- Renamed strndup to my_strndup to avoid conflict witth GNU libc.
+ Revision 2.8  1997/08/13 03:14:37  guido
+ cPickle release 0.3 from Jim Fulton
 
- Revision 2.6  1997/05/13 18:00:44  guido
- Use compile-time test for 64-bit hardware instead of run-time test.
- This silences some compilers.
+ Revision 1.41  1997/06/20 19:45:10  jim
+ Fixed dumb bug in __main__ fix. :-(
 
- Revision 2.5  1997/05/07 17:46:13  guido
- Instead of importing graminit.h whenever one of the three grammar 'root'
- symbols is needed, define these in Python.h with a Py_ prefix.
+ Revision 1.40  1997/06/19 18:57:36  jim
+ Added ident string.
 
- Revision 2.4  1997/04/09 17:47:47  guido
- Give PyErr_Format a new name and make it static.
+ Revision 1.39  1997/06/13 19:40:44  jim
+ - Various changes to make gcc -Wall -pedantic happy, including
+   extra parens elimination of unused vars.
 
- Revision 2.3  1997/04/09 17:36:32  guido
- Jim Fulton's version 2.2.
+ - Added check to avoid pickling module __main__ for classes that are
+   defined in other modules, in whichmodule
+
+ - Changed to use Py_eval_input rather than eval_input.
+
+ - Changed to use SIZEOF_LONG macro to avoid warnings on 32-bit machines.
+
+ - Added option of supplying None to pickler, which cases no data to be
+   written during pickling.  This is slightly useful, in conjunction
+   with persistent_id attribute to find persistent sub-objects without
+   writing a pickle.
+
+ Revision 1.38  1997/05/07 17:06:43  jim
+ Added clear_memo method to pickler.
+
+ Revision 1.37  1997/05/06 20:21:01  jim
+ Changed to only add strings to memo that have length greater than one.

+  Revision 2.6  1997/08/13 03:14:41  guido
+  cPickle release 0.3 from Jim Fulton
+
+  Revision 1.21  1997/06/19 18:51:42  jim
+  Added ident string.
+
+  Revision 1.20  1997/06/13 20:50:50  jim
+  - Various changes to make gcc -Wall -pedantic happy, including
+    getting rid of staticforward declarations and adding pretend use
+    of two statics defined in .h file.
+
+  Revision 1.19  1997/06/02 18:15:17  jim
+  Merged in guido's changes.
+
+  Revision 1.18  1997/05/07 16:26:47  jim
+  getvalue() can nor be given an argument.  If this argument is true,
+  then getvalue returns the text upto the current position.  Otherwise
+  it returns all of the text.  The default value of the argument is
+  false.
+
+  Revision 1.17  1997/04/17 18:02:46  chris
+  getvalue() now returns entire string, not just the string up to
+  current position
+
+  Revision 2.5  1997/04/11 19:56:06  guido
+  My own patch: support writable 'softspace' attribute.
+
+  > Jim asked: What is softspace for?
+  
+  It's an old feature.  The print statement uses this to remember
+  whether it should insert a space before the next item or not.
+  Implementation is in fileobject.c.
+
+  Revision 1.11  1997/01/23 20:45:01  jim
+  ANSIfied it.
+  Changed way C API was exported.
+
+  Revision 1.10  1997/01/02 15:19:55  chris
+  checked in to be sure repository is up to date.
+
+  Revision 1.9  1996/12/27 21:40:29  jim
+  Took out some lamosities in interface, like returning self from
+  write.
+
+  Revision 1.8  1996/12/23 15:52:49  jim
+  Added ifdef to check for CObject before using it.
+
+  Revision 1.7  1996/12/23 15:22:35  jim
+  Finished implementation, adding full compatibility with StringIO, and
+  then some.
