| ====================================================================== |
| Known BUGS in 1.1.1 and 1.2 |
| --------------------------- |
| |
| (-) arraymodule doesn't compile under Ultrix (FPROTO macro) |
| |
| (-) Linux uses GNU getopt by default which is broken |
| |
| (-) makesetup assumes CCC is the C++ compiler -- not portable |
| |
| (-) "make depend" assumes mkdep exists -- not portable |
| |
| (-) threadmodule.c leaks LOTS of memory at thread exit |
| |
| (-) tkinter seems to leave an exception around sometime which breaks |
| unmarshalling code objects |
| |
| (-) memory leak (namebuf) in initmodule2 |
| |
| (-) regen calls h2py which isn't defined by default |
| |
| (-) shared install in Modules still doesn't work for empty list |
| |
| (-) make libinstall (or similar) references to machdep directory but |
| doesn't create it |
| |
| (-) destroying all modules may destroy __builtin__ while destructors |
| of other modules may still need it |
| |
| (-) hash() of float values returns suspect values |
| |
| (-) sockets aren't thread safe (address of static struct returned, |
| some calls aren't thread safe) |
| |
| (-) Everything else that uses err_get() should probably use err_get_tb() |
| |
| (-) struct module aligns doubles wrongly when compiled with -DDEBUG on sparc |
| |
| (-) pow(int, int, long) (etc.) dumps core on Linux (and other Intel machines?) |
| |
| (-) C-level coerce() doesn't call __coerce__ when it should (and |
| similar for __cmp__) |
| |
| (-) DECREF can cause the interpreter to be called recursively (for |
| __del__ disciplines) -- so list and dict implementation calls doing |
| DECREF can cause recursive calls to methods of the object being |
| modified. Other files too. (Only partially fixed.) |
| |
| (-) HP doesn't compile out of the box (needs LIBS=-ldld or |
| LIBS=/usr/lib/libdld.sl) |
| |
| (-) something fishy with softspace and print_error (flushline clears |
| the error) |
| |
| (-) tkinter doesn't seem to see any declaration of malloc on sunos 4.1.3 |
| |
| ====================================================================== |
| BUGS present in 1.1.1 and fixed in 1.2 |
| -------------------------------------- |
| |
| (*) threadmodule.c leaks 'res' in t_bootstrap |
| |
| (*) errors.c shouldn't declare strerror() on NT |
| |
| (*) DECREF can cause the interpreter to be called recursively (for |
| __del__ disciplines) -- so list and dict implementation calls doing |
| DECREF can cause recursive calls to methods of the object being |
| modified. Other files too. (Only partially fixed.) |
| |
| (*) tkinter dereferences NULL if timer callback raises an exception |
| |
| (*) must link with -lieee for linux |
| |
| (*) if a timer handler routine raises an exception, the interpreter |
| dereferences NULL |
| |
| (*) __getattr__ doesn't clear error |
| |
| (*) '%s' % a, where a is a class instance, fails |
| |
| (*) "make test" won't find freshly built dynamically loaded modules -- |
| should add ./Modules to TESTPATH |
| |
| (*) lshift calls __rshift__ instead of __rlshift__ |
| |
| (*) memory leak in creation of sys.builtin_module_names |
| |
| (*) Bugs in instance_dealloc(): (a) memory leak for exception |
| type+value; (2) should save+restore traceback as well |
| |
| (*) modsupport.c(vmkvalue): on systems where va_list is an array, the |
| calls to do_mkvalue and do_mktuple don't want an "&" before va. |
| |
| ====================================================================== |
| BUGS found in 1.1 and fixed in 1.1.1 |
| ------------------------------------ |
| |
| (*) printing name of lambda in traceback dereferences NULL |
| |
| (*) A built-in function using getargs() and expecting >= 1 argument |
| may dump core when called without arguments |
| |
| (*) newgetargs() dumps core in compat mode when NULL is passed in but |
| max is >0 |
| |
| (*) pow() should be declared varargs since it uses newgetargs |
| |
| (*) newmodule.c doesn't compile on SunOS 4.1.3 due to non-K&R backslashes |
| |
| (*) some typos in tut.tex |
| |
| (*) test for broken static forward is not strong enough |
| |
| (*) Doc/Makefile assumes . is in $PATH in call to whichlibs |
| |
| (*) math module misses hypot() function |
| |
| (*) structmember.h should include stddef.h (for offsetof macro) |
| |
| (*) gdbmmodule.c frees the wrong structures |
| |
| (*) makesetup script misses some dollars and backslashes |
| |
| (*) getargs.obj missing from NT makefile |
| |
| (*) sorting class instances broken if no __cmp__ defined |
| |
| ====================================================================== |
| BUGS found in 1.0.3 and fixed in 1.1 |
| ------------------------------------ |
| |
| (*) 2 specific leaks: 1 PYTHONPATH; 2 reading code from .pyc |
| |
| (*) If class C doesn't define __cmp__, cmp(a,b) will return -2 and |
| [a,b].sort() will fail |
| |
| (*) Syntax errors are reported in a silly way if multi-line tokens are |
| involved. |
| |
| (*) SyntaxError exception for compile('...') are reported wrongly |
| (lineno is always zero and offset is offset into the whole string). |
| |
| (*) freeze script needs major rewrite to cope with multiple extensions |
| (Jack seems to have fixed it now -- where is it?) |
| |
| (*) unwanted entries in stack trace if err_clear() clears an error |
| that also set a stack trace |
| |
| (*) i, x[i] = a, b assigns b to x[a] rather than to x[i] as expected |
| (documented with a warning in ref6.tex!) |
| |
| (*) etags no longer supports -t flag |
| |
| (*) compile.c:com_argdefs() references unalloc'ed memory for def |
| f(a=1,): ... |
| |
| (*) If you have a python binary in your path like |
| /ufs/guido/bin/sgi/python then the default prefix option computed by |
| the configure script is bogus! |
| |
| (*) Make rule for making lib*.a should remove the lib*.a file first. |
| |
| (*) vars() error message is wrong (copied from dir() obviously). |
| |
| (*) socket.gethostname() is undocumented. |
| |
| (*) rfc822.py: getfirst* dies when multiple headers occur |
| |
| (*) urllib caching is wrong (should use date from Expires header) |
| |
| (*) On a related matter: regexpr.c still has two malloc()s the results |
| of which are not tested for being NULL (lines 1253 and 1530). There |
| are also some in rgbimagemodule.c. Am I overlooking something or is |
| this a crasher? |
| |
| (*) strop.rindex('abc', '') returns 0 instead of 3 |
| |
| (*) sunaudiodevmodule.o is too long! |
| |
| (*) toplevel README needs new text on PC and Mac builds |
| |
| (*) long(0x80000000) has wrong value! |
| |

| machines (don't know what to do about it) |
| |
| (?) syntax error for interactive input prints garbage instead of last |
| source line on some systems (e.g. AIX) (impossible to test/reproduce) |
| !!! I think I've found this one -- a missing INCREF in print_error! |
| |
| (?) (maybe) a bad .pyc file (with old magic number) causes the .py |
| file to be ignored |
| |

| |
| (*) nasty bug in string formatting (see test_types.py, search for %) |
| |
| (*) if a triple-quoted string ends in a quote followed by a newline |
| (followed immediately by the terminating 3 quotes) then a syntax error |
| or system error ensues |
| |
| (*) bug in socket.listen: clipping backlog to >= 1 doesn't work |
| |
| (*) two bogus XDEL's in Modules/regexmodule.reg_dealloc() |
| |
| (*) Parser/myreadline.my_fgets: #endif EINTR misplaced |

| ------------------------------------- |
| |
| (?) threads are slow on Solaris 2 |
| (so what?) |
| |
| (*) threads cause myreadline.c's readline() to think it sees an EOF. |
| (I *think* I've fixed this, by testing for EINTR) |
| |
| (?) min() on PC version generates wrong result (i.e. same as max()) |
| [this happens on SoftPC -- don't know about other systems] |
| (can't find the reason -- may be SoftPC bug) |

| all forms returns only the cached form |
