raise ValueError. Checked in the patch as far as it went, but also changed
all of ints, longs and floats to raise ZeroDivisionError instead when raising
0 to a negative number. This is what 754-inspired stds require, as the "true
result" is an infinity obtained from finite operands, i.e. it's a singularity.
Also changed float pow to not be so timid about using its square-and-multiply
algorithm. Note that what math.pow does is unrelated to what builtin pow
does, and will still vary by platform.

Add definitions of INT_MAX and LONG_MAX to pyport.h.
Remove includes of limits.h and conditional definitions of INT_MAX

- use unidb compression for the unicodectype module. smaller, faster,
and slightly more portable...
(note: this commit doesn't include the unicodectype.c file itself; I'm
still waiting for the reviewers...)
I fixed the specific complaint but left the (many) large issues untouched.
See the (very long) bug report discussion for why:

Note that while I left the interface to the undocumented public API function
PyFloat_FromString alone, its 2nd argument is useless. From a comment block
in the code:
RED_FLAG 22-Sep-2000 tim
PyFloat_FromString's pend argument is braindead. Prior to this RED_FLAG,
1. If v was a regular string, *pend was set to point to its terminating
null byte. That's useless (the caller can find that without any
help from this function!).
2. If v was a Unicode string, or an object convertible to a character
buffer, *pend was set to point into stack trash (the auto temp
vector holding the character buffer). That was downright dangerous.
Since we can't change the interface of a public API function, pend is
still supported but now *officially* useless: if pend is not NULL,
*pend is set to NULL.
Note a curious extension to the std C rules: x, X and o formatting can never produce
a sign character in C, so the '+' and ' ' flags are meaningless for them. But
unbounded ints *can* produce a sign character under these conversions (no fixed-
width bitstring is wide enough to hold all negative values in 2's-comp form). So
these flags become meaningful in Python when formatting a Python long which is too
big to fit in a C long. This required shuffling around existing code, which hacked
x and X conversions to death when both the '#' and '0' flags were specified: the
hacks weren't strong enough to deal with the simultaneous possibility of the ' ' or
'+' flags too, since signs were always meaningless before for x and X conversions.
Isomorphic shuffling was required in unicodeobject.c.
Also added dozens of non-trivial new unbounded-int test cases to test_format.py.
which implements the automatic conversion from Unicode to a string
object using the default encoding.
The new API is then put to use to have eval() and exec accept
Unicode objects as code parameter. This closes bugs #110924
and #113890.
As side-effect, the traditional C APIs PyString_Size() and
PyString_AsString() will also accept Unicode objects as
parameters.
objects for the attribute name. Unicode objects are converted to
a string using the default encoding before trying the lookup.
Note that previously it was allowed to pass arbitrary objects as
attribute name in case the tp_getattro/setattro slots were defined.
This patch fixes this by applying an explicit string check first:
all uses of these slots expect string objects and do not check
for the type resulting in a core dump. The tp_getattro/setattro
are still useful as optimization for lookups using interned
string objects though.
This patch fixes bug #113829.
that Py_INCREF boosts global _Py_RefTotal when Py_REF_DEBUG is defined
but Py_TRACE_REFS isn't.
There are, IMO, way too many preprocessor gimmicks in use for refcount
debugging (at least 3 distinct true/false symbols, but not all 8 combos
are supported by the code, etc etc), and no coherent documentation of
this stuff -- 'twas too painful to track this one down.
all, either to see whether the # of chars fit in an int, or that the
amount of memory needed fit in a size_t. Checking these is expensive, but
the alternative is silently wrong answers (as in the bug report) or
core dumps (which were easy to provoke using Unicode strings).
exception context. This avoids improperly propogating errors raised by
a user-defined __cmp__() by a subsequent lookup operation.
This patch does *not* include the performance enhancement patch for
dictionaries with string keys only; that will be checked in separately.
This closes SourceForge patch #101277 and bug #112558.
file.writelines() now tries to emulate the behaviour of file.write()

interpreter lock the solution isn't exactly optimal, but still better
than not supporting the file.write() semantics at all.

shutdown time, but CVS log entry for revision 2.45 explains why this
is so. Simply include a comment so we don't have to re-figure it out
again 5 years from now.
This was a misleading bug -- the true "bug" was that hash(x) gave an error
return when x is an infinity. Fixed that. Added new Py_IS_INFINITY macro to
pyport.h. Rearranged code to reduce growing duplication in hashing of float and
complex numbers, pushing Trent's earlier stab at that to a logical conclusion.
Fixed exceedingly rare bug where hashing of floats could return -1 even if there
wasn't an error (didn't waste time trying to construct a test case, it was simply
obvious from the code that it *could* happen). Improved complex hash so that
hash(complex(x, y)) doesn't systematically equal hash(complex(y, x)) anymore.

the Python Unicode implementation.
The internal buffer used for implementing the buffer protocol
is renamed to defenc to make this change visible. It now holds the
default encoded version of the Unicode object and is calculated
on demand (NULL otherwise).
Since the default encoding defaults to ASCII, this will mean that
Unicode objects which hold non-ASCII characters will no longer
work on C APIs using the "s" or "t" parser markers. C APIs must now
explicitly provide Unicode support via the "u", "U" or "es"/"es#"
parser markers in order to work with non-ASCII Unicode strings.
(Note: this patch will also have to be applied to the 1.6 branch
of the CVS tree.)
This doesn't change the copyright status for these files -- just the

the HEAD revision was pushed back into 1.6.
The UTF-8 decoder is still buggy (i.e. it doesn't pass Markus Kuhn's
stress test), mainly due to the following construct:
#define UTF8_ERROR(details) do { \
if (utf8_decoding_error(&s, &p, errors, details)) \
goto onError; \
continue; \
} while (0)
(The "continue" statement is supposed to exit from the outer loop,
but of course, it doesn't. Indeed, this is a marvelous example of
the dangers of the C programming language and especially of the C
preprocessor.)
comments, docstrings or error messages. I fixed two minor things in
test_winreg.py ("didn't" -> "Didn't" and "Didnt" -> "Didn't").
There is a minor style issue involved: Guido seems to have preferred English
grammar (behaviour, honour) in a couple places. This patch changes that to
American, which is the more prominent style in the source. I prefer English
myself, so if English is preferred, I'd be happy to supply a patch myself ;)

was cascades of warnings about mismatching const decls. Overall,
I think const creates lots of headaches and solves almost
nothing. Added enough consts to shut up the warnings, but
this did require casting away const in one spot too (another
usual outcome of starting down this path): the function
mymemreplace can't return const char*, but sometimes wants to
return its first argument as-is, which latter must be declared
const char* in order to avoid const warnings at mymemreplace's
call sites. So, in the case the function wants to return the
first arg, that arg's declared constness must be subverted.
This was a convenient excuse to create the pyport.h file recently
discussed!
Please use new Py_ARITHMETIC_RIGHT_SHIFT when right-shifting a
signed int and you *need* sign-extension. This is #define'd in
pyport.h, keying off new config symbol SIGNED_RIGHT_SHIFT_ZERO_FILLS.
If you're running on a platform that needs that symbol #define'd,
the std tests never would have worked for you (in particular,
at least test_long would have failed).
The autoconfig stuff got added to Python after my Unix days, so
I don't know how that works. Would someone please look into doing
& testing an auto-config of the SIGNED_RIGHT_SHIFT_ZERO_FILLS
symbol? It needs to be defined if & only if, e.g., (-1) >> 3 is
not -1.
Stein -- thanks!). Incidentally removed all the Py_PROTO macros
from object.h, as they prevented my editor from magically finding
the definitions of the "coercion", "cmpfunc" and "reprfunc"
typedefs that were being redundantly applied in longobject.c.
works just like the Unicode one. The C APIs match the ones in the Unicode
implementation, but were extended to be able to reuse the existing
Unicode codecs for string purposes too.
Conversions from string to Unicode and back are done using the
default encoding.
