Anthony Baxter ac6bd46d5c spread the extern "C" { } magic pixie dust around. Python itself builds now
using a C++ compiler. Still lots and lots of errors in the modules built by
setup.py, and a bunch of warnings from g++ in the core.

Tim Peters c9d78aa470 Years in the making.
objimpl.h, pymem.h:  Stop mapping PyMem_{Del, DEL} and PyMem_{Free, FREE}
to PyObject_{Free, FREE} in a release build.  They're aliases for the
system free() now.

_subprocess.c/sp_handle_dealloc():  Since the memory was originally
obtained via PyObject_NEW, it must be released via PyObject_FREE (or
_DEL).

pythonrun.c, tokenizer.c, parsermodule.c:  I lost count of the number of
PyObject vs PyMem mismatches in these -- it's like the specific
function called at each site was picked at random, sometimes even with
memory obtained via PyMem getting released via PyObject.  Changed most
to use PyObject uniformly, since the blobs allocated are predictably
small in most cases, and obmalloc is generally faster than system
mallocs then.

If extension modules in real life prove as sloppy as Python's front
end, we'll have to revert the objimpl.h + pymem.h part of this patch.
Note that no problems will show up in a debug build (all calls still go
thru obmalloc then). Problems will show up only in a release build, most
likely segfaults.

Martin v. Löwis 056a69cba6 Reconst parameters that lost their const in the AST merge. 2006-03-01 16:55:42 +00:00
Brett Cannon bf36409e2a PEP 352 implementation. Creates a new base class, BaseException, which has an
added message attribute compared to the previous version of Exception.  It is
also a new-style class, making all exceptions now new-style.  KeyboardInterrupt
and SystemExit inherit from BaseException directly.  String exceptions now
raise DeprecationWarning.

Applies patch 1104669, and closes bugs 1012952 and 518846.

Jeremy Hylton 3e0055f8c6 Merge ast-branch to head
This change implements a new bytecode compiler, based on a
transformation of the parse tree to an abstract syntax defined in
Parser/Python.asdl.

The compiler implementation is not complete, but it is in stable
enough shape to run the entire test suite excepting two disabled
tests.

the other changes backported.  I will do the backport if asked.

Raymond Hettinger d794666048 * Improve code for the empty frozenset singleton:
- Handle both frozenset() and frozenset([]).
  - Do not use singleton for frozenset subclasses.
  - Finalize the singleton.
  - Add test cases.
* Factor-out set_update_internal() from set_update().  Simplifies the
  code for several internal callers.
* Factor constant expressions out of loop in set_merge_internal().
* Minor comment touch-ups.

Michael W. Hudson ba283e2b7f This is my patch:
[ 1181301 ] make float packing copy bytes when they can

which hasn't been reviewed, despite numerous threats to check it in
anyway if noone reviews it.  Please read the diff on the checkin list,
at least!

The basic idea is to examine the bytes of some 'probe values' to see if
the current platform is a IEEE 754-ish platform, and if so
_PyFloat_{Pack,Unpack}{4,8} just copy bytes around.

The rest is hair for testing, and tests.

Michael W. Hudson 30ea2f223f This closes patch:
[ 960406 ] unblock signals in threads

although the changes do not correspond exactly to any patch attached to
that report.

Non-main threads no longer have all signals masked.

A different interface to readline is used.

The handling of signals inside calls to PyOS_Readline is now rather
different.

These changes are all a bit scary!  Review and cross-platform testing
much appreciated.

Tim Peters 1d7323e4e7 Py_Finalize(): disabled the second call of cyclic gc, and added extensive

that will be the end of it.

Mark Hammond 5f4e8ca376 Correct previous patch looking for warnings module: sys.modules, not
sys.__modules__.
2003-07-16 01:54:38 +00:00
Mark Hammond edd07737d7 Fix [ 771097 ] frozen programs fail due to implicit import of "warnings".
If the initial import of warnings fails, clear the error.  When the module
is actually needed, if the original import failed, see if it has managed
to find its way to sys.modules yet and if so, remember it.

Mark Hammond 6cb9029a22 PyGILState cleanup was too early - destructors called via module cleanup may use the API. 2003-04-22 11:18:00 +00:00
Tim Peters cf615b5275 handle_system_exit(): This leaked the current exception info, in
particular leaving the traceback object (and everything reachable
from it) alive throughout shutdown.  The patch is mostly from Guido.

Bugfix candidate.
2003-04-19 18:47:02 +00:00
Mark Hammond 8d98d2cb95 New PyGILState_ API - implements pep 311, from patch 684256. 2003-04-19 15:41:53 +00:00
Tim Peters 269b2a6797 _Py_PrintReferences(): Changed to print object address at start of each
new line.

New pvt API function _Py_PrintReferenceAddresses():  Prints only the
addresses and refcnts of the live objects.  This is always safe to call,
because it has no dependence on Python's C API.

Py_Finalize():  If envar PYTHONDUMPREFS is set, call (the new)
_Py_PrintReferenceAddresses() right before dumping final pymalloc stats.
We can't print the reprs of the objects here because too much of the
interpreter has been shut down.  You need to correlate the addresses
displayed here with the object reprs printed by the earlier
PYTHONDUMPREFS call to _Py_PrintReferences().
2003-04-17 19:52:29 +00:00
Guido van Rossum e13ddc9ec8 - New C API PyGC_Collect(), same as calling gc.collect().

Tim Peters d08e3824d4 Trimmed trailing whitespace. 2003-04-17 15:24:21 +00:00
Tim Peters 9cf25ce3a0 Py_Finalize(): Reverted recent changes that tried to move the
PYTHONDUMPREFS output after most teardown.  Attempts to use
PYTHONDUMPREFS with the Zope3 test suite died with Py_FatalError(),
since _Py_PrintReferences() can end up executing arbitrary Python code
(for objects that override __repr__), and that requires an intact
interpreter.
2003-04-17 15:21:01 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 0fc8f00252 - pythunrun.c, Py_Finalize(): move the call to _Py_PrintReferences()
even farther down, to just before the call to
  _PyObject_DebugMallocStats().  This required the following changes:

- pystate.c, PyThreadState_GetDict(): changed not to raise an
  exception or issue a fatal error when no current thread state is
  available, but simply return NULL without raising an exception
  (ever).

- object.c, Py_ReprEnter(): when PyThreadState_GetDict() returns NULL,
  don't raise an exception but return 0.  This means that when
  printing a container that's recursive, printing will go on and on
  and on.  But that shouldn't happen in the case we care about (see
  first bullet).

- Updated Misc/NEWS and Doc/api/init.tex to reflect changes to
  PyThreadState_GetDict() definition.
2003-04-15 15:12:39 +00:00
Guido van Rossum d922fa46ce Move the call to _Py_PrintReferences() a bit further down. This
prevents it from showing stuff (like codec state) that is cleared when
the interpreter state is cleared.
2003-04-15 14:10:09 +00:00
Neal Norwitz 5c16c7b014 Move declaration of enc to scope where it is used 2003-04-10 21:53:14 +00:00
Gustavo Niemeyer 5ddd4c3f77 Fixed SF bug #663074. The codec system was using global static
variables to store internal data. As a result, any atempts to use the
unicode system with multiple active interpreters, or successive
interpreter executions, would fail.

Now that information is stored into members of the PyInterpreterState
structure.

Just van Rossum 5bfba3aeb9 Addendum to #683658:
import warnings.py _after_ site.py has run. This ensures that site.py

sys.path.

Mark Hammond a43fd0c899 Fix bug 683658 - PyErr_Warn may cause import deadlock. 2003-02-19 00:33:33 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 4b499dd3fb - Finally fixed the bug in compile() and exec where a string ending
with an indented code block but no newline would raise SyntaxError.
  This would have been a four-line change in parsetok.c...  Except
  codeop.py depends on this behavior, so a compilation flag had to be
  invented that causes the tokenizer to revert to the old behavior;
  this required extra changes to 2 .h files, 2 .c files, and 2 .py
  files.  (Fixes SF bug #501622.)

Just van Rossum 52e14d640b PEP 302 + zipimport:
- new import hooks in import.c, exposed in the sys module
- new module called 'zipimport'
- various changes to allow bootstrapping from zip files

I hope I didn't break the Windows build (or anything else for that
matter), but then again, it's been sitting on sf long enough...

Regarding the latest discussions on python-dev: zipimport sets
pkg.__path__ as specified in PEP 273, and likewise, sys.path item such as
/path/to/Archive.zip/subdir/ are supported again.

Thomas Heller 6b17abf6c0 Fix SF Bug 564931: compile() traceback must include filename. 2002-07-09 09:23:27 +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.

Jeremy Hylton 1b0bf9b761 Ignore SIGXFSZ.
The SIGXFSZ signal is sent when the maximum file size limit is
exceeded (RLIMIT_FSIZE).  Apparently, it is also sent when the 2GB
file limit is reached on platforms without large file support.

The default action for SIGXFSZ is to terminate the process and dump
core.  When it is ignored, the system call that caused the limit to be
exceeded returns an error and sets errno to EFBIG.  Python
always checks errno on I/O syscalls, so there is nothing to do with
the signal.

Tim Peters 0e871188e8 _PyObject_DebugDumpStats: renamed to _PyObject_DebugMallocStats.

Tim Peters 3caca2326e SF bug #488514: -Qnew needs work
Big Hammer to implement -Qnew as PEP 238 says it should work (a global
option affecting all instances of "/").

pydebug.h, main.c, pythonrun.c:  define a private _Py_QnewFlag flag, true
iff -Qnew is passed on the command line.  This should go away (as the
comments say) when true division becomes The Rule.  This is
deliberately not exposed to runtime inspection or modification:  it's
a one-way one-shot switch to pretend you're using Python 3.

ceval.c:  when _Py_QnewFlag is set, treat BINARY_DIVIDE as
BINARY_TRUE_DIVIDE.

test_{descr, generators, zipfile}.py:  fiddle so these pass under
-Qnew too.  This was just a matter of s!/!//! in test_generators and
test_zipfile.  test_descr was trickier, as testbinop() is passed
assumptions that "/" is the same as calling a "__div__" method; put
a temporary hack there to call "__truediv__" instead when the method
name is "__div__" and 1/2 evaluates to 0.5.

Three standard tests still fail under -Qnew (on Windows; somebody
please try the Linux tests with -Qnew too!  Linux runs a whole bunch
of tests Windows doesn't):
    test_augassign
    test_class
    test_coercion
I can't stay awake longer to stare at this (be my guest).  Offhand
cures weren't obvious, nor was it even obvious that cures are possible
without major hackery.

Question:  when -Qnew is in effect, should calls to __div__ magically
change into calls to __truediv__?  See "major hackery" at tail end of
last paragraph <wink>.

Jeremy Hylton 518ab1c02a Use PyOS_snprintf instead of sprintf. 2001-11-28 20:42:20 +00:00
Barry Warsaw afeb2a4d89 PyOS_getsig(), PyOS_setsig(): The minimal amount of work to avoid the
uninitialized memory reads reported in bug #478001.

Note that this doesn't address the following larger issues:

- Error conditions are not documented for PyOS_*sig() in the C API.

- Nothing that actually calls PyOS_*sig() in the core interpreter and
  extension modules actually /checks/ the return value of the call.

Fixing those is left as an exercise for a later day.

Guido van Rossum 9abaf4d3b7 SF patch #467455 : Enhanced environment variables, by Toby Dickenson.
This patch changes to logic to:

   if env.var. set and non-empty:
       if env.var. is an integer:
           set flag to that integer
   if flag is zero: # [actually, <= 0 --GvR]
       set flag to 1

   Under this patch, anyone currently using
   PYTHONVERBOSE=yes will get the same output as before.

   PYTHONVERBNOSE=2 will generate more verbosity than
   before.

   The only unusual case that the following three are
   still all equivalent:
   PYTHONVERBOSE=yespleas
   PYTHONVERBOSE=1
   PYTHONVERBOSE=0

Guido van Rossum 393661d15f Add warning mode for classic division, almost exactly as specified in
PEP 238.  Changes:

- add a new flag variable Py_DivisionWarningFlag, declared in
  pydebug.h, defined in object.c, set in main.c, and used in
  {int,long,float,complex}object.c.  When this flag is set, the
  classic division operator issues a DeprecationWarning message.

- add a new API PyRun_SimpleStringFlags() to match
  PyRun_SimpleString().  The main() function calls this so that
  commands run with -c can also benefit from -Dnew.

- While I was at it, I changed the usage message in main() somewhat:
  alphabetized the options, split it in *four* parts to fit in under
  512 bytes (not that I still believe this is necessary -- doc strings
  elsewhere are much longer), and perhaps most visibly, don't display
  the full list of options on each command line error.  Instead, the
  full list is only displayed when -h is used, and otherwise a brief
  reminder of -h is displayed.  When -h is used, write to stdout so
  that you can do `python -h | more'.

Notes:

- I don't want to use the -W option to control whether the classic
  division warning is issued or not, because the machinery to decide
  whether to display the warning or not is very expensive (it involves
  calling into the warnings.py module).  You can use -Werror to turn
  the warnings into exceptions though.

- The -Dnew option doesn't select future division for all of the
  program -- only for the __main__ module.  I don't know if I'll ever
  change this -- it would require changes to the .pyc file magic
  number to do it right, and a more global notion of compiler flags.

- You can usefully combine -Dwarn and -Dnew: this gives the __main__
  module new division, and warns about classic division everywhere
  else.

Martin v. Löwis 339d0f720e Patch #445762: Support --disable-unicode
- Do not compile unicodeobject, unicodectype, and unicodedata if Unicode is disabled
- check for Py_USING_UNICODE in all places that use Unicode functions
- disables unicode literals, and the builtin functions
- add the types.StringTypes list
- remove Unicode literals from most tests.

Guido van Rossum f6309e8ecf Oops. Two fixes for SF bug #422004 are not needed. :-) 2001-08-16 08:24:00 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 70d893a6aa Bunchathings:
- initsigs(): Ignore SIGXFZ so writing files beyond the file system
  size limit won't kill us.

- Py_Initialize(): call _Py_ReadyTypes() instead of readying types
  here.

- Py_Initialize(): call _PyImport_FixupExtension() for module
  "extensions".  (SF bug #422004.)
2001-08-16 08:21:42 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 5821bc5145 Py_Initialize(): Apply patch by Jürgen Hermann to call
_PyImport_FixupExtension() on the exceptions module.  Now
    reload(exceptions) acts just like reload(sys) instead of raising
    an ImportError.

    This closes SF bug #422004.

Jeremy Hylton b857ba261f Refactor future feature handling
Replace uses of PyCF_xxx with CO_xxx.

Replace individual feature slots in PyFutureFeatures with single
bitmask ff_features.

When flags must be transfered among the three parts of the interpreter
that care about them -- the pythonrun layer, the compiler, and the
future feature parser -- can simply or (|) the definitions.

Guido van Rossum 92e2d5c7ae Apply SF patch #424554: check for PYTHONDUMPREFS to be set instead of
asking to print the references.
2001-08-09 16:37:16 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 528b7eb0b0 - Rename PyType_InitDict() to PyType_Ready().
- Add an explicit call to PyType_Ready(&PyList_Type) to pythonrun.c
  (just for the heck of it, really -- we should either explicitly
  ready all types, or none).
