Neal Norwitz ffe33b7f24 Attempt to make all the various string *strip methods the same.
* Doc - add doc for when functions were added
 * UserString
 * string object methods
 * string module functions
'chars' is used for the last parameter everywhere.

These changes will be backported, since part of the changes
have already been made, but they were inconsistent.

Guido van Rossum a7132189d2 Reformat a few docstrings that caused line wraps in help() output. 2003-04-09 19:32:45 +00:00
Walter Dörwald 43440a621e Fix PyString_Format() so that '%c' % u'a' returns u'a'
instead of raising a TypeError. (From SF patch #710127)

Add tests to verify this is fixed.

Add various tests for '%c' % int.

Guido van Rossum 5d9113d8be Implement appropriate __getnewargs__ for all immutable subclassable builtin
types.  The special handling for these can now be removed from save_newobj().
Add some testing for this.

Also add support for setting the 'fast' flag on the Python Pickler class,
which suppresses use of the memo.

Raymond Hettinger 5d5e7c0e34 SF patch #664192 bug #661913: inconsistent error messages between string
and unicode

Patch by Christopher Blunck.

Raymond Hettinger 0a2f849b79 GvR's idea to use memset() for the most common special case of repeating
a single character.  Shaves another 10% off the running time by avoiding
the lg2(N) loops and cache effects for the other cases.
2003-01-06 22:42:41 +00:00
Raymond Hettinger 698258a199 Optimize string_repeat.
Christian Tismer pointed out the high cost of the loop overhead and
function call overhead for 'c' * n where n is large.  Accordingly,
the new code only makes lg2(n) loops.

Interestingly, 'c' * 1000 * 1000 ran a bit faster with old code.  At some
point, the loop and function call overhead became cheaper than invalidating
the cache with lengthy memcpys.  But for more typical sizes of n, the new
code runs much faster and for larger values of n it runs only a bit slower.

Raymond Hettinger ea3fdf44a2 SF patch #659536: Use PyArg_UnpackTuple where possible.
Obtain cleaner coding and a system wide
performance boost by using the fast, pre-parsed
PyArg_Unpack function instead of PyArg_ParseTuple
function which is driven by a format string.

Neil Schemenauer a6cd4e65d7 Add nb_remainder (i.e. __mod__) slot to str type. Fixes SF bug #615506. 2002-11-18 16:09:38 +00:00
Neal Norwitz 80a1bf4b5d Fix SF # 635969, No error "not all arguments converted"
When mwh added extended slicing, strings and unicode became mappings.
Thus, dict was set which prevented an error when doing:
	newstr = 'format without a percent' % string_value

This fix raises an exception again when there are no formats
and % with a string value.

Martin v. Löwis a5f0907d79 Back out #479898. 2002-10-11 05:37:59 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 049cd6b563 Fix a nasty endcase reported by Armin Rigo in SF bug 618623:
'%2147483647d' % -123 segfaults.  This was because an integer overflow
in a comparison caused the string resize to be skipped.  After fixing
the overflow, this could call _PyString_Resize() with a negative size,
so I (1) test for that and raise MemoryError instead; (2) also added a
test for negative newsize to _PyString_Resize(), raising SystemError
as for all bad arguments.

An identical bug existed in unicodeobject.c, of course.

Will backport to 2.2.2.
2002-10-11 00:43:48 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 8052f8921e Undo this part of the previous checkin:
Also fixed an error message -- %s argument has non-string str()
  doesn't make sense for %r, so the error message now differentiates
  between %s and %r.

because PyObject_Repr() and PyObject_Str() ensure that this can never
happen.  Added a helpful comment instead.
2002-10-09 19:14:30 +00:00
Guido van Rossum b00c07f038 The string formatting code has a test to switch to Unicode when %s
sees a Unicode argument.  Unfortunately this test was also executed
for %r, because %s and %r share almost all of their code.  This meant
that, if u is a unicode object while repr(u) is an 8-bit string
containing ASCII characters, '%r' % u is a *unicode* string containing
only ASCII characters!

Fixed by executing the test only for %s.

Also fixed an error message -- %s argument has non-string str()
doesn't make sense for %r, so the error message now differentiates
between %s and %r.

Walter Dörwald 8709a420c4 Check whether a string resize is necessary at the end
of PyString_DecodeEscape(). This prevents a call to
_PyString_Resize() for the empty string, which would
result in a PyErr_BadInternalCall(), because the
empty string has more than one reference.

This closes SF bug http://www.python.org/sf/603937

Guido van Rossum bf935fde15 string_contains(): speed up by avoiding function calls where
possible.  This always called PyUnicode_Check() and PyString_Check(),
at least one of which would call PyType_IsSubtype().  Also, this would
call PyString_Size() on known string objects.

Guido van Rossum 8b1a6d694f Code by Inyeol Lee, submitted to SF bug 595350, to implement

Guido van Rossum 76afbd9aa4 Fix some endcase bugs in unicode rfind()/rindex() and endswith().
These were reported and fixed by Inyeol Lee in SF bug 595350.  The
endswith() bug was already fixed in 2.3, but this adds some more test
cases.

Guido van Rossum 45ec02aed1 SF patch 576101, by Oren Tirosh: alternative implementation of
interning.  I modified Oren's patch significantly, but the basic idea
and most of the implementation is unchanged.  Interned strings created
with PyString_InternInPlace() are now mortal, and you must keep a
reference to the resulting string around; use the new function
PyString_InternImmortal() to create immortal interned strings.

Guido van Rossum e3a8e7ed1d Call me anal, but there was a particular phrase that was speading to
comments everywhere that bugged me: /* Foo is inlined */ instead of
/* Inline Foo */.  Somehow the "is inlined" phrase always confused me
for half a second (thinking, "No it isn't" until I added the missing
"here").  The new phrase is hopefully unambiguous.

Martin v. Löwis 8a8da798a5 Patch #505705: Remove eval in pickle and cPickle. 2002-08-14 07:46:28 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 078151da90 Implement stage B0 of PEP 237: add warnings for operations that
currently return inconsistent results for ints and longs; in
particular: hex/oct/%u/%o/%x/%X of negative short ints, and x<<n that
either loses bits or changes sign.  (No warnings for repr() of a long,
though that will also change to lose the trailing 'L' eventually.)

This introduces some warnings in the test suite; I'll take care of
those later.

Jeremy Hylton 938ace69a0 staticforward bites the dust.
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.
2002-07-17 16:30:39 +00:00
Tim Peters 3459251d5a object.h special-build macro minefield: renamed all the new lexical
helper macros to something saner, and used them appropriately in other
files too, to reduce #ifdef blocks.

classobject.c, instance_dealloc():  One of my worst Python Memories is
trying to fix this routine a few years ago when COUNT_ALLOCS was defined
but Py_TRACE_REFS wasn't.  The special-build code here is way too
complicated.  Now it's much simpler.  Difference:  in a Py_TRACE_REFS
build, the instance is no longer in the doubly-linked list of live
objects while its __del__ method is executing, and that may be visible
via sys.getobjects() called from a __del__ method.  Tough -- the object
is presumed dead while its __del__ is executing anyway, and not calling
_Py_NewReference() at the start allows enormous code simplification.

typeobject.c, call_finalizer():  The special-build instance_dealloc()
pain apparently spread to here too via cut-'n-paste, and this is much
simpler now too.  In addition, I didn't understand why this routine
was calling _PyObject_GC_TRACK() after a resurrection, since there's no
plausible way _PyObject_GC_UNTRACK() could have been called on the
object by this point.  I suspect it was left over from pasting the
instance_delloc() code.  Instead asserted that the object is still
tracked.  Caution:  I suspect we don't have a test that actually
exercises the subtype_dealloc() __del__-resurrected-me code.

Neal Norwitz 32a7e7f6b6 Change name from string to basestring 2002-05-31 19:58:02 +00:00
Guido van Rossum cacfc07d08 - A new type object, 'string', is added. This is a common base type
for 'str' and 'unicode', and can be used instead of
  types.StringTypes, e.g. to test whether something is "a string":
  isinstance(x, string) is True for Unicode and 8-bit strings.  This
  is an abstract base class and cannot be instantiated directly.

2002-05-13 09:00:41 +00:00
Tim Peters 5de9842b34 Repair widespread misuse of _PyString_Resize. Since it's clear people
don't understand how this function works, also beefed up the docs.  The
most common usage error is of this form (often spread out across gotos):

	if (_PyString_Resize(&s, n) < 0) {
		Py_DECREF(s);
		s = NULL;
		goto outtahere;
	}

The error is that if _PyString_Resize runs out of memory, it automatically
decrefs the input string object s (which also deallocates it, since its
refcount must be 1 upon entry), and sets s to NULL.  So if the "if"
branch ever triggers, it's an error to call Py_DECREF(s):  s is already
NULL!  A correct way to write the above is the simpler (and intended)

	if (_PyString_Resize(&s, n) < 0)
		goto outtahere;

Bugfix candidate.
