can fail, check its return value, and die if it does fail.
_PyGILState_Init(): Assert that the thread doesn't already have an
association for autoTLSkey. If it does, PyThread_set_key_value() will
ignore the attempt to (re)set the association, which the code clearly
doesn't want.
code.
PyThread_set_key_value(): It's clear that this code assumes the passed-in
value isn't NULL, so document that it must not be, and assert that it
isn't. It remains unclear whether existing callers want the odd semantics
actually implemented by this function.
High level error message was stomping useful detailed messages from lower
level routines.
The new approach is to augment string error messages returned by the low
level routines. The provides both high and low level information. If
the exception value is not a string, no changes are made.
To see the improved messages in action, type:
import random
class R(random): pass
class B(bool): pass
Allows the lineno fixup code to remain simple and not have to deal with
multibyte codings.
* Add an assertion to that effect.
* Remove the XXX comment on the subject.
happen in 2.3, but nobody noticed it still was getting generated (the
warning was disabled by default). OverflowWarning and
PyExc_OverflowWarning should be removed for 2.5, and left notes all over
saying so.
* Perform the code length check earlier.
* Eliminate the extra PyMem_Free() upon hitting an EXTENDED_ARG.
* Assert that the NOP count used in jump retargeting matches the NOPs
eliminated in the final step.
* Add an XXX note to indicate that more work is being to done to
handle linenotab with intervals > 255.
* Make a pass to eliminate NOPs. Produce code that is more readable,
more compact, and a tiny bit faster. Makes the peepholer more flexible
in the scope of allowable transformations.
* With Guido's okay, bumped up the magic number so that this patch gets
widely exercised before the alpha goes out.
