Fred Drake 5550de3084 Christopher Fandrich <cfandrich@8cs.com>:
Fix memory leak in initializing __debug__.
2000-06-20 04:54:19 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 78e6c671db All the exception building related stuff has been moved out of this
module and into _exceptions.c.  This includes all the PyExc_* globals,
the bltin_exc table, init_class_exc(), fini_instances(),
finierrors().

Renamed _PyBuiltin_Init_1() to _PyBuiltin_Init() since the two phase
initializations are necessary any more.

Removed as obsolete _PyBuiltin_Init_2(), _PyBuiltin_Fini_1() and
_PyBuiltin_Fini_2().
2000-05-25 23:15:05 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 1226588e57 bltin_exc: Removed the leaf_exc flag in the structure, which was only
used to build the fallback string-based exception.

Fred Drake c640b18d96 M.-A. Lemburg <mal@lemburg.com>:
Fixed docs according to the new behaviour (the Unicode
encoding is no longer fixed to UTF-8).

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.)
2000-05-03 23:44:39 +00:00
Guido van Rossum a7cfca23e1 A bit of cleanup:
- When 'import exceptions' fails, don't suggest to use -v to print the traceback;
  this doesn't actually work.
- Remove comment about fallback to string exceptions.
- Remove a PyErr_Occurred() check after all is said and done that can
  never trigger.
- Remove static function newstdexception() which is no longer called.

Barry Warsaw 48719d3d1f _PyBuiltin_Init_2(): Remove the misleading comment. 2000-05-02 19:24:39 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 47eeb9bdad initerrors(): Remove this function. String-based standard exceptions
are no longer supported (i.e. -X option is removed).

_PyBuiltin_Init_1(): Don't call initerrors().  This does mean that it
is possible to raise an ImportError before that exception has been
initialized, say because exceptions.py can't be found, or contains
bogosity.  See changes to errors.c for how this is handled.

_PyBuiltin_Init_2(): Don't test Py_UseClassExceptionsFlag, just go
ahead and initialize the class-based standard exceptions.  If this
fails, we throw a Py_FatalError.

Fred Drake 078b24f000 When refering to Unicode characters in exception messages and
docstrings, the documentation guidelines call for "Unicode", not
"unicode".  Comply.

Jeremy Hylton 394b54d01a ord: provide better error messages 2000-04-12 21:19:47 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 3afba7644b Marc-Andre Lemburg:
Added special case to unicode(): when being passed a
Unicode object as first argument, return the object as-is.
Raises an exception when given a Unicode object *and* an
encoding name.
2000-04-11 15:38:23 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 9e896b37c7 Marc-Andre's third try at this bulk patch seems to work (except that
his copy of test_contains.py seems to be broken -- the lines he
deleted were already absent).  Checkin messages:


New Unicode support for int(), float(), complex() and long().

- new APIs PyInt_FromUnicode() and PyLong_FromUnicode()
- added support for Unicode to PyFloat_FromString()
- new encoding API PyUnicode_EncodeDecimal() which converts
  Unicode to a decimal char* string (used in the above new
  APIs)
- shortcuts for calls like int(<int object>) and float(<float obj>)
- tests for all of the above

Unicode compares and contains checks:
- comparing Unicode and non-string types now works; TypeErrors
  are masked, all other errors such as ValueError during
  Unicode coercion are passed through (note that PyUnicode_Compare
  does not implement the masking -- PyObject_Compare does this)
- contains now works for non-string types too; TypeErrors are
  masked and 0 returned; all other errors are passed through

Better testing support for the standard codecs.

Misc minor enhancements, such as an alias dbcs for the mbcs codec.

Changes:
- PyLong_FromString() now applies the same error checks as
  does PyInt_FromString(): trailing garbage is reported
  as error and not longer silently ignored. The only characters
  which may be trailing the digits are 'L' and 'l' -- these
  are still silently ignored.
- string.ato?() now directly interface to int(), long() and
  float(). The error strings are now a little different, but
  the type still remains the same. These functions are now
  ready to get declared obsolete ;-)
- PyNumber_Int() now also does a check for embedded NULL chars
  in the input string; PyNumber_Long() already did this (and
  still does)

Followed by:

Looks like I've gone a step too far there... (and test_contains.py
seem to have a bug too).

I've changed back to reporting all errors in PyUnicode_Contains()
and added a few more test cases to test_contains.py (plus corrected
the join() NameError).

1999-07-19 15:21:16 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 8746082175 Patch by Tim Peters:
Introduce a new builtin exception, UnboundLocalError, raised when ceval.c
tries to retrieve or delete a local name that isn't bound to a value.
Currently raises NameError, which makes this behavior a FAQ since the same
error is raised for "missing" global names too:  when the user has a global
of the same name as the unbound local, NameError makes no sense to them.
Even in the absence of shadowing, knowing whether a bogus name is local or
global is a real aid to quick understanding.

Example:

D:\src\PCbuild>type local.py
x = 42

def f():
    print x
    x = 13
    return x

f()

D:\src\PCbuild>python local.py
Traceback (innermost last):
  File "local.py", line 8, in ?
    f()
  File "local.py", line 4, in f
    print x
UnboundLocalError: x

D:\src\PCbuild>

Note that UnboundLocalError is a subclass of NameError, for compatibility
with existing class-exception code that may be trying to catch this as a
NameError.  Unfortunately, I see no way to make this wholly compatible
with -X (see comments in bltinmodule.c):  under -X, [UnboundLocalError
is an alias for NameError --GvR].

[The ceval.c patch differs slightly from the second version that Tim
submitted; I decided not to raise UnboundLocalError for DELETE_NAME,
only for DELETE_LOCAL.  DELETE_NAME is only generated at the module
level, and since at that level a NameError is raised for referencing
an undefined name, it should also be raised for deleting one.]

Guido van Rossum 7f85186921 # Darn! Local variable l declared but not used in abstract_issubclass(). 1999-06-17 19:12:39 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 668213d3b8 Patch by Jim Fulton (code style tweaked a bit) to support
ExtensionClasses in isinstance() and issubclass().

  - abstract instance and class protocols are used *only* in those
    cases that would generate errors before the patch.  That is, there's
    no penalty for the normal case.

  - instance protocol: an object smells like an instance if it
    has a __class__ attribute that smells like a class.

  - class protocol: an object smells like a class if it has a
    __bases__ attribute that is a tuple with elements that
    smell like classes (although not all elements may actually get
    sniffed ;).

Guido van Rossum 99fb7c70f4 Remove unused variable from complex_from_string() code. 1999-04-07 16:05:47 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 1195023b89 Patch by Nick and Stephanie Lockwood to implement complex() with a string
argument.  This closes TODO item 2.19.
1999-03-25 21:16:07 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 0daf022225 New builtin buffer() creates a derived read-only buffer from any
object that supports the buffer interface (e.g. strings, arrays).
1999-03-19 19:07:19 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 72b715d979 (initerrors): Make sure that the exception tuples ("base-classes" when
string-based exceptions are used) reflect the real class hierarchy,
i.e. that SystemExit derives from Exception not StandardError.
1999-02-24 00:35:43 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 124eff0225 Patch by Tim Peters to improve the range checks for range() and
xrange(), especially for platforms where int and long are different
sizes (so sys.maxint isn't actually the theoretical limit for the
length of a list, but the largest C int is -- sys.maxint is the
largest Python int, which is actually a C long).
1999-02-23 16:11:01 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 7890203f49 bltin_exc[]: EnvironmentError is not a "leaf exception", so set it's
leaf_exc flag to zero otherwise the name leaks memory.
1999-01-29 20:29:49 +00:00
Barry Warsaw fa77e09dd0 builtin_map(): A better fix for the previous leak plug (remember
PyList_Append steals a reference even if it fails).

builtin_filter(): Had the same leak problem as builtin_map().
1999-01-28 18:49:12 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 2133287c3e builtin_map(): Nailed memory leak. PyList_Append() borrows a
reference, so you have to DECREF the appended value.  This was a fun
one!
1999-01-28 04:21:35 +00:00
Barry Warsaw f988e687a1 builtin_complex(): Nailed memory leak. This one's in the instance
test for classes with a __complex__() method.  The attribute is pulled
out of the instance with PyObject_GetAttr() but this transfers
ownership and the function object was never DECREF'd.
1999-01-27 23:13:59 +00:00
Guido van Rossum e23cde2f8d Avoid overflow if possible in calculations for range(); report
unavoidable overflow as OverflowError.
1999-01-12 05:07:47 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 344864fcfb Added new builtin standard exception: NotImplementedError (its C
counterpart is PyExc_NotImplementedError).
1998-12-01 18:52:06 +00:00
Guido van Rossum df12a59305 Fix cosmetic bug in delattr docstring discovered by JvR. 1998-11-23 22:13:04 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 968f8cbace builtin_apply(): Second argument type check is relaxed to allow any sequence. 1998-10-01 15:33:12 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 98b6246c0c Several changes that Python carry on in the face of errors in the
initialization of class exceptions.  Specifically:

init_class_exc(): This function now returns an integer status of the
class exception initialization.  No fatal errors in this method now.
Also, use PySys_WriteStderr() when writing error messages.  When an
error occurs in this function, 0 is returned, but the partial creation
of the exception classes is not undone (this happens elsewhere).

Things that could trigger the fallback:

    - exceptions.py fails to be imported (due to syntax error, etc.)

    - one of the exception classes is missing (e.g. due to library
      version mismatch)

    - exception class can't be inserted into __builtin__'s dictionary

    - MemoryError instance can't be pre-allocated

    - some other PyErr_Occurred

newstdexception(): Changed the error message.  This is still a fatal
error because if the string based exceptions can't be created, we
really can't continue.

initerrors(): Be sure to xdecref the .exc field, which might be
non-NULL if class exceptions init was aborted.

_PyBuiltin_Init_2(): If class exception init fails, print a warning
message and reinstate the string based exceptions.
1998-09-14 18:51:11 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 746340d989 Should no longer surround PyOS_Readline() call with
Py_{BEGIN,END}_ALLOW_THREADS macros.  Also get rid of the declaration
for it (it's now in pythonrun.h).
1998-09-03 22:25:05 +00:00
Barry Warsaw d086a1a864 Added support for two new standard errors: EnvironmentError and
OSError.  The EnvironmentError serves primarily as the (common
implementation) base class for IOError and OSError.  OSError is used
by posixmodule.c

Also added tuple definition of EnvironmentError when using string
based exceptions.
1998-07-23 15:59:57 +00:00
Guido van Rossum fa4ac71dd6 Small changes to map() and filter():
(1) If a sequence S is shorter than len(S) indicated, don't fail --
just use the shorter size.  (I.e, len(S) is just a hint.)

(2) Implement the special case map(None, S) as list(S) -- it's faster.
1998-07-10 17:37:30 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 8ea9f4d10a Fix a stupid little bug: len() of an unsized returns -1 and leaves an
exception waiting to happen next...
1998-06-29 22:26:50 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 950ff2923a Experimental feature: add default argument to getattr(). 1998-06-29 13:38:57 +00:00
Guido van Rossum f9d9c6c5d2 Added doc strings. 1998-06-26 21:23:49 +00:00
Guido van Rossum d9b5208e90 In raw_input(prompt), make sure that str(prompt) really a string
object before using it.
1998-06-26 18:25:38 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 9396673a58 Remove a few unused locals (I love VC++ for this!). 1998-05-29 02:59:00 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 09df08a105 A bunch of functions are now properly implemented in abstract.c, and
the code here becomes much simpler.  In particular: abs(), divmod(),
pow(), int(), long(), float(), len(), tuple(), list().

Also make sure that no use of a function pointer gotten from a
tp_as_sequence or tp_as_mapping structure is made without checking it
for NULL first.

A few other cosmetic things, such as properly reindenting slice().
1998-05-22 00:51:39 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 1e162d3753 Implement round() slightly different, so that for negative ndigits no
additional errors happen in the last step.  The trick is to avoid
division by 0.1**n -- multiply by 10.0**n instead.
1998-05-09 14:42:25 +00:00
Guido van Rossum a937d14898 Fred's right -- we need PyList_SET_ITEM(). 1998-04-24 18:22:02 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 507338e5ca In-line the code in range() to set the list items; there's really no
need to call PyList_SetItem(v,i,w) when PyList_GET_ITEM(v,i)=w {sic}
will do.
1998-04-23 21:46:19 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 730806d3d9 Make new gcc -Wall happy 1998-04-10 22:27:42 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 8f74571596 Use a faster way to check for null bytes in the string argument for
int(), long(), float().
1998-03-13 21:30:14 +00:00
Guido van Rossum d6af46d4ae Need a cast when comparing type object in isinstance() 1997-12-10 05:51:47 +00:00
