but that may actually a good idea: if there's no room for a lousy

24 years agoTentative fix for a problem that Tim discovered at the last moment,
Guido van Rossum [Sun, 15 Apr 2001 22:16:26 +0000 (22:16 +0000)]
Tentative fix for a problem that Tim discovered at the last moment,
and reported to python-dev: because we were calling dict_resize() in
PyDict_Next(), and because GC's dict_traverse() uses PyDict_Next(),
and because PyTuple_New() can cause GC, and because dict_items() calls
PyTuple_New(), it was possible for dict_items() to have the dict
resized right under its nose.

The solution is convoluted, and touches several places: keys(),
values(), items(), popitem(), PyDict_Next(), and PyDict_SetItem().

There are two parts to it. First, we no longer call dict_resize() in
PyDict_Next(), which seems to solve the immediate problem.  But then
PyDict_SetItem() must have a different policy about when *it* calls
dict_resize(), because we want to guarantee (e.g. for an algorithm
that Jeremy uses in the compiler) that you can loop over a dict using
PyDict_Next() and make changes to the dict as long as those changes
are only value replacements for existing keys using PyDict_SetItem().
This is done by resizing *after* the insertion instead of before, and
by remembering the size before we insert the item, and if the size is
still the same, we don't bother to even check if we might need to
resize.  An additional detail is that if the dict starts out empty, we
must still resize it before the insertion.

That was the first part. :-)

The second part is to make keys(), values(), items(), and popitem()
safe against side effects on the dict caused by allocations, under the
assumption that if the GC can cause arbitrary Python code to run, it
can cause other threads to run, and it's not inconceivable that our
dict could be resized -- it would be insane to write code that relies
on this, but not all code is sane.

Now, I have this nagging feeling that the loops in lookdict probably
are blissfully assuming that doing a simple key comparison does not
change the dict's size.  This is not necessarily true (the keys could
be class instances after all).  But that's a battle for another day.
