the Ctrl-C signal handler on Windows

the Ctrl-C signal handler on Windows

Original patch by Hallvard B Furuseth.

the following case: sys.stdin.read() stopped with CTRL+d (end of file),
raw_input() interrupted by CTRL+c.

clear the end-of-file indicator after CTRL+d.

(EINTR), for example if the program is stopped with CTRL+z on Mac OS X. Patch
written by Charles-Francois Natali.

  #2560: remove an unnecessary 'for' loop from my_fgets() in Parser/myreadline.c.
  Noted by Joseph Armbruster; patch by Jessica McKellar.

  The original code was 'for (;;) {...}', where ... ended
  with a 'return -2' statement and did not contain a 'break' or 'continue'
  statement.  Therefore, the body of the loop is always executed once.

  Once upon a time there was a 'continue' in the loop, but it was removed in
  rev36346, committed by mwh on Wed Jul 7 17:44:12 2004.

number of tests, all because of the codecs/_multibytecodecs issue described
here (it's not a Py3K issue, just something Py3K discovers):
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2006-April/064051.html

Hye-Shik Chang promised to look for a fix, so no need to fix it here. The
tests that are expected to break are:

test_codecencodings_cn
test_codecencodings_hk
test_codecencodings_jp
test_codecencodings_kr
test_codecencodings_tw
test_codecs
test_multibytecodec

This merge fixes an actual test failure (test_weakref) in this branch,
though, so I believe merging is the right thing to do anyway.

because (essentially) I didn't realise that PY_BEGIN/END_ALLOW_THREADS
actually expanded to nothing under a no-threads build, so if you somehow
NULLed out the threadstate (e.g. by calling PyThread_SaveThread) it would
stay NULLed when you return to Python.  Argh!

Backport candidate.

[ 987287 ] Python 2.4a1, interpreter hanging on Keyboard Interrupt

isn't always set to an integer value when it's defined.

[ 960406 ] unblock signals in threads

although the changes do not correspond exactly to any patch attached to
that report.

Non-main threads no longer have all signals masked.

A different interface to readline is used.

The handling of signals inside calls to PyOS_Readline is now rather
different.

These changes are all a bit scary!  Review and cross-platform testing
much appreciated.

This gets us closer to consistent Ctrl+C behaviour on NT and Win9x.  NT now reliably generates KeyboardInterrupt exceptions for NT when a file IO operation was aborted.  Bugfix candidate

Add definitions of INT_MAX and LONG_MAX to pyport.h.
Remove includes of limits.h and conditional definitions of INT_MAX
and LONG_MAX elsewhere.

This closes SourceForge patch #101659 and bug #115323.

This should match the situation in the 1.6b1 tree.

Work around intrcheck.c's desire to pass 'PyErr_CheckSignals' to
'Py_AddPendingCall' by providing a (static) wrapper function that has the
right number of arguments.

For more comments, read the patches@python.org archives.
For documentation read the comments in mymalloc.h and objimpl.h.

(This is not exactly what Vladimir posted to the patches list; I've
made a few changes, and Vladimir sent me a fix in private email for a
problem that only occurs in debug mode.  I'm also holding back on his
change to main.c, which seems unnecessary to me.)

never executed because of a return statement.  Sigh.

held.  It releases the lock around the call to the function pointed to by
PyOS_ReadlineFunctionPointer (default PyOS_StdioReadline()).

Also cleaned out some CR's left by the VC++ editor.

Add Py_input_hook (used by _tkinter and perhaps Gist).

Also grandly renamed.

Here's the new interface:

When WITH_READLINE is defined, two functions are defined:

  - PyOS_GnuReadline (what used to be my_readline() with WITH_READLINE)
  - PyOS_ReadlineInit (for Dave Ascher)

Always, these functions are defined:

  - PyOS_StdioReadline (what used to be my_readline() without WITH_READLINE)
  - PyOS_Readline (the interface used by tokenizer.c and [raw_]input().

There's a global function pointer PyOS_ReadlineFunctionPointer,
initialized to NULL.  When PyOS_Readline finds this to be NULL, it
sets it to either PyOS_GnuReadline or PyOS_StdioReadline depending on
which one makes more sense (i.e. it uses GNU only if it is defined
*and* stdin is indeed a tty device).

An embedding program that has its own wishes can set the function
pointer to a function of its own design.  It should take a char*
prompt argument (which may be NULL) and return a string *ending in a
\n character* -- or "" for EOF or NULL for a user interrupt.
