type.__new__(), and then calls object.__init__(cls), just to be anal.
This allows us to restore the code in string.py's _TemplateMetaclass
that called super(...).__init__(name, bases, dct), which I commented
out yesterday since it broke due to the stricter argument checking
added to object.__init__().
now stricter in rejecting excess arguments. The only time when
either allows excess arguments is when it is not overridden and the
other one is. For backwards compatibility, when both are
overridden, it is a deprecation warning (for now; maybe a Py3k
warning later).
When merging this into 3.0, the warnings should become errors.
Note: without the change to string.py, lots of spurious warnings happen.
What's going on there?
to complex using its __complex__() method before falling back to the
__float__() method. Therefore, the functions in the cmath module now
can operate on objects that define a __complex__() method.
(backport)
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.
We add some new rules that are required for preserving internal
invariants of types.
1. If type (or a subclass of type) appears in bases, it must appear
before any non-type bases. If a non-type base (like a regular
new-style class) occurred first, it could trick type into
allocating the new class an __dict__ which must be impossible.
2. There are several checks that are made of bases when creating a
type. Those checks are now repeated when assigning to __bases__.
We also add the restriction that assignment to __bases__ may not
change the metaclass of the type.
Add new tests for these cases and for a few other oddball errors that
were no previously tested. Remove a crasher test that was fixed.
Also some internal refactoring: Extract the code to find the most
derived metaclass of a type and its bases. It is now needed in two
places. Rewrite the TypeError checks in test_descr to use doctest.
The tests now clearly show what exception they expect to see.
Fixes bug 1569356, but at the cost of a minor incompatibility in
locals(). Add test that verifies that the class namespace is not
polluted. Also clarify the behavior in the library docs.
Along the way, cleaned up the dict_to_map and map_to_dict
implementations and added some comments that explain what they do.
of some of the common builtin types.
Use a bit in tp_flags for each common builtin type. Check the bit
to determine if any instance is a subclass of these common types.
The check avoids a function call and O(n) search of the base classes.
The check is done in the various Py*_Check macros rather than calling
PyType_IsSubtype().
All the bits are set in tp_flags when the type is declared
in the Objects/*object.c files because PyType_Ready() is not called
for all the types. Should PyType_Ready() be called for all types?
If so and the change is made, the changes to the Objects/*object.c files
can be reverted (remove setting the tp_flags). Objects/typeobject.c
would also have to be modified to add conditions
for Py*_CheckExact() in addition to each the PyType_IsSubtype check.
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....)
* unified the way intobject, longobject and mystrtoul handle
values around -sys.maxint-1.
* in general, trying to entierely avoid overflows in any computation
involving signed ints or longs is extremely involved. Fixed a few
simple cases where a compiler might be too clever (but that's all
guesswork).
* more overflow checks against bad data in marshal.c.
* 2.5 specific: fixed a number of places that were still confusing int
and Py_ssize_t. Some of them could potentially have caused
"real-world" breakage.
* list.pop(x): fixing overflow issues on x was messy. I just reverted
to PyArg_ParseTuple("n"), which does the right thing. (An obscure
test was trying to give a Decimal to list.pop()... doesn't make
sense any more IMHO)
* trying to write a few tests...
i_divmod(): As discussed on Python-Dev, changed the overflow
checking to live happily with recent gcc optimizations that
assume signed integer arithmetic never overflows.
This differs from the corresponding change on the 2.5 and 2.4
branches, using a less obscure approach, but one that /may/
tickle platform idiocies in their definitions of LONG_MIN.
The 2.4 + 2.5 change avoided introducing a dependence on
LONG_MIN, at the cost of substantially goofier code.
OverflowError while x*x succeeds and produces infinity; apparently
these inconsistencies cannot be fixed across ``all'' platforms and
there's a widespread feeling that therefore ``every'' platform
should keep suffering forevermore. Ah well.
inf) but didn't; added a test to test_float to verify that, and ignored the
ERANGE value for errno in the pow operation to make the new test pass (with
help from Marilyn Davis at the Google Python Sprint -- thanks!).
Replace UnicodeDecodeErrors raised during == and !=
compares of Unicode and other objects with a new
UnicodeWarning.
All other comparisons continue to raise exceptions.
Exceptions other than UnicodeDecodeErrors are also left
untouched.
were failing due to inappropriate clipping of numbers larger than 2**31
with new-style classes. (typeobject.c) In reviewing the code for classic
classes, there were 2 problems. Any negative value return could be returned.
Always return -1 if there was an error. Also make the checks similar
with the new-style classes. I believe this is correct for 32 and 64 bit
boxes, including Windows64.
Add a test of classic classes too.
I modified this patch some by fixing style, some error checking, and adding
XXX comments. This patch requires review and some changes are to be expected.
I'm checking in now to get the greatest possible review and establish a
baseline for moving forward. I don't want this to hold up release if possible.
This is the first batch of fixes that should be easy to verify based on context.
This fixes problem numbers: 220 (ast), 323-324 (symtable),
321-322 (structseq), 215 (array), 210 (hotshot), 182 (codecs), 209 (etree).
PyMapping_Size and PySequence_Size.
Because len() tries first sequence, then mapping size, it will always
raise a "non-mapping object has no len" error which is confusing.
be wrong.
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.
