non-checked error return values, and where appropriate,
PyArg_ParseTuple() style argument parsing.
I also changed some function names and converted all malloc/free calls
to PyMem_NEW/PyMem_DEL.
Some stylistic changes and formatting standardization.
take an optional string key, but if key is not given, the method does
nothing! In the rewrite (see upcoming check-in), I left things this
way, but here I document that this is the case.
'verbose' flag ala GvR updated test harness architecture.
Old way:
verbose = 0
if __name__ == '__main__':
verbose = 1
New way:
from test_support import verbose
Some other small readablility and functionality updates.
[NOTE: testall.py and autotest.py might could go away soon, I've
played with Guido's new regrtest.py script and it seems to work well.
I'll wait until Guido gives the word to completely switch over -- and
change the Makefile too!]
- Where optional arguments were being used, converted to
PyArg_ParseTuple() style instead of nested PyArg_Parse() style.
- Check for and handle many potential error conditions that were never
being tested.
- internal reg_* functions renamed to regobj_* (makes it easier to
figure out which are global regex functions and which are for regex
objects).
- reg_group (now regobj_group) was quite extensively reworked. it no
longer recurses to do its job (by factoring core functionality into
a separate function that knows about string and integer indexes).
- some minor formatting fixes.
- regex_set_syntax() now invalidates the cache. Without this change
(in the example below), the second search would produce different
output depending on whether the first search were performed or not
(since performing the first search would cache the compiled object
with RE_SYNTAX_EMACS, causing the second test to unexpectedly fail).
regex.search('(a+)|(b+)', 'cdb')
prev = regex.set_syntax(RE_SYNTAX_AWK)
regex.search('(a+)|(b+)', 'cdb')
