Jeremy Hylton af68c874a6 Add const to several API functions that take char *.
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 *.

Guido van Rossum 630db60a55 - On 64-bit platforms, when __len__() returns a value that cannot be
represented as a C int, raise OverflowError.

(Forward port from 2.4.2; the patch to classobject.c was already in
but needed a correction in the error message text.)
2005-09-20 18:49:54 +00:00
Guido van Rossum ba3e6ec0c9 A minor fix for 64-bit platforms: when __len__() returns Python int
containing a value that doesn't fit in a C int, raise OverflowError
rather than truncating silently (and having 50% chance of hitting the
"it should be >= 0" error).

[ 1165306 ] Property access with decorator makes interpreter crash

Don't allow the creation of unbound methods with NULL im_class, because
attempting to call such crashes.

Tim Peters f4aca755bc A static swapped_op[] array was defined in 3 different C files, & I think
I need to define it again.  Bite the bullet and define it once as an
extern, _Py_SwappedOp[].

Michael W. Hudson 3f3b66823f Repair the same thinko in two places about handling of _Py_RefTotal in
the case of __del__ resurrecting an object.
This makes the apparent reference leaks in test_descr go away (which I
expected) and also kills off those in test_gc (which is more surprising
but less so once you actually think about it a bit).

Guido van Rossum baf0f8f24d - When method objects have an attribute that can be satisfied either
by the function object or by the method object, the function
  object's attribute usually wins.  Christian Tismer pointed out that
  that this is really a mistake, because this only happens for special
  methods (like __reduce__) where the method object's version is
  really more appropriate than the function's attribute.  So from now
  on, all method attributes will have precedence over function
  attributes with the same name.

Raymond Hettinger ea3fdf44a2 SF patch #659536: Use PyArg_UnpackTuple where possible.

function which is driven by a format string.

Walter Dörwald 7e5c6a02eb Change issubclass() so that recursive tuples (directly or indirectly
containing class objects) are allowed as the second argument.
This makes issubclass() more similar to isinstance() where recursive
tuples are allowed too.
2002-12-12 19:14:08 +00:00
Walter Dörwald d9a6ad3beb Enhance issubclass() and PyObject_IsSubclass() so that a tuple is
supported as the second argument. This has the same meaning as
for isinstance(), i.e. issubclass(X, (A, B)) is equivalent
to issubclass(X, A) or issubclass(X, B). Compared to isinstance(),
this patch does not search the tuple recursively for classes, i.e.
any entry in the tuple that is not a class, will result in a
TypeError.

This closes SF patch #649608.

Guido van Rossum 45ec02aed1 SF patch 576101, by Oren Tirosh: alternative implementation of
interning.  I modified Oren's patch significantly, but the basic idea
and most of the implementation is unchanged.  Interned strings created
with PyString_InternInPlace() are now mortal, and you must keep a
reference to the resulting string around; use the new function
PyString_InternImmortal() to create immortal interned strings.

Tim Peters 3459251d5a object.h special-build macro minefield: renamed all the new lexical
helper macros to something saner, and used them appropriately in other
files too, to reduce #ifdef blocks.

classobject.c, instance_dealloc():  One of my worst Python Memories is
trying to fix this routine a few years ago when COUNT_ALLOCS was defined
but Py_TRACE_REFS wasn't.  The special-build code here is way too
complicated.  Now it's much simpler.  Difference:  in a Py_TRACE_REFS
build, the instance is no longer in the doubly-linked list of live
objects while its __del__ method is executing, and that may be visible
via sys.getobjects() called from a __del__ method.  Tough -- the object
is presumed dead while its __del__ is executing anyway, and not calling
_Py_NewReference() at the start allows enormous code simplification.

typeobject.c, call_finalizer():  The special-build instance_dealloc()
pain apparently spread to here too via cut-'n-paste, and this is much
simpler now too.  In addition, I didn't understand why this routine
was calling _PyObject_GC_TRACK() after a resurrection, since there's no
plausible way _PyObject_GC_UNTRACK() could have been called on the
object by this point.  I suspect it was left over from pasting the
instance_delloc() code.  Instead asserted that the object is still
tracked.  Caution:  I suspect we don't have a test that actually
exercises the subtype_dealloc() __del__-resurrected-me code.

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]

Guido van Rossum e7b8ecf196 Major cleanup operation: whenever there's a call that looks for an
optional attribute, only clear the exception when the internal getattr
operation raised AttributeError.  Many places in this file already had
that policy; but just as many didn't, and there didn't seem to be any
rhyme or reason to it.  Be consistently cautious.

Question: should I backport this?  On the one hand it's a bugfix.  On
the other hand it's a change in behavior.  Certain forms of buggy or
just weird code would work in the past but raise an exception under
the new rules; e.g. if you define a __getattr__ method that raises a
non-AttributeError exception.
2002-06-13 21:42:04 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 16b93b3d0e Fix for SF bug 532646. This is a little simpler than what Neal
suggested there, based upon a better analysis (__getattr__ is a red
herring).  Will backport to 2.2.
2002-06-13 21:32:51 +00:00
Fred Drake c916f5a390 Be smarter about clearing the weakref lists for instances, instance methods,
and functions: we only need to call PyObject_ClearWeakRefs() if the weakref
list is non-NULL.  Since these objects are common but weakrefs are still
unusual, saving the call at deallocation time makes a lot of sense.

Guido van Rossum 56ff387a7e Fix for SF bug #472940: can't getattr() attribute shown by dir()
There really isn't a good reason for instance method objects to have
their own __dict__, __doc__ and __name__ properties that just delegate
the request to the function (callable); the default attribute behavior
already does this.

The test suite had to be fixed because the error changes from
TypeError to AttributeError.

Guido van Rossum 32d34c809f Add optional docstrings to getset descriptors. Fortunately, there's
no backwards compatibility to worry about, so I just pushed the
'closure' struct member to the back -- it's never used in the current
code base (I may eliminate it, but that's more work because the getter
and setter signatures would have to change.)

As examples, I added actual docstrings to the getset attributes of a
few types: file.closed, xxsubtype.spamdict.state.
2001-09-20 21:45:26 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 6f7993765a Add optional docstrings to member descriptors. For backwards
compatibility, this required all places where an array of "struct
memberlist" structures was declared that is referenced from a type's
tp_members slot to change the type of the structure to PyMemberDef;
"struct memberlist" is now only used by old code that still calls
PyMember_Get/Set.  The code in PyObject_GenericGetAttr/SetAttr now
calls the new APIs PyMember_GetOne/SetOne, which take a PyMemberDef
argument.

As examples, I added actual docstrings to the attributes of a few
types: file, complex, instance method, super, and xxsubtype.spamlist.

Also converted the symtable to new style getattr.

Martin v. Löwis cf95f9cacb Properly repr classes without module names. 2001-09-18 20:23:28 +00:00
Guido van Rossum f0b35e1501 Redo the PyMethod attributes using a dir()-friendly approach, creating
descriptors for each attribute.  The getattr() implementation is
similar to PyObject_GenericGetAttr(), but delegates to im_self instead
of looking in __dict__; I couldn't do this as a wrapper around
PyObject_GenericGetAttr().

XXX A problem here is that this is a case of *delegation*.  dir()
doesn't see exactly the same attributes that are actually defined;
e.g. if the delegate is a Python function object, it supports
attributes like func_code etc., but these are not visible to dir(); on
the other hand, dynamic function attributes (stored in the function's
__dict__) *are* visible to dir().  Maybe we need a mechanism to tell
dir() about the delegation mechanism?  I vaguely recall seeing a
request in the newsgroup for a more formal definition of attribute
delegation too.  Sigh, time for a new PEP.

Tim Peters 16a77adfbd Generalize operator.indexOf (PySequence_Index) to work with any
iterable object.  I'm not sure how that got overlooked before!

Got rid of the internal _PySequence_IterContains, introduced a new
internal _PySequence_IterSearch, and rewrote all the iteration-based
"count of", "index of", and "is the object in it or not?" routines to
just call the new function.  I suppose it's slower this way, but the
code duplication was getting depressing.
2001-09-08 04:00:12 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 28d80b1058 PyClass_New(): put the extended Don Beaudry hook back in. When one of
the base classes is not a classic class, and its class (the metaclass)
is callable, call the metaclass to do the deed.

One effect of this is that, when mixing classic and new-style classes
amongst the bases of a class, it doesn't matter whether the first base
class is a classic class or not: you will always get the error
"TypeError: metatype conflict among bases".  (Formerly, with a classic
class first, you'd get "TypeError: PyClass_New: base must be a class".)

Another effect is that multiple inheritance from ExtensionClass.Base,
with a classic class as the first class, transfers control to the
ExtensionClass.Base class.  This is what we need for SF #443239 (and
also for running Zope under 2.2a4, before ExtensionClass is replaced).

Guido van Rossum b479dc561c Add PyMethod_Function(), PyMethod_Self(), PyMethod_Class() back.
While not even documented, they were clearly part of the C API,
there's no great difficulty to support them, and it has the cool
effect of not requiring any changes to ExtensionClass.c.

Guido van Rossum 4668b000a1 Implement PEP 238 in its (almost) full glory.
This introduces:

- A new operator // that means floor division (the kind of division
  where 1/2 is 0).

- The "future division" statement ("from __future__ import division)
  which changes the meaning of the / operator to implement "true
  division" (where 1/2 is 0.5).

- New overloadable operators __truediv__ and __floordiv__.

- New slots in the PyNumberMethods struct for true and floor division,
  new abstract APIs for them, new opcodes, and so on.

I emphasize that without the future division statement, the semantics
of / will remain unchanged until Python 3.0.

Not yet implemented are warnings (default off) when / is used with int
or long arguments.

This has been on display since 7/31 as SF patch #443474.

Flames to /dev/null.
