The symbol table pass didn't have an explicit case for the list_iter
node which is used only for a nested list comprehension. As a result,
the target of the list comprehension was treated as a use instead of
an assignment. Fix is to add a case to symtable_node() to handle
list_iter.
Also, rework and document a couple of the subtler implementation
issues in the symbol table pass. The symtable_node() switch statement
depends on falling through the last several cases, in order to handle
some of the more complicated nodes like atom. Add a comment
explaining the behavior before the first fall through case. Add a
comment /* fall through */ at the end of case so that it is explicitly
marked as such.
Move the for_stmt case out of the fall through logic, which simplifies
both for_stmt and default. (The default used the local variable start
to skip the first three nodes of a for_stmt when it fell through.)
Rename the flag argument to symtable_assign() to def_flag and add a
comment explaining its use:
The third argument to symatble_assign() is a flag to be passed to
symtable_add_def() if it is eventually called. The flag is useful
to specify the particular type of assignment that should be
recorded, e.g. an assignment caused by import.
isinstance() now allows any object as the first argument and a class, a
type or something with a __bases__ tuple attribute for the second
argument. This closes SF patch #464992.
Quoth the OpenSSL RAND_add man page:
OpenSSL makes sure that the PRNG state is unique for each
thread. On systems that provide /dev/urandom, the
randomness device is used to seed the PRNG transparently.
However, on all other systems, the application is
responsible for seeding the PRNG by calling RAND_add(),
RAND_egd(3) or RAND_load_file(3).
I decided to expose RAND_add() because it's general and RAND_egd()
because it's a useful special case. RAND_load_file() didn't seem to
offer much over RAND_add(), so I skipped it. Also supplied
RAND_status() which returns true if the PRNG is seeded and false if
not.
test_no_semis_header_splitter(): This actually should still split.
test_no_split_long_header(): An example of an unsplittable line.
test_no_semis_header_splitter(): Test for SF bug # 471918, Generator
splitting long headers.
_split_header(): Split on folding whitespace if the attempt to split
on semi-colons failed.
_split_header(): Patch by Matthew Cowles for fixing SF bug # 471918,
Generator splitting long headers.
There are now no known cases where the compiler package computes a
stack depth lower than the one computed by the builtin compiler. (To
achieve this state, we had to fix bugs in both compilers :-).
The chief change is to do the depth calculations with respect to basic
blocks. The stack effect of block is calculated. Then the flow graph
is traversed using breadth-first search to find the max weight path
through the graph.
Had to fix the StackDepthTracker to calculate the right info for
several opcodes: LOAD_ATTR, CALL_FUNCTION (and friends), MAKE_CLOSURE,
and DUP_TOPX.
XXX Still need to handle free variables in MAKE_CLOSURE.
XXX There are still a lot of places where the computed stack depth is
larger than for the builtin compiler. These won't cause the
interpreter to overflow the frame, but they waste space.
Also minor tweaks to internal routines.
Use PyCF_MASK instead of explicit list of flags.
For the MAKE_CLOSURE opcode, the number of items popped off the stack
depends on both the oparg and the number of free variables for the
code object. Fix the code so it accounts for the free variables.
In com_classdef(), record an extra pop to account for the STORE call
after the BUILD_CLASS.
Get rid of some commented out debugging code in com_push() and
com_pop().
Factor string resize logic into helper routine com_check_size().
In com_addbyte(), remove redudant if statement after assert. (They
test the same condition.)
In several routines, use string macros instead of string functions.
Apparently this patch (rev 2.41) replaced all the good old "s#"
formats in PyArg_ParseTuple() with "S". Then it did
PyString_FromStringAndSize() to get back the values setup by the
"s#" format. It also incref'd and decref'd the string obtained by
"S" even though the argument tuple had a reference to it.
Replace PyString_AsString() calls with PyString_AS_STRING().
A good rule of thumb -- if you never check the return value of
PyString_AsString() to see if it's NULL, you ought to be using the
macro <wink>.
Many functions used a local variable called return_error, which was
initialized to zero. If an error occurred, it was set to true. Most
of the code paths checked were only executed if return_error was
false. goto is clearer.
The code also seemed to be written under the curious assumption that
calling Py_DECREF() on a local variable would assign the variable to
NULL. As a result, more of the error-exit code paths returned an
object that had a reference count of zero instead of just returning
NULL. Fixed the code to explicitly assign NULL after the DECREF.
A bit more reformatting, but not much.
XXX Need a much better test suite for zlib, since it the current tests
don't exercise any of this broken code.
This changes Pythread_start_thread() to return the thread ID, or -1
for an error. (It's technically an incompatible API change, but I
doubt anyone calls it.)
