The "Gestalt" function on OSX is deprecated (starting with OSX 10.8),
remove its usage from the stdlib. The patch removes a number of private
functions and a private module, but does not change the public API.
The removed code was effectively dead, the platform module has used
other code to fetch the OSX version for years and could only use
on the Gestalt-based code as a fallback. That fallback can only trigger
on broken OSX installs (that is, someone has removed parts of the system
install)
* create_new_element() initializes all attributes before handling errors,
to fix a crash in the destructor
* create_new_element() calls PyObject_GC_Del() on error, instead of
PyObject_Del(), because the object was created by PyObject_GC_New()
* subelement() now handles create_new_element() failure
* element_getattro() now handles element_get_text() failure
* makeuniversal() now handles PyBytes_FromStringAndSize() failure
attributes before handling errors
_Pickler_New() now calls PyObject_GC_Del() instead of Py_DECREF() on error,
because the pickle object is created using PyObject_GC_New().
Fix a crash in the destructor when an attribute is not initiallized.
* Replace malloc() with PyMem_RawMalloc()
* Replace PyMem_Malloc() with PyMem_RawMalloc() where the GIL is not held.
* _Py_char2wchar() now returns a buffer allocated by PyMem_RawMalloc(), instead
of PyMem_Malloc()
* Add comment explaining the endpoint checks
* Only do the checks in a debug build
* Simplify newblock() to only require a length argument
and leave the link updates to the calling code.
* Also add comment for the freelisting logic.
Add new enum:
* PyMemAllocatorDomain
Add new structures:
* PyMemAllocator
* PyObjectArenaAllocator
Add new functions:
* PyMem_RawMalloc(), PyMem_RawRealloc(), PyMem_RawFree()
* PyMem_GetAllocator(), PyMem_SetAllocator()
* PyObject_GetArenaAllocator(), PyObject_SetArenaAllocator()
* PyMem_SetupDebugHooks()
Changes:
* PyMem_Malloc()/PyObject_Realloc() now always call malloc()/realloc(), instead
of calling PyObject_Malloc()/PyObject_Realloc() in debug mode.
* PyObject_Malloc()/PyObject_Realloc() now falls back to
PyMem_Malloc()/PyMem_Realloc() for allocations larger than 512 bytes.
* Redesign debug checks on memory block allocators as hooks, instead of using C
macros
The division and modulo calculation in deque_item() can be compiled
to fast bitwise operations when the BLOCKLEN is a power of two.
