- Sorry, this list does not claim completeness. If I fixed a bug
- immediately upon receiving the first complaint I usually did not
- nother to make an entry in this file, unless it was a serious bug
- (core dump or infinite loop).
-
- ==> Status indicators: (-) not fixed; (*) fixed; (?) don't know what to do.
-
- ======================================================================
- BUGS found in 1.0.3 and not yet fixed
- -------------------------------------
-
- (-) print_error raises and then masks an error if softspace is not
- defined (can't reproduce this one?)
-
- (*) 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?)
-
- (*) various memory leaks (see purify report from anthony.baxter@aaii.oz.au)
- (several leaks fixed anyway :-)
-
- BUGS found in 1.0.3 and fixed in 1.1
- ------------------------------------
-
- (*) 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!
-
- ======================================================================
- Bugs found in 1.0.2 and not yet fixed
- -------------------------------------
-
- (?) compiler warnings about argument type of uname() on ULTRIX
- 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
-
- (?) Sunos4.0.2 / 386 configure bugs:
- - timelocal instead of mktime
- - unistd.h doesn't declare some functions
- (don't know what to do about this)
-
- Bugs found in 1.0.2 and fixed in 1.0.3
- --------------------------------------
-
- (*) 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
-
- (*) new IP address for ftp.cwi.nl !!!
-
- (*) typing vars() to interactive prompt runs into infinite loop
- because of '_'
-
- (*) tokenizer/tok_nextc() runs into infinite loop when file does not
- end in linefeed
-
- (*) Sunos4.0.2 / 386 configure bugs:
- (*) - use size_t at some places without including sys/types.h
- (*) - missing clock_t
- (*) - uses SEEK_SET in some places that don't include unistd.h
-
- ======================================================================
- Bugs found in 1.0.1 and not yet fixed
- -------------------------------------
-
- (?) 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.
- (don't know what to do about this)
-
- (?) 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)
-
- (*) flp.py cache bug: if the cache only contains one form, asking for
- all forms returns only the cached form
-
- Bugs found in 1.0.1 and fixed in 1.0.2
- --------------------------------------
-
- (*) core dump when parser.parsefile() called
-
- (*) man page contains a mess before -d option
-
- (*) threads don't work on IRIX 4
-
- (*) wrong cast of svideo_getattr in svmodule.c
-
- (*) bad return value in runpython.c's run_tty_1()
-

-

-
- (*) The FAQ still describes how to work around a problem in 0.9.9 exec()
-
- (*) Lib/aifc.py, returns float rate, should be int
-
- (*) Lib/sunau.py, incorrectly cumputes byte count from frame rate
-
- (*) README should mention possibility of passing OPT=-g to make
-
