Sorry, this list does not claim completeness. If I fixed a bug
|
|
immediately upon receiving the first complaint I usually did not
|
|
nother to make an entry in this file, unless it was a serious bug
|
|
(core dump or infinite loop).
|
|
|
|
==> Status indicators: (-) not fixed; (*) fixed; (?) don't know what to do.

======================================================================
|
|
BUGS found in 1.1 and fixed in 1.1.1
|
|
------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
(*) pow() should be declared varargs since it uses newgetargs
|
|
|
|
BUGS found in 1.1 and not yet fixed
|
|
-----------------------------------
|
|
|
|
(-) A built-in function using getargs() and expecting >= 1 argument
|
|
may dump core when called without arguments
|
|
|
|
BUGS found in 1.0.3 and fixed in 1.1
|
|
------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
(*) If class C doesn't define __cmp__, cmp(a,b) will return -2 and
|
|
[a,b].sort() will fail
|
|
|
|
BUGS found in 1.0.3 and not yet fixed
|
|
-------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
(-) print_error raises and then masks an error if softspace is not
|
|
defined (can't reproduce this one?)
|
|
|
|
BUGS found in 1.0.3 and fixed in 1.1
|
|
------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
(*) Syntax errors are reported in a silly way if multi-line tokens are
|
|
involved.
|
|
|
|
(*) SyntaxError exception for compile('...') are reported wrongly
|
|
(lineno is always zero and offset is offset into the whole string).
|
|
|
|
(*) freeze script needs major rewrite to cope with multiple extensions
|
|
(Jack seems to have fixed it now -- where is it?)
|
|
|
|
(*) various memory leaks (see purify report from anthony.baxter@aaii.oz.au)
|
|
(several leaks fixed anyway :-)
|
|
|
|
(*) unwanted entries in stack trace if err_clear() clears an error
|
|
that also set a stack trace
|
|
|
|
(*) i, x[i] = a, b assigns b to x[a] rather than to x[i] as expected
|
|
(documented with a warning in ref6.tex!)
|
|
|
|
(*) etags no longer supports -t flag
|
|
|
|
(*) compile.c:com_argdefs() references unalloc'ed memory for def
|
|
f(a=1,): ...
|
|
|
|
(*) If you have a python binary in your path like
|
|
/ufs/guido/bin/sgi/python then the default prefix option computed by
|
|
the configure script is bogus!
|
|
|
|
(*) Make rule for making lib*.a should remove the lib*.a file first.
|
|
|
|
(*) vars() error message is wrong (copied from dir() obviously).
|
|
|
|
(*) socket.gethostname() is undocumented.
|
|
|
|
(*) rfc822.py: getfirst* dies when multiple headers occur
|
|
|
|
(*) urllib caching is wrong (should use date from Expires header)
|
|
|
|
(*) On a related matter: regexpr.c still has two malloc()s the results
|
|
of which are not tested for being NULL (lines 1253 and 1530). There
|
|
are also some in rgbimagemodule.c. Am I overlooking something or is
|
|
this a crasher?
|
|
|
|
(*) strop.rindex('abc', '') returns 0 instead of 3
|
|
|
|
(*) sunaudiodevmodule.o is too long!
|
|
|
|
(*) toplevel README needs new text on PC and Mac builds
|
|
|
|
(*) long(0x80000000) has wrong value!
|
|

|
|
|
|
(?) compiler warnings about argument type of uname() on ULTRIX
|
|
machines (don't know what to do about it)
|
|
|
|
(?) syntax error for interactive input prints garbage instead of last
|
|
source line on some systems (e.g. AIX) (impossible to test/reproduce)
|
|
!!! I think I've found this one -- a missing INCREF in print_error!
|
|
|
|
(?) (maybe) a bad .pyc file (with old magic number) causes the .py
|
|
file to be ignored
|
|
|
|
(?) Sunos4.0.2 / 386 configure bugs:

|
|
|
(*) nasty bug in string formatting (see test_types.py, search for %)
|
|
|
|

|
|
(followed immediately by the terminating 3 quotes) then a syntax error
|
|
or system error ensues
|
|
|
|

|
because of '_'

|
(*) tokenizer/tok_nextc() runs into infinite loop when file does not
|
|
end in linefeed
|
|
|
|
(*) Sunos4.0.2 / 386 configure bugs:
|
|
(*) - use size_t at some places without including sys/types.h
|
|
(*) - missing clock_t
|
|
(*) - uses SEEK_SET in some places that don't include unistd.h

-------------------------------------

|
|
(?) modsupport.c(vmkvalue): on systems where va_list is an array, the

|
|
|

all forms returns only the cached form
