The "need" for this was probably removed by an earlier patch that stopped
the loop right before it from passing NULL to a dict lookup routine.
I still haven't convinced myself that the next loop is correct, so am
leaving the next mysterious PyErr_Clear() call in for now.
+ Generally test nkeywords against 0 instead of keywords against NULL
(saves a little work if an empty keywords dict is passed, and is
conceptually more on-target regardless).
+ When a call erroneously specifies a keyword argument both by position
and by keyword name:
- It was easy to provoke this routine into an internal buffer overrun
by using a long argument name. Now uses PyErr_format instead (which
computes a safe buffer size).
- Improved the error msg.
+ Got rid of now-redundant dict typecheck.
+ Renamed nkwds to nkwlist. Now all the "counting" vrbls have names
related to the things they're counting in an obvious way.
+ Renamed argslen to nargs.
+ Renamed kwlen to nkeywords. This one was especially confusing because
kwlen wasn't the length of the kwlist argument, but of the keywords
argument.
+ Removed now-redundant tuple typecheck.
+ Renamed "tplen" local to "argslen" (it's the length of the "args"
argument; I suppose "tp" was for "Tim Peters should rename me
someday <wink>).
introduced this bug just a little while ago, when *adding* internal error
checks).
vgetargskeywords: Rewrote the section that crawls over the format string.
+ Added block comment so it won't take the next person 15 minutes to
reverse-engineer what it's doing.
+ Lined up the "else" clauses.
+ Rearranged the ifs in decreasing order of likelihood (for speed).
and raise an error if they're insane.
vgetargskeywords: the same, except that since this is an internal routine,
just assert that the arguments are sane.
the kwlist vector whenever there was a mix of positional and keyword
arguments, and the number of positional arguments exceeded the length
of the kwlist vector. If there was just one more positional arg than
keyword, the kwlist-terminating NULL got passed to PyMapping_HasKeyString,
which set an internal error that vgetargskeywords() then squashed (but
it's impossible to say whether it knew it was masking an error). If
more than one more positional argument, it went on to pass random trash
to PyMapping_HasKeyString, which is why the example at the start
happened to kill the process.
Pure bugfix candidate.

The conversimple() code that handles Unicode arguments and converts
them to the default encoding now calls converterr() with the original
Unicode argument instead of the NULL returned by the failed encoding
attempt.
- Do not compile unicodeobject, unicodectype, and unicodedata if Unicode is disabled
- check for Py_USING_UNICODE in all places that use Unicode functions
- disables unicode literals, and the builtin functions
- add the types.StringTypes list
- remove Unicode literals from most tests.
And remove all the extern decls in the middle of .c files.
Apparently, it was excluded from the header file because it is
intended for internal use by the interpreter. It's still intended for
internal use and documented as such in the header file.
In the default branch, keep three ifs that are used if level == 0, the
most common case. Note that first if here is a slight optimization
for the 'O' format.
Second part of SF patch 426072.
Note that lots of code was re-indented.
Replace two-step of convertsimple() and convertsimple1() with
convertsimple() and helper converterr(), which is called to format
error messages when convertsimple() fails. The old code did all the
real work in convertsimple1(), but deferred error message formatting
to conversimple(). The result was paying the price of a second
function call on every call just to format error messages in the
failure cases.
Factor out of the buffer-handling code in convertsimple() and package
it as convertbuffer().
Add two macros to ease readability of Unicode coversions,
UNICODE_DEFAULT_ENCODING() and CONV_UNICODE, an error string.
The convertsimple() routine had awful indentation problems, primarily
because there were two tabs between the case line and the body of the
case statements. This patch reformats the entire function to have a
single tab between case line and case body, which makes the code
easier to read (and consistent with ceval). The introduction of
converterr() exacerbated the problem and prompted this fix.
Also, eliminate non-standard whitespace after opening paren and before
closing paren in a few if statements.
(This checkin is part of SF patch 426072.)
_testcapimodule.c

getargs.c
assert args isn't NULL at the top of vgetargs1 instead of
waiting for a NULL-pointer dereference at the end
message, and tries to make the messages more consistent and helpful when
the wrong number of arguments or duplicate keyword arguments are supplied.
Comes with more tests for test_extcall.py and and an update to an error
message in test/output/test_pyexpat.
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.
"s#" will now return a pointer to the default encoded string data
of the Unicode object instead of a pointer to the raw UTF-16
data.
The latter is still available via PyObject_AsReadBuffer().
The patch also adds an optimization for string objects which is
based on the fact that string objects return the raw character data
for getreadbuffer access and are always single-segment.
-32768..65535 is acceptable. Added B specifier (with values from
-128..255). No L added (which would have completed the set) because l
already accepts any value (and the letter L is taken for quadwords).
the Python Unicode implementation.
The internal buffer used for implementing the buffer protocol
is renamed to defenc to make this change visible. It now holds the
default encoded version of the Unicode object and is calculated
on demand (NULL otherwise).
Since the default encoding defaults to ASCII, this will mean that
Unicode objects which hold non-ASCII characters will no longer
work on C APIs using the "s" or "t" parser markers. C APIs must now
explicitly provide Unicode support via the "u", "U" or "es"/"es#"
parser markers in order to work with non-ASCII Unicode strings.
(Note: this patch will also have to be applied to the 1.6 branch
of the CVS tree.)
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 ;)
This patch fixes a problem on AIX with the signed int case code in
getargs.c, after Trent Mick's intervention about MIN/MAX overflow
checks. The AIX compiler/optimizer generates bogus code with the
default flags "-g -O" causing test_builtin to fail: int("10", 16) <>
16L. Swapping the two checks in the signed int code makes the problem
go away.
Also, make the error messages fit in 80 char lines in the
source.
