Fred Drake c392b570db Integrated an expanded version of some text from Neil Schemenauer about
supporting cyclic garbage collection.  (This is not all of it, but I'm
taking a break!)

Also fixed some markup nits.
2001-03-21 22:15:01 +00:00
Fred Drake 83e01bf6c8 Finally fill in the documentation for the PyDict_Next() function. It is
different enough to actually require an explanation.  ;-)

Fix a couple of PyDictObject* types that should be PyObject* types.

Guido van Rossum 1874c8f23b Document PyErr_WarnExplicit(). 2001-02-28 23:46:44 +00:00
Fred Drake a05460c148 PyTuple_*() functions take PyObject* parameters, not PyTupleObject* values.
This closes SF bug #131304.
2001-02-12 17:38:18 +00:00
Fred Drake f0e08ef9cb Remove an now-false statement about there being only one type flag
defined.

Fred Drake 5838d0fc84 Document the PyInstance_*() functions and data. 2001-01-28 06:39:35 +00:00
Fred Drake 5566c1ce36 Fixed a bunch of typos caught by Gilles Civario. 2001-01-19 22:48:33 +00:00
Marc-André Lemburg a544ea2354 Undoing the whitespace patches which sneaked into the earlier patch. 2001-01-17 18:04:31 +00:00
Marc-André Lemburg ad7c98e264 This patch adds a new builtin unistr() which behaves like str()
except that it always returns Unicode objects.

A new C API PyObject_Unicode() is also provided.

This closes patch #101664.

Fred Drake 316ef7c574 Markup nit: Command line options should be marked with \programopt. 2001-01-04 05:56:34 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 3dbb406335 Document Pyerr_Warn(). 2000-12-19 03:53:01 +00:00
Fred Drake 6b3f3f2861 In the first discussion showing how to handle exceptions from C, make the
Python equivalent actually equivalent to the C code.  Also, in the C code,
place the "goto" statements on a line by themselves for better visibility
of statements that affect control flow.

This closes bug #123398.
2000-11-29 15:48:22 +00:00
Fred Drake ee814bf2c9 Added documentation for the Py_InitModule*() family of functions. 2000-11-28 22:34:32 +00:00
Fred Drake 8902442e2f Added exception to the rule that the buffer returned by PyString_AsString()
and PyString_AsStringAndSize() for strings that were just created using
PyString_FromStringAndSize(NULL, n).

This closes bug #117377.

Added warning about passing NULL to the concrete object functions; many of
them use the appropriate Py<Type>_Check() test, but do not check for NULL.

"de-allocated" --> "deallocated"

Fred Drake 89fb035248 For PyErr_Format(), note that the exception parameter can be a string or
class, but not an instance (since an instance will be created using the
formatted message string as the constructor parameter).
2000-10-14 05:49:30 +00:00
Fred Drake 5d64421c23 Fix a couple of places where the descriptions of *_GET_SIZE() macros said
they were similar to *_GetSize(); should be similar to *_Size().

Error noted by William Park <parkw@better.net>.

Neil Schemenauer 410cb6be8f The _PyTuple_Resize() last_is_sticky flag must now always be false. 2000-10-05 19:38:24 +00:00

Fred Drake ed773ef78d Include the new text on reporting bugs in a few useful places.
This closes SourceForge bug #114792.
2000-09-21 21:35:22 +00:00
Marc-André Lemburg d1ba443206 This patch adds a new Python C API called PyString_AsStringAndSize()
which implements the automatic conversion from Unicode to a string
object using the default encoding.

The new API is then put to use to have eval() and exec accept
Unicode objects as code parameter. This closes bugs #110924
and #113890.

As side-effect, the traditional C APIs PyString_Size() and
PyString_AsString() will also accept Unicode objects as
parameters.
2000-09-19 21:04:18 +00:00
Guido van Rossum c96ec6ef2b Document new APIs PyOS_getsig() and PyOS_setsig().

Fred Drake f913e542be Vladimir Marangozov <Vladimir.Marangozov@inrialpes.fr>:
Here are some changes to the C API docs. The memory examples & API have
been updated because one malloc family is gone (Py_Malloc).
You'll see other small additions to the "building new types" section
for completeness and some cleanup at the end of the memory section.

Jeremy Hylton b709df3810 refactor __del__ exception handler into PyErr_WriteUnraisable
add sanity check to gc: if an exception occurs during GC, call
PyErr_WriteUnraisable and then call Py_FatalEror.

Fred Drake 510d08bfe4 In the section on the "Very High Level Layer", address concerns brought up
by Edward K. Ream <edream@users.sourceforge.net> about FILE* values and
incompatible C libraries in dynamically linked extensions.  It is not clear
(to me) how realistic the issue is, but it is better documented than not.

This closes SourceForge bug #111520.
2000-08-14 02:50:21 +00:00
Fred Drake a8d7341f63 PyRun_InteractiveOne(),
PyRun_InteractiveLoop():  Added descriptions.

                     about the right preprocessor symbol to use to protect
                     code that uses it.

2000-06-16 19:58:42 +00:00
Fred Drake 7357770153 Yet another markup nit: functions that are part of the Python/C API
are still C functions, and should be marked.
