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 *.

Raymond Hettinger 8f5cdaa784 * Added a new method flag, METH_COEXIST.
* Used the flag to optimize set.__contains__(), dict.__contains__(),
  dict.__getitem__(), and list.__getitem__().

Guido van Rossum 6b29c0147b Make __module__ writable except in restricted mode (like for classic classes). 2003-02-18 17:18:35 +00:00
Jeremy Hylton ff71c98449 Make __module__ settable on functions and methods. 2003-02-18 17:02:15 +00:00
Jeremy Hylton 4f0dcc9a9a Provide __module__ attributes for functions defined in C and Python.
__module__ is the string name of the module the function was defined
in, just like __module__ of classes.  In some cases, particularly for
C functions, the __module__ may be None.

Change PyCFunction_New() from a function to a macro, but keep an
unused copy of the function around so that we don't change the binary
API.

Change pickle's save_global() to use whichmodule() if __module__ is
None, but add the __module__ logic to whichmodule() since it might be
used outside of pickle.

Tim Peters 541ceec3e6 PyCFunction_Call(): Combined two switch cases w/ identical bodies. 2003-01-05 07:22:44 +00:00
Raymond Hettinger bf43f8af35 SF Patch #661440: Refactor and streamline PyCFunction_Call
Refactor code in PyCFunction_Call giving a modest (tiny) speed boost,
a slight improvement in semantics (now detects invalid flag combinations),
and (arguably) improved clarity (making it blindingly clear which flag
combinations are allowed).  All this comes at a cost of a few lines of
code duplication.

* Folded test for METH_KEYWORDS into the switch/case.
* Deferred testing for an empty dictionary until when and where needed.
* Make a similar deferral for filling the "size" variable.
* Inverted the dictionary test so that the common case falls though
  instead of making a jump.

Fred Drake 7bf9715a8b Introduce two new flag bits that can be set in a PyMethodDef method
descriptor, as used for the tp_methods slot of a type.  These new flag
bits are both optional, and mutually exclusive.  Most methods will not
use either.  These flags are used to create special method types which
exist in the same namespace as normal methods without having to use
tedious construction code to insert the new special method objects in
the type's tp_dict after PyType_Ready() has been called.

If METH_CLASS is specified, the method will represent a class method
like that returned by the classmethod() built-in.

If METH_STATIC is specified, the method will represent a static method
like that returned by the staticmethod() built-in.

These flags may not be used in the PyMethodDef table for modules since
these special method types are not meaningful in that case; a
ValueError will be raised if these flags are found in that context.

Neil Schemenauer d91eec9df3 Re-enable GC of method objects. 2002-03-18 20:44:53 +00:00
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.

Martin v. Löwis e3eb1f2b23 Patch #427190: Implement and use METH_NOARGS and METH_O. 2001-08-16 13:15:00 +00:00
Jeremy Hylton 910d7d46dc Remove much dead code from ceval.c
The descr changes moved the dispatch for calling objects from
call_object() in ceval.c to PyObject_Call() in abstract.c.
call_object() and the many functions it used in ceval.c were no longer
used, but were not removed.

Rename meth_call() as PyCFunction_Call() so that it can be called by
the CALL_FUNCTION opcode in ceval.c.

Also, fix error message that referred to PyEval_EvalCodeEx() by its
old name eval_code2().  (I'll probably refer to it by its old name,
too.)

Guido van Rossum 9a15c211cf Fix an error on AIX by using a proper cast. 2000-06-30 22:46:04 +00:00
Fred Drake a44d353e2b Trent Mick <trentm@activestate.com>:
The common technique for printing out a pointer has been to cast to a long
and use the "%lx" printf modifier. This is incorrect on Win64 where casting
to a long truncates the pointer. The "%p" formatter should be used instead.

The problem as stated by Tim:
> Unfortunately, the C committee refused to define what %p conversion "looks
> like" -- they explicitly allowed it to be implementation-defined. Older
> versions of Microsoft C even stuck a colon in the middle of the address (in
> the days of segment+offset addressing)!

The result is that the hex value of a pointer will maybe/maybe not have a 0x
prepended to it.


Notes on the patch:

There are two main classes of changes:
- in the various repr() functions that print out pointers
- debugging printf's in the various thread_*.h files (these are why the
patch is large)


Closes SourceForge patch #100505.

Fred Drake 13634cf7a4 This patch addresses two main issues: (1) There exist some non-fatal
errors in some of the hash algorithms. For exmaple, in float_hash and
complex_hash a certain part of the value is not included in the hash
calculation. See Tim's, Guido's, and my discussion of this on
python-dev in May under the title "fix float_hash and complex_hash for
64-bit *nix"

(2) The hash algorithms that use pointers (e.g. func_hash, code_hash)
are universally not correct on Win64 (they assume that sizeof(long) ==
sizeof(void*))

As well, this patch significantly cleans up the hash code. It adds the
two function _Py_HashDouble and _PyHash_VoidPtr that the various
hashing routine are changed to use.

These help maintain the hash function invariant: (a==b) =>
(hash(a)==hash(b))) I have added Lib/test/test_hash.py and
Lib/test/output/test_hash to test this for some cases.

Guido van Rossum b18618dab7 Vladimir Marangozov's long-awaited malloc restructuring.
For more comments, read the patches@python.org archives.
For documentation read the comments in mymalloc.h and objimpl.h.

(This is not exactly what Vladimir posted to the patches list; I've
made a few changes, and Vladimir sent me a fix in private email for a
problem that only occurs in debug mode.  I'm also holding back on his
change to main.c, which seems unnecessary to me.)

Guido van Rossum b3f7258f14 * Lots of small changes related to access.
* Added "access *: ...", made access work for class methods.
* Introduced subclass check: make sure that when calling
  ClassName.methodname(instance, ...), the instance is an instance of
