Thomas Heller 085358a3e2 New functions for extension writers on Windows:
PyErr_SetExcFromWindowsErr(), PyErr_SetExcFromWindowsErrWithFilename().

Similar to PyErr_SetFromWindowsErrWithFilename() and
PyErr_SetFromWindowsErr(), but they allow to specify
the exception type to raise. Available on Windows.

See SF patch #576458.

Neal Norwitz 36eb4b2d7e Pure Python strptime implementation by Brett Cannon. See SF patch 474274. 2002-07-19 18:38:25 +00:00
Barry Warsaw f31ff27c57 (py-pychecker-run): Use the last pychecker invocation as the default
contents of the next command.
2002-07-17 21:25:43 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 1f4fed68e9 We need to (require 'compile) to guarantee that compile-internal is
defined.  /Really/ closes SF # 580631.
2002-07-17 13:45:00 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 32a03967b7 (py-imenu-create-index-function): Skip over stuff that looks like code
but which is in a comment or string.  Closes SF bug # 572341 reported
by Adrian van den Dries.
2002-07-16 16:04:13 +00:00
Barry Warsaw daa192104d (py-pychecker-run): Thomas Heller points out that this function messes
up the compile command's history.  Fix that by using compile-internal.

Fixes SF bug # 580631

Mark Hammond c0e35158fb Add a blurb on the 3 Windows bugs I worked on over the last couple of days. 2002-07-16 01:32:30 +00:00
Tim Peters a65523a151 Added Andrew MacIntyre -- overdue! 2002-07-15 16:13:06 +00:00
Tim Peters 58cf361e35 docompare(): Another reasonable optimization from Jonathan Hogg for the
explicit comparison function case:  use PyObject_Call instead of
PyEval_CallObject.  Same thing in context, but gives a 2.4% overall
speedup when sorting a list of ints via list.sort(__builtin__.cmp).

Marc-André Lemburg 58e2ff2e81 Mention new encoding. 2002-07-12 14:40:04 +00:00

Tim Peters 62fc52e6a1 Recorded the introduction release for each gimmick, as best I was able to
reconstruct that info.
Filled out some sketchy explanations of pragmatics.
2002-07-11 00:23:58 +00:00
Tim Peters 20c8a04a08 Some clarifications. 2002-07-11 00:02:52 +00:00
Tim Peters 889f61dcfb Documented PYMALLOC_DEBUG. This completes primary coverage of all the
"special builds" I ever use.  If you use others, document them here, or
don't be surprised if I rip out the code for them <0.5 wink>.
2002-07-10 19:29:49 +00:00
Tim Peters a788f5ef02 Clarified sys.getobjects() pragmatics. 2002-07-10 18:47:03 +00:00

Tim Peters 3486f617a1 Checkin comment. 2002-07-09 18:48:32 +00:00
Tim Peters 6045d48e5c New file to try to document the "special build" preprocessor symbols.
Incomplete.  Add to it!  Once it settles down, it would make a nice
appendix in the real docs.
2002-07-09 18:35:34 +00:00
Tim Peters 7c321a80f9 The Py_REF_DEBUG/COUNT_ALLOCS/Py_TRACE_REFS macro minefield: added
more trivial lexical helper macros so that uses of these guys expand
to nothing at all when they're not enabled.  This should help sub-
standard compilers that can't do a good job of optimizing away the
previous "(void)0" expressions.

Py_DECREF:  There's only one definition of this now.  Yay!  That
was that last one in the family defined multiple times in an #ifdef
maze.

Py_FatalError():  Changed the char* signature to const char*.

_Py_NegativeRefcount():  New helper function for the Py_REF_DEBUG
expansion of Py_DECREF.  Calling an external function cuts down on
the volume of generated code.  The previous inline expansion of abort()
didn't work as intended on Windows (the program often kept going, and
the error msg scrolled off the screen unseen).  _Py_NegativeRefcount
calls Py_FatalError instead, which captures our best knowledge of
how to abort effectively across platforms.

Tim Peters c6a3ff634a SF bug 578752: COUNT_ALLOCS vs heap types
Repair segfaults and infinite loops in COUNT_ALLOCS builds in the
presence of new-style (heap-allocated) classes/types.

Bugfix candidate.  I'll backport this to 2.2.  It's irrelevant in 2.1.
2002-07-08 22:11:52 +00:00
Tim Peters 943382c8e5 Removed WITH_CYCLE_GC #ifdef-ery. Holes:
+ I'm not sure what to do about configure.in.  Left it alone.

+ Ditto pyexpat.c.  Fred or Martin will know what to do.
2002-07-07 03:59:34 +00:00
Tim Peters 1de41bfbc0 Stop trying to cater to platforms with a broken HUGE_VAL definition. It
breaks other platforms (in this case, the hack for broken Cray systems in
turn caused failure on a Mac system broken in a different way).
