The list resizing scheme only downsized when more than 16 elements were
removed in a single step: del a[100:120]. As a result, the list would
never shrink when popping elements off one at a time.
This patch makes it shrink whenever more than half of the space is unused.
Also, at Tim's suggestion, renamed _new_size to new_allocated. This makes
the code easier to understand.

codecs.StreamReader now implements buffering, which enables proper

PyUnicode_DecodeUTF16Stateful.

long_pow():
- BUGFIX: This leaked the base and power when the power was negative
(and so the computation delegated to float pow).
- Instead of doing right-to-left exponentiation, do left-to-right. This
is more efficient for small bases, which is the common case.
- In addition, if the exponent is large (more than FIVEARY_CUTOFF
digits), precompute [a**i % c for i in range(32)], and go left to
right 5 bits at a time.
l_divmod():
- The signature changed so that callers who don't want the quotient,
or don't want the remainder, can pass NULL in the slot they don't
want. This saves them from having to declare a vrbl for unwanted
stuff, and remembering to decref it.
long_mod(), long_div(), long_classic_div():
- Adjust to new l_divmod() signature, and simplified as a result.
This checkin is adapted from part 1 (of 3) of Trevor Perrin's patch set.

It's also quicker in what's probably the most common case (the argument

that's a bigger temp memory burden. Yawn.

of no more than 8 elements cannot fail.
listpop(): Take advantage of that its calls to list_resize() and
list_ass_slice() can't fail. This is assert'ed in a debug build now, but
in an icky way. That is, you can't say:
assert(some_call() >= 0);
because then some_call() won't occur at all in a release build. So it
has to be a big pile of #ifdefs on Py_DEBUG (yuck), or the pleasant:
status = some_call();
assert(status >= 0);
But in that case, compilers may whine in a release build, because status
appears unused then. I'm not certain the ugly trick I used here will
convince all compilers to shut up about status (status is always "used" now,
as the first (ignored) clause in a comma expression).

result.
list_resize(): Document the intent. Code is increasingly relying on
subtle aspects of its behavior, and they deserve to be spelled out.
list_ass_slice(): A bit more simplification, by giving it a common
error exit and initializing more values.
Be clearer in comments about what "size" means (# of elements? # of
bytes?).
While the number of elements in a list slice must fit in an int, there's
no guarantee that the number of bytes occupied by the slice will. That
malloc() and memmove() take size_t arguments is a hint about that <wink>.
So changed to use size_t where appropriate.
ihigh - ilow should always be >= 0, but we never asserted that. We do
now.
The loop decref'ing the recycled slice had a subtle insecurity: C doesn't
guarantee that a pointer one slot *before* an array will compare "less
than" to a pointer within the array (it does guarantee that a pointer
one beyond the end of the array compares as expected). This was actually
an issue in KSR's C implementation, so isn't purely theoretical. Python
probably has other "go backwards" loops with a similar glitch.
list_clear() is OK (it marches an integer backwards, not a pointer).
though I tried to be very careful. This is a slight simplification, and it
adds a new feature: a small stack-allocated "recycled" array for the cases
when we don't remove too many items.
It allows PyList_SetSlice() to never fail if:
* you are sure that the object is a list; and
* you either do not remove more than 8 items, or clear the list.
This makes a number of other places in the source code correct again -- there
are some places that delete a single item without checking for MemoryErrors
raised by PyList_SetSlice(), or that clear the whole list, and sometimes the
context doesn't allow an error to be propagated.
invariants allows the ob_item != NULL check to be replaced with an
assertion.
* Added assertions to list_init() which document and verify that the
tp_new slot establishes the invariants. This may preclude a future
bug if a custom tp_new slot is written.
to NULL during the lifetime of the object.
* listobject.c nevertheless did not conform to the other invariants,
either; fixed.
* listobject.c now uses list_clear() as the obvious internal way to clear
a list, instead of abusing list_ass_slice() for that. It makes it easier
to enforce the invariant about ob_item == NULL.
* listsort() sets allocated to -1 during sort; any mutation will set it
to a value >= 0, so it is a safe way to detect mutation. A negative
value for allocated does not cause a problem elsewhere currently.
test_sort.py has a new test for this fix.
* listsort() leak: if items were added to the list during the sort, AND if
these items had a __del__ that puts still more stuff into the list,
then this more stuff (and the PyObject** array to hold them) were
overridden at the end of listsort() and never released.
mutation during list.sort() used to rely on that listobject.c always
NULL'ed ob_item when ob_size fell to 0. That's no longer true, so the
test for list mutation during a sort is no longer reliable. Changed the
test to rely instead on that listobject.c now never NULLs-out ob_item
after (if ever) ob_item gets a non-NULL value. This new assumption is
also documented now, as a required invariant in listobject.h.
The new assumption allowed some real simplification to some of the
hairier code in listsort(), so is a Good Thing on that count.

The Py2.3 approach overallocated small lists by up to 8 elements.
The last checkin would limited this to one but slowed down (by 20 to 30%)
the creation of small lists between 3 to 8 elements.
This tune-up balances the two, limiting overallocation to 3 elements
(significantly reducing space consumption from Py2.3) and running faster
than the previous checkin.
The first part of the growth pattern (0, 4, 8, 16) neatly meshes with
allocators that trigger data movement only when crossing a power of two
boundary. Also, then even numbers mesh well with common data alignments.
realloc(). This is achieved by tracking the overallocation size in a new
field and using that information to skip calls to realloc() whenever
possible.
* Simplified and tightened the amount of overallocation. For larger lists,
this overallocates by 1/8th (compared to the previous scheme which ranged
between 1/4th to 1/32nd over-allocation). For smaller lists (n<6), the
maximum overallocation is one byte (formerly it could be upto eight bytes).
This saves memory in applications with large numbers of small lists.
* Eliminated the NRESIZE macro in favor of a new, static list_resize function
that encapsulates the resizing logic. Coverting this back to macro would
give a small (under 1%) speed-up. This was too small to warrant the loss
of readability, maintainability, and de-coupling.
* Some functions using NRESIZE had grown unnecessarily complex in their
efforts to bend to the macro's calling pattern. With the new list_resize
function in place, those other functions could be simplified. That is
being saved for a separate patch.
* The ob_item==NULL check could be eliminated from the new list_resize
function. This would entail finding each piece of code that sets ob_item
to NULL and adding a new line to invalidate the overallocation tracking
field. Rather than impose a new requirement on other pieces of list code,
it was preferred to leave the NULL check in place and retain the benefits
of decoupling, maintainability and information hiding (only PyList_New()
and list_sort() need to know about the new field). This approach also
reduces the odds of breaking an extension module.

Duncan Booth investigated, and discovered that an "optimisation" was
in fact a pessimisation for small numbers of elements in a source list,
compared to not having the optimisation, although with large numbers
of elements in the source list the optimisation was quite beneficial.
He posted his change to comp.lang.python (but not to SF).
Further research has confirmed his assessment that the optimisation only
becomes a net win when the source list has more than 100 elements.
I also found that the optimisation could apply to tuples as well,
but the gains only arrive with source tuples larger than about 320
elements and are nowhere near as significant as the gains with lists,
(~95% gain @ 10000 elements for lists, ~20% gain @ 10000 elements for
tuples) so I haven't proceeded with this.
The code as it was applied the optimisation to list subclasses as
well, and this also appears to be a net loss for all reasonable sized
sources (~80-100% for up to 100 elements, ~20% for more than 500
elements; I tested up to 10000 elements).
Duncan also suggested special casing empty lists, which I've extended
to all empty sequences.
On the basis that list_fill() is only ever called with a list for the
result argument, testing for the source being the destination has

This addresses most of the remaining semantic changes promised by

hex/oct literals and I think it's best to be silent now.

by the function object or by the method object, the function
object's attribute usually wins. Christian Tismer pointed out that
that this is really a mistake, because this only happens for special

subtype_dealloc(): This left the dying object exposed to gc, so that
if cyclic gc triggered during the weakref callback, gc tried to delete
the dying object a second time. That's a disaster. subtype_dealloc()
had a (I hope!) unique problem here, as every normal dealloc routine
untracks the object (from gc) before fiddling with weakrefs etc. But
subtype_dealloc has obscure technical reasons for re-registering the
dying object with gc (already explained in a large comment block at
the bottom of the function).
The fix amounts to simply refraining from reregistering the dying object
with gc until after the weakref callback (if any) has been called.
This is a critical bug (hard to predict, and causes seemingly random
memory corruption when it occurs). I'll backport it to 2.3 later.

If a length-1 Unicode string was in the freelist and it was
uninitialized or pointed to a very large (magnitude) negative number,
the check
unicode_latin1[unicode->str[0]] == unicode
could cause a segmentation violation, e.g. unicode->str[0] is 0xcbcbcbcb.
Fix this in two ways:
1. Change guard befor unicode_latin1[] to test against 256U. If I
understand correctly, the unsigned long used to store UCS4 on my
box was getting converted to a signed long to compare with the
signed constant 256.
2. Change _PyUnicode_New() to make sure the first element of str is
always initialized to zero. There are several places in the code
where the caller can exit with an error before initializing any
of str, which would leave junk in str[0].
Also, silence a compiler warning on pointer vs. int arithmetic.
Bug fix candidate.
The unicode_resize() family only returns -1 or 0 so simply checking
for != 0 is sufficient, but somewhat unclear. Many Python API
functions return < 0 on error, reserving the right to return 0 or 1 on
success. Change the call sites for consistency with these calls.
file_truncate(): C doesn't define what fflush(fp) does if fp is open
for update, and the preceding I/O operation on fp was input. On Windows,
fflush() actually changes the current file position then. Because
Windows doesn't support ftruncate() directly, this not only caused
Python's file.truncate() to change the file position (contra our docs),
it also caused the file not to change size.
Repaired by getting the initial file position at the start, restoring
it at the end, and tossing all the complicated micro-efficiency checks
trying to avoid "provably unnecessary" seeks. file.truncate() can't
be a frequent operation, and seeking to the current file position has
got to be cheap anyway.

tp_free is NULL or PyObject_Del at the end. Because it's a base type
it must call tp_free in its dealloc function, and because it's gc'able
it must not call PyObject_Del.
inherit_slots(): Don't inherit tp_free unless the type and its base
agree about whether they're gc'able. If the type is gc'able and the
base is not, and the base uses the default PyObject_Del for its
tp_free, give the type PyObject_GC_Del for its tp_free (the appropriate
default for a gc'able type).
cPickle.c: The Pickler and Unpickler types claim to be base classes
and gc'able, but their dealloc functions didn't call tp_free.
Repaired that. Also call PyType_Ready() on these typeobjects, so
that the correct (PyObject_GC_Del) default memory-freeing function
gets plugged into these types' tp_free slots.
