PyThreadState_Delete() to avoid an infinite loop when the tstate list
is messed up and has somehow becomes circular and does not contain the
current thread.
I don't know how this happens but it does, *very* rarely. On more than
one hardware platform. I have not been able to reproduce it manually.
Attaching to a process where its happening: it has always been in an
infinite loop over a single element tstate list that is not the tstate
we're looking to delete. It has been in t_bootstrap()'s call to
PyThreadState_DeleteCurrent() as a pthread is exiting.
local_ptr_assign_local: Assigning address of stack variable "namebuf" to pointer "filename"
out_of_scope: Variable "namebuf" goes out of scope
use_invalid: Used "filename" pointing to out-of-scope variable "namebuf"
round included:
* Revert round to its 2.6 behavior (half away from 0).
* Because round, floor, and ceil always return float again, it's no
longer necessary to have them delegate to __xxx___, so I've ripped
that out of their implementations and the Real ABC. This also helps
in implementing types that work in both 2.6 and 3.0: you return int
from the __xxx__ methods, and let it get enabled by the version
upgrade.
* Make pow(-1, .5) raise a ValueError again.
On Windows, when import fails to load a dll module, the message says
"error code 193" instead of a more informative text.
It turns out that FormatMessage needs additional parameters for some error codes.
For example: 193 means "%1 is not a valid Win32 application".
Since it is impossible to know which parameter to pass, we use
FORMAT_MESSAGE_IGNORE_INSERTS to get the raw message, which is still better
than the number.

r57372, r57738, r57739, r58017, r58039, r58040, and r59390, and new

to preserve backward-compatibility. See http://bugs.python.org/issue1689.
Allows dictionaries to be pre-sized (upto 255 elements) saving time lost
to re-sizes with their attendant mallocs and re-insertions.
Has zero effect on small dictionaries (5 elements or fewer), a slight
benefit for dicts upto 22 elements (because they had to resize once
anyway), and more benefit for dicts upto 255 elements (saving multiple
resizes during the build-up and reducing the number of collisions on
the first insertions). Beyond 255 elements, there is no addional benefit.
Added PyFloat_GetMax(), PyFloat_GetMin() and PyFloat_GetInfo() to the float API.
Added a dictionary sys.float_info with information about the internal floating point type to the sys module.
(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
