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.

Guido van Rossum 4b8c0f6d7d More stuff discovered while writing the simplest of testcases:
tupledealloc(): only feed the free list when the type is really a
tuple, not a subtype.  Otherwise, use PyObject_GC_Del().

_PyTuple_Resize(): disallow using this for tuple subtypes.

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.

Thomas Wouters 6a922372ad _PyTuple_Resize: take into account the empty tuple. There can be only one.
Instead of raising a SystemError, just create a new tuple of the desired
size.

This fixes (at least) SF bug #420343.

Tim Peters d7ed3bf552 Speed tuple comparisons in two ways:
1. Omit the early-out EQ/NE "lengths different?" test.  Was unable to find
   any real code where it triggered, but it always costs.  The same is not
   true of list richcmps, where different-size lists appeared to get
   compared about half the time.
2. Because tuples are immutable, there's no need to refetch the lengths of
   both tuples from memory again on each loop trip.

BUG ALERT:  The tuple (and list) richcmp algorithm is arguably wrong,
because it won't believe there's any difference unless Py_EQ returns false
for some corresponding elements:

>>> class C:
...     def __lt__(x, y): return 1
...     __eq__ = __lt__
...
>>> C() < C()
1
>>> (C(),) < (C(),)
0
>>>

That doesn't make sense -- provided you believe the defn. of C makes sense.
2001-05-15 20:12:59 +00:00
Guido van Rossum f77bc62e73 Same treatment as listobject.c:
- tuplecontains(): call RichCompare(Py_EQ).

- Get rid of tuplecompare(), in favor of new tuplerichcompare() (a
  clone of list_compare()).

- Aligned the comments for large struct initializers.

Neil Schemenauer 08b53e6a2a Simplify _PyTuple_Resize by not using the tuple free list and dropping
support for the last_is_sticky flag.  A few hard to find bugs may be
fixed by this patch since the old code was buggy.

Jeremy Hylton c5007aa5c3 final patches from Neil Schemenauer for garbage collection 2000-06-30 05:02:53 +00:00
Jeremy Hylton d08b4c4524 part 2 of Neil Schemenauer's GC patches:
This patch modifies the type structures of objects that
participate in GC.  The object's tp_basicsize is increased when
GC is enabled.  GC information is prefixed to the object to
maintain binary compatibility.  GC objects also define the
tp_flag Py_TPFLAGS_GC.

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.

Guido van Rossum b18618dab7 Vladimir Marangozov's long-awaited malloc restructuring.
For more comments, read the patches@python.org archives.
For documentation read the comments in mymalloc.h and objimpl.h.

(This is not exactly what Vladimir posted to the patches list; I've
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.)

Jeremy Hylton 37b1a26c89 add list_contains and tuplecontains: efficient implementations of tp_contains 2000-04-27 21:41:03 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 5ce78f8e4e Patch by Charles G Waldman to avoid a sneaky memory leak in
_PyTuple_Resize().  In addition, a change suggested by Jeremy Hylton
to limit the size of the free lists is also merged into this patch.

Charles wrote initially:

"""
Test Case:  run the following code:

class Nothing:
    def __len__(self):
        return 5
    def __getitem__(self, i):
        if i < 3:
            return i
        else:
            raise IndexError, i

def g(a,*b,**c):
    return

for x in xrange(1000000):
    g(*Nothing())


and watch Python's memory use go up and up.


Diagnosis:

The analysis begins with the call to PySequence_Tuple at line 1641 in
ceval.c - the argument to g is seen to be a sequence but not a tuple,
so it needs to be converted from an abstract sequence to a concrete
tuple.  PySequence_Tuple starts off by creating a new tuple of length
5 (line 1122 in abstract.c).  Then at line 1149, since only 3 elements
were assigned, _PyTuple_Resize is called to make the 5-tuple into a
3-tuple.  When we're all done the 3-tuple is decrefed, but rather than
being freed it is placed on the free_tuples cache.

The basic problem is that the 3-tuples are being added to the cache
but never picked up again, since _PyTuple_Resize doesn't make use of
the free_tuples cache.  If you are resizing a 5-tuple to a 3-tuple and
there is already a 3-tuple in free_tuples[3], instead of using this
tuple, _PyTuple_Resize will realloc the 5-tuple to a 3-tuple.  It
would more efficient to use the existing 3-tuple and cache the
5-tuple.

By making _PyTuple_Resize aware of the free_tuples (just as
PyTuple_New), we not only save a few calls to realloc, but also
prevent this misbehavior whereby tuples are being added to the
free_tuples list but never properly "recycled".
"""

And later:

"""
This patch replaces my submission of Sun, 16 Apr and addresses Jeremy
Hylton's suggestions that we also limit the size of the free tuple
list.  I chose 2000 as the maximum number of tuples of any particular
size to save.

There was also a problem with the previous version of this patch
causing a core dump if Python was built with Py_TRACE_REFS.  This is
fixed in the below version of the patch, which uses tupledealloc
instead of _Py_Dealloc.

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.
