Raise ValueError if user passes a size to mmap which is larger
than the file.
Also need Tim's fix in test_mmap.py, 1.22 which flushes the file
before mmap'ing it.
revision 2.38 of mmapmodule.c
SF bug 515943: searching for data with \0 in mmap.
mmap_find_method(): this obtained the string to find via s#, but it
ignored its length, acting as if it were \0-terminated instead.
Someone please run on Linux too (the extended test_mmap works on Windows).
Bugfix candidate.
type.__module__ behavior.
This adds the module name and a dot in front of the type name in every
type object initializer, except for built-in types (and those that
already had this). Note that it touches lots of Mac modules -- I have
no way to test these but the changes look right. Apologies if they're
not. This also touches the weakref docs, which contains a sample type
object initializer. It also touches the mmap test output, because the
mmap type's repr is included in that output. It touches object.h to
put the correct description in a comment.
This gives mmap() on Windows the ability to create read-only, write-
through and copy-on-write mmaps. A new keyword argument is introduced
because the mmap() signatures diverged between Windows and Unix, so
while they (now) both support this functionality, there wasn't a way to
spell it in a common way without introducing a new spelling gimmick.
The old spellings are still accepted, so there isn't a backward-
compatibility issue here.
Check for slice/item deletion, which calls slice/item assignment with a NULL
value, and raise a TypeError instead of coredumping. Bugreport and suggested
fix by Alex Martelli.
return a (C) long: PyArg_ParseTuple and Py_BuildValue may not let us get
at the size_t we really want, but C int is clearly too small for a 64-bit
box, and both the start parameter and the return value should work for
large mapped files even on 32-bit boxes. The code really needs to be
rethought from scratch (not by me, though ...).
1) it didn't obey the "start" parameter (and when it does, we must validate
the value)
2) the return value needs to be an absolute index, rather than relative to
some arbitrary point in the file
(checking CVS, it appears this method never worked; these changes bring it
into line with typical .find() behavior)
Versions are defined for Windows and Unix; the Unix
flavor uses sysconf() to get the page size; this avoids
the use of getpagesize(), which is deprecated and
requires an additional library on some platforms
(specifically, Reliant UNIX).
This partially closes SourceForge bug #113797.
undefined. ccording to MvL, this is safe: the MS_SYNC flag means that
msync() returns when all I/O operations are scheduled; without it, it
waits until they are complete, which is acceptable behavior.
* After discussion with Trent, all INT_PTR references have been removed in favour of the HANDLE it should always have been. Trent can see no 64bit issues here.
* In this process, I noticed that the close operation was dangerous, in that we could end up passing bogus results to the Win32 API. These result of the API functions passed the bogus values were never (and still are not) checked, but this is closer to "the right thing" (tm) than before.
Tested on Windows and Linux.
Checkin that replaces the INT_PTR types with HANDLEs still TBD (but as that is a "spelling" patch, rather than a functional one, I will commit it seperately.
comments, docstrings or error messages. I fixed two minor things in
test_winreg.py ("didn't" -> "Didn't" and "Didnt" -> "Didn't").
There is a minor style issue involved: Guido seems to have preferred English
grammar (behaviour, honour) in a couple places. This patch changes that to
American, which is the more prominent style in the source. I prefer English
myself, so if English is preferred, I'd be happy to supply a patch myself ;)
just for the sake of it.
note that this only covers the unlikely case that size_t
is smaller than a long; it's probably more likely that
there are platforms out there where size_t is *larger*
than a long, and mmapmodule cannot really deal with that
today.
