Konrad was too kind. Not only did it raise an exception, the specific
exception it raised made no sense. These are old bugs in complex_pow()
and friends:
1. Raising 0 to a negative power isn't a range error, it's a domain
error, so changed c_pow() to set errno to EDOM in that case instead
of ERANGE.
2. Changed complex_pow() to:
A. Used the Py_ADJUST_ERANGE2 macro to try to clear errno of a spurious
ERANGE error due to underflow in the libm pow() called by c_pow().
B. Produced different exceptions depending on the errno value:
i) For errno==EDOM, raise ZeroDivisionError instead of ValueError.
This is for consistency with the non-complex cases 0.0**-2 and
0**-2 and 0L**-2.
ii) For errno==ERANGE, raise OverflowError.
Bugfix candidate.
The proper fix is not quite what was submitted; it's really better to
take the class of the object passed rather than calling PyMethod_New
with NULL pointer args, because that can then cause other core dumps
later.
I also added a testcase for the fix to classmethods() in test_descr.py.
I've already applied this to the 2.2 branch.
As promised in my response to the bug report, I'm not really fixing
it; in fact, one could argule over what the proper fix should do.
Instead, I'm adding a little magic that raises TypeError if you try to
pickle an instance of a class that has __slots__ but doesn't define or
override __getstate__. This is done by adding a bozo __getstate__
that always raises TypeError.
There were several places that assumed the md_dict field was always
set, but it needn't be. Fixed these to be more careful.
I changed PyModule_GetDict() to initialize md_dict to a new dictionary
if it's NULL.
Bugfix candidate.
and (b) stop trying to prevent file growth.
Beef up the file.truncate() docs.
Change test_largefile.py to stop assuming that f.truncate() moves the
file pointer to the truncation point, and to verify instead that it leaves
the file position alone. Remove the test for what happens when a
specified size exceeds the original file size (it's ill-defined, according
to the Single Unix Spec).
dropping MS's inadequate _chsize() function. This was inspired by
SF patch 498109 ("fileobject truncate support for win32"), which I
rejected.
libstdtypes.tex: Someone who knows should update the availability
blurb. For example, if it's available on Linux, it would be good to
say so.
test_largefile: Uncommented the file.truncate() tests, and reworked to
do more. The old comment about "permission errors" in the truncation
tests under Windows was almost certainly due to that the file wasn't open
for *write* access at this point, so of course MS wouldn't let you
truncate it. I'd be appalled if a Unixish system did.
CAUTION: Someone should run this test on Linux (etc) too. The
truncation part was commented out before. Note that test_largefile isn't
run by default.
Adapter from SF patch 528038; fixes SF bug 527816.
The wrapper for __nonzero__ should be wrap_inquiry rather than
wrap_unaryfunc, since the slot returns an int, not a PyObject *.
Another year in the quest to out-guess random C behavior.
Added macros Py_ADJUST_ERANGE1(X) and Py_ADJUST_ERANGE2(X, Y). The latter
is useful for functions with complex results. Two corrections to errno-
after-libm-call are attempted:
1. If the platform set errno to ERANGE due to underflow, clear errno.
Some unknown subset of libm versions and link options do this. It's
allowed by C89, but I never figured anyone would do it.
2. If the platform did not set errno but overflow occurred, force
errno to ERANGE. C89 required setting errno to ERANGE, but C99
doesn't. Some unknown subset of libm versions and link options do
it the C99 way now.
Bugfix candidate, but hold off until some Linux people actually try it,
with and without -lieee. I'll send a help plea to Python-Dev.
PyNumber_Add() tries the nb_add slot first, then falls back to
sq_concat. However, tt didn't check the return value of sq_concat.
If sq_concat returns NotImplemented, raise the standard TypeError.
[ 526072 ] pickling os.stat results round II
structseq's constructors can now take "invisible" fields in a dict.
Gave the constructors better error messages.
their __reduce__ method puts these fields in a dict.
(this is all in aid of getting os.stat_result's to pickle portably)
Also fixes
[ 526039 ] devious code can crash structseqs
Thought needed about how much of this counts as a bugfix. Certainly
#526039 needs to be fixed.
platform realloc(p, 0) returns NULL, so MALLOC_ZERO_RETURNS_NULL can
be correctly undefined yet realloc(p, 0) can return NULL anyway.
Prevent realloc(p, 0) doing free(p) and returning NULL via a different
hack. Would probably be better to get rid of MALLOC_ZERO_RETURNS_NULL
entirely.
Bugfix candidate.
Due to the bizarre definition of _PyLong_Copy(), creating an instance
of a subclass of long with a negative value could cause core dumps
later on. Unfortunately it looks like the behavior of _PyLong_Copy()
is quite intentional, so the fix is more work than feels comfortable.
This fix is almost, but not quite, the code that Naofumi Honda added;
in addition, I added a test case.
Objects/
fileobject.c
stringobject.c
unicodeobject.c
This commit doesn't include the cleanup patches for stringobject.c and
unicodeobject.c which are shown separately in the patch manager. Those
patches will be regenerated and applied in a subsequent commit, so as
to preserve a fallback position (this commit to those files).
Fix for the UTF-8 decoder: it will now accept isolated surrogates
(previously it raised an exception which causes round-trips to
fail).
Added new tests for UTF-8 round-trip safety (we rely on UTF-8 for
marshalling Unicode objects, so we better make sure it works for
all Unicode code points, including isolated surrogates).
Bumped the PYC magic in a non-standard way -- please review. This
was needed because the old PYC format used illegal UTF-8 sequences
for isolated high surrogates which now raise an exception.
NULL, so that you can call PyType_Ready() to initialize a type that
is to be separately compiled with C on Windows.
inherit_special(): Add a long comment explaining that you have to set
tp_new if your base class is PyBaseObject_Type.
Fix for SF bug #492345. (I could've sworn I checked this in, but
apparently I didn't!)
This code:
class Classic:
pass
class New(Classic):
__metaclass__ = type
attempts to create a new-style class with only classic bases -- but it
doesn't work right. Attempts to fix it so it works caused problems
elsewhere, so I'm now raising a TypeError in this case.
delivered bizarre results. Check float_divmod for a Py_NotImplemented
return and pass it along (instead of treating Py_NotImplemented as a
2-tuple).
CONVERT_TO_DOUBLE: Added comments; this macro is obscure.
