Implement sys.maxunicode.
Explicitly wrap around upper/lower computations for wide Py_UNICODE.
When decoding large characters with UTF-8, represent expected test
results using the \U notation.
Add configure option --enable-unicode.
Add config.h macros Py_USING_UNICODE, PY_UNICODE_TYPE, Py_UNICODE_SIZE,
SIZEOF_WCHAR_T.
Define Py_UCS2.
Encode and decode large UTF-8 characters into single Py_UNICODE values
for wide Unicode types; likewise for UTF-16.
Remove test whether sizeof Py_UNICODE is two.
"mapping" object, specifically one that supports PyMapping_Keys() and
PyObject_GetItem(). This allows you to say e.g. {}.update(UserDict())
We keep the special case for concrete dict objects, although that
seems moderately questionable. OTOH, the code exists and works, so
why change that?
.update()'s docstring already claims that D.update(E) implies calling
E.keys() so it's appropriate not to transform AttributeErrors in
PyMapping_Keys() to TypeErrors.
Patch eyeballed by Tim.
unicodeobject.h, which forces sizeof(Py_UNICODE) == sizeof(Py_UCS4).
(this may be good enough for platforms that doesn't have a 16-bit
type. the UTF-16 codecs don't work, though)
the next free valuestack slot, not to the base (in America, stacks push
and pop at the top -- they mutate at the bottom in Australia <winK>).
eval_frame(): assert that f_stacktop isn't NULL upon entry.
frame_delloc(): avoid ordered pointer comparisons involving f_stacktop
when f_stacktop is NULL.
i_divmod: New and simpler algorithm. Old one returned gibberish on most
boxes when the numerator was -sys.maxint-1. Oddly enough, it worked in the
release (not debug) build on Windows, because the compiler optimized away
some tricky sign manipulations that were incorrect in this case.
Makes you wonder <wink> ...
Bugfix candidate.
Gave Python linear-time repr() implementations for dicts, lists, strings.
This means, e.g., that repr(range(50000)) is no longer 50x slower than
pprint.pprint() in 2.2 <wink>.
I don't consider this a bugfix candidate, as it's a performance boost.
Added _PyString_Join() to the internal string API. If we want that in the
public API, fine, but then it requires runtime error checks instead of
asserts.
is allocated than needed (used to allocate 80 bytes of digit space no
matter how small the long input). This also runs faster, at least on 32-
bit boxes.
