XXX [1] These changes aren't tested very thoroughly, because regrtest
doesn't do any SSL tests. I've done some trivial tests on my own, but
don't really know how to use the key and cert files. In one case, an
SSL-level error causes Python to dump core. I'll get the fixed in the
next round of changes.
XXX [2] The checkin removes the x_attr member of the SSLObject struct.
I'm not sure if this is kosher for backwards compatibility at the
binary level. Perhaps its safer to keep the member but keep it
assigned to NULL.
And the leaks?
newSSLObject() called PyDict_New(), stored the result in x_attr
without checking it, and later stored NULL in x_attr without doing
anything to the dict. So the dict always leaks. There is no further
reference to x_attr, so I just removed it completely.
The error cases in newSSLObject() passed the return value of
PyString_FromString() directly to PyErr_SetObject().
PyErr_SetObject() expects a borrowed reference, so the string leaked.
pyport.h: typedef a new Py_intptr_t type.
DELICATE ASSUMPTION: That HAVE_UINTPTR_T implies intptr_t is
available as well as uintptr_t. If that turns out not to be
true, things must get uglier (C99 wants both, so I think it's
an assumption we're *likely* to get away with).
thread_nt.h, PyThread_start_new_thread: MS _beginthread is documented
as returning unsigned long; no idea why uintptr_t was being used.
Others: Always use Py_[u]intptr_t, never [u]intptr_t directly.
New functions getnameinfo, getaddrinfo. New exceptions socket.gaierror,
socket.herror. Various new constants, in particular AF_INET6 and error
codes and parameters for getaddrinfo.
AF_INET6 support in setipaddr, makesockaddr, getsockaddr, getsockaddrlen,
gethost_common, PySocket_gethostbyaddr.
