(64-bit AIX) This is because the RECURSION_LIMIT is too low. This patch lowers
to recusion limit to 7500 such that the recusion check fires before a segfault.
Fredrik suggested/approved the fix in private email, modulo sre's recusion
limit checking no being necessary when PyOS_CheckStack is implemented for
Windows.
Minor updates for BeOS R5.
Use of OSError in test.test_fork1 changed to TestSkipped, with corresponding
change in BeOS/README (by Fred).
This closes SourceForge patch #100978.
in binascii.c (only on platforms with signed chars -- although Py_CHARMASK
is documented as returning an int, it only does so on platforms with
signed chars).
commonly used functions to convert an arbitrary binary string into
a hexadecimal digit representation and back again. These are often
(and often differently) implemented in Python. Best to have one
common fast implementation. Specifically,
binascii_hexlify(): a.k.a. b2a_hex() to return the hex representation
of binary data.
binascii_unhexlify(): a.k.a. a2b_hex() to do the inverse conversion
(hex digits to binary data). The argument must have an even length,
and must contain only hex digits, otherwise a TypeError is raised.
after a brief conversation with TP. First, the return values of the
PyString_* function calls should be checked for errors. Second,
bit-manipulations should be used instead of division for spliting the
byte up into its 4 bit digits.
This is an enhancement to a prior patch (100941) ...
[T]his patch removes the risk of deadlock waiting for the child previously present in certain cases. It adds tracking of all file handles returned from an os.popen* call and only waits for the child process, returning the exit code, on the closure of the final file handle to that child.
and fwrite return size_t, so it is safer to cast up to the largest type for the
comparison. I believe the cast is required at all to remove compiler warnings.
(this should fix Sjoerd's xmllib problem)
-- added skip field to INFO header
-- changed compiler to generate charset INFO header
-- changed trace messages to support post-mortem analysis
