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.
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.
* unified the way intobject, longobject and mystrtoul handle
values around -sys.maxint-1.
* in general, trying to entierely avoid overflows in any computation
involving signed ints or longs is extremely involved. Fixed a few
simple cases where a compiler might be too clever (but that's all
guesswork).
* more overflow checks against bad data in marshal.c.
As mentioned on python-dev, reverting patch #1504333 because it introduced
an infinite loop in rev 47154.
This patch also adds a test to prevent the regression.
Fixed a few bugs on cjkcodecs:
- gbk and gb18030 codec now handle U+30FB KATAKANA MIDDLE DOT correctly.
- iso2022_jp_2 codec now encodes into G0 for KS X 1001, GB2312
codepoints to conform the standard.
- iso2022_jp_3 and iso2022_jp_2004 codec can encode JIS X 0213:2
codepoints now.
Fix SF bug #1545837: array.array borks on deepcopy.
array.__deepcopy__() needs to take an argument, even if it doesn't actually
use it. Will backport to 2.5 and 2.4 (if applicable.)
