- simplify parsing and printing of complex numbers
- make complex(repr(z)) round-tripping work for complex
numbers involving nans, infs, or negative zeros
- don't accept some of the stranger complex strings
that were previously allowed---e.g., complex('1..1j')
The patch also adds acosh, asinh, atanh, log1p and copysign to all platforms. Finally it fixes differences between platforms like different results or exceptions for edge cases. Have fun :)

__float__() method. Therefore, the functions in the cmath module now
can operate on objects that define a __complex__() method.

The real change is to pass (bufsz - 1) to PyOS_ascii_formatd and 1
to strncat. strncat copies n+1 bytes from src (not dest).
Reported by Klocwork #58.
In C++, it's an error to pass a string literal to a char* function
without a const_cast(). Rather than require every C++ extension
module to put a cast around string literals, fix the API to state the
const-ness.
I focused on parts of the API where people usually pass literals:
PyArg_ParseTuple() and friends, Py_BuildValue(), PyMethodDef, the type
slots, etc. Predictably, there were a large set of functions that
needed to be fixed as a result of these changes. The most pervasive
change was to make the keyword args list passed to
PyArg_ParseTupleAndKewords() to be a const char *kwlist[].
One cast was required as a result of the changes: A type object
mallocs the memory for its tp_doc slot and later frees it.
PyTypeObject says that tp_doc is const char *; but if the type was
created by type_new(), we know it is safe to cast to char *.
number. This accounts for the 2 refcount leaks per test_complex run
Michael Hudson discovered (I figured only I would have the stomach to
look for leaks in floating-point code <wink>).
constructor, when passed a single complex argument, returns the
argument unchanged. This should be done only for the complex base
class; a complex subclass should of course cast the value to the
subclass in this case.
The fix also revealed a segfault in complex_getnewargs(): the argument
for the Py_BuildValue() format code "D" is the *address* of a
Py_complex struct, not the value. (This corroborated by the API
documentation.)
I expect this needs to be backported to 2.2.3.
types. The special handling for these can now be removed from save_newobj().
Add some testing for this.
Also add support for setting the 'fast' flag on the Python Pickler class,
which suppresses use of the memo.
comments everywhere that bugged me: /* Foo is inlined */ instead of
/* Inline Foo */. Somehow the "is inlined" phrase always confused me
for half a second (thinking, "No it isn't" until I added the missing
"here"). The new phrase is hopefully unambiguous.
Complex numbers implement divmod() and //, neither of which makes one
lick of sense. Unfortunately this is documented, so I'm adding a
deprecation warning now, so we can delete this silliness, oh, around
2005 or so.
