Guido van Rossum 048eb75c2d Add Garbage Collection support to new-style classes (not yet to their
instances).

Also added GC support to various auxiliary types: super, property,
descriptors, wrappers, dictproxy.  (Only type objects have a tp_clear
field; the other types are.)

One change was necessary to the GC infrastructure.  We have statically
allocated type objects that don't have a GC header (and can't easily
be given one) and heap-allocated type objects that do have a GC
header.  Giving these different metatypes would be really ugly: I
tried, and I had to modify pickle.py, cPickle.c, copy.py, add a new
invent a new name for the new metatype and make it a built-in, change
affected tests...  In short, a mess.  So instead, we add a new type
slot tp_is_gc, which is a simple Boolean function that determines
whether a particular instance has GC headers or not.  This slot is
only relevant for types that have the (new) GC flag bit set.  If the
tp_is_gc slot is NULL (by far the most common case), all instances of
the type are deemed to have GC headers.  This slot is called by the
PyObject_IS_GC() macro (which is only used twice, both times in
gcmodule.c).

I also changed the extern declarations for a bunch of GC-related
functions (_PyObject_GC_Del etc.): these always exist but objimpl.h
only declared them when WITH_CYCLE_GC was defined, but I needed to be
able to reference them without #ifdefs.  (When WITH_CYCLE_GC is not
defined, they do the same as their non-GC counterparts anyway.)

Neil Schemenauer 49417e76d5 Fix the names of _PyObject_GC_TRACK and _PyObject_GC_UNTRACK when the GC is
disabled.  Obviously everyone enables the GC. :-)

Neil Schemenauer 74b5ade6b8 Change the GC type flag since the API has changed. Allow types using
the old flag to still compile.  Remove the PyType_BASICSIZE and
PyType_SET_BASICSIZE macros.  Add PyObject_GC_New, PyObject_GC_NewVar,
PyObject_GC_Resize, PyObject_GC_Del, PyObject_GC_Track,
PyObject_GC_UnTrack.  Part of SF patch #421893.

Fred Drake 4e262a9631 A small change to the C API for weakly-referencable types: Such types
must now initialize the extra field used by the weak-ref machinery to
NULL themselves, to avoid having to require PyObject_INIT() to check
if the type supports weak references and do it there.  This causes less
work to be done for all objects (the type object does not need to be
consulted to check for the Py_TPFLAGS_HAVE_WEAKREFS bit).

Neil Schemenauer a35c688055 Add Vladimir Marangozov's object allocator. It is disabled by default. This
closes SF patch #401229.

Fred Drake 033f31270c Use a type flag to determine the applicability of the tp_weaklistoffset
field.  This should avoid binary incompatibility problems with older modules
that have not been recompiled.

Thomas Wouters 334fb8985b Use 'void' directly instead of the ANY #define, now that all code is ANSI C.
Leave the actual #define in for API compatibility.

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.

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.)

Guido van Rossum caa6380886 The great renaming, phase two: all header files have been updated to
use the new names exclusively, and the linker will see the new names.
Files that import "Python.h" also only see the new names.  Files that
import "allobjects.h" will continue to be able to use the old names,
due to the inclusion (in allobjects.h) of "rename2.h".

Guido van Rossum 5799b52008 Added 1995 copyright.

stringobject.h: make getstrsize() signed int.
methodobject.h: add METH_VARARGS and METH_FREENAME flag bit definitions.

Guido van Rossum a3309960a5 * Added support for X11 modules.
* Makefile: change location of FORMS library.
* posixmodule.c: turn #if 0 into #ifdef MSDOS (stuff in unistd.h or not)

  to support inclusion from C++.
1993-07-28 09:05:47 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 9bfef44d97 * Changed all copyright messages to include 1993.
* Stubs for faster implementation of local variables (not yet finished)
* Added function name to code object.  Print it for code and function
  objects.  THIS MAKES THE .PYC FILE FORMAT INCOMPATIBLE (the version
  number has changed accordingly)
* Print address of self for built-in methods
* New internal functions getattro and setattro (getattr/setattr with
  string object arg)
* Replaced "dictobject" with more powerful "mappingobject"
* New per-type functio tp_hash to implement arbitrary object hashing,
  and hashobject() to interface to it

* classobject: made some functions static that accidentally weren't;
  added __hash__ special instance method to implement hash()
* Added proper comparison for built-in methods and functions
