slot_tp_descr_set(): When deleting an attribute described by a
descriptor implemented in Python, the descriptor's __del__ method is
called by the slot_tp_descr_set dispatch function. This is bogus --
__del__ already has a different meaning. Renaming this use of __del__
is renamed to __delete__.
use wrappers on all platforms, to make this as consistent as possible x-
platform (in particular, make sure there's at least one \0 byte in
the output buffer). Also document more of the truth about what these do.
getargs.c, seterror(): Three computations of remaining buffer size were
backwards, thus telling PyOS_snprintf the buffer is larger than it
actually is. This matters a lot now that PyOS_snprintf ensures there's a
trailing \0 byte (because it didn't get the truth about the buffer size,
it was storing \0 beyond the true end of the buffer).
sysmodule.c, mywrite(): Simplify, now that PyOS_vsnprintf guarantees to
produce a \0 byte.

than the argument string size, copy as many bytes as will fit
(including a terminating '\0'), rather than not copying anything.
This to make it satisfy the C99 spec.
Bugfix candidate.
int_repr(): we've never had a buffer big enough to hold the largest
possible result on a 64-bit box. Now that we're using snprintf instead
of sprintf, this can lead to nonsense results instead of random stack
corruption.
to seealso, but does not add the "See also:" header or put the content in a
box in the HTML version.
Updated the description of \seeurl to better indicate when it should be used;
the old description was written before we had \seetitle.
- Change PREFIX to PREFIXES, which contains a sequence of prefix strings.
This is useful since we want to look for both Py and PY.
- Wrap a long line.
- Collect struct tags as well as typedef names. Since we generally only
use one of the other, that improves coverage.
- Make the script executable on Unix.
This could use a better approach to determine if a symbol is documented,
and could easily avoid keeping the massive string in memory. That would
take time to actually write more code, though, so we'll bail on that
for now.
vgetargskeywords(): Now that this routine is checking for bad input
(rather than dump core in some cases), some bad calls are raising errors
that previously "worked". This patch makes the error strings more
revealing, and changes the exceptions from SystemError to RuntimeError
(under the theory that SystemError is more of a "can't happen!" assert-
like thing, and so inappropriate for bad arguments to a public C API
function).
