(in deallocation of running threads, for example), so the PyGILState_Release()
function must still be functional.
On the other hand, _PyGILState_Fini() only frees memory, and can be called later.
Backport candidate, but only after some experts comment on it.
I've finished the last task for the PCbuild9 directory today. I don't think there is much left to do. Now you can all play around with the shiny new VS 2008 and try the PGO builds. I was able to get a speed improvement of about 10% on py3k.
Have fun! :)
Correction for issue1265 (pdb bug with "with" statement).
When an unfinished generator-iterator is garbage collected, PyEval_EvalFrameEx
is called with a GeneratorExit exception set. This leads to funny results
if the sys.settrace function itself makes use of generators.
A visible effect is that the settrace function is reset to None.
Another is that the eventual "finally" block of the generator is not called.
It is necessary to save/restore the exception around the call to the trace
function.
This happens a lot with py3k: isinstance() of an ABCMeta instance runs
def __instancecheck__(cls, instance):
"""Override for isinstance(instance, cls)."""
return any(cls.__subclasscheck__(c)
for c in {instance.__class__, type(instance)})
which lets an opened generator expression each time it returns True.
Backport candidate, even if the case is less frequent in 2.5.
ever going back out to Python code in PyObject_Call(). Required introducing a
static RuntimeError instance so that normalizing an exception there is no
reliance on a recursive call that would put the exception system over the
recursion check itself.
object's co_consts tuple; add a test to show that the previous behavior (where
these two constants were "collapsed" into one) causes serious malfunctioning.
The value is always written to the returned pointer if getting it was
successful, even if a warning causes an error. (This probably doesn't matter
as the caller will probably discard the value.)
Will backport.
Py_ssize_t members.
Simplify the implementation of UnicodeError objects:
start and end attributes are now stored directly as
Py_ssize_t members, which simplifies various get and
set functions.
- Reenable modules on x64 that had been disabled aeons ago for Itanium.
- Cleared up confusion about compilers for 64 bit windows. There is only Itanium and x64. Added macros MS_WINI64 and MS_WINX64 for those rare cases where it matters, such as the disabling of modules above.
- Set target platform (_WIN32_WINNT and WINVER) to 0x0501 (XP) for x64, and 0x0400 (NT 4.0) otherwise, which are the targeted minimum platforms.
- Fixed thread_nt.h. The emulated InterlockedCompareExchange function didn´t work on x64, probaby due to the lack of a "volatile" specifier. Anyway, win95 is no longer a target platform.
- Itertools module used wrong constant to check for overflow in count()
- PyInt_AsSsize_t couldn't deal with attribute error when accessing the __long__ member.
- PyLong_FromSsize_t() incorrectly specified that the operand were unsigned.
With these changes, the x64 passes the testsuite, for those modules present.
The file should now follow PEP 7, except that it uses 4 space indents
(in the style of Py3k). This particular code would be really hard to
read with the regular tab idents.
Other changes:
- reflow long lines
- change multi-line conditionals to have test at end of line
* lines too long
* wrong indentation
* space after a function name
* wrong function name in error string
* simplifying some logic
Also add an error check to PyDict_SetItemString.
Patch #1591665: implement the __dir__() special function lookup in PyObject_Dir.
Had to change a few bits of the patch because classobjs and __methods__ are still
in Py2.6.
exception if the -i command line option or PYTHONINSPECT environment
variable is given, but break into the interactive interpreter just like
on other exceptions or normal program exit.
(backport)
* use %r instead of backticks since backticks are going away in Py3k
* PyArena_Malloc() already sets PyErr_NoMemory so we don't need to do it again
* the signature for ast2obj_int incorrectly used a bool, rather than a long
I can't think of an easy way to test this behavior. It only occurs
when the file system default encoding and the interpreter default
encoding are different, such that you can open the file but not decode
its name.
is specified at the top of the file. Also add a note that Python/Python-ast.c
needs to be committed separately after a change to the AST grammar to capture
the revision number of the change (which is what __version__ is set to).
The next step of PEP 352 (for 2.6) causes raising a string exception to trigger
a TypeError. Trying to catch a string exception raises a DeprecationWarning.
References to string exceptions has been removed from the docs since they are
now just an error.
When running the interpreter in an environment that would cause it to set
stdout/stderr/stdin's encoding, having a sitecustomize that would replace
them with something other than PyFile objects would crash the interpreter.
Fix it by simply ignoring the encoding-setting for non-files.
This could do with a test, but I can think of no maintainable and portable
way to test this bug, short of adding a sitecustomize.py to the buildsystem
and have it always run with it (hmmm....)
It seems like this should be a different error than SystemError, but
I don't have any great ideas and SystemError was raised in 2.4 and earlier.
Will backport.
some warnings from Klokwork. They verify the assumptions of the format
of svn version output.
The assert in the thread module helped debug a problem on HP-UX.
