Guido van Rossum 298e421453 SF patch #685738 by Michael Stone.
This changes the default __new__ to refuse arguments iff tp_init is the
default __init__ implementation -- thus making it a TypeError when you
try to pass arguments to a constructor if the class doesn't override at
least __init__ or __new__.

Guido van Rossum a89d10edc9 Implement another useful feature for proxies: in super(X, x), x may
now be a proxy for an X instance, as long as issubclass(x.__class__, X).
2003-02-12 03:58:38 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 03bc7d3c4d SF #532767: isinstance(x, X) should work when x is a proxy for an X
instance, as long as x.__class__ is X or a subclass thereof.
Did a little cleanup of PyObject_IsInstance() too.

Guido van Rossum b6e5a0c658 Put proper tests in classmethod_get(). Remove the type argument to
descr_check(); it wasn't useful.  Change the type argument of the
various _get() methods to PyObject * because the call signature of
tp_descr_get doesn't guarantee its type.
2003-02-11 18:44:42 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 3f50cdc05e Get rid of the "bozo" __getstate__ that was inserted when __slots__
was used.  This simplifies some logic in copy_reg.py (used by
pickling).  It also broke a test, but this was rewritten to test the
new feature. :-)

Neal Norwitz de8b94c3e1 Fix SF bug #683467, 'int' ability to generate longs not inherited

Guido van Rossum 373c7412f2 Fix for SF bug #642358: only provide a new with a __dict__ or
__weaklist__ descriptor if we added __dict__ or __weaklist__,
respectively.  With unit test.
2003-01-07 13:41:37 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 613f24fd73 Add a test for a feature added in rev. 2.82 of typeobject.c:
- SLOT1BINFULL() macro: changed this to check for __rop__ overriding
  __op__, like binary_op1() in abstract.c -- the latter only calls the
  slot function once if both types use the same slot function, so the
  slot function must make both calls -- which it already did for the
  __op__, __rop__ order, but not yet for the __rop__, __op__ order
  when B.__class__ is a subclass of A.__class__.

Also test the refinement added in rev. 2.201 that fixes the problem
reported in SF bug #623669.

Also test a similar provision in abstract.c's binary_op1().
2003-01-06 23:00:59 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 2720b0dff8 Add some print statements in verbose mode to announce that the newest

Tim Peters bca1cbc6f8 SF 548651: Fix the METH_CLASS implementation.
Most of these patches are from Thomas Heller, with long lines folded
by Tim.  The change to test_descr.py is from Guido.  See the bug report.

Not a bugfix candidate -- METH_CLASS is new in 2.3.

Michael W. Hudson ade8c8b2c3 Nudge getting __module__ and __name__ for new-style classes so that
the results of *setting* __name__ are not so surprising.

If people can suggest more tests, that'd be grand, or is what's there
sufficient?
2002-11-27 16:29:26 +00:00
Michael W. Hudson 7e7c00db0c I don't know why staring at the email to python-checkins made me
see problems with my code that I didn't see before the checkin, but:

When a subtype .mro() fails, we need to reset the type whose __bases__
are being changed, too.  Fix + test.
2002-11-27 15:40:09 +00:00
Michael W. Hudson 586da8fddd Readjustments to the way we cope with exceptions from subclasses'
mro() methods.  Now any exception aborts the whole __bases__ change.

And more tests.

Michael W. Hudson caf17be1b7 I had the inheritance cycle stuff backwards. Oops! 2002-11-27 10:24:44 +00:00
Guido van Rossum a01fa26396 The MRO conflict error message depends on dictionary hash order.
Avoid depending on this in the test.

Michael W. Hudson 98bbc49c54 This is my patch:
[ 635933 ] make some type attrs writable

Plus a couple of extra tests beyond what's up there.

It hasn't been as carefully reviewed as it perhaps should, so all readers
are encouraged, nay exhorted, to give this a close reading.

There are still a couple of oddities related to assigning to __name__,
but I intend to solicit python-dev's opinions on these.
2002-11-26 14:47:27 +00:00
Guido van Rossum d32047f038 A tweaked version of Jeremy's patch #642489, to produce better error

2002-10-18 16:33:13 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 6e5680fc83 For some reason (probably cut and paste), __ipow__ for new-style
classes was called with three arguments.  This makes no sense, there's
no way to pass in the "modulo" 3rd argument as for __pow__, and
classic classes don't do this.  [SF bug 620179]

I don't want to backport this to 2.2.2, because it could break
existing code that has developed a work-around.  Code in 2.2.2 that
wants to use __ipow__ and wants to be forward compatible with 2.3
should be written like this:

  def __ipow__(self, exponent, modulo=None):
      ...

Guido van Rossum 0dbab4c560 SF patch 588728 (Nathan Srebro).

Barry Warsaw 04f357cffe Get rid of relative imports in all unittests. Now anything that
imports e.g. test_support must do so using an absolute package name
such as "import test.test_support" or "from test import test_support".

This also updates the README in Lib/test, and gets rid of the
duplicate data dirctory in Lib/test/data (replaced by
Lib/email/test/data).

Now Tim and Jack can have at it. :)

Tim Peters 2484aaea15 Added a test that provokes the hypothesized (in my last checkin comment)
debug-build failure when an instance of a new-style class is resurrected
by a __del__ method -- we simply never had any code that tried this.

This is already fixed in 2.3 CVS.  In 2.2.1, it blows up via

    Fatal Python error: GC object already in linked list

I'll fix it in 2.2.1 CVS next.

Guido van Rossum a96b0df624 Patch from SF bug 570483 (Tim Northover).
In a fresh interpreter, type.mro(tuple) would segfault, because
PyType_Ready() isn't called for tuple yet.  To fix, call
PyType_Ready(type) if type->tp_dict is NULL.

Guido van Rossum e7f3e24eeb Test for the bug in recurse_down_subclasses() that I just fixed. 2002-06-14 02:35:45 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 09638c16d8 Hopefully this addresses the remaining issues of SF bugs 459235 and
473985.  Through a subtle rearrangement of some members in the etype
struct (!), mapping methods are now preferred over sequence methods,
which is necessary to support str.__getitem__("hello", slice(4)) etc.

Guido van Rossum a48cb8f77d Fix from SF patch 565085: copy._reduction doesn't __setstate__.
Straightforward fix.  Will backport to 2.2.  If there's ever a new 2.1
release, this could be backported there too (since it's an issue with
anything that's got both a __reduce__ and a __setstate__).
2002-06-06 17:53:03 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 9923ffe2c0 Address SF bug 519621: slots weren't traversed by GC.
While I was at it, I added a tp_clear handler and changed the
tp_dealloc handler to use the clear_slots helper for the tp_clear
handler.

Also tightened the rules for slot names: they must now be proper
identifiers (ignoring the dirty little fact that <ctype.h> is locale
sensitive).

Also set mp->flags = READONLY for the __weakref__ pseudo-slot.

Most of this is a 2.2 bugfix candidate; I'll apply it there myself.

Guido van Rossum 9fc8a29663 Fix for SF bug 551412. When _PyType_Lookup() is called on a type
whose tp_mro hasn't been initialized, it would dump core.  Fix this by
checking for NULL and calling PyType_Ready().  Will fix this in 2.2.1
too.
2002-05-24 21:40:08 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 4402241450 Jim Fulton reported a segfault in dir(). A heavily proxied object
returned a proxy for __class__ whose __bases__ was also a proxy.  The
merge_class_dict() helper for dir() assumed incorrectly that __bases__
would always be a tuple and used the in-line tuple API on the proxy.

I will backport this to 2.2 as well.

Tim Peters afb2c80b29 ceval.c/do_raise(): Tighten the test to disallow raising an instance of

2002-04-18 18:06:20 +00:00
Guido van Rossum d99b3e78dd SF bug 542984.
Change type_get_doc (the get function for __doc__) to look in tp_dict
more often, and if it finds a descriptor in tp_dict, to call it (with
a NULL instance).  This means you can add a __doc__ descriptor to a
new-style class that returns instance docs when called on an instance,
and class docs when called on a class -- or the same docs in either
case, but lazily computed.

I'll also check this into the 2.2 maintenance branch.

Guido van Rossum e8fc640349 SF bug 544647.
PyNumber_InPlaceMultiply insisted on calling sq_inplace_repeat if it

weren't right for sq_inplace_repeat.  Change this to only use
sq_inplace_repeat if nb_inplace_multiply isn't defined.

Guido van Rossum 8ace1ab53a - Changed new-style class instantiation so that when C's __new__
method returns something that's not a C instance, its __init__ is
  not called.  [SF bug #537450]
2002-04-06 01:05:01 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 77f6a65eb0 Add the 'bool' type and its values 'False' and 'True', as described in
PEP 285.  Everything described in the PEP is here, and there is even
some documentation.  I had to fix 12 unit tests; all but one of these
were printing Boolean outcomes that changed from 0/1 to False/True.
(The exception is test_unicode.py, which did a type(x) == type(y)
style comparison.  I could've fixed that with a single line using
issubtype(x, type(y)), but instead chose to be explicit about those
places where a bool is expected.

Still to do: perhaps more documentation; change standard library
modules to return False/True from predicates.

Guido van Rossum 7e30548285 Fix for SF bug 528132 (Armin Rigo): classmethod().__get__() segfault
The proper fix is not quite what was submitted; it's really better to
take the class of the object passed rather than calling PyMethod_New
with NULL pointer args, because that can then cause other core dumps
later.

I also added a testcase for the fix to classmethods() in test_descr.py.

I've already applied this to the 2.2 branch.
2002-03-18 03:09:06 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 8c84255316 "Fix" for SF bug #520644: __slots__ are not pickled.
As promised in my response to the bug report, I'm not really fixing
it; in fact, one could argule over what the proper fix should do.
Instead, I'm adding a little magic that raises TypeError if you try to
pickle an instance of a class that has __slots__ but doesn't define or
override __getstate__.  This is done by adding a bozo __getstate__
that always raises TypeError.

Bugfix candidate (also the checkin to typeobject.c, of course).

Guido van Rossum 2eb0b87d14 SF patch 514641 (Naofumi Honda) - Negative ob_size of LongObjects
Due to the bizarre definition of _PyLong_Copy(), creating an instance
of a subclass of long with a negative value could cause core dumps
later on.  Unfortunately it looks like the behavior of _PyLong_Copy()
is quite intentional, so the fix is more work than feels comfortable.

This fix is almost, but not quite, the code that Naofumi Honda added;
in addition, I added a test case.

Guido van Rossum e54616cb6f (Merge into trunk.)
Fix for SF bug #492345.  (I could've sworn I checked this in, but
apparently I didn't!)

This code:

    class Classic:
        pass

    class New(Classic):
        __metaclass__ = type

attempts to create a new-style class with only classic bases -- but it
doesn't work right.  Attempts to fix it so it works caused problems
elsewhere, so I'm now raising a TypeError in this case.

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>.

Guido van Rossum 33bab01da6 Fix SF bug #489581: __slots__ leak.
It was easier than I thought, assuming that no other things contribute
to the instance size besides slots -- a pretty good bet.  With a test
suite, no less!

Guido van Rossum d331cb5502 At the PythonLabs meeting someone mentioned it would make Jim really
happy if one could delete the __dict__ attribute of an instance.  I
love to make Jim happy, so here goes...

- New-style objects now support deleting their __dict__.  This is for
  all intents and purposes equivalent to assigning a brand new empty
  dictionary, but saves space if the object is not used further.

Guido van Rossum 6b70599450 Fix SF bug #486144: Uninitialized __slot__ vrbl is None.
There's now a new structmember code, T_OBJECT_EX, which is used for
all __slot__ variables (except __weakref__, which has special behavior
anyway).  This new code raises AttributeError when the variable is
NULL rather than converting NULL to None.

Guido van Rossum dbb53d9918 Fix of SF bug #475877 (Mutable subtype instances are hashable).
Rather than tweaking the inheritance of type object slots (which turns
out to be too messy to try), this fix adds a __hash__ to the list and
dict types (the only mutable types I'm aware of) that explicitly
raises an error.  This has the advantage that list.__hash__([]) also
raises an error (previously, this would invoke object.__hash__([]),
returning the argument's address); ditto for dict.__hash__.

The disadvantage for this fix is that 3rd party mutable types aren't
automatically fixed.  This should be added to the rules for creating
subclassable extension types: if you don't want your object to be
hashable, add a tp_hash function that raises an exception.

Also, it's possible that I've forgotten about other mutable types for
which this should be done.

Guido van Rossum 5b443c6282 Address SF patch #480716 as well as related issues.
SF patch #480716 by Greg Chapman fixes the problem that super's
__get__ method always returns an instance of super, even when the
instance whose __get__ method is called is an instance of a subclass
of super.

Other issues fixed:

- super(C, C()).__class__ would return the __class__ attribute of C()
  rather than the __class__ attribute of the super object.  This is
  confusing.  To fix this, I decided to change the semantics of super
  so that it only applies to code attributes, not to data attributes.
  After all, overriding data attributes is not supported anyway.

- While super(C, x) carefully checked that x is an instance of C,
  super(C).__get__(x) made no such check, allowing for a loophole.
  This is now fixed.

Guido van Rossum 90c45142d7 - Change all remaining assertions into verify() and vereq() calls.
- Add tests for the recent fixes to copy_reg.py:
  __getstate__/__setstate__ and mixed inheritance from new+classic
  classes.

Tim Peters 144b98dab8 More simple test cases for mixed classic+new multiple inheritance. 2001-11-14 23:56:45 +00:00
Tim Peters a91e9646e0 Changing diapers reminded Guido that he wanted to allow for some measure
of multiple inheritance from a mix of new- and classic-style classes.
This is his patch, plus a start at some test cases from me.  Will check
in more, plus a NEWS blurb, later tonight.

Tim Peters c2fe618575 Fix bad bug in structseq slicing (NULL pointers in result). Reported by
Jack Jansen on python-dev.
Add simple test case.
Move vereq() from test_descr to test_support (it's handy!).

Tim Peters 9fda73cdd1 dict_constructor(): The last test was passing for the wrong reason (it
was intended to verify that sub-sequences of lengths 1 and 3 raise
ValueError, but was actually testing string lengths).

Tim Peters 1fc240e851 Generalize dictionary() to accept a sequence of 2-sequences. At the
outer level, the iterator protocol is used for memory-efficiency (the
outer sequence may be very large if fully materialized); at the inner
level, PySequence_Fast() is used for time-efficiency (these should
always be sequences of length 2).

dictobject.c, new functions PyDict_{Merge,Update}FromSeq2.  These are
wholly analogous to PyDict_{Merge,Update}, but process a sequence-of-2-
sequences argument instead of a mapping object.  For now, I left these
functions file static, so no corresponding doc changes.  It's tempting
to change dict.update() to allow a sequence-of-2-seqs argument too.

Also changed the name of dictionary's keyword argument from "mapping"
to "x".  Got a better name?  "mapping_or_sequence_of_pairs" isn't
attractive, although more so than "mosop" <wink>.

abstract.h, abstract.tex:  Added new PySequence_Fast_GET_SIZE function,
much faster than going thru the all-purpose PySequence_Size.

libfuncs.tex:
- Document dictionary().
- Fiddle tuple() and list() to admit that their argument is optional.
- The long-winded repetitions of "a sequence, a container that supports
  iteration, or an iterator object" is getting to be a PITA.  Many
  months ago I suggested factoring this out into "iterable object",
  where the definition of that could include being explicit about
  generators too (as is, I'm not sure a reader outside of PythonLabs
  could guess that "an iterator object" includes a generator call).
- Please check my curly braces -- I'm going blind <0.9 wink>.

abstract.c, PySequence_Tuple():  When PyObject_GetIter() fails, leave
its error msg alone now (the msg it produces has improved since
PySequence_Tuple was generalized to accept iterable objects, and
PySequence_Tuple was also stomping on the msg in cases it shouldn't
have even before PyObject_GetIter grew a better msg).
