a Py_BEGIN_ALLOW_THREADS/Py_END_ALLOW_THREADS block, but it
calls Py_BLOCK_THREADS anyway. The change moves Py_BLOCK_THREADS
to inside the if, so it's only executed when the function
actually returns unexpectedly.
Attached you find an update of the Unicode implementation.
The patch is against the current CVS version. I would appreciate
if someone with CVS checkin permissions could check the changes
in.
The patch contains all bugs and patches sent this week and also
fixes a leak in the codecs code and a bug in the free list code
for Unicode objects (which only shows up when compiling Python
with Py_DEBUG; thanks to MarkH for spotting this one).
This patch fixes 3 small problems.
1) If a map is used which is generated with 'makedbm -a',
the trailing '\0' is now handled correctely.
2) The nis.maps() function skipped the first map in the output list.
3) The library '-lnsl' is added in Setup.in (needed on Linux glibc2 and
Solaris systems. Maybe on other systems too?)
[I note that this still doesn't work when you are using NIS+ --GvR]
This patch allows building the Python 'mpzmodule' under SuSE Linux
without having to install the source package of the GMP-libary.
The gmp-mparam.h seems to be an internal header file. The patch
shouldn't hurt any other platforms.
The same problem (mixed mallocs) exists for the pcre stack.
The buffers md->... are allocated via PyMem_RESIZE in grow_stack(),
while in free_stack() they are released with free() instead of
PyMem_DEL().
The buffers self->regex and self->regex_extra are allocated in
pcre_compile() and pcre_study() via pcre_malloc, but are released
via free() instead of pcre_free.
(e.g. used for ZIP files).
The patch includes code that says:
+ Copyright (C) 1986 Gary S. Brown. You may use this program, or
+ code or tables extracted from it, as desired without restriction.
My interpretation (and Jim's) is that Gary S Brown has no claims under
copyright, patent or other rights or interests. Lawyers might disagree.
