The real change is to pass (bufsz - 1) to PyOS_ascii_formatd and 1
to strncat. strncat copies n+1 bytes from src (not dest).
Reported by Klocwork #58.
The problem of checking too eagerly for recursive calls is the
following: if a RuntimeError is caused by recursion, and if code needs
to normalize it immediately (as in the 2nd test), then
PyErr_NormalizeException() needs a call to the RuntimeError class to
instantiate it, and this hits the recursion limit again... causing
PyErr_NormalizeException() to never finish.
Moved this particular recursion check to slot_tp_call(), which is not
involved in instantiating built-in exceptions.
Backport candidate.
arguments in reverse, the interpreter would infinitely recourse trying to get a
coercion that worked. So put in a recursion check after a coercion is made and
the next call to attempt to use the coerced values.
Fixes bug #992017 and closes crashers/coerce.py .
the char buffer was requested. Now it actually returns the char buffer if
available or raises a TypeError if it isn't (as is raised for the other buffer
types if they are not present but requested).
Not a backport candidate since it does change semantics of the buffer object
(although it could be argued this is enough of a bug to bother backporting).
Give a consistent behavior for comparison and hashing of method objects
(both user- and built-in methods). Now compares the 'self' recursively.
The hash was already asking for the hash of 'self'.
to each allocated block. This was using 4 bytes for each such
piece of info regardless of platform. This didn't really matter
before (proof: no bug reports, and the debug-build obmalloc would
have assert-failed if it was ever asked for a chunk of memory
>= 2**32 bytes), since container indices were plain ints. But after
the Py_ssize_t changes, it's at least theoretically possible to
allocate a list or string whose guts exceed 2**32 bytes, and the
PYMALLOC_DEBUG routines would fail then (having only 4 bytes
to record the originally requested size).
Now we use sizeof(size_t) bytes for each of a PYMALLOC_DEBUG
build's extra debugging fields. This won't make any difference
on 32-bit boxes, but will add 16 bytes to each allocation in
a debug build on a 64-bit box.
he didn't know this), so merged in some changes I made during
review. Nothing material apart from changing a new `mask` local
from int to Py_ssize_t. Mostly this is repairing comments that
were made incorrect, and adding new comments. Also a few
minor code rewrites for clarity or helpful succinctness.
a new comment) suggests there are almost certainly large input
integers in all non-binary input bases for which one Python digit
too few is initally allocated to hold the final result. Instead
of assert-failing when that happens, allocate more space. Alas,
I estimate it would take a few days to find a specific such case,
so this isn't backed up by a new test (not to mention that such
a case may take hours to run, since conversion time is quadratic
in the number of digits, and preliminary attempts suggested that
the smallest such inputs contain at least a million digits).
Make some functions that should have been static static.
Fix a bunch of refleaks by fixing the definition of
MiddlingExtendsException.
Remove all the __new__ implementations apart from
BaseException_new. Rewrite most code that needs it to cope with
NULL fields (such code could get excercised anyway, the
__new__-removal just makes it more likely). This involved
editing the code for WindowsError, which I can't test.
This fixes all the refleaks in at least the start of a regrtest
-R :: run.
Fix a number of problems with the need for speed code:
One is doing this sort of thing:
Py_DECREF(self->field);
self->field = newval;
Py_INCREF(self->field);
without being very sure that self->field doesn't start with a
value that has a __del__, because that almost certainly can lead
to segfaults.
As self->args is constrained to be an exact tuple we may as well
exploit this fact consistently. This leads to quite a lot of
simplification (and, hey, probably better performance).
Add some error checking in places lacking it.
Fix some rather strange indentation in the Unicode code.
Delete some trailing whitespace.
More to come, I haven't fixed all the reference leaks yet...
(If compiled without FAST search support, changed the pre-memcmp test
to check the last character as well as the first. This gave a 25%
speedup for my test case.)
Rewrote the split algorithms so they stop when maxsplit gets to 0.
Previously they did a string match first then checked if the maxsplit
was reached. The new way prevents a needless string search.
results list.
Originally it allocated 0 items and used the list growth during append. Now
it preallocates 12 items so the first few appends don't need list reallocs.
("Here are some words ."*2).split(None, 1) is 7% faster
("Here are some words ."*2).split() is is 15% faster
(Your milage may vary, see dealership for details.)
File parsing like this
for line in f:
count += len(line.split())
is also about 15% faster. There is a slowdown of about 3% for large
strings because of the additional overhead of checking if the append is
to a preallocated region of the list or not. This will be the rare case.
It could be improved with special case code but we decided it was not
useful enough.
There is a cost of 12*sizeof(PyObject *) bytes per list. For the normal
case of file parsing this is not a problem because of the lists have
a short lifetime. We have not come up with cases where this is a problem
in real life.
I chose 12 because human text averages about 11 words per line in books,
one of my data sets averages 6.2 words with a final peak at 11 words per
line, and I work with a tab delimited data set with 8 tabs per line (or
9 words per line). 12 encompasses all of these.
Also changed the last rstrip code to append then reverse, rather than
doing insert(0). The strip() and rstrip() times are now comparable.
this is on par with a corresponding find, and nearly twice as fast
as split(sep, 1)

The SIGCHECK macro defined here has always been bizarre, but
it apparently causes compiler warnings on "Sun Studio 11".
I believe the warnings are bogus, but it doesn't hurt to make
the macro definition saner.
Bugfix candidate (but I'm not going to bother).
made a copy of the string using PyString_FromStringAndSize(s, n) and modify
the copied string in-place. However, 1 (and 0) character strings are shared
from a cache. This cause "A".replace("A", "a") to change the cached version
of "A" -- used by everyone.
Now may the copy with NULL as the string and do the memcpy manually. I've
added regression tests to check if this happens in the future. Perhaps
there should be a PyString_Copy for this case?

cut its size by 64 entries (they had been used for an inscrutable
trick originally, but the code no longer tries to use that trick).

speed up splitlines and strip with charsets; etc. rsplit is now as
fast as split in all our tests (reverse takes no time at all), and
splitlines() is nearly as fast as a plain split("\n") in our tests.
and we're not done yet... ;-)
Applied patch zombie-frames-2.diff from sf patch 876206 with updates for
Python 2.5 and also modified to retain the free_list to avoid the 67%
slow-down in pybench recursion test. 5% speed up in function call pybench.
compiler warnings on Windows (signed vs unsigned mismatch
in comparisons). Cleaned that up by switching more locals
to Py_ssize_t. Simplified overflow checking (it can _be_
simpler because while these things are declared as
Py_ssize_t, then should in fact never be negative).
about "%u", "%lu" and "%zu" formats.
Since PyString_FromFormat and PyErr_Format have exactly the same rules
(both inherited from PyString_FromFormatV), it would be good if someone
with more LaTeX Fu changed one of them to just point to the other.
Their docs were way out of synch before this patch, and I just did a
mass copy+paste to repair that.
Not a backport candidate (this is a new feature).
longobject.c: also fix an ssize_t problem
<a> could have been NULL, so hoist the size calc to not use <a>.
_ssl.c: under fail: self is DECREF'd, but it would have been NULL.
_elementtree.c: delete self if there was an error.
_csv.c: I'm not sure if lineterminator could have been anything other than
a string. However, other string method calls are checked, so check this
one too.
discussion.
There are two places of documentation that still mention __context__:
Doc/lib/libstdtypes.tex -- I wasn't quite sure how to rewrite that without
spending a whole lot of time thinking about it; and whatsnew, which Andrew
usually likes to change himself.
__delitem__, __setslice__ and __delslice__ hooks. This caused test_weakref
and test_userlist to fail in the p3yk branch (where UserList, like all
classes, is new-style) on amd64 systems, with open-ended slices: the
sys.maxint value for empty-endpoint was transformed into -1.
zfill stringmethods, so they can create strings larger than 2Gb on 64bit
systems (even win64.) The unicode versions of these methods already did this
right.
slot_tp_del(), but while the latter had to cater to types
that don't participate in GC, we know that generators do.
That allows strengthing an assert().
using a custom, nearly-identical macro. This probably changes how some of
these functions are compiled, which may result in fractionally slower (or
faster) execution. Considering the nature of traversal, visiting much of the
address space in unpredictable patterns, I'd argue the code readability and
maintainability is well worth it ;P
- In functions where we already hold the same object in differently typed
pointers, use the correctly typed pointer instead of casting the other
pointer a second time.
objects before initializing it. It might be linked
already if there was a Py_Initialize/Py_Finalize
cycle earlier; not unlinking it would break the global
list.
Py_VISIT: cast the `op` argument to PyObject* when calling
`visit()`. Else the caller has to pay too much attention to
this silly detail (e.g., frame_traverse needs to traverse
`struct _frame *` and `PyCodeObject *` pointers too).
problems: first, PyGen_NeedsFinalizing() had an off-by-one bug that
prevented it from ever saying a generator didn't need finalizing, and
second, frame objects cleared themselves in a way that caused their
owning generator to think they were still executable, causing a double
deallocation of objects on the value stack if there was still a loop
on the block stack. This revision also removes some unnecessary
close() operations from test_generators that are now appropriately
handled by the cycle collector.
to avoid confusing situations like:
>>> int("")
ValueError: invalid literal for int():
>>> int("2\n\n2")
ValueError: invalid literal for int(): 2
2
Also report the base used, to avoid:
ValueError: invalid literal for int(): 2
They now report:
>>> int("")
ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: ''
>>> int("2\n\n2")
ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: '2\n\n2'
>>> int("2", 2)
ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 2: '2'
(Reporting the base could be avoided when base is 10, which is the default,
but hrm.) Another effect of these changes is that the errormessage can be
longer; before, it was cut off at about 250 characters. Now, it can be up to
four times as long, as the unrepr'ed string is cut off at 200 characters,
instead.
No tests were added or changed, since testing for exact errormsgs is (pardon
the pun) somewhat errorprone, and I consider not testing the exact text
preferable. The actually changed code is tested frequent enough in the
test_builtin test as it is (120 runs for each of ints and longs.)
interpolate PY_FORMAT_SIZE_T for refcount display
instead of casting refcounts to long.
I understand that gcc on some boxes delivers
nuisance warnings about this, but if any new ones
appear because of this they'll get fixed by magic
when the others get fixed.
PyTypeObject structures, I had to make prototypes for the functions, and
move the structure definition ahead of the functions. I'd dearly like a better
way to do this - to change this would make for a massive set of changes to
the codebase.
There's still some warnings - this is purely to get rid of errors first.
that are suspended outside of any try/except/finally blocks to be
garbage collected even if they are part of a cycle. Generators that
suspend inside of an active try/except or try/finally block (including
those created by a ``with`` statement) are still not GC-able if they
are part of a cycle, however.
least as big as a long. I believe this to be a safe assumption that is being
made in many parts of CPython, but a check could be added.
len(xrange(sys.maxint)) works now, so fix the testsuite's odd exception for
64-bit platforms too. It also fixes 'zip(xrange(sys.maxint), it)' as a
portable-ish (if expensive) alternative to enumerate(it); since zip() now
calls len(), this was breaking on (real) 64-bit platforms. No additional
test was added for that behaviour.
adds the following API calls: PySet_Clear(), _PySet_Next(), and
_PySet_Update(). The latter two are considered non-public. Tests and
documentation (for the public API) are included.
This will hopefully get rid of some Coverity warnings, be a hint to
developers, and be marginally faster.
Some asserts were added when the type is currently known, but depends
on values from another function.
This is a heavily altered derivative of SF patch 1123430, Evan
Jones's heroic effort to make obmalloc return unused arenas to
the system free(), with some heuristic strategies to make it
more likley that arenas eventually _can_ be freed.
PyObject_Unicode(). This problem was originally reported from Coverity
and addresses mail on python-dev "checkin r43015".
This inlines the conversion of the string to unicode and cleans
up/simplifies some code at the end of the PyObject_Unicode().
We really need a complete C API test module for all public APIs
and passing good and bad parameter values.
Will backport.

- Add missing DECREFs of inner-scope 'temp' variable
- Add various missing DECREFs by changing 'return NULL' into 'goto onError'
- Avoid double DECREF when last _PyUnicode_Resize() fails
Coverity found one of the missing DECREFs, but oddly enough not the others.
Anyway, this is the changes to the with-statement
so that __exit__ must return a true value in order
for a pending exception to be ignored.
The PEP (343) is already updated.
added message attribute compared to the previous version of Exception. It is
also a new-style class, making all exceptions now new-style. KeyboardInterrupt
and SystemExit inherit from BaseException directly. String exceptions now
raise DeprecationWarning.
Applies patch 1104669, and closes bugs 1012952 and 518846.
- New semantics for __exit__() -- it must re-raise the exception
if type is not None; the with-statement itself doesn't do this.
(See the updated PEP for motivation.)
- Added context managers to:
- file
- thread.LockType
- threading.{Lock,RLock,Condition,Semaphore,BoundedSemaphore}
- decimal.Context
- Added contextlib.py, which defines @contextmanager, nested(), closing().
- Unit tests all around; bot no docs yet.
- The copy module now "copies" function objects (as atomic objects).
- dict.__getitem__ now looks for a __missing__ hook before raising
KeyError.
- Added a new type, defaultdict, to the collections module.
This uses the new __missing__ hook behavior added to dict (see above).
Py_SAFE_DOWNCAST can evaluate its first argument multiple
times in a debug build. This caused two distinct assert-
failures in test_unicode run under a debug build. Rewrote
the code in trivial ways so that multiple evaluation of the
first argument doesn't hurt.
* Allow the 3rd argument to generator.throw() to be None.
The 'raise' statement does the same, and anyway it follows the
general policy that optional arguments of built-ins should, when
reasonable, have a default value specifiable from Python.

than silently deliver data out of order or hitting EOF prematurely.
Probably not a bugfix candidate, even though it affects no 'working' code.

I couldn't create a test case which fails, but this fixes the problem.

* set sq_repeat and sq_concat to NULL for user-defined new-style
classes, as a way to fix a number of related problems. See
test_descr.notimplemented()). One of these problems was fixed
in r25556 and r25557 but many more existed; this is a general
fix and thus reverts r25556-r25557.
* to avoid having PySequence_Repeat()/PySequence_Concat() failing
on user-defined classes, they now fall back to nb_add/nb_mul if
sq_concat/sq_repeat are not defined and the arguments appear to
be sequences.
* added tests.
Backport candidate.
In C++, it's an error to pass a string literal to a char* function
without a const_cast(). Rather than require every C++ extension
module to put a cast around string literals, fix the API to state the
const-ness.
I focused on parts of the API where people usually pass literals:
PyArg_ParseTuple() and friends, Py_BuildValue(), PyMethodDef, the type
slots, etc. Predictably, there were a large set of functions that
needed to be fixed as a result of these changes. The most pervasive
change was to make the keyword args list passed to
PyArg_ParseTupleAndKewords() to be a const char *kwlist[].
One cast was required as a result of the changes: A type object
mallocs the memory for its tp_doc slot and later frees it.
PyTypeObject says that tp_doc is const char *; but if the type was
created by type_new(), we know it is safe to cast to char *.
[ 1346144 ] Segfaults from unaligned loads in floatobject.c

This change implements a new bytecode compiler, based on a
transformation of the parse tree to an abstract syntax defined in
Parser/Python.asdl.
The compiler implementation is not complete, but it is in stable
enough shape to run the entire test suite excepting two disabled
tests.
type lookups: whitespace and linebreak.
These lookup tables are from the Python 1.6 version with the addition
