68db730324 Adding what's done of the documentation for the new profiling &

fa774872b8 Move the section on concrete numeric objects before the section on
concrete sequence objects, since their API is simpler.

This is in response to a comment in SF bug #440037.

d854831ddd Corrected the refcount information for PyList_SET_ITEM(). 2001-07-10 16:19:13 +00:00

bab2965c7c Document PyObject_New(), PyObject_NewVar(), PyObject_Init(),
PyObject_InitVar(), PyObject_Del(), PyObject_NEW(),
PyObject_NEW_VAR(), and PyObject_DEL().

Add notes to PyMem_Malloc() and PyMem_New() about the memory buffers
not being initialized.

This fixes SF bug #439012.


Added explicit return value information for PyList_SetItem(),
PyDict_SetItem(), and PyDict_SetItemString().  Corrected return type
for PyList_SET_ITEM().

Fixed index entries in the descriptions of PyLong_AsLong() and
PyLong_AsUnignedLong().

This fixes the API manual portion of SF bug #440037.


Note that the headers properly declare everything as 'extern "C"' for
C++ users.

Document _Py_NoneStruct.

Added links to the Extending & Embedding manual for PyArg_ParseTuple()
and PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords().

Added note that PyArg_Parse() should not be used in new code.

Fix up a few style nits -- avoid "e.g." and "i.e." -- these make
translation more difficult, as well as reading the English more
difficult for non-native speakers.

e30ac57038 Fix for SF bug #436525, reported by Greg Kochanski:

'Py_BEGIN_UNBLOCK_THREADS'.

96a2a80065 Users of PySequence_GET_FAST() should get the length of the sequence using
PySequence_Size(), not PyObject_Size(): the later considers the mapping
methods as well as the sequence methods, which is not needed here.  Either
should be equally fast in this case, but PySequence_Size() offers a better
conceptual match.

fac312ff88 Do not start API descriptions with "Does the same, but ..." -- actually
state *which* other function the current one is like, even if the
descriptions are adjacent.

Revise the _PyTuple_Resize() description to reflect the removal of the
third parameter.
