[Re-did unicodeobject.c - it's changed a lot since 2.1 :) Pretty confident
that it's correct]
Repair widespread misuse of _PyString_Resize. Since it's clear people
don't understand how this function works, also beefed up the docs. The
most common usage error is of this form (often spread out across gotos):
if (_PyString_Resize(&s, n) < 0) {
Py_DECREF(s);
s = NULL;
goto outtahere;
}
The error is that if _PyString_Resize runs out of memory, it automatically
decrefs the input string object s (which also deallocates it, since its
refcount must be 1 upon entry), and sets s to NULL. So if the "if"
branch ever triggers, it's an error to call Py_DECREF(s): s is already
NULL! A correct way to write the above is the simpler (and intended)
if (_PyString_Resize(&s, n) < 0)
goto outtahere;
Bugfix candidate.

- In _portable_ftell(), try fgetpos() before ftello() and ftell64().
I ran into a situation on a 64-bit capable Linux where the C
library's ftello() and ftell64() returned negative numbers despite
fpos_t and off_t both being 64-bit types; fgetpos() did the right
thing.
- Define a new typedef, Py_off_t, which is either fpos_t or off_t,
depending on which one is 64 bits. This removes the need for a lot
of #ifdefs later on. (XXX Should this be moved to pyport.h? That
file currently seems oblivious to large fille support, so for now
I'll leave it here where it's needed.)
simpler if we use fgetpos and fsetpos, rather than trying to mess with
platform-specific TELL64 alternatives.
Of course, this hasn't been tested on a 64-bit platform, so I may have
to withdraw this -- but I'm hopeful, and Trent Mick supports this
patch!
faster than the other. Should be faster for Mark Favas's 254-character
mail log lines, and *is* 3-4% quicker for my test case with much shorter
lines (but they're typical of *my* text files, and I'm tired of optimizing
for everyone else at my expense <wink> -- in fact, the only one who loses
here is Guido ...).
Tim discovered another "bug" in my get_line() code: while the comments
said that n<0 was invalid, it was in fact still called with n<0 (when
PyFile_GetLine() was called with n<0). In that case fortunately
executed the same code as for n==0.
Changed the comment to admit this fact, and changed Tim's MS speed
hack code to use 'n <= 0' as the criteria for the speed hack.
code duplication is to let us get away without a realloc whenever possible;
boosted the init buf size (the cutoff at which we *can* get away without
a realloc) from 100 to 200 so that more files can enjoy this boost; and
allowed other threads to run in all cases. The last two cost something,
but not significantly: in my fat test case, less than a 1% slowdown total.
Since my test case has a great many short lines, that's probably the worst
slowdown, too. While the logic barely changed, there were lots of edits.
This also gets rid of the reference to fp->_cnt, so the last platform
assumption being made here is that fgets doesn't overwrite bytes
capriciously (== beyond the terminating null byte it must write).
variant that never needs to "search from the right".
Also fixed unlikely memory leak in get_line, if string size overflows INTMAX.
Also new std test test_bufio to make sure .readline() works.
realized that this behavior is already present in PyFile_GetLine(),
which is the only place that needs it. A little refactoring of that
function made get_line_raw() redundant.
- The raw_input() functionality is moved to a separate function.
- Drop GNU getline() in favor of getc_unlocked(), which exists on more
platforms (and is even a tad faster on my system).
Add definitions of INT_MAX and LONG_MAX to pyport.h.
Remove includes of limits.h and conditional definitions of INT_MAX
and LONG_MAX elsewhere.
This closes SourceForge patch #101659 and bug #115323.
