to the signed max value similar to 2.5 and trunk.
Issue #2620: Overflow checking when allocating or reallocating memory
was not always being done properly in some python types and extension
modules. PyMem_MALLOC, PyMem_REALLOC, PyMem_NEW and PyMem_RESIZE have
all been updated to perform better checks and places in the code that
would previously leak memory on the error path when such an allocation
failed have been fixed.
Added checks for integer overflows, contributed by Google. Some are
only available if asserts are left in the code, in cases where they
can't be triggered from Python code.
Define MAXPATHLEN to be at least PATH_MAX, if that's defined. Python uses
MAXPATHLEN-sized buffers for various output-buffers (like to realpath()),
and that's correct on BSD platforms, but not Linux (which uses PATH_MAX, and
does not define MAXPATHLEN.) Cursory googling suggests Linux is following a
newer standard than BSD, but in cases like this, who knows. Using the
greater of PATH_MAX and 1024 as a fallback for MAXPATHLEN seems to be the
most portable solution.
SF bug #1251300: On UCS-4 builds the "unicode-internal" codec will now complain
about illegal code points. The codec now supports PEP 293 style error handlers.
(This is a variant of the patch by Nik Haldimann that detects truncated data)
