SF patch #1630975: Fix crash when replacing sys.stdout in sitecustomize
When running the interpreter in an environment that would cause it to set
stdout/stderr/stdin's encoding, having a sitecustomize that would replace
them with something other than PyFile objects would crash the interpreter.
Fix it by simply ignoring the encoding-setting for non-files.
This could do with a test, but I can think of no maintainable and portable
way to test this bug, short of adding a sitecustomize.py to the buildsystem
and have it always run with it (hmmm....)
Prevent crash on shutdown which can occur if we are finalizing
and the module dict has been cleared already and some object
raises a warning (like in a __del__).
Fix bug #1565514, SystemError not raised on too many nested blocks.
It seems like this should be a different error than SystemError, but
I don't have any great ideas and SystemError was raised in 2.4 and earlier.
Add some asserts. In sysmodule, I think these were to try to silence
some warnings from Klokwork. They verify the assumptions of the format
of svn version output.
The assert in the thread module helped debug a problem on HP-UX.
* unified the way intobject, longobject and mystrtoul handle
values around -sys.maxint-1.
* in general, trying to entierely avoid overflows in any computation
involving signed ints or longs is extremely involved. Fixed a few
simple cases where a compiler might be too clever (but that's all
guesswork).
* more overflow checks against bad data in marshal.c.
* 2.5 specific: fixed a number of places that were still confusing int
and Py_ssize_t. Some of them could potentially have caused
"real-world" breakage.
* list.pop(x): fixing overflow issues on x was messy. I just reverted
to PyArg_ParseTuple("n"), which does the right thing. (An obscure
test was trying to give a Decimal to list.pop()... doesn't make
sense any more IMHO)
* trying to write a few tests...
Bug #1557232: fix seg fault with def f((((x)))) and def f(((x),)).
These tests should be improved. Hopefully this fixes variations when
flipping back and forth between fpdef and fplist.
