    revision 1.74 of marshal.c

Whitespace normalization.

    revision 1.3 of test_marshal.py

Fix SF 588452: debug build crashes on marshal.dumps([128] * 1000).
See there for a description.

Added test case.

Bugfix candidate for 2.2.x, not sure about previous versions:
probably low priority, because virtually no one runs debug builds.

    revision 2.87 of cPickle.c

Do more robust test of whether global objects are accessible.

PyImport_ImportModule() is not guaranteed to return a module object.
When another type of object was returned, the PyModule_GetDict() call
return NULL and the subsequent GetItem() seg faulted.

Bug fix candidate.

----------

Once again, whitespace chances scuppered automatic backporting, so
I did this by hand.  Review probably wise -- but I have run make test!

Also incorporates revision 2.88 which was just removing a now unused
declaration.

    revision 2.265 of bltinmodule.c

date: 2002/08/27 16:58:00;  author: nowonder;  state: Exp;  lines: +1 -1

execfile should call PyErr_SetFromErrnoWithFilename instead of
simply PyErr_SetFromErrno

This closes bug 599163.

    revision 1.12 of config.py

Include an empty body when checking for a header file

(Bugfix candidate for 2.2, and likely 2.1 as well)

    revision 1.57 of pdb.py

At Jim Fulton's request, increase the maxstring value of _saferepr to
a more reasonable value.

Backport candidate.

    revision 1.43 of sre_compile.py



made the code match the comments (1.5.2 compatibility)

    revision 2.102 of abstract.c

Better isinstance error message.

Closes SF patch # 560250.

Bugfix candidate IMO.

    revision 2.101 of abstract.c

abstract_get_bases(): Clarify exactly what the return values and
states can be for this function, and ensure that only AttributeErrors
are masked.  Any other exception raised via the equivalent of
getattr(cls, '__bases__') should be propagated up.

abstract_issubclass(): If abstract_get_bases() returns NULL, we must
call PyErr_Occurred() to see if an exception is being propagated, and
return -1 or 0 as appropriate.  This is the specific fix for a problem
whereby if getattr(derived, '__bases__') raised an exception, an
"undetected error" would occur (under a debug build).  This nasty
situation was uncovered when writing a security proxy extension type
for the Zope3 project, where the security proxy raised a Forbidden
exception on getattr of __bases__.

PyObject_IsInstance(), PyObject_IsSubclass(): After both calls to
abstract_get_bases(), where we're setting the TypeError if the return
value is NULL, we must first check to see if an exception occurred,
and /not/ mask an existing exception.

Neil Schemenauer should double check that these changes don't break
his ExtensionClass examples (there aren't any test cases for those
examples and abstract_get_bases() was added by him in response to
problems with ExtensionClass).  Neil, please add test cases if
possible!

I belive this is a bug fix candidate for Python 2.2.2.

Whitespace normalization made this a pest to backport...

Did a test case ever get added for this?

#544265, Remove warnings for passing const to free()

1.39:
Fix SF bug 610610 (reported by Martijn Pieters, diagnosed by Neal Norwitz).

The switch in Exception__str__ didn't clear the error if
PySequence_Size() raised an exception.  Added a case -1 which clears
the error and falls through to the default case.

1.40:
Two more cases of switch(PySequence_Size()) without checking for case -1.
(Same problem as last checkin for SF bug 610610)
Need to clear the error and proceed.

unicodeobject.c 2.169
stringobject.c 2.189

Fix warnings on 64-bit platforms about casts from pointers to ints.
Two of these were real bugs.

Insert an overflow check when the sequence repetition count is outside
the range of ints.  The old code would pass random truncated bits to
sq_repeat() on a 64-bit machine.

1.51:
Bug #556025: list(xrange(1e9)) --> seg fault

Close the bug report again -- this time for Cygwin due to a newlib bug.
See the following for the details:

	http://sources.redhat.com/ml/newlib/2002/msg00369.html

Note that this commit is only a documentation (i.e., comment) change.

1.54:
The list(xrange(sys.maxint / 4)) test blew up on 64-bit platforms.
Because ob_size is a 32-bit int but sys.maxint is LONG_MAX which is a
64-bit value, there's no way to make this test succeed on a 64-bit
platform.  So just skip it when sys.maxint isn't 0x7fffffff.

(Most of) SF patch 601369 (Christos Georgiou): obmalloc,structmodule:
64bit, big endian (issue 2 only).

This adds a bunch of memcpy calls via a temporary variable to avoid
alignment errors.  That's needed for some platforms.

1.56:
Apply diff3.txt from SF patch http://www.python.org/sf/536241

If a str or unicode method returns the original object,
make sure that for str and unicode subclasses the original
will not be returned.

This should prevent SF bug http://www.python.org/sf/460020
from reappearing.

1.68:
Fix SF bug 599128, submitted by Inyeol Lee: .replace() would do the
wrong thing for a unicode subclass when there were zero string
replacements.  The example given in the SF bug report was only one way
to trigger this; replacing a string of length >= 2 that's not found is
another.  The code would actually write outside allocated memory if
replacement string was longer than the search string.

Add a bunch of sys.stdout.flush() calls that will hopefully improve
the usability of the output of the Xenofarm builds.

SF bug 594996:  OverflowError in random.randrange
Loosened the acceptable 'start' and 'stop' arguments so that any
Python (bounded) ints can be used.  So, e.g., randrange(-sys.maxint-1,
sys.maxint) no longer blows up.

random.gauss() uses a piece of hidden state used by nothing else,
and the .seed() and .whseed() methods failed to reset it.  In other
words, setting the seed didn't completely determine the sequence of
results produced by random.gauss().  It does now.  Programs repeatedly
mixing calls to a seed method with calls to gauss() may see different
results now.

Bugfix candidate (random.gauss() has always been broken in this way),
despite that it may change results.

The test for re.engine was misfiring because re.engine is no longer
defined and the default was "pre" instead of "sre".  Give up on 1.5.2
compatibility, hardcode the sre solution.  However, this XXX comment
still applies, AFAIK:
        # XXX This code depends on internals of the regular expression
        # engine!  There's no standard API to do a substitution when you
        # have already found the match.  One should be added.

Convert characters from the locale's encoding on output.
Reject characters outside the locale's encoding on input.
