Tim Peters b38e2b61b3 Trimmed trailing whitespace. 2004-07-29 02:29:26 +00:00
Tim Peters 3986d4e660 PyList_New(): we went to all the trouble of computing and bounds-checking
the size_t nbytes, and passed nbytes to malloc, so it was confusing to
effectively recompute the same thing from scratch in the memset call.

Raymond Hettinger 0e91643bd2 list_resize() now has an "exact" option for bypassing the overallocation
scheme in situations that likely won't benefit from it.  This further
improves memory utilization from Py2.3 which always over-allocates
except for PyList_New().

Situations expected to benefit from over-allocation:
    list.insert(), list.pop(), list.append(), and list.extend()

Situations deemed unlikely to benefit:
    list_inplace_repeat, list_ass_slice, list_ass_subscript

The most gray area was for listextend_internal() which only runs
when the argument is a list or a tuple.  This could be viewed as
a one-time fixed length addition or it could be viewed as wrapping
a series of appends.  I left its over-allocation turned on but
could be convinced otherwise.

Raymond Hettinger c1e4f9dd92 Use a new macro, PySequence_Fast_ITEMS to factor out code common to

Raymond Hettinger 57c4542bcd Now that list.extend() is at the root of many list operations, it becomes
worth it to in-line the call to PyIter_Next().

Saves another 15% on most list operations that acceptable a general
iterable argument (such as the list constructor).

Raymond Hettinger 8ca92ae54c Eliminate a big block of duplicate code in PySequence_List() by

2004-03-11 09:13:12 +00:00
Raymond Hettinger 97bc618229 list_inplace_concat() is now expressed in terms of list_extend() which
avoids creating an intermediate tuple for iterable arguments other than
lists or tuples.

In other words, a+=b no longer requires extra memory when b is not a
list or tuple.  The list and tuple cases are unchanged.

Raymond Hettinger 66d31f8f38 Use memcpy() instead of memmove() when the buffers are known to be distinct. 2004-03-10 11:44:04 +00:00
Raymond Hettinger ef9bf4031a Tidied up the implementations of reversed (including the custom ones
for xrange and list objects).

* list.__reversed__ now checks the length of the sequence object before
  calling PyList_GET_ITEM() because the mutable could have changed length.

* all three implementations are now tranparent with respect to length and
  maintain the invariant len(it) == len(list(it)) even when the underlying
  sequence mutates.

* __builtin__.reversed() now frees the underlying sequence as soon
  as the iterator is exhausted.

* the code paths were rearranged so that the most common paths
  do not require a jump.

Raymond Hettinger f889e10c19 Optimize slice assignments.
* Replace sprintf message with a constant message string -- this error
  message ran on every invocation except straight deletions but it was
  only needed when the rhs was not iterable.  The message was also
  out-of-date and did not reflect that iterable arguments were allowed.

* For inner loops that do not make ref count adjustments, use memmove()
  for fast copying and better readability.

* For inner loops that do make ref count adjustments, speed them up by
  factoring out the constant structure reference and using vitem[] instead.

Raymond Hettinger b7d05db0be Optimize tuple_slice() and make further improvements to list_slice()
and list.extend().  Factoring the inner loops to remove the constant

Raymond Hettinger 99842b6534 Small optimizations for list_slice() and list_extend_internal().
* Using addition instead of substraction on array indices allows the

  PySequenceFast_GET_ITEM which has to make a list check on every pass.

Raymond Hettinger 90a39bf12c Refactor list_extend() and list_fill() for gains in code size, memory
utilization, and speed:

* Moved the responsibility for emptying the previous list from list_fill
  to list_init.

* Replaced the code in list_extend with the superior code from list_fill.

* Eliminated list_fill.

Results:

* list.extend() no longer creates an intermediate tuple except to handle
  the special case of x.extend(x).  The saves memory and time.

* list.extend(x) runs
    5 to 10% faster when x is a list or tuple
    15% faster when x is an iterable not defining __len__
    twice as fast when x is an iterable defining __len__

* the code is about 15 lines shorter and no longer duplicates
  functionality.

Raymond Hettinger ab517d2eac Fine tune the speed/space trade-off for overallocating small lists.
The Py2.3 approach overallocated small lists by up to 8 elements.
The last checkin would limited this to one but slowed down (by 20 to 30%)
the creation of small lists between 3 to 8 elements.

This tune-up balances the two, limiting overallocation to 3 elements
(significantly reducing space consumption from Py2.3) and running faster
than the previous checkin.

The first part of the growth pattern (0, 4, 8, 16) neatly meshes with
allocators that trigger data movement only when crossing a power of two
boundary.  Also, then even numbers mesh well with common data alignments.

Raymond Hettinger cb3e580ebc Optimize list.pop() for the common special case of popping off the end.
More than doubles its speed.
2004-02-13 18:36:31 +00:00
Raymond Hettinger 4bb9540dd6 * Optimized list appends and pops by making fewer calls the underlying system
realloc().  This is achieved by tracking the overallocation size in a new
  field and using that information to skip calls to realloc() whenever
  possible.

* Simplified and tightened the amount of overallocation.  For larger lists,
  this overallocates by 1/8th (compared to the previous scheme which ranged
  between 1/4th to 1/32nd over-allocation).  For smaller lists (n<6), the
  maximum overallocation is one byte (formerly it could be upto eight bytes).
  This saves memory in applications with large numbers of small lists.

* Eliminated the NRESIZE macro in favor of a new, static list_resize function
  that encapsulates the resizing logic.  Coverting this back to macro would
  give a small (under 1%) speed-up.  This was too small to warrant the loss
  of readability, maintainability, and de-coupling.

* Some functions using NRESIZE had grown unnecessarily complex in their
  efforts to bend to the macro's calling pattern.  With the new list_resize
  function in place, those other functions could be simplified.  That is
  being saved for a separate patch.

* The ob_item==NULL check could be eliminated from the new list_resize
  function.  This would entail finding each piece of code that sets ob_item
  to NULL and adding a new line to invalidate the overallocation tracking
  field.  Rather than impose a new requirement on other pieces of list code,
  it was preferred to leave the NULL check in place and retain the benefits
  of decoupling, maintainability and information hiding (only PyList_New()
  and list_sort() need to know about the new field).  This approach also
  reduces the odds of breaking an extension module.

 and Armin Rigo.)

Formerly, length data fetched from sequence objects.

Andrew MacIntyre 694e3a4a9d use the correct macro to access list size 2003-12-26 00:09:04 +00:00
Andrew MacIntyre d57caed52c Performance of list([]) in 2.3 came up in a thread on comp.lang.python,
which can be reviewed via
http://coding.derkeiler.com/Archive/Python/comp.lang.python/2003-12/1011.html

Duncan Booth investigated, and discovered that an "optimisation" was
in fact a pessimisation for small numbers of elements in a source list,
compared to not having the optimisation, although with large numbers
of elements in the source list the optimisation was quite beneficial.

He posted his change to comp.lang.python (but not to SF).

Further research has confirmed his assessment that the optimisation only
becomes a net win when the source list has more than 100 elements.

I also found that the optimisation could apply to tuples as well,
but the gains only arrive with source tuples larger than about 320
elements and are nowhere near as significant as the gains with lists,
(~95% gain @ 10000 elements for lists, ~20% gain @ 10000 elements for
tuples) so I haven't proceeded with this.

The code as it was applied the optimisation to list subclasses as
well, and this also appears to be a net loss for all reasonable sized
sources (~80-100% for up to 100 elements, ~20% for more than 500
elements; I tested up to 10000 elements).

Duncan also suggested special casing empty lists, which I've extended
to all empty sequences.

On the basis that list_fill() is only ever called with a list for the
result argument, testing for the source being the destination has
now happens before testing source types.

Raymond Hettinger 686b14d7ad SF bug #730296: Unexpected Changes in list Iterator
Reverted a Py2.3b1 change to iterator in subclasses of list and tuple.
They had been changed to use __getitem__ whenever it had been overriden
in the subclass.

This caused some usabilty and performance problems.  Also, it was
inconsistent with the rest of python where many container methods
access the underlying object directly without first checking for
an overridden getter.  Users needing a change in iterator behavior
should override it directly.

As a side issue on this bug, it was noted that list and tuple iterators

__getitem__ overrides.  If the method is overridden, the patch returns
a generic sequence iterator which calls the __getitem__ method; otherwise,
it returns a high custom iterator with direct access to container elements.

Tim Peters e05f65a0c6 1. Combined the base and length arrays into a single array of structs.
This is friendlier for caches.

2. Cut MIN_GALLOP to 7, but added a per-sort min_gallop vrbl that adapts
   the "get into galloping mode" threshold higher when galloping isn't
   paying, and lower when it is.  There's no known case where this hurts.
   It's (of course) neutral for /sort, \sort and =sort.  It also happens
   to be neutral for !sort.  It cuts a tiny # of compares in 3sort and +sort.
   For *sort, it reduces the # of compares to better than what this used to
   do when MIN_GALLOP was hardcoded to 10 (it did about 0.1% more *sort
   compares before, but given how close we are to the limit, this is "a
   lot"!).  %sort used to do about 1.5% more compares, and ~sort about
   3.6% more.  Here are exact counts:

Tim Peters 6063e2615f PyList_Reverse(): This was leaking a reference to Py_None on every call.
I believe I introduced this bug when I refactored the reversal code so
that the mergesort could use it too.  It's not a problem on the 2.2 branch.

Tim Peters 66860f6da4 Sped the usual case for sorting by calling PyObject_RichCompareBool
directly when no comparison function is specified.  This saves a layer
of function call on every compare then.  Measured speedups:

 i    2**i  *sort  \sort  /sort  3sort  +sort  %sort  ~sort  =sort  !sort
15   32768  12.5%   0.0%   0.0% 100.0%   0.0%  50.0% 100.0% 100.0% -50.0%
16   65536   8.7%   0.0%   0.0%   0.0%   0.0%   0.0%  12.5%   0.0%   0.0%
17  131072   8.0%  25.0%   0.0%  25.0%   0.0%  14.3%   5.9%   0.0%   0.0%
18  262144   6.3% -10.0%  12.5%  11.1%   0.0%   6.3%   5.6%  12.5%   0.0%
19  524288   5.3%   5.9%   0.0%   5.6%   0.0%   5.9%   5.4%   0.0%   2.9%
20 1048576   5.3%   2.9%   2.9%   5.1%   2.8%   1.3%   5.9%   2.9%   4.2%

The best indicators are those that take significant time (larger i), and
where sort doesn't do very few compares (so *sort and ~sort benefit most
reliably).  The large numbers are due to roundoff noise combined with
platform variability; e.g., the 14.3% speedup for %sort at i=17 reflects
a printed elapsed time of 0.18 seconds falling to 0.17, but a change in
the last digit isn't really meaningful (indeed, if it really took 0.175
seconds, one electron having a lazy nanosecond could shift it to either
value <wink>).  Similarly the 25% at 3sort i=17 was a meaningless change
from 0.05 to 0.04.  However, almost all the "meaningless changes" were
in the same direction, which is good.  The before-and-after times for
*sort are clearest:

before after
  0.18  0.16
  0.25  0.23
  0.54  0.50
  1.18  1.11
  2.57  2.44
  5.58  5.30

Tim Peters 330f9e9581 More sort cleanup: Moved the special cases from samplesortslice into
listsort.  If the former calls itself recursively, they're a waste of
time, since it's called on a random permutation of a random subset of
elements.  OTOH, for exactly the same reason, they're an immeasurably
small waste of time (the odds of finding exploitable order in a random
permutation are ~= 0, so the special-case loops looking for order give
up quickly).  The point is more for conceptual clarity.
Also changed some "assert comments" into real asserts; when this code
was first written, Python.h didn't supply assert.h.

Tim Peters 326b44871e listreverse(): Don't call the new reverse_slice unless the list

2002-07-19 04:04:16 +00:00
Tim Peters a8c974c157 Cleanup yielding a small speed boost: before rich comparisons were
introduced, list.sort() was rewritten to use only the "< or not <?"
distinction.  After rich comparisons were introduced, docompare() was
fiddled to translate a Py_LT Boolean result into the old "-1 for <,
0 for ==, 1 for >" flavor of outcome, and the sorting code was left
alone.  This left things more obscure than they should be, and turns
out it also cost measurable cycles.

So:  The old CMPERROR novelty is gone.  docompare() is renamed to islt(),
and now has the same return conditinos as PyObject_RichCompareBool.  The
SETK macro is renamed to ISLT, and is even weirder than before (don't
complain unless you want to maintain the sort code <wink>).

Overall, this yields a 1-2% speedup in the usual (no explicit function
passed to list.sort()) case when sorting arrays of floats (as sortperf.py
does).  The boost is higher for arrays of ints.

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.

2002-07-13 03:51:17 +00:00
Tim Peters f2a0473350 docompare(): Use PyTuple_New instead of Py_BuildValue to build compare's
arg tuple.  This was suggested on c.l.py but afraid I can't find the msg
again for proper attribution.  For

    list.sort(cmp)

where list is a list of random ints, and cmp is __builtin__.cmp, this
yields an overall 50-60% speedup on my Win2K box.  Of course this is a
best case, because the overhead of calling cmp relative to the cost of
actually comparing two ints is at an extreme.  Nevertheless it's huge
bang for the buck.  An additionak 20-30% can be bought by making the arg
tuple an immortal static (avoiding all but "the first" PyTuple_New), but
that's tricky to make correct since docompare needs to be reentrant.  So
this picks the cherry and leaves the pits for Fred <wink>.

Note that this makes no difference to the

    list.sort()

case; an arg tuple gets built only if the user specifies an explicit
sort function.

2002-03-28 20:34:59 +00:00
Guido van Rossum dbb53d9918 Fix of SF bug #475877 (Mutable subtype instances are hashable).
Rather than tweaking the inheritance of type object slots (which turns
out to be too messy to try), this fix adds a __hash__ to the list and
dict types (the only mutable types I'm aware of) that explicitly
raises an error.  This has the advantage that list.__hash__([]) also
raises an error (previously, this would invoke object.__hash__([]),
returning the argument's address); ditto for dict.__hash__.

The disadvantage for this fix is that 3rd party mutable types aren't
automatically fixed.  This should be added to the rules for creating
subclassable extension types: if you don't want your object to be
hashable, add a tp_hash function that raises an exception.

Also, it's possible that I've forgotten about other mutable types for
which this should be done.
2001-12-03 16:32:18 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 9475a2310d Enable GC for new-style instances. This touches lots of files, since
many types were subclassable but had a xxx_dealloc function that
called PyObject_DEL(self) directly instead of deferring to
self->ob_type->tp_free(self).  It is permissible to set tp_free in the
type object directly to _PyObject_Del, for non-GC types, or to
_PyObject_GC_Del, for GC types.  Still, PyObject_DEL was a tad faster,
so I'm fearing that our pystone rating is going down again.  I'm not
sure if doing something like

void xxx_dealloc(PyObject *self)
{
	if (PyXxxCheckExact(self))
		PyObject_DEL(self);
	else
		self->ob_type->tp_free(self);
}

is any faster than always calling the else branch, so I haven't
attempted that -- however those types whose own dealloc is fancier
(int, float, unicode) do use this pattern.

Tim Peters a7259597f1 SF bug 433228: repr(list) woes when len(list) big.
Gave Python linear-time repr() implementations for dicts, lists, strings.
This means, e.g., that repr(range(50000)) is no longer 50x slower than
pprint.pprint() in 2.2 <wink>.

I don't consider this a bugfix candidate, as it's a performance boost.

Added _PyString_Join() to the internal string API.  If we want that in the
public API, fine, but then it requires runtime error checks instead of
asserts.

Tim Peters 65b8b84839 roundupsize() and friends: fiddle over-allocation strategy for list
resizing.

Accurate timings are impossible on my Win98SE box, but this is obviously
faster even on this box for reasonable list.append() cases.  I give
credit for this not to the resizing strategy but to getting rid of integer
multiplication and divsion (in favor of shifting) when computing the
rounded-up size.

For unreasonable list.append() cases, Win98SE now displays linear behavior
for one-at-time appends up to a list with about 35 million elements.  Then
it dies with a MemoryError, due to fatally fragmented *address space*
(there's plenty of VM available, but by this point Win9X has broken user
space into many distinct heaps none of which has enough contiguous space
left to resize the list, and for whatever reason Win9x isn't coalescing
the dead heaps).  Before the patch it got a MemoryError for the same
reason, but once the list reached about 2 million elements.

Haven't yet tried on Win2K but have high hopes extreme list.append()
will be much better behaved now (NT & Win2K didn't fragment address space,
but suffered obvious quadratic-time behavior before as lists got large).

For other systems I'm relying on common sense:  replacing integer * and /
by << and >> can't plausibly hurt, the number of function calls hasn't
changed, and the total operation count for reasonably small lists is about
the same (while the operations are cheaper now).

Guido van Rossum 65e1cea6e3 Convert to rich comparisons:
- sort's docompare() calls RichCompare(Py_LT).

- list_contains(), list_index(), listcount(), listremove() call
  RichCompare(Py_EQ).

- Get rid of list_compare(), in favor of new list_richcompare().  The
  latter does some nice shortcuts, like when == or != is requested, it
  first compares the lengths for trivial accept/reject.  Then it goes
  over the items until it finds an index where the items differe; then
  it does more shortcut magic to minimize the number of additional
  comparisons.

- Aligned the comments for large struct initializers.

Fred Drake 56780257c6 Thomas Wouters <thomas@xs4all.net>:
The following patch adds "sq_contains" support to rangeobject, and enables
the already-written support for sq_contains in listobject and tupleobject.

The rangeobject "contains" code should be a bit more efficient than the
current default "in" implementation ;-) It might not get used much, but it's
not that much to add.

listobject.c and tupleobject.c already had code for sq_contains, and the
proper struct member was set, but the PyType structure was not extended to
include tp_flags, so the object-specific code was not getting called (Go
ahead, test it ;-). I also did this for the immutable_list_type in
listobject.c, eventhough it is probably never used. Symmetry and all that.

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.)
2000-05-03 23:44:39 +00:00
Jeremy Hylton 37b1a26c89 add list_contains and tuplecontains: efficient implementations of tp_contains 2000-04-27 21:41:03 +00:00
Guido van Rossum d724b23420 Christian Tismer's "trashcan" patch:
Added wrapping macros to dictobject.c, listobject.c, tupleobject.c,
frameobject.c, traceback.c that safely prevends core dumps
on stack overflow. Macros and functions in object.c, object.h.
The method is an "elevator destructor" that turns cascading
deletes into tail recursive behavior when some limit is hit.
2000-03-13 16:01:29 +00:00
Guido van Rossum ef93b87f1c Added Christian Tismer's patch to allow list.append(a,b,c) back --
with a twist: you have to define NO_STRICT_LIST_APPEND manually
to enable multi-arg append().
2000-03-13 15:41:59 +00:00
Guido van Rossum c00a938be8 OKOK, Greg's right, I should've used the :name option in the argument
format strings.
2000-02-24 21:48:29 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 4aa24f9979 Made all list methods use PyArg_ParseTuple(), for more accurate
diagnostics.

*** INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: This changes append(), remove(), index(), and
*** count() to require exactly one argument -- previously, multiple
*** arguments were silently assumed to be a tuple.
2000-02-24 15:23:03 +00:00
Guido van Rossum bffd683f73 The rest of the changes by Trent Mick and Dale Nagata for warning-free
compilation on NT Alpha.  Mostly added casts etc.
2000-01-20 22:32:56 +00:00
Guido van Rossum fa71701d46 When deallocating a list, DECREF the items from the end back to the start. 1999-06-09 15:19:34 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 9bcd1d7931 Improve text of some error messages, as suggested by Sean Reifschneider. 1999-04-19 17:44:39 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 3aa23fdd47 Jim Ahlstrom patch: cutoff should be a long for machines with 16-bit
ints.  (In theory, other variables should be widened to long as well,
but this won't ever be needed, since the len of a list is still an
int.)
1999-01-14 19:01:53 +00:00
Barry Warsaw dedf6d6804 listextend(): New method which implements L.extend(L2). 1998-10-09 16:37:25 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 2ccaf6f2f9 Remove a redundant check from list_slice() and list_ass_slice().
Noted by Greg Stein.
1998-10-07 13:24:13 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 3dd7f3fef0 Added doc strings for methods and a new pop() method. 1998-06-30 15:36:32 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 4281258b5f Minor cleanup by Tim after my changes:
+ Took the "list" argument out of the other functions that no longer need
it.  This speeds things up a little more.

+ Small comment changes in accord with that.

+ Exploited the now-safe ability to cache values in the partitioning loop.
Makes no timing difference on my flavor of Pentium, but this machine ran out
of registers 12 iterations ago.  It should yield a small speedup on a RISC
machine, and not hurt in any case.
1998-06-17 14:15:44 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 4c4e7df755 Tim's latest, with some of my changes (also a TP suggestion) added:
instead of testing whether the list changed size after each
comparison, temporarily set the type of the list to an immutable list
type.  This should allow continued use of the list for legitimate
purposes but disallows all operations that can change it in any way.
(Changes to the internals of list items are not caught, of cause;
that's not possible to detect, and it's not necessary to protect the
sort code, either.)
1998-06-16 15:18:28 +00:00
Guido van Rossum a119c0dd5e Tim's revision of the previous patch. He also added some sparts to
the median-of-three code to get a few percent back.
1998-05-29 17:56:32 +00:00
Guido van Rossum ae621ff7b7 Guard against changes in the list size during a compare or sort. 1998-05-28 20:18:46 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 9be628338d Tim's quicksort on May 25. 1998-05-26 15:06:32 +00:00
Guido van Rossum ed7adcff73 Tim's quicksort on May 13. 1998-05-13 21:21:24 +00:00
Guido van Rossum b7057640d1 Tim's quicksort on May 10. 1998-05-13 21:20:49 +00:00
Guido van Rossum e32907df67 Get rid of the unused ifdefed-out old sort code. 1998-04-28 17:54:03 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 82e6a8f80d Quicksort retuned by Tim Peters. 1998-04-28 13:17:56 +00:00
Guido van Rossum fb376dee55 Use Py_Repr{Enter,Leave} to display recursive lists in finite space.
(Jeremy will hardly recognize his patch :-)
1998-04-10 22:47:27 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 044b9dc1d7 Add back some safeguards on the index elements that were lost in the
last patch.  Dave Ascher found a case that dumps core without these:

def myComparison(x,y):
    return cmp(x%3,y%7)

z = range(12)
z.sort(myComparison)
1998-02-25 17:50:03 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 24e62e2c7c Modified quicksort by Raymund Galvin, after studying the GNU libg++
quicksort.  This should be much faster if there are lots of
duplicates, and otherwise at least as good.
1997-12-10 15:14:24 +00:00
Guido van Rossum a27d112213 Rename roundup() to roundupsize(), as there's a macro roundup() in the
sys/types.h header on many systems that may get pulled in (through
WANT_SIGFPE_HANDLER which pulls in signal.h).
1997-08-25 18:36:23 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 5d8123f34a Reordered list of methods to hopefully put the most frequently used
ones near the front.
1997-07-13 03:58:01 +00:00
Guido van Rossum c8b6df9004 PyObject_Compare can raise an exception now. 1997-05-23 00:06:51 +00:00
Guido van Rossum c0b618a2cc Quickly renamed the last directory. 1997-05-02 03:12:38 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 2095d24842 Tweaks to keep the Microsoft compiler quiet. 1997-04-09 19:41:24 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 19700b6a98 Add casts to CMPERROR macro to silence SunPro compiler warnings about
integer overflow in << operator.
1997-03-05 00:45:43 +00:00
Guido van Rossum cc15b42e59 Change comment about MINSIZE -- 10 is optimal for Python. 1996-12-16 03:32:39 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 3176bb1df2 Some more tuning of quicksort: use pointers instead of indexing. 1996-12-11 23:57:39 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 3f236dee3a Added new quicksort implementation, tailored to sorting arrays of
object pointers.  Should be a bit faster than the C library's qsort(),
and doesn't have the prohibition on recursion that Solaris qsort() has
in the threaded version of their C library.

Thanks to discussions with Tim Peters.
1996-12-10 23:55:39 +00:00
Guido van Rossum d266eb460e New permission notice, includes CNRI. 1996-10-25 14:44:06 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 929f1b83ea Use pre-created string objects for most common exceptions
(especially IndexError which is caught by 'for')
1996-08-09 20:51:27 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 1311e3ce73 args to call_object must be tuple or NULL 1995-07-12 02:22:06 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 5fe605889a a few peephole optimizations 1995-03-09 12:12:50 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 295d171650 explicitly init flags in methodlists 1995-02-19 15:55:19 +00:00
Guido van Rossum a46d51d9a4 round up list item counts to improve realloc performance 1995-01-26 22:59:43 +00:00
Jack Jansen 7874d1fe7e Fix NULL dereference in case of out-of-memory condition 1995-01-19 12:09:27 +00:00
Guido van Rossum b0fe3a9312 added reverselist; free recycling bin on error exit 1995-01-17 16:34:45 +00:00
Guido van Rossum ae7bf1a5e7 fix reentrancy bug in slice assignment 1995-01-17 10:21:11 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 6610ad9d6b Added 1995 to copyright message.
floatobject.c: fix hash().
methodobject.c: support METH_FREENAME flag bit.
1995-01-04 19:07:38 +00:00
Guido van Rossum d7047b395e Lots of minor changes. Note for mappingobject.c: the hash table pointer
can now be NULL.
1995-01-02 19:07:15 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 6cd2fe043b Correct problems found by THINK C 6.0 1994-08-29 12:45:32 +00:00
Guido van Rossum a3d78fb268 * posixmodule.c: added set{uid,gid}.
* {tuple,list,mapping,array}object.c: call printobject with 0 for flags
* compile.c (parsestr): use quote instead of '\'' at one crucial point
* arraymodule.c (array_getattr): Added __members__ attribute
1993-11-10 09:23:53 +00:00
Guido van Rossum dc4b93db70 * listobject.c (list_ass_slice): XDECREF instead of DECREF so
setlistslice() can be used to cut the unused part out of a freshly made
  slice (as done by bagof()).  [needed by the next mod!]
* structural changes to bagof(), map() etc.
1993-10-27 14:56:44 +00:00
Sjoerd Mullender a9c3c22c33 * Extended X interface: pixmap objects, colormap objects visual objects,
image objects, and lots of new methods.
* Added counting of allocations and deallocations of builtin types if
  COUNT_ALLOCS is defined.  Had to move calls to NEWREF down in some
  files.
* Bug fix in sorting lists.
1993-10-11 12:54:31 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 1fc238a813 Minor fixes / changes for Mac compatibility. 1993-07-29 08:25:09 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 234f942aef * Added gmtime/localtime/mktime and SYSV timezone globals to timemodule.c.
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().
1993-06-17 12:35:49 +00:00
Guido van Rossum bf80e5407f * stdwinmodule.c: various new commands: setwin{pos,size},
listfontnames, bitmap ops.
* listobject.c: use mkvalue() when possible; avoid weird error when
  calling append() without args.
* modsupport.c: new feature in getargs(): if the format string
  contains a semicolor the string after that is used as the error
  message instead of "bad argument list (format %s)" when there's an
  error.
1993-02-08 15:49:17 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 34679b7661 * Added Fixcprt.py: script to fix copyright message.

Guido van Rossum a2b7f40513 * Configure.py: use #!/usr/local/bin/python
* posixmodule.c: move extern function declarations to top
* listobject.c: cmp() arguments must be void* if __STDC__
* Makefile, allobjects.h, panelmodule.c, modsupport.c: get rid of
  strdup() -- it is a portability risk
* Makefile: enclosed ranlib command in parentheses for Sequent Make
  which aborts if the command is not found even if '-' is present
* timemodule.c: time() returns a floating point number, in microsecond
  precision if BSD_TIME is defined.
1993-01-04 09:09:59 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 7066dd75c5 * Makefile: added IMGFILE; moved some stuff around.
* 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.
1992-09-17 17:54:56 +00:00
Guido van Rossum ba3690cd09 Remove outdated warning in comments. 1992-09-03 20:44:36 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 1e28e5e596 * renamed malloc.h mymalloc.h, and added MALLARG as the type of the
argument to malloc() (size_t or unsigned int)

* listobject.c: check for overflow of the size of the object,
  so things like range(0x7fffffff) will raise MemoryError instead
  of calling malloc() with -4 (and then crashing -- malloc's fault)
1992-08-19 16:46:30 +00:00
Guido van Rossum ff4949eeee * Makefile: cosmetics
* 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
1992-08-05 19:58:53 +00:00
Guido van Rossum e10a19ea6d listobject.c: added optional cmp function to list.sort(). 1992-08-03 19:05:37 +00:00
Guido van Rossum bab9d03855 Copyright for 1992 added 1992-04-05 14:26:55 +00:00
