Fred Drake bfc18bdf03 Integrated SF patch #539487 by Matthias Klose:
This patch adds Milan Zamazal's conversion script and
modifies the mkinfo script to build the info doc files
from the LaTeX sources.  Currently, the mac, doc and
inst TeX files are not handled.
Explicitly checks for GNU Emacs 21.

Fred Drake 77c18951fb Remove the warning about the Cygwin directions not working -- the latest
change to Doc/tools/node2label.pl (revision 1.13) makes this work.
2002-05-02 21:10:48 +00:00
Fred Drake fe3db7d6f0 Work around limitation of Cygwin Perl: To avoid a permission denial, we need
to do the inplace-edit with a backup file.  A quick test leads me to
believe this is sufficient to allow building the documentation on Cygwin;
a full test is in progress.

Fred Drake 56aa6280f6 list_documented_items(): Basic implementation.
This still does not work well since ctags does not do a good job with the
Python headers, appearantly due to the DL_IMPORT macro.  ;-(

Fred Drake 432425e834 Small markup adjustments for consistency. 2002-04-29 15:17:16 +00:00
Tim Peters 81b9251d59 Mostly in SequenceMatcher.{__chain_b, find_longest_match}:
This now does a dynamic analysis of which elements are so frequently
repeated as to constitute noise.  The primary benefit is an enormous
speedup in find_longest_match, as the innermost loop can have factors
of 100s less potential matches to worry about, in cases where the
sequences have many duplicate elements.  In effect, this zooms in on
sequences of non-ubiquitous elements now.

While I like what I've seen of the effects so far, I still consider
this experimental.  Please give it a try!

Tim Peters 5de9842b34 Repair widespread misuse of _PyString_Resize. Since it's clear people
don't understand how this function works, also beefed up the docs.  The
most common usage error is of this form (often spread out across gotos):

	if (_PyString_Resize(&s, n) < 0) {
		Py_DECREF(s);
		s = NULL;
		goto outtahere;
	}

The error is that if _PyString_Resize runs out of memory, it automatically
decrefs the input string object s (which also deallocates it, since its
refcount must be 1 upon entry), and sets s to NULL.  So if the "if"
branch ever triggers, it's an error to call Py_DECREF(s):  s is already
NULL!  A correct way to write the above is the simpler (and intended)

	if (_PyString_Resize(&s, n) < 0)
		goto outtahere;

Bugfix candidate.
