with functionality needed for both unix-Python and MacPython and a
new smaller ./Mac/Python/macglue.c which contains MacPython stuff only.
pymactoolbox.h has moved to ./Include from ./Mac/Include and now also
contains the relevant stuff from macglue.h.
The net effect of this is that the ./Mac subdirectory is not needed
anymore for building the unix-Python core on MacOSX (it is needed
for building the extension modules).
This introduces:
- A new operator // that means floor division (the kind of division
where 1/2 is 0).
- The "future division" statement ("from __future__ import division)
which changes the meaning of the / operator to implement "true
division" (where 1/2 is 0.5).
- New overloadable operators __truediv__ and __floordiv__.
- New slots in the PyNumberMethods struct for true and floor division,
new abstract APIs for them, new opcodes, and so on.
I emphasize that without the future division statement, the semantics
of / will remain unchanged until Python 3.0.
Not yet implemented are warnings (default off) when / is used with int
or long arguments.
This has been on display since 7/31 as SF patch #443474.

It also adds two new APIs which hopefully make it easier for Python
to switch to buffer overflow safe [v]snprintf() APIs for error
reporting et al. The two new APIs are PyOS_snprintf() and
PyOS_vsnprintf() and work just like the standard ones in many
C libs. On platforms which have snprintf(), the native APIs are used,
on all other an emulation with snprintf() tries to do its best.
Fix suggested by Michael Hudson: Raise TypeError if attribute name
passed to getattr() is not a string or Unicode. There is some
unfortunate duplication of code between builtin_getattr() and
PyObject_GetAttr(), but it appears to be unavoidable.
And remove all the extern decls in the middle of .c files.
Apparently, it was excluded from the header file because it is

that 'yield' is a keyword. This doesn't help test_generators at all! I
don't know why not. These things do work now (and didn't before this
patch):
1. "from __future__ import generators" now works in a native shell.
2. Similarly "python -i xxx.py" now has generators enabled in the
shell if xxx.py had them enabled.
3. This program (which was my doctest proxy) works fine:
from __future__ import generators
source = """\
def f():
yield 1
"""
exec compile(source, "", "single") in globals()
print type(f())

enabled. Doesn't yet work because there's still no way to tell the parser
that "yield" is OK (unlike nested_scopes, the parser has its fingers in
this too).

release 2.2a1 on Wednesday.
Note: test_generators is currently broken, I'm counting on Tim to fix
this.
Probable fix (the bug report doesn't have enough info to say for sure).
find_init_module(): Insist on a case-sensitive match for __init__ files.
Given __INIT__.PY instead, find_init_module() thought that was fine, but
the later attempt to do find_module("__INIT__.PY") didn't and its caller
silently suppressed the resulting ImportError. Now find_init_module()
refuses to accept __INIT__.PY to begin with.
Bugfix candidate; specific to platforms with case-insensitive filesystems.
path (with no profile/trace function) through eval_code2() and
eval_frame() avoids several checks.
In the common cases of calls, returns, and exception propogation,
eval_code2() and eval_frame() used to test two values in the
thread-state: the profiling function and the tracing function. With
this change, a flag is set in the thread-state if either of these is
active, allowing a single check to suffice when both are NULL. This
also simplifies the code needed when either function is in use but is
already active (to avoid profiling/tracing the profiler/tracer); the
flag is set to 0 when the profile/trace code is entered, allowing the
same check to suffice for "already in the tracer" for call/return/
exception events.
"return expr" instances in generators (which latter may be generators
due to otherwise invisible "yield" stmts hiding in "if 0" blocks).
This was fun the first time, but this has gotten truly ugly now.
Python interpreter.
This change adds two new C-level APIs: PyEval_SetProfile() and
PyEval_SetTrace(). These can be used to install profile and trace
functions implemented in C, which can operate at much higher speeds
than Python-based functions. The overhead for calling a C-based
profile function is a very small fraction of a percent of the overhead
involved in calling a Python-based function.
The machinery required to call a Python-based profile or trace
function been moved to sysmodule.c, where sys.setprofile() and
sys.setprofile() simply become users of the new interface.
As a side effect, SF bug #436058 is fixed; there is no longer a
_PyTrace_Init() function to declare.
Implement sys.maxunicode.
Explicitly wrap around upper/lower computations for wide Py_UNICODE.
When decoding large characters with UTF-8, represent expected test

- the correct range for the error message is range(0x110000);
- put the 4-byte Unicode-size code inside the same else branch as the
2-byte code, rather generating unreachable code in the 2-byte case.
- Don't hide the 'else' behine the '}'.
(I would prefer that in 4-byte mode, any value should be accepted, but
reasonable people can argue about that, so I'll put that off.)
Add configure option --enable-unicode.
Add config.h macros Py_USING_UNICODE, PY_UNICODE_TYPE, Py_UNICODE_SIZE,

normalization as well. This whole file is a big war between tabs and spaces
but now is probably not the time to reindent everything.
NeilS, please check! This came from staring at your genbug.py, but I'm
not sure it plugs all possible holes. Without this, I caught a
frameobject refcount going negative, and it was also the cause (in debug
build) of _Py_ForgetReference's attempt to forget an object with already-
NULL _ob_prev and _ob_next pointers -- although I'm still not entirely
sure how! Part of the difficulty is that frameobjects are stored on a
free list that gets recycled very quickly, so if there's a stray pointer
to one of them it never looks like an insane frameobject (never goes
trough the free() mangling MS debug forces, etc).
and trace functions lazily, which incurs extra argument pushing and checks
in the C overhead for profiling/tracing, create the strings semi-lazily
when the Python code first registers a profile or trace function. This
simplifies the trampoline into the profile/trace functions.
Armin Rigo pointed out that the way the line-# table got built didn't work
for lines generating more than 255 bytes of bytecode. Fixed as he
suggested, plus corresponding changes to pyassem.py, plus added some
long overdue docs about this subtle table to compile.c.
Bugfix candidate (line numbers may be off in tracebacks under -O).
that should be used to cache an interned version of the event
string passed to the profile/trace function. call_trace() will
create interned strings and cache them in using the storage
specified by this additional parameter, avoiding a lot of string
object creation at runtime when using the profiling or tracing
functions.
All call sites are modified to pass the additional parameter, and four
static PyObject* variables are allocated to cache the interned string
objects.
This closes SF patch #431257.

I'm half tempted to macroize PyErr_Occurred too, as the whole thing could
collapse to just
_PyThreadState_Current->curexc_type
In the default branch, keep three ifs that are used if level == 0, the
most common case. Note that first if here is a slight optimization
for the 'O' format.
Second part of SF patch 426072.
Note that lots of code was re-indented.
Replace two-step of convertsimple() and convertsimple1() with
convertsimple() and helper converterr(), which is called to format
error messages when convertsimple() fails. The old code did all the
real work in convertsimple1(), but deferred error message formatting
to conversimple(). The result was paying the price of a second
function call on every call just to format error messages in the
failure cases.
Factor out of the buffer-handling code in convertsimple() and package
it as convertbuffer().
Add two macros to ease readability of Unicode coversions,
UNICODE_DEFAULT_ENCODING() and CONV_UNICODE, an error string.
The convertsimple() routine had awful indentation problems, primarily
because there were two tabs between the case line and the body of the
case statements. This patch reformats the entire function to have a
single tab between case line and case body, which makes the code
easier to read (and consistent with ceval). The introduction of
converterr() exacerbated the problem and prompted this fix.
Also, eliminate non-standard whitespace after opening paren and before
closing paren in a few if statements.
(This checkin is part of SF patch 426072.)

More AttributeErrors transmuted into TypeErrors, in test_b2.py, and,
again, this strikes me as a good thing.
This checkin completes the iterator generalization work that obviously
needed to be done. Can anyone think of others that should be changed?
NEEDS DOC CHANGES.
Possibly contentious: The first time s.next() yields StopIteration (for
a given map argument s) is the last time map() *tries* s.next(). That
is, if other sequence args are longer, s will never again contribute
anything but None values to the result, even if trying s.next() again
could yield another result. This is the same behavior map() used to have
wrt IndexError, so it's the only way to be wholly backward-compatible.
I'm not a fan of letting StopIteration mean "try again later" anyway.
Directory containing
Spam.py
spam/__init__.py
Then "import Spam" caused a SystemError, because code checking for
the existence of "Spam/__init__.py" finds it on a case-insensitive
filesystem, but then bails because the directory it finds it in
doesn't match case, and then old code assumed that was still an error
even though it isn't anymore. Changed the code to just continue
looking in this case (instead of calling it an error). So
import Spam
and
import spam
both work now.
Also a 2.1 bugfix candidate (am I supposed to do something with those?).
Took away map()'s insistence that sequences support __len__, and cleaned
up the convoluted code that made it *look* like it really cared about
__len__ (in fact the old ->len field was only *used* as a flag bit, as
the main loop only looked at its sign bit, setting the field to -1 when
IndexError got raised; renamed the field to ->saw_IndexError instead).
The new test case demonstrates the bug. Be more careful in
symtable_resolve_free() to add a var to cells or frees only if it
won't be added under some other rule.
XXX Add new assertion that will catch this bug.
sees it (test_iter.py is unchanged).
- Added a tp_iternext slot, which calls the iterator's next() method;
this is much faster for built-in iterators over built-in types
such as lists and dicts, speeding up pybench's ForLoop with about
25% compared to Python 2.1. (Now there's a good argument for
iterators. ;-)
- Renamed the built-in sequence iterator SeqIter, affecting the C API
functions for it. (This frees up the PyIter prefix for generic
iterator operations.)
- Added PyIter_Check(obj), which checks that obj's type has a
tp_iternext slot and that the proper feature flag is set.
- Added PyIter_Next(obj) which calls the tp_iternext slot. It has a
somewhat complex return condition due to the need for speed: when it
returns NULL, it may not have set an exception condition, meaning
the iterator is exhausted; when the exception StopIteration is set
(or a derived exception class), it means the same thing; any other
exception means some other error occurred.

Also update the recent fix by Ping using get_func_name(). Replace
tests of get_func_name() return value with call to get_func_desc() to
match all the other uses.
Calling an unbound method on a C extension class without providing
an instance can yield a segfault. Try "Exception.__init__()" or
"ValueError.__init__()".
This is a simple fix. The error-reporting bits in call_method
mistakenly treat the misleadingly-named variable "func" as a
function, when in fact it is a method.
If we let get_func_name take care of the work, all is fine.
Fix based on patch #414750 by Michael Hudson.
New functions get_func_name() and get_func_desc() return reasonable
names and descriptions for all objects. XXX Even objects that aren't
actually callable.

The code implicitly assumed that all ints fit in 4 bytes, causing all

Repaired that.
marshal.c
The int marshaling code assumed that right shifts of signed longs

Jeffery Collins pointed out that filterstring decrefs a character object
before it's done using it. This works by accident today because another
module always happens to have an active reference too at the time. The
accident doesn't work after his Pippy modifications, and since it *is*
an accident even in the mainline Python, it should work by design there too.
The patch accomplishes that.
but apparently he had to go to school, so I am checking it in for him.
This makes PyRun_HandleSystemExit() a static instead, called
handle_system_exit(), and let it use the current exception rather than

Update docstring and library reference section on 'sys' module.

To support these changes, many function variants have been added to

symtable_check_unoptimized() warns about import * and exec with "in"

symtable_check_shadow() warns about assignments in a function scope

always generate a warning -- and will behave differently with nested

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

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.

bypass the __import__ hook, these places must now use
PyImport_ImportModuleEx() instead. So far no other places than in
the import mechanism itself have been identified.
symtable.h, so that they can be used by external module.
Improve error handling in symtable_enter_scope(), which return an
error code that went unchecked by most callers. XXX The error handling
in symtable code is sloppy in general.
Modify symtable to record the line number that begins each scope.
This can help to identify which code block is being referred to when
multiple blocks are bound to the same name.
Add st_scopes dict that is used to preserve scope info when
PyNode_CompileSymtable() is called. Otherwise, this information is
tossed as soon as it is no longer needed.
Add Py_SymtableString() to pythonrun; analogous to Py_CompileString().
discussion on python-dev. 'from mod import *' is still banned except
at the module level.
Fix value for special NOOPT entry in symtable. Initialze to 0 instead
of None, so that later uses of PyInt_AS_LONG() are valid. (Bug
reported by Donn Cave.)
replace local REPR macros with PyObject_REPR in object.h
reference manual but not checked: Names bound by import statemants may
not occur in global statements in the same scope. The from ... import *
form may only occur in a module scope.
I guess these changes could break code, but the reference manual
warned about them.
Several other small changes
If a variable is declared global in the nearest enclosing scope of a
free variable, then treat it is a global in the nested scope too.
Get rid of com_mangle and symtable_mangle functions and call mangle
directly.
If errors occur during symtable table creation, return -1 from
symtable_build().
Do not increment st_errors in assignment to lambda, because exception
is not set.
Add extra argument to symtable_assign(); the argument, flag, is ORed
with DEF_LOCAL for each symtable_add_def() call.
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 suck up the remainder of the file in one
gulp: anyone who counted on that leaving the file pointer merely at the
end of the next object would be screwed. So restored
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.
except that it always returns Unicode objects.
A new C API PyObject_Unicode() is also provided.
This closes patch #101664.

- Use PyObject_RichCompare*() where possible: when comparing
keyword arguments, in _PyEval_SliceIndex(), and of course in
cmp_outcome().
Unrelated stuff:
- Removed all trailing whitespace.
- Folded some long lines.
message, and tries to make the messages more consistent and helpful when
the wrong number of arguments or duplicate keyword arguments are supplied.
Comes with more tests for test_extcall.py and and an update to an error
message in test/output/test_pyexpat.
re-initializing Python (Py_Finalize() followed by Py_Initialize()) to
blow up quickly. With the DECREF removed I can't get it to fail any
more. (Except it still leaks, but that's probably a separate issue.)
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.
- Make error messages from issubclass() and isinstance() a bit more
descriptive (Ping, modified by Guido)
- Couple of tiny fixes to other docstrings (Ping)
- Get rid of trailing whitespace (Guido)

an empty keywords dictionary (via apply() or the extended call syntax),
the keywords dict should be ignored. If the keywords dict is not empty,
TypeError should be raised. (Between the restructuring of the call
machinery and this patch, an empty dict in this situation would trigger
a SystemError via PyErr_BadInternalCall().)
Added regression tests to detect errors for this.
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.
the bug report (for details, look at it), but agree there's no need for Python
to declare atof itself: we #include stdlib.h, and ANSI C sez atof is declared
there already.
