- Got rid of inspection of some environment variables.
- Got rid of Py_GetProgramName() and related logic.
- Print the version header *after* successful initialization.
for more!).
- The global flags that can be set from environment variables are now
set in Py_Initialize (except the silly Py_SuppressPrint, which no
longer exists). This saves duplicate code in frozenmain.c and main.c.
- Py_GetProgramName() is now here; added Py_SetProgramName(). An
embedding program should no longer provide Py_GetProgramName(),
instead it should call Py_SetProgramName() *before* calling
Py_Initialize().
PyThreadState pointer instead of a (frame) PyObject pointer. This
makes much more sense. It is backward incompatible, but that's no
problem, because (a) the heaviest users are the Py_{BEGIN,END}_
ALLOW_THREADS macros here, which have been fixed too; (b) there are
very few direct users; (c) those who use it are there will probably
appreciate the change.
Also, added new functions PyEval_AcquireThread() and
PyEval_ReleaseThread() which allows the threads created by the thread
module as well threads created by others (!) to set/reset the current
thread, and at the same time acquire/release the interpreter lock.
Much saner.
int+int, int-int, int <compareop> int, and list[int].
(Unfortunately, int*int is way too much code to inline.)
Also corrected a NULL that should have been a zero.
replaces its own entry in sys.module, reference count errors ensue;
even if there is no reference count problem, it would be preferable
for the import to yield the new thing in sys.modules anyway (if only
because that's what later imports will yield). This opens the road to
an official hack to implement a __getattr__ like feature for modules:
stick an instance in sys.modules[__name__].
have a unique name, otherwise they get squished by locals2fast (or
fast2locals, I dunno) when the debugger is invoked before they have
been transferred to real locals.
get/set/del item). This removes a pile of duplication. There's no
abstract operator for 'not' but I removed the function call for it
anyway -- it's a little faster in-line.
dirname in sys.path. This means that you can create a symbolic link
foo in /usr/local/bin pointing to /usr/yourname/src/foo/foo.py, and
then invoking foo will insert /usr/yourname/src/foo in sys.path, not
/usr/local/bin. This makes it easier to have multifile programs
(before, the program would have to do an os.readlink(sys.argv[0])
itself and insert the resulting directory in sys.path -- Grail does
this).
Note that the expansion is only used for sys.path; sys.argv[0] is
still the original, unadorned filename (/usr/local/bin/foo in the
example).
2. Fix two bugs in complex():
- Memory leak when using complex(classinstance) -- r was never
DECREF'ed.
- Conversion of the second argument, if not complex, was done using
the type vector of the 1st.
recognized by the code generator and code generation for the test and
the subsequent suite is suppressed.
One must write *exactly* ``if __debug__:'' or ``elif __debug__:'' --
no parentheses or operators must be present, or the optimization is
not carried through. Whitespace doesn't matter. Other uses of
__debug__ will find __debug__ defined as 0 or 1 in the __builtin__
module.
Py_FdIsInteractive(). The flag is supposed to be set by the -i
command line option. The function is supposed to be called instead of
isatty(). This is used for Lee Busby's wish #1, to have an option
that pretends stdin is interactive even when it really isn't.
by the frameobject dealloc when it is time for the locals to go. When
there's still a traceback object referencing this stack frame, we
don't want the local variables to disappear yet.
(Hmm... Shouldn't they be copied to the f_locals dictionary?)
- Use co->... instead of f->f_code->...; save an extra lookup of what
we already have in a local variable).
- Remove test for nlocals > 0 before setting fastlocals to
f->f_localsplus; 0 is a rare case and the assignment is safe even
then.
called with keyword arguments -- the keyword and value were leaked.
This affected for instance with a __call__() method.
Bug reported and fix supplied by Jim Fulton.
i.e., counting opcode frequencies, or (with DXPAIRS defined) opcode
pair frequencies. Define DYNAMIC_EXECUTION_PROFILE on the command
line (for this file and for sysmodule.c) to enable.
table which is incorporated in the code object. This way, the runtime
overhead to keep track of line numbers is only incurred when an
exception has to be reported.
This is safe now that both intrcheck() and signalmodule.c schedule a
sigcheck() call via Py_AddPendingCall().
This gives another 7% speedup (never run such a test twice ;-).
to PyCode_New() argument list. Move MAXBLOCKS constant to conpile.h.
Added accurate calculation of the actual stack size needed by the
generated code.
Also commented out all fprintf statements (except for a new one to
diagnose stack underflow, and one in #ifdef'ed out code), and added
some new TO DO suggestions (now that the stacksize is taken of the TO
DO list).
The raise logic has one additional feature: if you raise <class>,
<value> where <value> is not an instance, it will construct an
instance using <value> as argument. If <value> is None, <class> is
instantiated without arguments. If <value> is a tuple, it is used as
the argument list.
This feature is intended to make it easier to upgrade code from using
string exceptions to using class exceptions; without this feature,
you'd have to change every raise statement from ``raise X'' to ``raise
X()'' and from ``raise X, y'' to ``raise X(y)''. The latter is still
the recommended form (because it has no ambiguities about the number
of arguments), but this change makes the transition less painful.
be Ellipsis!).
Bumped the API version because a linker-visible symbol is affected.
Old C code will still compile -- there's a b/w compat macro.
Similarly, old Python code will still run, builtin exports both
Ellipses and Ellipsis.
- support for SCO_SV dynamic loading
- on Mac, auto-detect dynamic loading by __CFM68K__ or _powerc)
- on Mac, long shared library extension is .cfm68k.slb or .ppc.slb
- on hp, don't redefine hpux if already defined
- add __file__ property to successfully loaded module
Geoff Philbrick <philbric@delphi.hks.com> (slightly changed by me).
Also a little change to make the file acceptable to K&R C compilers
(HPUX, SunOS 4.x).
directory containing argv[0] is inserted in front of sys.path.
If argv[0] contains no directory, an empty string is inserted.
If argv is empty, nothing happens.
getcounts() returns a list of counts of allocations and
deallocations for all different object types.
getobjects(n [, type ]) returns a list of recently allocated
and not-yet-freed objects of the given type (all
objects if no type given). Only the n most recent
(all if n==0) objects are returned.
getcounts is only available if compiled with -DCOUNT_ALLOCS,
getobjects is only available if compiled with -DTRACE_REFS. Note that
everything must be compiled with these options!
- Assume files of types 'PYC ' and 'APPL' are compiled python code
- For mwerks, show status line when program has terminated while
keeping window open.
bltinmodule.c: fixed coerce() nightmare in ternary pow().
modsupport.c (initmodule2): pass METH_FREENAME flag to newmethodobject().
pythonrun.c: move flushline() into and around print_error().
global: Py_MakePendingCalls. Also guard against recursive calls
* Include/classobject.h, Objects/classobject.c,
Python/{ceval.c,bltinmodule.c}: entirely redone operator
overloading. The rules for class instances are now much more
relaxed than for other built-in types
(whose coerce must still return two objects of the same type)
Include/modsupport.h: moved getargs() to its own file and
re-implemented it entirely to support optional arguments, multiple
arguments without surrounding parentheses
(when called as newgetargs()), and better error messages
mac/macsetfiletype.c: changes by Jack to execute .pyc file passed
as command line argument. On the Mac .pyc files are given a
special type so they can be double-clicked
*module.o/*module.so
* Python/import.c: if initializing a module did not enter the
module into sys.modules, it may have raised an exception -- don't
override this exception.
Merged NT changes
* Python/import.c: add lost NT-specific code back in
Fixed NT changes
In Pythonrun, tirn off SIGPIPE and move signal handlers elsewhere.
In ceval.c, also move locals_2_fast/ fast_2_locals to frameobject.c,
replaced local variable trace by f->f_trace, got rid of unused
mergelocals() and unneeded calls to fast_2_locals, return the variable
name on "fast variable not found", AND use "__call__" method if it
exists to call an inmstance. Whew!
compile.c: lists and dictionary in code objects become tuples
import.c: bump MAGIC
thread*.[ch]: added thread_ident() function
version.c: added '++' to version number and bumped date
* traceback.c (tb_print): use sys.tracebacklimit as a maximum number of
traceback entries to print (default 1000).
* ceval.c (printtraceback): Don't print stack trace header -- this is now
done by tb_print().
* funcobject.c (func_repr): don't call getstringvalue(None) for anonymous
functions.
* bltinmodule.c: removed lambda (which is now a built-in function);
removed implied lambda for string arg to filter/map/reduce.
* Grammar, graminit.[ch], compile.[ch]: replaced lambda as built-in
function by lambda as grammar entity: instead of "lambda('x: x+1')" you
write "lambda x: x+1".
* Xtmodule.c (checkargdict): return 0, not NULL, for error.
* posixmodule.c: don't prototype getcwd() -- it's not portable...
* mappingobject.c: double-check validity of last_name_char in
dict{lookup,insert,remove}.
* arraymodule.c: need memmove only for non-STDC Suns.
* Makefile: comment out HTML_LIBS and XT_USE by default
* pythonmain.c: don't prototype getopt() -- it's not standardized
* socketmodule.c: cast flags arg to {get,set}sockopt() and addrbuf arg to
recvfrom() to (ANY*).
* pythonrun.c (initsigs): fix prototype, make it static
* intobject.c (LONG_BIT): only #define it if not already defined
* classobject.[ch]: remove all references to unused instance_convert()
* mappingobject.c (getmappingsize): Don't return NULL in int function.
each dir in sys.path, try each possible extension. (Note: C extensions
are loaded before Python modules in the same directory, to allow having
a C version used when dynamic loading is supported and a Python version
as a back-up.)
* import.c (reload_module): test for error from getmodulename()
* moduleobject.c: implement module name as dict entry '__name__' instead
of special-casing it in module_getattr(); this way a module (or
function!) can access its own module name, and programs that know what
they are doing can rename modules.
* stdwinmodule.c (initstdwin): strip ".py" suffix of argv[0].
* {tuple,list,mapping,array}object.c: call printobject with 0 for flags
* compile.c (parsestr): use quote instead of '\'' at one crucial point
* arraymodule.c (array_getattr): Added __members__ attribute
* object.[ch], bltinmodule.c, fileobject.c: changed str() to call
strobject() which calls an object's __str__ method if it has one.
strobject() is also called by writeobject() when PRINT_RAW is passed.
* ceval.c: rationalize code for PRINT_ITEM (no change in function!)
* funcobject.c, codeobject.c: added compare and hash functionality.
Functions with identical code objects and the same global dictionary are
equal. Code objects are equal when their code, constants list and names
list are identical (i.e. the filename and code name don't count).
(hash doesn't work yet since the constants are in a list and lists can't
be hashed -- suppose this should really be done with a tuple now we have
resizetuple!)
careful about these.
* arraymodule.c: added 8 byte swap; added 'i' format character; added
reverse() method; rename read/write to fromfile/tofile.
* config.c: Set version to 0.9.9++.
* rotormodule.c (r_rand): declare k1..k5 as unsigned longs so the shifts
will have a well-defined effect independent of word size.
* bltinmodule.c: renamed bagof() to filter().
setlistslice() can be used to cut the unused part out of a freshly made
slice (as done by bagof()). [needed by the next mod!]
* structural changes to bagof(), map() etc.
* PROTO.h, mymalloc.h: added #ifdefs for TURBOC and GNUC.
* allobjects.h: added #include "rangeobject.h"
* Grammar: added lambda_input; relaxed syntax for exec.
* bltinmodule.c: added bagof, map, reduce, lambda, xrange.
* tupleobject.[ch]: added resizetuple().
* rangeobject.[ch]: new object type to speed up range operations (not
convinced this is needed!!!)
function vs. exec statement
* bltinmodule.c: renamed the module to __builtin__.
* posixmodule.c (posix_execv): renamed exec --> execv since it is now a
reserved word.
* Grammar: add exec statement; allow testlist in expr statement.
* ceval.c, compile.c, opcode.h: support exec statement;
avoid optimizing locals when it is used
* fileobject.{c,h}: add getfilename() internal function.
no longer done by config.c).
* stdwinmodule.c (initstdwin), config.c (initall): get command line
arguments from sys.argv instead of special-casing stdwin in config.c
* import.c (get_module): fix core dump when foomodule.o does not define
initfoo().
* ChangeLog: documented changes by Sjoerd.
without .py file); Bill's dynamic loading for SunOS using shared
libraries.
pwdmodule.c (mkgrent): remove DECREF of uninitialized variable.
classobject.c (instance_getattr): Fix case when class lookup returns
unbound method instead of function.
image objects, and lots of new methods.
* Added counting of allocations and deallocations of builtin types if
COUNT_ALLOCS is defined. Had to move calls to NEWREF down in some
files.
* Bug fix in sorting lists.
* many files: made some functions static; removed "extern int errno;".
* frozenmain.c: fixed bugs introduced on 24 June...
* flmodule.c: remove 1.5 bw compat hacks, add new functions in 2.2a
(and some old functions that were omitted).
* timemodule.c: added MSDOS floatsleep version .
* pgenmain.c: changed exit() to goaway() and added defn of goaway().
* intrcheck.c: add hack (to UNIX only) so interrupting 3 times
will exit from a hanging program. The second interrupt prints
a message explaining this to the user.
(the latter also in frozenmain.c)
* ceval.c: global 'killprint' flag raises exception when printing an
expression statement's value (useful for finding stray output)
* timemodule.c: add asctime() and ctime(). Change julian date to
1-based origin (as intended and documented).
* Removed unused DO_TIMES stuff from timemodule.c. Added 'epoch' and
'day0' globals (year where time.time() == 0 and day of the week the
epoch started).
Added $(SYSDEF) to its build rule in Makefile.
* cgensupport.[ch], modsupport.[ch]: removed some old stuff. Also
changed files that still used it... And made several things static
that weren't but should have been... And other minor cleanups...
* listobject.[ch]: add external interfaces {set,get}listslice
* socketmodule.c: fix bugs in new send() argument parsing.
* sunaudiodevmodule.c: added flush() and close().
function found as instance data.
* socketmodule.c: added 'flags' argument sendto/recvfrom, rewrite
argument parsing in send/recv.
* More changes related to access (terminology change: owner instead of
class; allow any object as owner; local/global variables are owned
by their dictionary, only class/instance data is owned by the class;
"from...import *" now only imports objects with public access; etc.)
