Fix for rather inaccurately titled bug
[ 1165306 ] Property access with decorator makes interpreter crash
Don't allow the creation of unbound methods with NULL im_class, because
attempting to call such crashes.
Backport candidate.
[ 1124295 ] Function's __name__ no longer accessible in restricted mode
which I introduced with a bit of mindless copy-paste when making
__name__ writable. You can't assign to __name__ in restricted mode,
which I'm going to pretend was intentional :)
In cyclic gc, clear weakrefs to unreachable objects before allowing any
Python code (weakref callbacks or __del__ methods) to run.
This is a critical bugfix, affecting all versions of Python since weakrefs
were introduced. I'll backport to 2.3.
exposed in header files. Fixed a few comments in these headers.
As we might have expected, writing down invariants systematically exposed a
(minor) bug. In this case, function objects have a writeable func_code
attribute, which could be set to code objects with the wrong number of
free variables. Calling the resulting function segfaulted the interpreter.
Added a corresponding test.
Also, add a testcase.
Formerly, the list_extend() code used several local variables to remember
its state across iterations. Since an iteration could call arbitrary
Python code, it was possible for the list state to be changed. The new
code uses dynamic structure references instead of C locals. So, they
are always up-to-date.
After list_resize() is called, its size has been updated but the new
cells are filled with NULLs. These needed to be filled before arbitrary
iteration code was called; otherwise, that code could attempt to modify
a list that was in a semi-invalid state. The solution was to change
the ob->size field back to a value reflecting the actual number of valid
cells.
When an integer is compared to a float now, the int isn't coerced to float.
This avoids spurious overflow exceptions and insane results. This should
compute correct results, without raising spurious exceptions, in all cases
now -- although I expect that what happens when an int/long is compared to
a NaN is still a platform accident.
Note that we had potential problems here even with "short" ints, on boxes
where sizeof(long)==8. There's #ifdef'ed code here to handle that, but
I can't test it as intended. I tested it by changing the #ifdef to
trigger on my 32-bit box instead.
I suppose this is a bugfix candidate, but I won't backport it. It's
long-winded (for speed) and messy (because the problem is messy). Note
that this also depends on a previous 2.4 patch that introduced
_Py_SwappedOp[] as an extern.
