-- reverted REPEAT operator to use "repeat context" strategy
(from 0.8.X), but done right this time.
-- got rid of backtracking stack; use nested SRE_MATCH calls
instead (should probably put it back again in 0.9.9 ;-)
-- properly reset state in scanner mode
-- don't use aggressive inlining by default
* After discussion with Trent, all INT_PTR references have been removed in favour of the HANDLE it should always have been. Trent can see no 64bit issues here.
* In this process, I noticed that the close operation was dangerous, in that we could end up passing bogus results to the Win32 API. These result of the API functions passed the bogus values were never (and still are not) checked, but this is closer to "the right thing" (tm) than before.
Tested on Windows and Linux.
Checkin that replaces the INT_PTR types with HANDLEs still TBD (but as that is a "spelling" patch, rather than a functional one, I will commit it seperately.

Note: This code is actually going to be replaced in 2.0 by /F's new
database. Until then, this patch keeps the test suite working.
for systems that are missing those declarations from system include files.
Start by moving a pointy-haired ones from their previous locations to the
new section.
(The gethostname() one, for instance, breaks on several systems, because
some define it as (char *, size_t) and some as (char *, int).)
I purposely decided not to include the summary of used #defines like Tim did
in the first section of pyport.h. In my opinion, the number of #defines
likedly to be used by this section would make such an overview unwieldy. I
would suggest documenting the non-obvious ones, though.
+ added "regs" attribute
+ fixed "pos" and "endpos" attributes
+ reset "lastindex" and "lastgroup" in scanner methods
+ removed (?P#id) syntax; the "lastindex" and "lastgroup"
attributes are now always set
+ removed string module dependencies in sre_parse
+ better debugging support in sre_parse
+ various tweaks to build under 1.5.2
handlers "return void", according to ANSI C.
Removed the new Py_RETURN_FROM_SIGNAL_HANDLER macro.
Left RETSIGTYPE in the config stuff, because it's not clear to
me that others aren't relying on it (e.g., extension modules).
#if RETSIGTYPE != void
That isn't C, and MSVC properly refuses to compile it.
Introduced new Py_RETURN_FROM_SIGNAL_HANDLER macro in pyport.h
to expand to the correct thing based on RETSIGTYPE. However,
only void is ANSI! Do we still have platforms that return int?
The Unix config mess appears to #define RETSIGTYPE by magic
without being asked to, so I assume it's "a problem" across
Unices still.
to return something if RETSIGTYPE isn't void, in functions that are defined
to return RETSIGTYPE. Work around an argumentlist mismatch ('void' vs.
'void *') by using a static wrapper function.
and a couple of functions that were missed in the previous batches. Not
terribly tested, but very carefully scrutinized, three times.
All these were found by the little findkrc.py that I posted to python-dev,
which means there might be more lurking. Cases such as this:
long
func(a, b)
long a;
long b; /* flagword */
{
and other cases where the last ; in the argument list isn't followed by a
newline and an opening curly bracket. Regexps to catch all are welcome, of
course ;)
comments, docstrings or error messages. I fixed two minor things in
test_winreg.py ("didn't" -> "Didn't" and "Didnt" -> "Didn't").
There is a minor style issue involved: Guido seems to have preferred English
grammar (behaviour, honour) in a couple places. This patch changes that to
American, which is the more prominent style in the source. I prefer English
myself, so if English is preferred, I'd be happy to supply a patch myself ;)
