XXX For now, text entered into the interactive intepreter is not
printed in the traceback.
Inspired by a patch from Roman Sulzhyk
compile.c:
Add helper fetch_program_text() that opens a file and reads until it
finds the specified line number. The code is a near duplicate of
similar code in traceback.c.
Modify com_error() to pass two arguments to SyntaxError constructor,
where the second argument contains the offending text when possible.
Modify set_error_location(), now used only by the symtable pass, to
set the text attribute on existing exceptions.
pythonrun.c:
Change parse_syntax_error() to continue of the offset attribute of a
SyntaxError is None. In this case, it sets offset to -1.
Move code from PyErr_PrintEx() into helper function
print_error_text(). In the helper, only print the caret for a
SyntaxError if offset > 0.

Renamed check_case to case_ok. Substantial code rearrangement to get
this stuff in one place in the file. Innermost loop of find_module()
now much simpler and #ifdef-free, and I want to keep it that way (it's
bad enough that the innermost loop is itself still in an #ifdef!).
Windows semantics tested and are fine.
Jason, Cygwin *should* be fine if and only if what you did before "worked"
for case_ok.
Jack, the semantics on your flavor of Mac have definitely changed (see
the PEP), and need to be tested. The intent is that your flavor of Mac
now work the same as everything else in the "lower left" box, including
respecting PYTHONCASEOK.
Steven, sorry, you did the most work here so far but you got screwed the
worst. Happy to work with you on repairing it, but I don't understand
anything about all your Mac variants. We need to add another branch (or
two, three, ...?) inside case_ok. But we should not need to change
anything else.
XXX still need to integrate into symtable API
compile.h: Remove ff_n_simple_stmt; obsolete.
Add ff_found_docstring used internally to skip one and only
one string at the beginning of a module.

Refactor symtable_load_symbols() into several smaller functions,
which use struct symbol_info to share variables. In new function
symtable_update_flags(), raise an error or warning for import * or

In symtable_init() assign st_nested_scopes flag to
NESTED_SCOPES_DEFAULT (defined in compile.h).
Add preliminary and often incorrect implementation of
symtable_check_future().
Add symtable_lookup() helper for future use.
Two different but related problems:
1. PySymtable_Free() must explicitly DECREF(st->st_cur), which should
always point to the global symtable entry. This entry is setup by the
first enter_scope() call, but there is never a corresponding
exit_scope() call.
Since each entry has a reference to scopes defined within it, the
missing DECREF caused all symtable entries to be leaked.
2. The leak here masked a separate problem with
PySymtableEntry_New(). When the requested entry was found in
st->st_symbols, the entry was returned without doing an INCREF.
And problem c) The ste_children slot was getting two copies of each
child entry, because it was populating the slot on the first and
second passes. Now only populate on the first pass.
save the __builtin__ module in a static variable. But this doesn't
work across Py_Finalise()/Py_Initialize()! It also doesn't work when
using multiple interpreter states created with PyInterpreterState_New().
So I'm ripping out this small optimization.
This was probably broken since PyImport_Import() was introduced in
1997! We really need a better test suite for multiple interpreter
states and repeatedly initializing.
This fixes the problems Barry reported in Demo/embed/loop.c.

They're actually complaining about something more specific, an assignment
in a lambda as an actual argument, so that Python parses the
lambda as if it were a keyword argument. Like f(lambda x: x[0]=42).
The "lambda x: x[0]" part gets parsed as if it were a keyword, being
bound to 42, and the resulting error msg didn't make much sense.

either is illegal.
Revise the symtable to use a PySymtableEntryObject, which holds all
the revelent information for a scope, rather than using a bunch of
st_cur_XXX pointers in the symtable struct. The changes simplify the
internal management of the current symtable scope and of the stack.
Added new C source file: Python/symtable.c. (Does the Windows build
process need to be updated?)
As part of these changes, the initial _symtable module interface
introduced in 2.1a2 is replaced. A dictionary of
PySymtableEntryObjects are returned.

Add extra argument to symtable_assign(); the argument, flag, is ORed

This change eliminates an extra malloc/free when a frame with free
variables is created. Any cell vars or free vars are stored in
f_localsplus after the locals and before the stack.
eval_code2() fills in the appropriate values after handling
initialization of locals.
To track the size the frame has an f_size member that tracks the total
size of f_localsplus. It used to be implicitly f_nlocals + f_stacksize.
They're named as if public, so I did a Bad Thing by changing

PyMarshal_ReadObjectFromFile() to its earlier state, renamed the new greedy
code to PyMarshal_ReadLastObjectFromFile(), and changed Python internals to
call the latter instead.
SF patch http://sourceforge.net/patch/?func=detailpatch&patch_id=103453&group_id=5470
PyMember_Set of T_CHAR always raises exception.
Unfortunately, this is a use of a C API function that Python itself never makes, so
there's no .py test I can check in to verify this stays fixed. But the fault in the
code is obvious, and Dave Cole's patch just as obviously fixes it.
The majority of the changes are in the compiler. The mainloop changes
primarily to implement the new opcodes and to pass a function's
closure to eval_code2(). Frames and functions got new slots to hold
the closure.
Include/compile.h
Add co_freevars and co_cellvars slots to code objects.
Update PyCode_New() to take freevars and cellvars as arguments
Include/funcobject.h
Add func_closure slot to function objects.
Add GetClosure()/SetClosure() functions (and corresponding
macros) for getting at the closure.
Include/frameobject.h
PyFrame_New() now takes a closure.
Include/opcode.h
Add four new opcodes: MAKE_CLOSURE, LOAD_CLOSURE, LOAD_DEREF,
STORE_DEREF.
Remove comment about old requirement for opcodes to fit in 7
bits.
compile.c
Implement changes to code objects for co_freevars and co_cellvars.
Modify symbol table to use st_cur_name (string object for the name
of the current scope) and st_cur_children (list of nested blocks).
Also define st_nested, which might more properly be called
st_cur_nested. Add several DEF_XXX flags to track def-use
information for free variables.
New or modified functions of note:
com_make_closure(struct compiling *, PyCodeObject *)
Emit LOAD_CLOSURE opcodes as needed to pass cells for free
variables into nested scope.
com_addop_varname(struct compiling *, int, char *)
Emits opcodes for LOAD_DEREF and STORE_DEREF.
get_ref_type(struct compiling *, char *name)
Return NAME_CLOSURE if ref type is FREE or CELL
symtable_load_symbols(struct compiling *)
Decides what variables are cell or free based on def-use info.
Can now raise SyntaxError if nested scopes are mixed with
exec or from blah import *.
make_scope_info(PyObject *, PyObject *, int, int)
Helper functions for symtable scope stack.
symtable_update_free_vars(struct symtable *)
After a code block has been analyzed, it must check each of
its children for free variables that are not defined in the
block. If a variable is free in a child and not defined in
the parent, then it is defined by block the enclosing the
current one or it is a global. This does the right logic.
symtable_add_use() is now a macro for symtable_add_def()
symtable_assign(struct symtable *, node *)
Use goto instead of for (;;)
Fixed bug in symtable where name of keyword argument in function
call was treated as assignment in the scope of the call site. Ex:
def f():
g(a=2) # a was considered a local of f
ceval.c
eval_code2() now take one more argument, a closure.
Implement LOAD_CLOSURE, LOAD_DEREF, STORE_DEREF, MAKE_CLOSURE>
Also: When name error occurs for global variable, report that the
name was global in the error mesage.
Objects/frameobject.c
Initialize f_closure to be a tuple containing space for cellvars
and freevars. f_closure is NULL if neither are present.
Objects/funcobject.c
Add support for func_closure.
Python/import.c
Change the magic number.
Python/marshal.c
Track changes to code objects.
parameters that contained both anonymous tuples and *arg or **arg. Ex:
def f(a, (b, c), *d): pass
Fix the symtable_params() to generate names in the right order for
co_varnames slot of code object. Consider *arg and **arg before the
"complex" names introduced by anonymous tuples.
module__doc__: Document the Warning subclass heirarchy.
make_class(): Added a "goto finally" so that if populate_methods()
fails, the return status will be -1 (failure) instead of 0 (success).
fini_exceptions(): When decref'ing the static pointers to the
exception classes, clear out their dictionaries too. This breaks a
cycle from class->dict->method->class and allows the classes with
unbound methods to be reclaimed. This plugs a large memory leak in a
common Py_Initialize()/dosomething/Py_Finalize() loop.
pythonrun.c: In Py_Finalize, don't reset the initialized flag until after
the exit funcs have run.
atexit.py: in _run_exitfuncs, mutate the list of pending calls in a
threadsafe way. This wasn't a contributor to bug 128475, it just burned
my eyeballs when looking at that bug.
symbol table for each top-level compilation unit. The information in
the symbol table allows the elimination of the later optimize() pass;
the bytecode generation emits the correct opcodes.
The current version passes the complete regression test, but may still
contain some bugs. It's a fairly substantial revision. The current
code adds an assert() and a test that may lead to a Py_FatalError().
I expect to remove these before 2.1 beta 1.
The symbol table (struct symtable) is described in comments in the
code.
The changes affects the several com_XXX() functions that were used to
emit LOAD_NAME and its ilk. The primary interface for this bytecode
is now com_addop_varname() which takes a kind and a name, where kind
is one of VAR_LOAD, VAR_STORE, or VAR_DELETE.
There are many other smaller changes:
- The name mangling code is no longer contained in ifdefs. There are
two functions that expose the mangling logical: com_mangle() and
symtable_mangle().
- The com_error() function can accept NULL for its first argument;
this is useful with is_constant_false() is called during symbol
table generation.
- The loop index names used by list comprehensions have been changed
from __1__ to [1], so that they can not be accessed by Python code.
- in com_funcdef(), com_argdefs() is now called before the body of the
function is compiled. This provides consistency with com_lambdef()
and symtable_funcdef().
- Helpers do_pad(), dump(), and DUMP() are added to aid in debugging
the compiler.

A new C API PyObject_Unicode() is also provided.

1) "from M import X" now works even if M is not a real module; it's
basically a getattr() operation with AttributeError exceptions
changed into ImportError.
2) "from M import *" now looks for M.__all__ to decide which names to
import; if M.__all__ doesn't exist, it uses M.__dict__.keys() but
filters out names starting with '_' as before. Whether or not
__all__ exists, there's no restriction on the type of M.

the keywords dict should be ignored. If the keywords dict is not empty,
TypeError should be raised. (Between the restructuring of the call

More revision still needed.
Much of the code that was in the mainloop was moved to a series of
helper functions. PyEval_CallObjectWithKeywords was split into two
parts. The first part now only does argument handling. The second
part is now named call_object and delegates the call to a
call_(function,method,etc.) helper.
XXX The call_XXX helper functions should be replaced with tp_call
functions for the respective types.
The CALL_FUNCTION implementation contains three kinds of optimization:
1. fast_cfunction and fast_function are called when the arguments on
the stack can be passed directly to eval_code2() without copying
them into a tuple.
2. PyCFunction objects are dispatched immediately, because they are
presumed to occur more often than anything else.
3. Bound methods are dispatched inline. The method object contains a
pointer to the function object that will be called. The function
is called from within the mainloop, which may allow optimization #1
to be used, too.
The extened call implementation -- f(*args) and f(**kw) -- are
implemented as a separate case in the mainloop. This allows the
common case of normal function calls to execute without wasting time
on checks for extended calls, although it does introduce a small
amount of code duplication.
Also, the unused final argument of eval_code2() was removed. This is
probably the last trace of the access statement :-).
"..." in "from M import ..." was never DECREFed. Leak reported by
James Slaughter and nailed by Barry, who also provided an earlier
version of this patch.

regardless of whether the system getopt() does what we want. This avoids the

Demo/pyserv/pyserv.c to include getopt.h itself, instead of relying on
Python to provide it.
When a method is called with no regular arguments and * args, defer

review it to see if it can be simplified.

As a result, when .pyc files were later read-- in binary mode --the

"s#" will now return a pointer to the default encoded string data

based on the fact that string objects return the raw character data
for getreadbuffer access and are always single-segment.
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

As side-effect, the traditional C APIs PyString_Size() and
PyString_AsString() will also accept Unicode objects as

can cause it to get called by multiple threads simultaneously.
Ditto for PyInterpreterState_Delete.
Of the former, the docs say "The interpreter lock need not be held, but may
be held if it is necessary to serialize calls to this function". This
kinda implies it both is and isn't thread-safe.
Of the latter, the docs merely say "The interpreter lock need not be
held.", and the clause about serializing is absent.
I expect it was *believed* these are both thread-safe, and the bit about
serializing via the global lock was meant as a permission rather than a
caution.
I also expect we've never seen a problem here because the Python core
(prior to the _PyPclose fix) only calls these functions once per run.
The Py_NewInterpreter subsystem exposed by the C API (but not used by
Python itself) also calls them, but that subsystem appears to be very
rarely used.
Whatever, they're both thread-safe now.
