Remove Py_TPFLAGS_HAVE_VERSION_TAG from Py_TPFLAGS_DEFAULT when not building
|
|
the core. This means 3rd party extensions do not automatically benefit from
|
|
the class attribute cache; they will have to explicitly add
|
|
Py_TPFLAGS_HAVE_VERSION_TAG to their tp_flags field if they care. This is a
|
|
backwards compatibility feature; in 3.0, all types will use the cache by
|
|
default.

|
|
example), unichr() would truncate its argument and return u'\x00' for
|
|
unichr(2**32). Now it properly raises an OverflowError.

Overflow checking when allocating or reallocating memory was not always

being done properly in some python types and extension modules.
|
|
PyMem_MALLOC, PyMem_REALLOC, PyMem_NEW and PyMem_RESIZE have all been

|
updated to perform better checks and places in the code that would
|
|
previously leak memory on the error path when such an allocation failed have

been fixed.
