Arranged that all the objects exposed by __builtin__ appear in the list
of all objects. I basically peed away two days tracking down a mystery
leak in sys.gettotalrefcount() in a ZODB app (== tons of code), because
the object leaking the references didn't appear in the sys.getobjects(0)
list. The object happened to be False. Now False is in the list, along
with other popular & previously missing leak candidates (like None).
Alas, we still don't have a choke point covering *all* Python objects,
so the list of all objects may still be incomplete.
variables to store internal data. As a result, any atempts to use the
unicode system with multiple active interpreters, or successive
interpreter executions, would fail.
Now that information is stored into members of the PyInterpreterState
structure.
Added two predictions:
GET_ITER --> FOR_ITER
FOR_ITER --> STORE_FAST or UNPACK_SEQUENCE
Improves timings on pybench and timeit.py. Pystone results are neutral.
Applied to common cases:
COMPARE_OP is often followed by a JUMP_IF.
JUMP_IF is usually followed by POP_TOP.
Shows improved timings on PyStone, PyBench, and specific tests
using timeit.py:
python timeit.py -s "x=1" "if x==1: pass"
python timeit.py -s "x=1" "if x==2: pass"
python timeit.py -s "x=1" "if x: pass"
python timeit.py -s "x=100" "while x!=1: x-=1"
Potential future candidates:
GET_ITER predicts FOR_ITER
FOR_ITER predicts STORE_FAST or UNPACK_SEQUENCE
Also, applied missing goto fast_next_opcode to DUP_TOPX.
My previous patches should have used fast_next_opcode
in a few places instead of continue.
Also, applied one PyInt_AS_LONG macro in a place where
the type had already been checked.
rarely needed, but can sometimes be useful to release objects
referenced by the traceback held in sys.exc_info()[2]. (SF patch
#693195.) Thanks to Kevin Jacobs!
import warnings.py _after_ site.py has run. This ensures that site.py
is again the first .py to be imported, giving it back full control over
sys.path.
with an indented code block but no newline would raise SyntaxError.
This would have been a four-line change in parsetok.c... Except
codeop.py depends on this behavior, so a compilation flag had to be
invented that causes the tokenizer to revert to the old behavior;
this required extra changes to 2 .h files, 2 .c files, and 2 .py
files. (Fixes SF bug #501622.)
