* object.[ch], bltinmodule.c, fileobject.c: changed str() to call
strobject() which calls an object's __str__ method if it has one.
strobject() is also called by writeobject() when PRINT_RAW is passed.
* ceval.c: rationalize code for PRINT_ITEM (no change in function!)
* funcobject.c, codeobject.c: added compare and hash functionality.
Functions with identical code objects and the same global dictionary are
equal. Code objects are equal when their code, constants list and names
list are identical (i.e. the filename and code name don't count).
(hash doesn't work yet since the constants are in a list and lists can't
be hashed -- suppose this should really be done with a tuple now we have
resizetuple!)
shared. The default is to save references to the integers in
the range -1..99. The lower limit can be set by defining
NSMALLNEGINTS (absolute value of smallest integer to be saved)
and NSMALLPOSINTS (1 more than the largest integer to be
saved).
tupleobject.c: Save a reference to the empty tuple to be returned
whenever a tuple of size 0 is requested. Tuples of size 1
upto, but not including, MAXSAVESIZE (default 20) are put in
free lists when deallocated. When MAXSAVESIZE equals 1, only
share references to the empty tuple, when MAXSAVESIZE equals
0, don't include the code at all and revert to the old
behavior.
object.c: Print some more statistics when COUNT_ALLOCS is defined.
image objects, and lots of new methods.
* Added counting of allocations and deallocations of builtin types if
COUNT_ALLOCS is defined. Had to move calls to NEWREF down in some
files.
* Bug fix in sorting lists.
objects of its derived classes; allow anything that has an attribute
named "__privileged__" access to anything.
* object.[ch]: added hasattr() -- test whether getattr() will succeed.
before it.
* ceval.c, object.c: moved testbool() to object.c (now extern visible)
* stringobject.c: fix bugs in and rationalize string resize in formatstring()
* tokenizer.[ch]: fix non-working code for lines longer than BUFSIZ
* Stubs for faster implementation of local variables (not yet finished)
* Added function name to code object. Print it for code and function
objects. THIS MAKES THE .PYC FILE FORMAT INCOMPATIBLE (the version
number has changed accordingly)
* Print address of self for built-in methods
* New internal functions getattro and setattro (getattr/setattr with
string object arg)
* Replaced "dictobject" with more powerful "mappingobject"
* New per-type functio tp_hash to implement arbitrary object hashing,
and hashobject() to interface to it
* Added built-in functions hash(v) and hasattr(v, 'name')
* classobject: made some functions static that accidentally weren't;
added __hash__ special instance method to implement hash()
* Added proper comparison for built-in methods and functions
* flmodule.c: added some missing functions; changed readonly flags of
some data members based upon FORMS documentation.
* listobject.c: fixed int/long arg lint bug (bites PC compilers).
* several: removed redundant print methods (repr is good enough).
* posixmodule.c: added (still experimental) process group functions.
calls the repr function. When the refcount is bad, don't print
the object at all (chances of crashes).
Changes to checking and printing of references: the consistency
check is somewhat faster; don't print strings referenced once
(most occur in function's name lists).
