Guido van Rossum 07bd90e92d Andy Dustman: add GNU pth user-space thread support. 2000-05-08 13:41:38 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 4cea605e75 Quick fix by Mark Hammond -- Yakov changed a dprintf call but it was
referencing an undefined variable, so we better change it back.

Guido van Rossum 706262bde0 Fast NonRecursiveMutex support by Yakov Markovitch, markovitch@iso.ru,
who wrote:

Here's the new version of thread_nt.h.  More particular, there is a
new version of thread lock that uses kernel object (e.g. semaphore)
only in case of contention; in other case it simply uses interlocked
functions, which are faster by the order of magnitude.  It doesn't
make much difference without threads present, but as soon as thread
machinery initialised and (mostly) the interpreter global lock is on,
difference becomes tremendous.  I've included a small script, which
initialises threads and launches pystone.  With original thread_nt.h,
Pystone results with initialised threads are twofold worse then w/o
threads.  With the new version, only 10% worse.  I have used this
patch for about 6 months (with threaded and non-threaded
applications).  It works remarkably well (though I'd desperately
prefer Python was free-threaded; I hope, it will soon).

Guido van Rossum cc229ea76f Add useless 'return 1' to prtrace() to shut up VC++. 2000-05-04 00:55:17 +00:00
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 a7cfca23e1 A bit of cleanup:
- When 'import exceptions' fails, don't suggest to use -v to print the traceback;
  this doesn't actually work.
- Remove comment about fallback to string exceptions.
- Remove a PyErr_Occurred() check after all is said and done that can
  never trigger.
- Remove static function newstdexception() which is no longer called.

Fred Drake 25871c001f Brian Hooper <brian_takashi@hotmail.com>:
Added 'u' and 'u#' tags for PyArg_ParseTuple - these turn a
PyUnicodeObject argument into a Py_UNICODE * buffer, or a Py_UNICODE *
buffer plus a length with the '#'.  Also added an analog to 'U'
for Py_BuildValue.

Barry Warsaw fa5c315afa PyErr_GivenExceptionMatches(): Check for err==NULL and exc==NULL and
return 0 (exceptions don't match).  This means that if an ImportError
is raised because exceptions.py can't be imported, the interpreter
will exit "cleanly" with an error message instead of just core
dumping.

PyErr_SetFromErrnoWithFilename(), PyErr_SetFromWindowsErrWithFilename():
Don't test on Py_UseClassExceptionsFlag.
2000-05-02 19:27:51 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 48719d3d1f _PyBuiltin_Init_2(): Remove the misleading comment. 2000-05-02 19:24:39 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 47eeb9bdad initerrors(): Remove this function. String-based standard exceptions
are no longer supported (i.e. -X option is removed).

_PyBuiltin_Init_1(): Don't call initerrors().  This does mean that it
is possible to raise an ImportError before that exception has been
initialized, say because exceptions.py can't be found, or contains
bogosity.  See changes to errors.c for how this is handled.

_PyBuiltin_Init_2(): Don't test Py_UseClassExceptionsFlag, just go
ahead and initialize the class-based standard exceptions.  If this
fails, we throw a Py_FatalError.
2000-05-02 19:24:06 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 3ce096459e Py_UseClassExceptionsFlag is deprecated. We keep the C variable for C
API consistency, but nothing sets it or checks it now.

Barry Warsaw ee98e4e75d Ignore a bunch of generated files. 2000-05-02 18:34:30 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 96774c1347 Marc-Andre Lemburg:
Changed all references to the MAGIC constant to use a global
pyc_magic instead. This global is initially set to MAGIC, but can be
changed by the _PyImport_Init() function to provide for
special features implemented in the compiler which are settable
using command line switches and affect the way PYC files are
generated.

Currently this change is only done for the -U flag.
2000-05-01 20:19:08 +00:00
Guido van Rossum b16d197d66 Marc-Andre Lemburg:
Added Py_UnicodeFlag for use by the -U command line option.
2000-05-01 17:55:15 +00:00
Guido van Rossum fdc8bdb67b Marc-Andre Lemburg:
Support for the new -U command line option option:

interprets all "..." strings as u"..." (same with r"..." and
ur"...").

Guido van Rossum 22b65a8edc Robin Becker: The following patch seems to fix a module case bug in
1.6a2 caused by wrong return values in routine allcaps83.  [GvR: I
also changed the case for end-s>8 to return 0.]

Guido van Rossum 1cb6cd0ec5 As Marc-Andre Lemburg points out, the magic number needs to change
because we've added Unicode marshalling to the repertoire.

Guido van Rossum a2ace6ae25 Charles G Waldman:
Follow a suggestion in an /*XXX*/ comment [in com_add()] to speed up
compilation by using supplemental dictionaries to keep track of names
and constants, eliminating quadratic behavior.  With this patch in
place, the time to import a 5000-line file with lots of constants [at
the global level] is reduced from 20 seconds to under 3 on my system.

Fred Drake 25d34473c3 Brian Hooper <brian_takashi@hotmail.com>:
Here's a patch which changes modsupport to add 'u' and 'u#',
to support building Unicode objects from a null-terminated
Py_UNICODE *, and a Py_UNICODE * with length, respectively.

[Conversion from 'U' to 'u' by Fred, based on python-dev comments.]

Note that the use of None for NULL values of the Py_UNICODE* value is
still in; I'm not sure of the conclusion on that issue.
2000-04-28 14:42:37 +00:00
Guido van Rossum eca4784781 Mark Hammond: For Windows debug builds, we now only offer to dump
remaining object references if the environment variable PYTHONDUMPREFS
exists.  The default behaviour caused problems for background or
otherwise invisible processes that use the debug build of Python.
2000-04-27 23:44:15 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 700c6ff1fb Marc-Andre Lemburg:
Fixed a memory leak found by Fredrik Lundh.  Instead of
PyUnicode_AsUTF8String() we now use _PyUnicode_AsUTF8String() which
returns the string object without incremented refcount (and assures
that the so obtained object remains alive until the Unicode object is
garbage collected).

"""
Running "test_extcall" repeatedly results in memory leaks.

One of these can't be fixed (at least not easily!), it happens since
this code:

def saboteur(**kw):
    kw['x'] = locals()
d = {}
saboteur(a=1, **d)

creates a circular reference - d['x']['d']==d

The others are due to some missing decrefs in ceval.c, fixed by the
patch attached below.

Note:  I originally wrote this without the "goto", just adding the
missing decref's where needed.  But I think the goto is justified in
keeping the executable code size of ceval as small as possible.

Guido van Rossum 9e896b37c7 Marc-Andre's third try at this bulk patch seems to work (except that
his copy of test_contains.py seems to be broken -- the lines he
deleted were already absent).  Checkin messages:


New Unicode support for int(), float(), complex() and long().

- new APIs PyInt_FromUnicode() and PyLong_FromUnicode()
- added support for Unicode to PyFloat_FromString()
- new encoding API PyUnicode_EncodeDecimal() which converts
  Unicode to a decimal char* string (used in the above new
  APIs)
- shortcuts for calls like int(<int object>) and float(<float obj>)
- tests for all of the above

Unicode compares and contains checks:
- comparing Unicode and non-string types now works; TypeErrors
  are masked, all other errors such as ValueError during
  Unicode coercion are passed through (note that PyUnicode_Compare
  does not implement the masking -- PyObject_Compare does this)
- contains now works for non-string types too; TypeErrors are
  masked and 0 returned; all other errors are passed through

Better testing support for the standard codecs.

Misc minor enhancements, such as an alias dbcs for the mbcs codec.

Changes:
- PyLong_FromString() now applies the same error checks as
  does PyInt_FromString(): trailing garbage is reported
  as error and not longer silently ignored. The only characters
  which may be trailing the digits are 'L' and 'l' -- these
  are still silently ignored.
- string.ato?() now directly interface to int(), long() and
  float(). The error strings are now a little different, but
  the type still remains the same. These functions are now
  ready to get declared obsolete ;-)
- PyNumber_Int() now also does a check for embedded NULL chars
  in the input string; PyNumber_Long() already did this (and
  still does)

Followed by:

Looks like I've gone a step too far there... (and test_contains.py
seem to have a bug too).

I've changed back to reporting all errors in PyUnicode_Contains()
and added a few more test cases to test_contains.py (plus corrected
the join() NameError).
2000-04-05 20:11:21 +00:00

Guido van Rossum 24bdb0474f Marc-Andre Lemburg:
The attached patch set includes a workaround to get Python with
Unicode compile on BSDI 4.x (courtesy Thomas Wouters; the cause
is a bug in the BSDI wchar.h header file) and Python interfaces
for the MBCS codec donated by Mark Hammond.

Also included are some minor corrections w/r to the docs of
the new "es" and "es#" parser markers (use PyMem_Free() instead
of free(); thanks to Mark Hammond for finding these).

The unicodedata tests are now in a separate file
(test_unicodedata.py) to avoid problems if the module cannot
be found.

Guido van Rossum d724b23420 Christian Tismer's "trashcan" patch:
Added wrapping macros to dictobject.c, listobject.c, tupleobject.c,

on stack overflow. Macros and functions in object.c, object.h.
The method is an "elevator destructor" that turns cascading

Guido van Rossum 795e189d28 Patch by Mark Hammond:
* Changes to a recent patch by Chris Tismer to errors.c.  Chris' patch
always used FormatMessage() to get the error message passing the error code
from errno - but errno and FormatMessage use a different numbering scheme.
The main reason the patch looked OK was that ENOFILE==ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND -
but that is about the only shared error code :-).  The MS CRT docs tell you
to use _sys_errlist()/_sys_nerr.  My patch does also this, and adds a very
similar function specifically for win32 error codes.

Guido van Rossum 25da5bebd8 Fix PR117. The error message is "keywords must be strings". Perhaps
not as descriptive as what Barry suggests, but this also catches the
(in my opinion important) case where some other C code besides apply()
constructs a kwdict that doesn't have the right format.  All the other
possibilities of getting it wrong (non-dict, wrong keywords etc) are
already caught so this makes sense to check here.

"""
Following up Robin Dunn's troubles with freeze, here's a patch that

Symbol resolution of shared modules is now handled properly for the cases
when the python library is linked to a binary with an arbitrary name.
This includes the standard python[version] executable, but also applications
that are embedding the python core (i.e. linked with libpython[version].a,
the latter being static or shared).

Guido van Rossum 8746082175 Patch by Tim Peters:
Introduce a new builtin exception, UnboundLocalError, raised when ceval.c
tries to retrieve or delete a local name that isn't bound to a value.
Currently raises NameError, which makes this behavior a FAQ since the same
error is raised for "missing" global names too:  when the user has a global
of the same name as the unbound local, NameError makes no sense to them.
Even in the absence of shadowing, knowing whether a bogus name is local or
global is a real aid to quick understanding.

Example:

D:\src\PCbuild>type local.py
x = 42

def f():
    print x
    x = 13
    return x

f()

D:\src\PCbuild>python local.py
Traceback (innermost last):
  File "local.py", line 8, in ?
    f()
  File "local.py", line 4, in f
    print x
UnboundLocalError: x

D:\src\PCbuild>

Note that UnboundLocalError is a subclass of NameError, for compatibility
with existing class-exception code that may be trying to catch this as a
NameError.  Unfortunately, I see no way to make this wholly compatible
with -X (see comments in bltinmodule.c):  under -X, [UnboundLocalError
is an alias for NameError --GvR].

[The ceval.c patch differs slightly from the second version that Tim
submitted; I decided not to raise UnboundLocalError for DELETE_NAME,
only for DELETE_LOCAL.  DELETE_NAME is only generated at the module
level, and since at that level a NameError is raised for referencing
an undefined name, it should also be raised for deleting one.]

Guido van Rossum 1d5ad90c1c CRITICAL PATCH!
We occasionally received reports from people getting "invalid tstate"
crashes (this is a fatal error in PyThreadState_Delete()).  Finally
several people were able to reproduce it reliably and Tim Peters
discovered that there is a race condition when multiple threads are
calling this function without holding the global interpreter lock (the
function may be called without holding that).

Solved the race condition by adding a lock around the mutating uses of
interp->tstate_head.  Tim and Jonathan Giddy have run tests that make
it likely that this fixes the crashes -- although Tim hasn't heard
from the person who reported the original problem.

Guido van Rossum 668213d3b8 Patch by Jim Fulton (code style tweaked a bit) to support
ExtensionClasses in isinstance() and issubclass().

  - abstract instance and class protocols are used *only* in those

    no penalty for the normal case.

  - instance protocol: an object smells like an instance if it
    has a __class__ attribute that smells like a class.

  - class protocol: an object smells like a class if it has a
    __bases__ attribute that is a tuple with elements that
    smell like classes (although not all elements may actually get
    sniffed ;).

Barry Warsaw 98b6246c0c Several changes that Python carry on in the face of errors in the
initialization of class exceptions.  Specifically:

init_class_exc(): This function now returns an integer status of the
class exception initialization.  No fatal errors in this method now.
Also, use PySys_WriteStderr() when writing error messages.  When an
error occurs in this function, 0 is returned, but the partial creation
of the exception classes is not undone (this happens elsewhere).

Things that could trigger the fallback:

    - exceptions.py fails to be imported (due to syntax error, etc.)

    - one of the exception classes is missing (e.g. due to library
      version mismatch)

    - exception class can't be inserted into __builtin__'s dictionary

    - MemoryError instance can't be pre-allocated

    - some other PyErr_Occurred

newstdexception(): Changed the error message.  This is still a fatal
error because if the string based exceptions can't be created, we
really can't continue.

Guido van Rossum fccfe89753 Another veeeeeery old patch...
Date:    Thu, 14 Sep 1995 12:18:20 -0400
From:    Alan Morse <alan@dvcorp.com>
To:      python-list@cwi.nl
Subject: getargs bug in 1.2 and 1.3 BETA

We have found a bug in the part of the getargs code that we added
and submitted, and which was incorporated into 1.1.

The parsing of "O?" format specifiers is not handled correctly;
there is no "else" for the "if" and therefore it can never fail.
What's worse, the advancing of the varargs pointer is not
handled properly, so from then on it is out of sync, wreaking
all sorts of havoc. (If it had failed properly, then the out-of-sync
varargs would not have been an issue.)

Below is the context diff for the change.

Note that I have made a few stylistic changes beyond adding the
else case, namely:

1) Making the "O" case follow the convention established by the other
format specifiers of getting all their vararg arguments before
performing the test, rather than getting some before and some after
the test passes.

2) Making the logic of the tests parallel, so the "if" part indicates
that the format is accepted and the "else" part indicates that the
format has failed. They were inconsistent with each other and with the
the other format specifiers.

Guido van Rossum a890e68807 New APIs to write to sys.stdout or sys.stderr using a printf-like interface.
Adapted from code submitted by Just van Rossum.

   PySys_WriteStdout(format, ...)
   PySys_WriteStderr(format, ...)

      The first function writes to sys.stdout; the second to sys.stderr.  When
      there is a problem, they write to the real (C level) stdout or stderr;
      no exceptions are raised (but a pending exception may be cleared when a
      new exception is caught).

      Both take a printf-style format string as their first argument followed
      by a variable length argument list determined by the format string.

      *** WARNING ***

      The format should limit the total size of the formatted output string to
      1000 bytes.  In particular, this means that no unrestricted "%s" formats
      should occur; these should be limited using "%.<N>s where <N> is a
      decimal number calculated so that <N> plus the maximum size of other
      formatted text does not exceed 1000 bytes.  Also watch out for "%f",
      which can print hundreds of digits for very large numbers.

Guido van Rossum d65911b3f3 Oops -- overuse of dabbrev-expand introduced a strange bug, where
instead of 'locals' I was passing 'lock_import' to import_module_ex().
1998-03-03 22:33:27 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 75acc9ca1c Add a single Python-wide (!) lock on import. Only one thread at a
time can be in PyImport_ImportModuleEx().  Recursive calls from the
same thread are okay.

Potential problems:

- The lock should really be part of the interpreter state rather than
global, but that would require modifying more files, and I first want
to figure out whether this works at all.

- One could argue that the lock should be per module -- however that
would be complicated to implement.  We would have to have a linked
list of locks per module name, *or* invent a new object type to
represent a lock, so we can store the locks in the module or in a
separate dictionary.  Both seem unwarranted.  The one situation where
this can cause problems is when loading a module takes a long time,
e.g. when the module's initialization code interacts with the user --
during that time, no other threads can run.  I say, "too bad."

Guido van Rossum 05f9dce34f Moved clear_carefully() to _PyModule_Clear() in moduleobject.c
(modified) and use that.

Some differences in the cleanup algorithm:

- Clear __main__ before the other modules.

- Delete more sys variables: including ps1, ps2, exitfunc, argv, and
even path -- this will prevent new imports!

- Restore stdin, stdout, stderr from __stdin__, __stdout__,
__stderr__, effectively deleting hooks that the user might have
installed -- so their (the hooks') destructors will run.
1998-02-19 20:58:44 +00:00

1998-02-13 23:27:59 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 0980bd9233 Add case checking feature on import.
This is an option for OS-es with case-insensitive but case-preserving
filesystems.  It is currently supported for Win32 and MacOS.  To
enable it, #define CHECK_IMPORT_CASE in your platform specific
config.h.  It is enabled by default on those systems where it is
supported.  On Win32, it can be disabled at runtime by setting the
environment variable PYTHONCASEOK (to any value).

When enabled, the feature checks that the case of the requested module
name matches that of the filename found in the filesystem, and raises
a NameError exception when they don't match.
1998-02-13 17:18:36 +00:00
Guido van Rossum e32bf6ead2 Added PyImport_ExecCodeModuleEx(), which adds an extra parameter to

is NULL, the code object's co_filename is still used.)

Guido van Rossum a61691e4e9 Ehm, three unrelated changes.
- Add Py_FrozenFlag, intended to suppress error messages fron
getpath.c in frozen binaries.

- Add Py_GetPythonHome() and Py_SetPythonHome(), intended to allow
embedders to force a different PYTHONHOME.

- Add new interface PyErr_PrintEx(flag); same as PyErr_Print() but
flag determines whether sys.last_* are set or not.  PyErr_Print()
now simply calls PyErr_PrintEx(1).
1998-02-06 22:27:24 +00:00
Guido van Rossum a0fec2b5df Two more refinements of the cleanup process.
(1) Explicitly clear __builtin__._ and sys.{last,exc}_* before
clearing anything else.  These are common places where user values
hide and people complain when their destructors fail.  Since the
modules containing them are deleted *last* of all, they would come too
late in the normal destruction order.  Sigh.

(2) Add some debugging aid to cleanup (after a suggestion by Marc
Lemburg) -- print the names of the modules being cleaned, and (when
-vv is used) print the names of the variables being cleared.
