defined
in the RDF specifications. (This also corrects a backwards-compatibility
bug.)
Be more conservative while clearing out handlers; set the slot in the
self->handlers array to NULL before DECREFing the callback.
Still more adjustments to make the code style internally consistent.
OpenSSL versions beore 0.9.5. This just is too experimental to be
worth it, especially since the user would have to do some severe
hacking of the Modules/Setup file to even enable the EGD code, and
without the EGD code it would always spit out a warning on some
systems -- even when socket.ssl() is not used. Fixing that properly
is not my job; the EGD patch is clearly not so important that it
should hold up the 2.1 release.
always:
- #undef HAVE_CONFIG_H (because otherwise chardefs.h tries to include
strings.h)
- #include readline.h and history.h
and we never declare any readline function prototypes ourselves.
This makes it compile with readline 4.2, albeit with a few warnings.
Some of the remaining warnings are about completion_matches(), which
is renamed to rl_completion_matches().
I've tested it with various other versions, from 2.0 up, and they all
seem to work (some with warnings) -- but only on Red Hat Linux 6.2.
Fixing the warnings for readline 4.2 would break compatibility with
3.0 (and maybe even earlier versions), and readline doesn't seem to
have a way to test for its version at compile time, so I'd rather
leave the warnings in than break compilation with older versions.
problem reported by Neil Schemenauer on python-dev on 4/12/01, wth
subject "Problem with SSL and socketmodule on Debian Potato?".
It's tentative because Moshe objected, but Martin rebutted, and Moshe
seems unavailable for comments.
(Note that with OpenSSL 0.9.6a, I get a lot of compilation warnings
for socketmodule.c -- I'm assuming I can safely ignore these until 2.1
is released.)
before calling any callbacks. This is important
since the callback objects only look at themselves
to determine that they are invalide. This change
avoids a segfault when callbacks use a different
reference to an object in the process of being
deallocated.
This fixes SF bug #415660.
(with modification of existing dict elements!).
This is part of SF patch #409864: lazy fix for Pings bizarre scoping
crash.
The adaptation I made to Michael's patch was to change the error
handling to avoid masking other errors (moving the specific error
message to inside test_dict_inner()), and to insert a test for
dict==NULL at the start.
Michael Hudson suggested this fox for the Tru64 problem (SF bug
232597). It looks reasonable, it works on Tru64, and it doesn't beak
anything on Linux, so I say go for it.
