The staticforward define was needed to support certain broken C
compilers (notably SCO ODT 3.0, perhaps early AIX as well) botched the
static keyword when it was used with a forward declaration of a static
initialized structure. Standard C allows the forward declaration with
static, and we've decided to stop catering to broken C compilers. (In
fact, we expect that the compilers are all fixed eight years later.)
I'm leaving staticforward and statichere defined in object.h as
static. This is only for backwards compatibility with C extensions
that might still use it.
XXX I haven't updated the documentation.
type.__module__ behavior.
This adds the module name and a dot in front of the type name in every
type object initializer, except for built-in types (and those that
already had this). Note that it touches lots of Mac modules -- I have
no way to test these but the changes look right. Apologies if they're
not. This also touches the weakref docs, which contains a sample type
object initializer. It also touches the mmap test output, because the
mmap type's repr is included in that output. It touches object.h to
put the correct description in a comment.
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 ;)
comments, docstrings or error messages. I fixed two minor things in
test_winreg.py ("didn't" -> "Didn't" and "Didnt" -> "Didn't").
There is a minor style issue involved: Guido seems to have preferred English
grammar (behaviour, honour) in a couple places. This patch changes that to
American, which is the more prominent style in the source. I prefer English
myself, so if English is preferred, I'd be happy to supply a patch myself ;)
The common technique for printing out a pointer has been to cast to a long
and use the "%lx" printf modifier. This is incorrect on Win64 where casting
to a long truncates the pointer. The "%p" formatter should be used instead.
The problem as stated by Tim:
> Unfortunately, the C committee refused to define what %p conversion "looks
> like" -- they explicitly allowed it to be implementation-defined. Older
> versions of Microsoft C even stuck a colon in the middle of the address (in
> the days of segment+offset addressing)!
The result is that the hex value of a pointer will maybe/maybe not have a 0x
prepended to it.
Notes on the patch:
There are two main classes of changes:
- in the various repr() functions that print out pointers
- debugging printf's in the various thread_*.h files (these are why the
patch is large)

(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.)
* many files: made some functions static; removed "extern int errno;".
* frozenmain.c: fixed bugs introduced on 24 June...
* flmodule.c: remove 1.5 bw compat hacks, add new functions in 2.2a
(and some old functions that were omitted).
* timemodule.c: added MSDOS floatsleep version .
* pgenmain.c: changed exit() to goaway() and added defn of goaway().
* intrcheck.c: add hack (to UNIX only) so interrupting 3 times
will exit from a hanging program. The second interrupt prints
a message explaining this to the user.
Added $(SYSDEF) to its build rule in Makefile.
* cgensupport.[ch], modsupport.[ch]: removed some old stuff. Also
changed files that still used it... And made several things static
that weren't but should have been... And other minor cleanups...
* listobject.[ch]: add external interfaces {set,get}listslice
* socketmodule.c: fix bugs in new send() argument parsing.
* sunaudiodevmodule.c: added flush() and close().
lookup (opcode.h, ceval.[ch], compile.c, frameobject.[ch],
pythonrun.c, import.c). The .pyc MAGIC number is changed again.
Added get_menu_text to flmodule.
* Fixcprt.py: added [-y file] option, do only files younger than file.
* modsupport.[ch]: added vmkvalue().
* intobject.c: use mkvalue().
* stringobject.c: added "formatstring"; renamed string* to string_*;
ceval.c: call formatstring for string % value.
* longobject.c: close memory leak in divmod.
* parsetok.c: set result node to NULL when returning an error.
* flmodule.c: added {do,check}_only_forms to fl's list of functions;
and don't print a message when an unknown object is returned.
* pythonrun.c: catch SIGHUP and SIGTERM to do essential cleanup.
* Made jpegmodule.c smaller by using getargs() and mkvalue() consistently.
* Increased parser stack size to 500 in parser.h.
* Implemented custom allocation of stack frames to frameobject.c and
added dynamic stack overflow checks (value stack only) to ceval.c.
(There seems to be a bug left: sometimes stack traces don't make sense.)
* flmodule.c: added some missing functions; changed readonly flags of
some data members based upon FORMS documentation.
* listobject.c: fixed int/long arg lint bug (bites PC compilers).
* several: removed redundant print methods (repr is good enough).
* posixmodule.c: added (still experimental) process group functions.
* socketmodule.c: get rid of makepair(); fix makesocketaddr to fix
broken recvfrom()
* socketmodule: get rid of getStrarg()
* ceval.h: move eval_code() to new file eval.h, so compile.h is no
longer needed.
* ceval.c: move thread comments to ceval.h; always make save/restore
thread functions available (for dynloaded modules)
* cdmodule.c, listobject.c: don't include compile.h
* flmodule.c: include ceval.h
* import.c: include eval.h instead of ceval.h
* cgen.py: add forground(); noport(); winopen(""); to initgl().
* bltinmodule.c, socketmodule.c, fileobject.c, posixmodule.c,
selectmodule.c:
adapt to threads (add BGN/END SAVE macros)
* stdwinmodule.c: adapt to threads and use a special stdwin lock.
* pythonmain.c: don't include getpythonpath().
* pythonrun.c: use BGN/END SAVE instead of direct calls; also more
BGN/END SAVE calls etc.
* thread.c: bigger stack size for sun; change exit() to _exit()
* threadmodule.c: use BGN/END SAVE macros where possible
* timemodule.c: adapt better to threads; use BGN/END SAVE; add
longsleep internal function if BSD_TIME; cosmetics
