Michael Hudson suggested this fox for the Tru64 problem (SF bug
232597). It looks reasonable, it works on Tru64, and it doesn't beak
anything on Linux, so I say go for it.
of 2-space and 4-space indents. Whatever, when I saw the checkin diff it
was clear that what my editor thinks a tab means didn't match this module's
belief. Removed all the tabs from the lines I added and changed, left
everything else alone.
pickled into the signed(!) 4-byte BININT format, so were getting unpickled
again as negative ints. Repaired that.
Added some minimal docs at the top about what I've learned about the pickle
format codes (little of which was obvious from staring at the code,
although that's partly because all the size-related bugs greatly obscured
the true intent of the code).
Happy side effect: because save_int() needed to grow a *proper* range
check in order to fix this bug, it can now use the more-efficient BININT1,
BININT2 and BININT formats when the long's value is small enough to fit
in a signed 4-byte int (before this, on a sizeof(long)==8 box it always
used the general INT format for negative ints).
test_cpickle works again on sizeof(long)==8 machines. test_pickle is
still busted big-time.
binary pickle, and the latter contains a pickle of a negative Python
int i written on a sizeof(long)==4 box (and whether by cPickle or
pickle.py), it's read incorrectly as i + 2**32. The patch repairs that,
and allows test_cpickle.py (to which I added a relevant test case earlier
today) to work again on sizeof(long)==8 boxes.
There's another (at least one) sizeof(long)==8 binary pickle bug, but in
pickle.py instead. That bug is still there, and test_pickle.py doesn't
catch it yet (try pickling and unpickling, e.g., 1 << 46).
where sizeof(long)==8. This *was* broken on boxes where signed right
shifts didn't sign-extend, but not elsewhere. Unfortunately, apart
from the Cray T3E I don't know of such a box, and Guido has so far
refused to buy me any Cray machines for home Python testing <wink>.
More immediately interesting would be if someone could please test
this on *any* sizeof(long)==8 box, to make sure I didn't break it.
handling of EAGAIN.
This may or may not fix the problem for me (Mandrake 7.2 on a Dell
Optiplex GX110 desktop): I can't hear the output, but it does pass the
test now. It doesn't fix the problem for Fred (Mandrake 7.2 on a Dell
Inspiron 7500 which has the Maestro sound drivers). Fred suspects
that it's the kernel version in combination with the driver.

tracked as soon as it is clear; this can decrease the number of roots for
the cycle detector sooner rather than later in applications which hold on
to weak references beyond the time of the invalidation.
If a module has a future statement enabling nested scopes, they are
also enable for the exec statement and the functions compile() and
execfile() if they occur in the module.
If Python is run with the -i option, which enters interactive mode
after executing a script, and the script it runs enables nested
scopes, they are also enabled in interactive mode.
XXX The use of -i with -c "from __future__ import nested_scopes" is
not supported. What's the point?
To support these changes, many function variants have been added to
pythonrun.c. All the variants names end with Flags and they take an
extra PyCompilerFlags * argument. It is possible that this complexity
will be eliminated in a future version of the interpreter in which
nested scopes are not optional.
with free variables. Thanks to Martin v. Loewis for finding two of
the problems. This fixes SF buf 405583.
There is also a C API change: PyFrame_New() is reverting to its
pre-2.1 signature. The change introduced by nested scopes was a
mistake. XXX Is this okay between beta releases?
cell_clear(), the GC helper, must decref its reference to break
cycles.
frame_dealloc() must dealloc all cell vars and free vars in addition
to locals.
eval_code2() setup code must INCREF cells it copies out of the
closure.
The STORE_DEREF opcode implementation must DECREF the object it passes
to PyCell_Set().
these can be missing on some (all?) Irix and Tru64 versions.
Protect the CRTSCTS value with a cast; this can be a larger value on

This should fix SF tracker items #405092, #405350, and #405355.

Solaris also does not define CBAUDEX; it is not clear that CBAUDEXT
(which is defined there) is the same thing, so we only protect against
the lack of CBAUDEX.
Reported by Greg V. Wilson.
Fixed recno support (keys are integers rather than strings).
Work around DB bug that cause stdin to be closed by rnopen() when the
DB file needed to exist but did not (no longer segfaults).
This closes SF tracker patch #403445.
Also wrapped some long lines and added whitespace around operators -- FLD.
