From: Guido van Rossum Date: Fri, 24 Aug 2001 18:48:27 +0000 (+0000) Subject: Improve the error message issued when an unbound method is called with X-Git-Tag: v2.2a3~332 X-Git-Url: https://granicus.if.org/sourcecode?a=commitdiff_plain;h=a15dece51975ddc94b488a64c1326d3e39566c59;p=python Improve the error message issued when an unbound method is called with an inappropriate first argument. Now that there are more ways for this to fail, make sure to report the name of the class of the expected instance and of the actual instance. --- diff --git a/Objects/classobject.c b/Objects/classobject.c index f1145a4ef5..f3f7e692d9 100644 --- a/Objects/classobject.c +++ b/Objects/classobject.c @@ -2127,6 +2127,48 @@ instancemethod_traverse(PyMethodObject *im, visitproc visit, void *arg) return 0; } +static char * +getclassname(PyObject *class) +{ + PyObject *name; + + if (class == NULL) + name = NULL; + else + name = PyObject_GetAttrString(class, "__name__"); + if (name == NULL) { + PyErr_Clear(); + return "?"; + } + if (!PyString_Check(name)) { + Py_DECREF(name); + return "?"; + } + PyString_InternInPlace(&name); + Py_DECREF(name); + return PyString_AS_STRING(name); +} + +static char * +getinstclassname(PyObject *inst) +{ + PyObject *class; + char *name; + + if (inst == NULL) + return "nothing"; + + class = PyObject_GetAttrString(inst, "__class__"); + if (class == NULL) { + PyErr_Clear(); + class = (PyObject *)(inst->ob_type); + Py_INCREF(class); + } + name = getclassname(class); + Py_XDECREF(class); + return name; +} + static PyObject * instancemethod_call(PyObject *func, PyObject *arg, PyObject *kw) { @@ -2150,10 +2192,14 @@ instancemethod_call(PyObject *func, PyObject *arg, PyObject *kw) } if (!ok) { PyErr_Format(PyExc_TypeError, - "unbound method %s%s must be " - "called with instance as first argument", + "unbound method %s%s must be called with " + "%s instance as first argument " + "(got %s%s instead)", PyEval_GetFuncName(func), - PyEval_GetFuncDesc(func)); + PyEval_GetFuncDesc(func), + getclassname(class), + getinstclassname(self), + self == NULL ?
