missing PyObject_Del()'s, simplify some code by using Py_BuildValue()
instead of creating a tuple with items manually, stop clobbering builtin
exceptions in a few places, and guard against NULL-returning functions some
more.
This fixes 117 of the 780 (!?!#%@#$!!) reference leaks in test_bsddb3. I
ain't not done yet, although this review of 5kloc was just the easy part.
non-32bit platforms. Will still only allow 32 bits in a timestamp on Win64,
but at least it won't crash, and it'll work right on platforms where longs
are big enough to contain time_t's.
(A better-working, although conceptually less-right fix would have been to
use Py_ssize_t here, but Martin and Tim won't let me.)
In C++, it's an error to pass a string literal to a char* function
without a const_cast(). Rather than require every C++ extension
module to put a cast around string literals, fix the API to state the
const-ness.
I focused on parts of the API where people usually pass literals:
PyArg_ParseTuple() and friends, Py_BuildValue(), PyMethodDef, the type
slots, etc. Predictably, there were a large set of functions that
needed to be fixed as a result of these changes. The most pervasive
change was to make the keyword args list passed to
PyArg_ParseTupleAndKewords() to be a const char *kwlist[].
One cast was required as a result of the changes: A type object
mallocs the memory for its tp_doc slot and later frees it.
PyTypeObject says that tp_doc is const char *; but if the type was
created by type_new(), we know it is safe to cast to char *.
* the has_key() method was not raising a DBError when a database error
had occurred. [SF patch id 1212590]
* added a wrapper for the DBEnv.set_lg_regionmax method [SF patch id 1212590]
* DBKeyEmptyError now derives from KeyError just like DBNotFoundError.
* internally everywhere DB_NOTFOUND was checked for has been updated
to also check for DB_KEYEMPTY. This fixes the semantics of a couple
operations on recno and queue databases to be more intuitive and results
in less unexpected DBKeyEmptyError exceptions being raised.
