Tim Peters 67754e993e Rehabilitated the fast-path richcmp code, and sped it up. It wasn't
helping for types that defined tp_richcmp but not tp_compare, although
that's when it's most valuable, and strings moved into that category
since the fast path was first introduced.  Now it helps for same-type
non-Instance objects that define rich or 3-way compares.

For all the edits here, the rest just amounts to moving the fast path from
do_richcmp into PyObject_RichCompare, saving a layer of function call
(measurable on my box!).  This loses when NESTING_LIMIT is exceeded, but I
don't care about that (fast-paths are for normal cases, not pathologies).

Also added a tasteful <wink> label to get out of PyObject_RichCompare, as
the if/else nesting in this routine was getting incomprehensible.

Guido van Rossum b8c65bc27f SF patch #470578: Fixes to synchronize unicode() and str()
This patch implements what we have discussed on python-dev late in
    September: str(obj) and unicode(obj) should behave similar, while
    the old behaviour is retained for unicode(obj, encoding, errors).

    The patch also adds a new feature with which objects can provide
    unicode(obj) with input data: the __unicode__ method. Currently no
    new tp_unicode slot is implemented; this is left as option for the
    future.

    Note that PyUnicode_FromEncodedObject() no longer accepts Unicode
    objects as input. The API name already suggests that Unicode
    objects do not belong in the list of acceptable objects and the
    functionality was only needed because
    PyUnicode_FromEncodedObject() was being used directly by
    unicode(). The latter was changed in the discussed way:

    * unicode(obj) calls PyObject_Unicode()
    * unicode(obj, encoding, errors) calls PyUnicode_FromEncodedObject()

    One thing left open to discussion is whether to leave the
    PyUnicode_FromObject() API as a thin API extension on top of
    PyUnicode_FromEncodedObject() or to turn it into a (macro) alias
    for PyObject_Unicode() and deprecate it. Doing so would have some
    surprising consequences though, e.g.  u"abc" + 123 would turn out
    as u"abc123"...

[Marc-Andre didn't have time to check this in before the deadline.  I
hope this is OK, Marc-Andre!  You can still make changes and commit
them on the trunk after the branch has been made, but then please mail
Barry a context diff if you want the change to be merged into the
2.2b1 release branch.  GvR]

Tim Peters c993315b18 SF bug [#468061] __str__ ignored in str subclass.
object.c, PyObject_Str:  Don't try to optimize anything except exact
string objects here; in particular, let str subclasses go thru tp_str,
same as non-str objects.  This allows overrides of tp_str to take
effect.

stringobject.c:
+ string_print (str's tp_print):  If the argument isn't an exact string
  object, get one from PyObject_Str.

+ string_str (str's tp_str):  Make a genuine-string copy of the object if
  it's of a proper str subclass type.  str() applied to a str subclass
  that doesn't override __str__ ends up here.

test_descr.py:  New str_of_str_subclass() test.

Tim Peters f2a67daca2 Guido suggests, and I agree, to insist that SIZEOF_VOID_P be a power of 2.
This simplifies the rounding in _PyObject_VAR_SIZE, allows to restore the
pre-rounding calling sequence, and allows some nice little simplifications
in its callers.  I'm still making it return a size_t, though.
2001-10-07 03:54:51 +00:00
Tim Peters 6d483d3477 _PyObject_VAR_SIZE: always round up to a multiple-of-pointer-size value.
As Guido suggested, this makes the new subclassing code substantially
simpler.  But the mechanics of doing it w/ C macro semantics are a mess,
and _PyObject_VAR_SIZE has a new calling sequence now.

Question:  The PyObject_NEW_VAR macro appears to be part of the public API.
Regardless of what it expands to, the notion that it has to round up the
memory it allocates is new, and extensions containing the old
PyObject_NEW_VAR macro expansion (which was embedded in the
PyObject_NEW_VAR expansion) won't do this rounding.  But the rounding
isn't actually *needed* except for new-style instances with dict pointers
after a variable-length blob of embedded data.  So my guess is that we do
not need to bump the API version for this (as the rounding isn't needed
for anything an extension can do unless it's recompiled anyway).  What's
your guess?
2001-10-06 21:27:34 +00:00
Tim Peters 7254e5a3ed _PyObject_GetDictPtr():
+ Use the _PyObject_VAR_SIZE macro to compute object size.
+ Break the computation into lines convenient for debugger inspection.
+ Speed the round-up-to-pointer-size computation.

Fred Drake b3f0d349b6 PyObject_ClearWeakRefs() is now a real function instead of a function pointer;
the implementation is in Objects/weakrefobject.c.

Guido van Rossum 2ed6bf87c9 Merge branch changes (coercion, rich comparisons) into trunk. 2001-09-27 20:30:07 +00:00
Guido van Rossum dd4d1c4f5d _PyObject_GetDictPtr(): when the offset is negative, always align --
we can't trust that tp_basicsize is aligned.  Fixes SF bug #462848.
2001-09-20 13:38:22 +00:00
Guido van Rossum ab3b0343b8 Hopefully fix 3-way comparisons. This unfortunately adds yet another
hack, and it's even more disgusting than a PyInstance_Check() call.
If the tp_compare slot is the slot used for overrides in Python,
it's always called.

Add some tests that show what should work too.
2001-09-18 20:38:53 +00:00
Tim Peters 305b5857f6 PyObject_Dir(): Merge in __members__ and __methods__ too (if they exist,
and are lists, and then just the string elements (if any)).

There are good and bad reasons for this.  The good reason is to support
dir() "like before" on objects of extension types that haven't migrated
to the class introspection API yet.  The bad reason is that Python's own
method objects are such a type, and this is the quickest way to get their
im_self etc attrs to "show up" via dir().  It looks much messier to move
them to the new scheme, as their current getattr implementation presents
a view of their attrs that's a untion of their own attrs plus their
im_func's attrs.  In particular, methodobject.__dict__ actually returns
methodobject.im_func.__dict__, and if that's important to preserve it
doesn't seem to fit the class introspection model at all.
2001-09-17 02:38:46 +00:00
Tim Peters bc7e863ce2 merge_class_dict(): Clear the error if __bases__ doesn't exist. 2001-09-16 20:33:22 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 5f5512d246 _PyObject_Dump(): print the type of the object. This is by far the
most frequently interesting information IMO.  Also tidy up the output.
2001-09-14 15:50:08 +00:00
Tim Peters 5a49ade70e More on SF bug [#460020] bug or feature: unicode() and subclasses.
Repaired str(i) to return a genuine string when i is an instance of a str
subclass.  New PyString_CheckExact() macro.
2001-09-11 01:41:59 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 8dbd3d8c50 PyObject_Dir():
- use PyModule_Check() instead of PyObject_TypeCheck(), now we can.
  - don't assert that the __dict__ gotten out of a module is always
    a dictionary; check its type, and raise an exception if it's not.
2001-09-10 18:27:43 +00:00
Tim Peters 7eea37e831 At Guido's suggestion, here's a new C API function, PyObject_Dir(), like
__builtin__.dir().  Moved the guts from bltinmodule.c to object.c.
2001-09-04 22:08:56 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 393661d15f Add warning mode for classic division, almost exactly as specified in
PEP 238.  Changes:

- add a new flag variable Py_DivisionWarningFlag, declared in
  pydebug.h, defined in object.c, set in main.c, and used in
  {int,long,float,complex}object.c.  When this flag is set, the
  classic division operator issues a DeprecationWarning message.

- add a new API PyRun_SimpleStringFlags() to match
  PyRun_SimpleString().  The main() function calls this so that
  commands run with -c can also benefit from -Dnew.

- While I was at it, I changed the usage message in main() somewhat:
  alphabetized the options, split it in *four* parts to fit in under
  512 bytes (not that I still believe this is necessary -- doc strings
  elsewhere are much longer), and perhaps most visibly, don't display
  the full list of options on each command line error.  Instead, the
  full list is only displayed when -h is used, and otherwise a brief
  reminder of -h is displayed.  When -h is used, write to stdout so
  that you can do `python -h | more'.

Notes:

- I don't want to use the -W option to control whether the classic
  division warning is issued or not, because the machinery to decide
  whether to display the warning or not is very expensive (it involves
  calling into the warnings.py module).  You can use -Werror to turn
  the warnings into exceptions though.

- The -Dnew option doesn't select future division for all of the
  program -- only for the __main__ module.  I don't know if I'll ever
  change this -- it would require changes to the .pyc file magic
  number to do it right, and a more global notion of compiler flags.

- You can usefully combine -Dwarn and -Dnew: this gives the __main__
  module new division, and warns about classic division everywhere
  else.

Guido van Rossum 21922aa939 PyObject_Repr(): add missing ">" back at end of format string: "<%s

Martin v. Löwis 339d0f720e Patch #445762: Support --disable-unicode
- Do not compile unicodeobject, unicodectype, and unicodedata if Unicode is disabled
- check for Py_USING_UNICODE in all places that use Unicode functions
- disables unicode literals, and the builtin functions
- add the types.StringTypes list
- remove Unicode literals from most tests.
2001-08-17 18:39:25 +00:00
Guido van Rossum ba21a49f9d Add a function _Py_ReadyTypes() which initializes various and sundry
types -- currently Type, List, None and NotImplemented.  To be called
from Py_Initialize() instead of accumulating calls there.

Also rename type(None) to NoneType and type(NotImplemented) to
NotImplementedType -- naming the type identical to the object was
confusing.
2001-08-16 08:17:26 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 82fc51c19c Update to MvL's patch #424475 to avoid returning 2 when tp_compare
returns that.  (This fix is also by MvL; checkin it in because I want
to make more changes here.  I'm still not 100% satisfied -- see
comments attached to the patch.)
2001-08-16 08:02:45 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 528b7eb0b0 - Rename PyType_InitDict() to PyType_Ready().
- Add an explicit call to PyType_Ready(&PyList_Type) to pythonrun.c
  (just for the heck of it, really -- we should either explicitly
  ready all types, or none).

Tim Peters 6d6c1a35e0 Merge of descr-branch back into trunk. 2001-08-02 04:15:00 +00:00
Jeremy Hylton 3ce45389bd Add _PyUnicode_AsDefaultEncodedString to unicodeobject.h.
And remove all the extern decls in the middle of .c files.
Apparently, it was excluded from the header file because it is
intended for internal use by the interpreter.  It's still intended for
internal use and documented as such in the header file.
2001-07-30 22:34:24 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 3c29602d74 _Py_GetObjects(): GCC suggests to add () around && within || for some
code only compiled in debug mode, and I dutifully comply.

Martin v. Löwis 0163d6d6ef Patch #424475: Speed-up tp_compare usage, by special-casing the common
case of objects with equal types which support tp_compare. Give
type objects a tp_compare function.
Also add c<0 tests before a few PyErr_Occurred tests.

Tim Peters 6d60b2e762 SF bug #422108 - Error in rich comparisons.
2.1.1 bugfix candidate too.
Fix a bad (albeit unlikely) return value in try_rich_to_3way_compare().
Also document do_cmp()'s return values.
2001-05-07 20:53:51 +00:00
Tim Peters de9725f135 Make 'x in y' and 'x not in y' (PySequence_Contains) play nice w/ iterators.
NEEDS DOC CHANGES
A few more AttributeErrors turned into TypeErrors, but in test_contains
this time.
The full story for instance objects is pretty much unexplainable, because
instance_contains() tries its own flavor of iteration-based containment
testing first, and PySequence_Contains doesn't get a chance at it unless
instance_contains() blows up.  A consequence is that
    some_complex_number in some_instance
dies with a TypeError unless some_instance.__class__ defines __iter__ but
does not define __getitem__.
2001-05-05 10:06:17 +00:00
Fred Drake 6aebded915 The weakref support in PyObject_InitVar() as well; this should have come out
at the same time as it did from PyObject_Init() .
2001-05-03 20:04:33 +00:00
Fred Drake ba40ec42c8 Remove unnecessary intialization for the case of weakly-referencable objects;
the code necessary to accomplish this is simpler and faster if confined to
the object implementations, so we only do this there.

This causes no behaviorial changes beyond a (very slight) speedup.
2001-05-03 19:44:50 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 4f288ab7d6 Printing objects to a real file still wasn't done right: if the
object's type didn't define tp_print, there were still cases where the
full "print uses str() which falls back to repr()" semantics weren't
honored.  This resulted in

    >>> print None
    <None object at 0x80bd674>
    >>> print type(u'')
    <type object at 0x80c0a80>

Fixed this by always using the appropriate PyObject_Repr() or
PyObject_Str() call, rather than trying to emulate what they would do.

Also simplified PyObject_Str() to always fall back on PyObject_Repr()
when tp_str is not defined (rather than making an extra check for
instances with a __str__ method).  And got rid of the special case for
strings.
2001-05-01 16:53:37 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 3a80c4a29c (Adding this to the trunk as well.)
Fix a very old flaw in PyObject_Print().  Amazing!  When an object
type defines tp_str but not tp_repr, 'print x' to a real file
object would not call the tp_str slot but rather print a default style
representation: <foo object at 0x....>.  This even though 'print x' to
a file-like-object would correctly call the tp_str slot.
2001-04-27 21:35:01 +00:00

Fred Drake b60654bc15 The return value from PyObject_ClearWeakRefs() is no longer meaningful,
so make it void.
2001-02-26 18:56:37 +00:00
Barry Warsaw eefb107a48 _PyObject_Dump(): If argument is NULL, print "NULL" instead of
crashing.
2001-02-22 22:39:18 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 2da0ea82ba In try_3way_to_rich_compare(), swap the call to default_3way_compare()
and the test for errors, so that an error in the default compare
doesn't go undetected.  This fixes SF Bug #132933 (submitted by
effbot) -- list.sort doesn't detect comparision errors.

2001-01-24 04:18:13 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 903138f775 PyObject_Dump(): Use %p format to print the address of the pointer.

2001-01-23 16:33:18 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 9bf16440f4 A few miscellaneous helpers.
PyObject_Dump(): New function that is useful when debugging Python's C
runtime.  In something like gdb it can be a pain to get some useful
information out of PyObject*'s.  This function prints the str() of the
object to stderr, along with the object's refcount and hex address.

PyGC_Dump(): Similar to PyObject_Dump() but knows how to cast from the
garbage collector prefix back to the PyObject* structure.

[See Misc/gdbinit for some useful gdb hooks]

none_dealloc(): Rather than SEGV if we accidentally decref None out of
existance, we assign None's and NotImplemented's destructor slot to
this function, which just calls abort().
2001-01-23 16:24:35 +00:00
