Wrote down the invariants of some common objects whose structure is

2004-10-28T16:32:00+00:00

exposed in header files.  Fixed a few comments in these headers.

As we might have expected, writing down invariants systematically exposed a
(minor) bug.  In this case, function objects have a writeable func_code
attribute, which could be set to code objects with the wrong number of
free variables.  Calling the resulting function segfaulted the interpreter.
Added a corresponding test.

Use appropriate macros not the deprecated DL_IMPORT/DL_EXPORT macros

Use Py_GCC_ATTRIBUTE instead of attribute. Compilers other than GCC

2002-09-15T14:09:54+00:00

might use __attribute__ in other ways (e.g. CodeWarrior).

SF patch 576101, by Oren Tirosh: alternative implementation of

2002-08-19T21:43:18+00:00

interning.  I modified Oren's patch significantly, but the basic idea
and most of the implementation is unchanged.  Interned strings created
with PyString_InternInPlace() are now mortal, and you must keep a
reference to the resulting string around; use the new function
PyString_InternImmortal() to create immortal interned strings.

Patch #505705: Remove eval in pickle and cPickle.

Excise DL_EXPORT from Include.

Thanks to Skip Montanaro and Kalle Svensson for the patches.

- A new type object, 'string', is added. This is a common base type

2002-05-24T19:01:59+00:00

  for 'str' and 'unicode', and can be used instead of
  types.StringTypes, e.g. to test whether something is "a string":
  isinstance(x, string) is True for Unicode and 8-bit strings.  This
  is an abstract base class and cannot be instantiated directly.

Remove the CACHE_HASH and INTERN_STRINGS preprocessor symbols.

2002-03-29T03:29:08+00:00

Add function attributes that allow GCC to check the arguments of printf-like

2001-10-23T02:21:22+00:00

functions.
