#1494314: Fix a regression with high-numbered sockets in 2.4.3. This
means that select() on sockets > FD_SETSIZE (typically 1024) work again.
The patch makes sockets use poll() internally where available.
about truly wrong code.
Checkin comment from 51262:
Can't return NULL from a void function. If there is a memory error,
about the best we can do is call PyErr_WriteUnraisable and go on.
We won't be able to do the call below either, so verify delstr is valid.
Windows builbot's "build" step to the start of its "test"
step.
This is poke-and-hope. The hope is that compilation failures
on Windows will become visible to the buildbot (bsddb has
apparently been failing to compile in 2.4 on Windows "for
some time" now, but the buildbots haven't noticed that).
fixing an unlikely crash bug in dict resizing, SF
bug 1456209.
The rest of rev 46589 changes whether Python suppresses
exceptions during some dict-related comparisons. While I
think that's a good idea, it does change visible behavior at
times, and there was already some complaining about that on
the trunk. Not a good idea for backporting. The part of
46589 checked in here can at worst stop segfaults, and I doubt
anyone will gripe about that ;-)
- reset errno before calling confstr - use confstr() doc to simplify
checks afterwards
- Correct implementation and documentation of os.confstr. Add a simple
test case. I've yet to figure out how to provoke a None return I can test.
- Address issues brought up by MvL on python-checkins.
I tested this with valgrind on amd64.
The man pages I found for diff architectures are inconsistent on this.
I'm not entirely sure this change is correct for all architectures
either.
Perhaps we should just over-allocate and not worry about it?
The change to return None instead of "" in case of unconfigured
values has not been backported.
Fix problems found by Coverity.
longobject.c: also fix an ssize_t problem
<a> could have been NULL, so hoist the size calc to not use <a>.
[The ssize_t change isn't needed for 2.4. The other changes in this revision
are to modules not present in 2.4. --amk]
Fix problems found by Coverity.
_ssl.c: under fail: self is DECREF'd, but it would have been NULL.
_csv.c: I'm not sure if lineterminator could have been anything other than
a string. However, other string method calls are checked, so check this
one too.
Fix three nits found by Coverity, adding null checks and comments.
[This commit only makes two changes. One change in the original patch
is just adding a comment, and another adds a 'base != NULL' check to
silence Coverity, but a comment adds that that base is never going to
be NULL. I didn't backport that change. --amk]
the need for the out-of-tree universal binary support that was used to build
the 2.4.3 installer.
Missing here relative to that tree are some changes to IDLE, IMHO those patches
aren't appropriate for the 2.4 branch and users are better of using 2.5's IDLE.
