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
* lines too long
* wrong indentation
* space after a function name
* wrong function name in error string
* simplifying some logic
Also add an error check to PyDict_SetItemString.
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.
exception if the -i command line option or PYTHONINSPECT environment
variable is given, but break into the interactive interpreter just like
on other exceptions or normal program exit.
