From 68afd55ea92823228709cf9b48795959a01715f9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jeremy Hylton Date: Sat, 7 Aug 2004 19:20:05 +0000 Subject: Subclasses of string can no longer be interned. The semantics of interning were not clear here -- a subclass could be mutable, for example -- and had bugs. Explicitly interning a subclass of string via intern() will raise a TypeError. Internal operations that attempt to intern a string subclass will have no effect. Added a few tests to test_builtin that includes the old buggy code and verifies that calls like PyObject_SetAttr() don't fail. Perhaps these tests should have gone in test_string. --- Objects/stringobject.c | 34 ++++++++++++---------------------- 1 file changed, 12 insertions(+), 22 deletions(-) (limited to 'Objects/stringobject.c') diff --git a/Objects/stringobject.c b/Objects/stringobject.c index 29562a9a8f..f29929b0ec 100644 --- a/Objects/stringobject.c +++ b/Objects/stringobject.c @@ -4313,6 +4313,10 @@ PyString_InternInPlace(PyObject **p) PyObject *t; if (s == NULL || !PyString_Check(s)) Py_FatalError("PyString_InternInPlace: strings only please!"); + /* If it's a string subclass, we don't really know what putting + it in the interned dict might do. */ + if (!PyString_CheckExact(s)) + return; if (PyString_CHECK_INTERNED(s)) return; if (interned == NULL) { @@ -4322,36 +4326,22 @@ PyString_InternInPlace(PyObject **p) return; } } - if ((t = PyDict_GetItem(interned, (PyObject *)s)) != NULL) { + t = PyDict_GetItem(interned, (PyObject *)s); + if (t) { Py_INCREF(t); Py_DECREF(*p); *p = t; return; } - /* Ensure that only true string objects appear in the intern dict */ - if (!PyString_CheckExact(s)) { - t = PyString_FromStringAndSize(PyString_AS_STRING(s), - PyString_GET_SIZE(s)); - if (t == NULL) { - PyErr_Clear(); - return; - } - } else { - t = (PyObject*) s; - Py_INCREF(t); - } - if (PyDict_SetItem(interned, t, t) == 0) { - /* The two references in interned are not counted by - refcnt.
