still fail on importing modules that link with libraries that fail
their initialization code (such as windowing libraries when we don't have
access to the window server) and that is what I really wanted to fix.
Had nothing to do with rich comparisons -- some stack cleanup code was
lost as a result of merging in Neil Schemenauer's generators patch.
Reinserted the stack cleanup code, skipping it when yielding.
leak when a class defined a __metaclass__. This fixes the problem
reported on python-dev by Ping; I dunno if it's the same as SF bug
#489669 (since that mentions Unicode).
Big Hammer to implement -Qnew as PEP 238 says it should work (a global
option affecting all instances of "/").
pydebug.h, main.c, pythonrun.c: define a private _Py_QnewFlag flag, true
iff -Qnew is passed on the command line. This should go away (as the
comments say) when true division becomes The Rule. This is
deliberately not exposed to runtime inspection or modification: it's
a one-way one-shot switch to pretend you're using Python 3.
ceval.c: when _Py_QnewFlag is set, treat BINARY_DIVIDE as
BINARY_TRUE_DIVIDE.
test_{descr, generators, zipfile}.py: fiddle so these pass under
-Qnew too. This was just a matter of s!/!//! in test_generators and
test_zipfile. test_descr was trickier, as testbinop() is passed
assumptions that "/" is the same as calling a "__div__" method; put
a temporary hack there to call "__truediv__" instead when the method
name is "__div__" and 1/2 evaluates to 0.5.
Three standard tests still fail under -Qnew (on Windows; somebody
please try the Linux tests with -Qnew too! Linux runs a whole bunch
of tests Windows doesn't):
test_augassign
test_class
test_coercion
I can't stay awake longer to stare at this (be my guest). Offhand
cures weren't obvious, nor was it even obvious that cures are possible
without major hackery.
Question: when -Qnew is in effect, should calls to __div__ magically
change into calls to __truediv__? See "major hackery" at tail end of
last paragraph <wink>.
There's now a new structmember code, T_OBJECT_EX, which is used for
all __slot__ variables (except __weakref__, which has special behavior
anyway). This new code raises AttributeError when the variable is
NULL rather than converting NULL to None.
The error for assignment to __debug__ used ste->ste_opt_lineno instead
of n->n_lineno. The latter was at best incorrect; often the slot was
uninitialized. Two fixes here: Use the correct lineno for the error.
Initialize ste_opt_lineno in PySymtable_New(); while there are no
current cases where it is referenced unless it has already been
assigned to, there is no harm in initializing it.
use wrappers on all platforms, to make this as consistent as possible x-
platform (in particular, make sure there's at least one \0 byte in
the output buffer). Also document more of the truth about what these do.
getargs.c, seterror(): Three computations of remaining buffer size were
backwards, thus telling PyOS_snprintf the buffer is larger than it
actually is. This matters a lot now that PyOS_snprintf ensures there's a
trailing \0 byte (because it didn't get the truth about the buffer size,
it was storing \0 beyond the true end of the buffer).
sysmodule.c, mywrite(): Simplify, now that PyOS_vsnprintf guarantees to
produce a \0 byte.
than the argument string size, copy as many bytes as will fit
(including a terminating '\0'), rather than not copying anything.
This to make it satisfy the C99 spec.
vgetargskeywords(): Now that this routine is checking for bad input
(rather than dump core in some cases), some bad calls are raising errors
that previously "worked". This patch makes the error strings more
revealing, and changes the exceptions from SystemError to RuntimeError
(under the theory that SystemError is more of a "can't happen!" assert-
like thing, and so inappropriate for bad arguments to a public C API
function).
seterror() uses a char array and a pointer to the current position in
that array. Use snprintf() and compute the amount of space left in
the buffer based on the current pointer position.
If it returns -1 (which indicates overflow on old Linux platforms and
perhaps on Windows) or size greater than buffer, write a message
indicating that the previous message was truncated.
com_arglist(), symtable_check_unoptimized(), symtable_params(),
symtable_global(), symtable_list_comprehension():
Conversion of sprintf() to PyOS_snprintf() for buffer overrun
avoidance.
PyEval_EvalCodeEx(): increment tstate->recursion_depth around the
decref of the frame, because the C stack for this call is still in
use and the decref can lead to __del__ methods getting called.
While this gives tstate->recursion_depth a value proportional to the
depth of the C stack (instead of a small constant no matter how
deeply __del__s recurse), it's not enough to stop the reported crash
when using the default recursion limit on Windows.
Bugfix candidate.
Bugfix candidate.
tb_displayline(): the sprintf format was choking off the file name, but
used plain %s for the function name (which can be arbitrarily long).
Limit both to 500 chars max.
uninitialized memory reads reported in bug #478001.
Note that this doesn't address the following larger issues:
- Error conditions are not documented for PyOS_*sig() in the C API.
- Nothing that actually calls PyOS_*sig() in the core interpreter and
extension modules actually /checks/ the return value of the call.
Fixing those is left as an exercise for a later day.
This patch boosts performance for comparing identical string object
by some 20% on my machine while not causing any noticable slow-down
for other operations (according to tests done with pybench).
routines. As of 10.1 using Carbon will crash Python if no window server is
available (ssh connection, console mode, MacOSX Server). This fixes bug
#466907.
A result of this mod is that the default 8bit encoding on OSX is now ASCII,
for the time being. Also, the extension modules that need the Carbon
framework now explicitly include it in setup.py.
+ Squash another potential buffer overrun.
+ Simplify the keyword-arg loop by decrementing the count of keywords
remaining instead of incrementing Yet Another Variable; also break
out early if the number of keyword args remaining hits 0.
Since I hit the function's closing curly brace with this patch, that's
enough of this for now <wink>.
The "need" for this was probably removed by an earlier patch that stopped
the loop right before it from passing NULL to a dict lookup routine.
I still haven't convinced myself that the next loop is correct, so am
leaving the next mysterious PyErr_Clear() call in for now.
