Michael W. Hudson 202a4b6fdd Repair fill-paragraph damage.
Clarify LLTRACE description.  It was introduced in 1992, revision 2.20 of
ceval.c, well before Python 1.0!

Michael W. Hudson a6255238b2 add description of LLTRACE. 2002-07-30 09:49:29 +00:00
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.

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).

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.

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.

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.

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).

Guido van Rossum 63517577fd 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.

Walter Dörwald 3430d70e03 Apply diff2.txt from SF patch http://www.python.org/sf/566999
This patch enhances Python/import.c/find_module() so
that unicode objects found in sys.path will be treated
as legal directory names (The current code ignores
anything that is not a str). The unicode name is
converted to str using Py_FileSystemDefaultEncoding.

Guido van Rossum 9562bcf3bc Add Oren Tirosh and news about his patch. 2002-06-14 21:31:18 +00:00
Guido van Rossum bea18ccde6 SF patch 568629 by Oren Tirosh: types made callable.
These built-in functions are replaced by their (now callable) type:

    slice()
    buffer()

and these types can also be called (but have no built-in named
function named after them)

    classobj (type name used to be "class")
    code
    function
    instance
    instancemethod (type name used to be "instance method")

The module "new" has been replaced with a small backward compatibility
placeholder in Python.

A large portion of the patch simply removes the new module from
various platform-specific build recipes.  The following binary Mac
project files still have references to it:

    Mac/Build/PythonCore.mcp
    Mac/Build/PythonStandSmall.mcp
    Mac/Build/PythonStandalone.mcp

[I've tweaked the code layout and the doc strings here and there, and
added a comment to types.py about StringTypes vs. basestring.  --Guido]

Skip Montanaro 57454e57f8 This introduces stricter library/header file checking for the Berkeley DB
library.  Since multiple versions can be installed simultaneously, it's
crucial that you only select libraries and header files which are compatible
with each other.  Version checking is done from highest version to lowest.
Building using version 1 of Berkeley DB is disabled by default because of
the hash file bugs people keep rediscovering.  It can be enabled by
uncommenting a few lines in setup.py.  Closes patch 553108.

Guido van Rossum c5fe5eb8d2 SF bug 567538: Generator can crash the interpreter (Finn Bock).
This was a simple typo.  Strange that the compiler didn't catch it!
Instead of WHY_CONTINUE, two tests used CONTINUE_LOOP, which isn't a
why_code at all, but an opcode; but even though 'why' is declared as
an enum, comparing it to an int is apparently not even worth a
warning -- not in gcc, and not in VC++. :-(

Will fix in 2.2 too.
