* Formatting string, int, float and complex use the _PyUnicodeWriter API. It
avoids a temporary buffer in most cases.
* Add _PyUnicodeWriter_WriteStr() to restore the PyAccu optimization: just
keep a reference to the string if the output is only composed of one string
* Disable overallocation when formatting the last argument of str%args and
str.format(args)
* Overallocation allocates at least 100 characters: add min_length attribute
to the _PyUnicodeWriter structure
* Add new private functions: _PyUnicode_FastCopyCharacters(),
_PyUnicode_FastFill() and _PyUnicode_FromASCII()
The speed up is around 20% in average.
* Decode thousands separator and decimal point using PyUnicode_DecodeLocale()
(from the locale encoding), instead of decoding them implicitly from latin1
* Remove _PyUnicode_InsertThousandsGroupingLocale(), it was not used
* Change _PyUnicode_InsertThousandsGrouping() API to return the maximum
character if unicode is NULL
* Replace MIN/MAX macros by Py_MIN/Py_MAX
* stringlib/undef.h undefines STRINGLIB_IS_UNICODE
* stringlib/localeutil.h only supports Unicode
* Create copy_characters() function which doesn't check for the maximum
character in release mode
* _PyUnicode_CheckConsistency() is no more static to be able to use it
in _PyUnicode_FormatAdvanced() (in formatter_unicode.c)
* _PyUnicode_CheckConsistency() checks the string hash
ucs1, ucs2 and ucs4 libraries have to scan created substring to find the
maximum character, whereas it is not need to ASCII strings. Because ASCII
strings are common, it is useful to optimize ASCII.
Known issues:
The string.Formatter class, as discussed in the PEP, is incomplete.
Error handling needs to conform to the PEP.
Need to fix this warning that I introduced in Python/formatter_unicode.c:
Objects/stringlib/unicodedefs.h:26: warning: `STRINGLIB_CMP' defined but not used
Need to make sure sign formatting is correct, more tests needed.
Need to remove '()' sign formatting, left over from an earlier version of the PEP.
