Guido van Rossum ea424e19f1 Apparently __GNU_LIBRARY__ is defined for glibc as well as for libc5.
The test really wanted to distinguish between the two.  So now we test
for __GLIBC__ instead.  I have confirmed that this works for glibc and
I have an email from Christian Tanzer confirming that it works for
libc5, so it should be fine.

I have attached a new cPickle that adds a new control attribute
to unpicklers:

  Added new Unpickler attribute, find_global.  If set to None, then
  global and instance pickles are disabled.  Otherwise, it should be set to
  a callable object that takes two arguments, a module name and an
  object name, and returns an object.  If the attribute is unset, then
  the default mechanism is used.

  This feature provides an additional mechanism for controlling which
  classes can be used for unpickling.

Guido van Rossum a7379d9a34 Avoid triggering Alpha OSF/1 specific code on Alpha NT or Linux. 1999-04-19 16:50:26 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 7a1229991d Put back __osf__ support for gethostbyname_r(); the real bug was that
it was being used even without threads.  This of course might be an
all-platform problem so now we only use the _r variant when we are
using threads.

Guido van Rossum 761fcd03aa Fix accidentally reversed NULL test in load_mark(). Suggested by
Tamito Kajiyama.  (This caused a bug only on platforms where malloc(0)
returns NULL.)

Guido van Rossum b729a1d0a8 Patch by Andrew Kuchling to unflush() (flush() for deflating).
Without this, if inflate() returned Z_BUF_ERROR asking for more output
space, we would report the error; now, we increase the buffer size and
try again, just as for Z_OK.

Guido van Rossum 57731607c3 Chris Lawrence writes:
"""
The GNU folks, in their infinite wisdom, have decided not to implement
altzone in libc6; this would not be horrible, except that timezone
(which is implemented) includes the current DST setting (i.e. timezone
for Central is 18000 in summer and 21600 in winter).  So Python's
timezone and altzone variables aren't set correctly during DST.

Here's a patch relative to 1.5.2b2 that (a) makes timezone and altzone
show the "right" thing on Linux (by using the tm_gmtoff stuff
available in BSD, which is how the GLIBC manual claims things should
be done) and (b) should cope with the southern hemisphere.  In pursuit
of (b), I also took the liberty of renaming the "summer" and "winter"
variables to "july" and "jan".  This patch should also make certain
time calculations on Linux actually work right (like the tz-aware
functions in the rfc822 module).

(It's hard to find DST that's currently being used in the southern
hemisphere; I tested using Africa/Windhoek.)

Guido van Rossum cf95b0f44a Avoid warnings from AIX compiler. Reported by Vladimir (AIX is my

Andrew M. Kuchling b95227db4f Add an .unused_data attribute to decompressor objects. If .unused_data
is not an empty string, this means that you have arrived at the
end of the stream of compressed data, and the contents of .unused_data are
whatever follows the compressed stream.

Guido van Rossum e7de2061b4 Implement two suggestions by Jonathan Giddy: (1) in AIX, clear the
data struct before calling gethostby{name,addr}_r(); (2) ignore the
3/5/6 args determinations made by the configure script and switch on
platform identifiers instead:

AIX, OSF have 3 args
Sun, SGI have 5 args
Linux has 6 args

On all other platforms, undef HAVE_GETHOSTBYNAME_R altogether.

Guido van Rossum 8ad22c8153 Add $(EXE) to various occurrences of python so it will work on Cygwin
with egcs (after setting EXE=.exe).  Patch by Norman Vine.

Guido van Rossum 3baaa1375b Clean up pass for the previous patches.
- Use HAVE_GETHOSTBYNAME_R_6_ARG instead of testing for Linux and
glibc2.

- If gethostbyname takes 3 args, undefine HAVE_GETHOSTBYNAME_R --
don't know what code should be used.

- New symbol USE_GETHOSTBYNAME_LOCK defined iff the lock should be used.

- Modify the gethostbyaddr() code to also hold on to the lock until
after it is safe to release, overlapping with the Python lock.

(Note: I think that it could in theory be possible that Python code
executed while gethostbyname_lock is held could attempt to reacquire
the lock -- e.g. in a signal handler or destructor.  I will simply say
"don't do that then.")

Guido van Rossum 955becc3d9 Jonathan Giddy writes:
Here's a patch to fix the race condition, which wasn't fixed by Rob's
patch.  It holds the gethostbyname lock until the results are copied out,
which means that this lock and the Python global lock are held at the same
time.  This shouldn't be a problem as long as the gethostbyname lock is
always acquired when the global lock is not held.

Andrew M. Kuchling 173156fa32 Fixed the flush() method of compression objects; the test for

Guido van Rossum d3eb5774ad Patch by Chris Herborth for BeOS code.
He writes:

I had an off-by-1000 error in floatsleep(),
and the problem with time.clock() is that it's not implemented properly
on QNX... ANSI says it's supposed to return _CPU_ time used by the
process, but on QNX it returns the amount of real time used... so I was
confused.

Guido van Rossum c222ec28a5 Patch by Tadayoshi Funaba (with some changes) to be smarter about
guessing what happened when strftime() returns 0.  Is it buffer
overflow or was the result simply 0 bytes long?  (This happens for an
empty format string, or when the format string is a single %Z and the
timezone is unknown.)  if the buffer is at least 256 times as long as
the format, assume the latter.

Guido van Rossum 5bd69db9f0 In atoi(), don't use isxdigit() to test whether the last character

Barry Warsaw ca74da4e2c Got rid of the file-global PosixError. This was redundant since it
was just an alias for PyExc_OSError and the way we were doing it was
causing a (small) memory leak anyway.  Just use PyExc_OSError
everywhere.

Guido van Rossum 01b7ced834 On Windows, -i shouldn't call set[v]buf(stdin, ...) because it screws

makes probably confuses the stdio library when buffering isn't set to
whatever it is by default.

Guido van Rossum 0c9608cf1b Portability fix for [f]statvfs() return tuple: no longer return the
f_fsid field, since it's not a scalar on all systems supporting this
call (in particular, it's a tuple of two longs on AIX).  Since it's
not particularly useful, just nuke it.  Adapted the doc strings too.
