Py_FatalError() from module initialization functions. The importing
mechanism already checks for PyErr_Occurred() after module importation
and it Does The Right Thing.
Unfortunately, the following either were not compiled or tested by the
regression suite, due to issues with my development platform:
almodule.c
cdmodule.c
mpzmodule.c
puremodule.c
timingmodule.c
and a couple of functions that were missed in the previous batches. Not
terribly tested, but very carefully scrutinized, three times.
All these were found by the little findkrc.py that I posted to python-dev,
which means there might be more lurking. Cases such as this:
long
func(a, b)
long a;
long b; /* flagword */
{
and other cases where the last ; in the argument list isn't followed by a
newline and an opening curly bracket. Regexps to catch all are welcome, of
course ;)
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.)
The buffers self->regex and self->regex_extra are allocated in
pcre_compile() and pcre_study() via pcre_malloc, but are released
via free() instead of pcre_free.
was appended to a list. Lists are reference count neutral, so the
string must be DECREF'd. Also added some checks for the return value
of PyList_Append().
Note: there are still some memory problems reported by Purify (I get
two Array Bounds Reads still and an Unitialized Memory Read). Also,
in scanning the code, there appears to be some potential problems
where return values aren't checked. To much to attack now though.
