revset: added _orderedsetmixin class
This class has utility methods for any ordered class to get the min and the
max values.
revset: added min and max methods to baseset and lazyset
This classes have no particular order so they rely on python min() and max()
implementation. This methods will be implemented in every smartset class in
future patches. For other classes there are lazy implementations that can be
made for this methods.
contrib: make revset benchmark script able to read from stdin
This help fine control of what we want to benchmark
contrib: have the revset benchmark test script take a revset
The script now selection revision to run benchmark against using a revset query
instead of a revision range.
It is expected that people benchmarking revset have some knowledge of revset.
contrib: added revset performance benchmarking script
This script takes two arguments (starting revision, ending revision) and tests
for each revision in between the entire list of revsets in the script using
perfrevset.
contrib: added revset examples for benchmarking performance
Added list of revsets used for benchmarking revset performance so far.
help: filter out deprecated options with untranslated descriptions
When using a different language than English, deprecated options were only
removed from the output of `hg help anycmd` when "DEPRECATED" in the options
description was translated.
parsers: fail fast if Python has wrong minor version (
issue4110)
This change causes an informative ImportError to be raised when importing
the parsers extension module if the minor version of the currently-running
Python interpreter doesn't match that of the Python used when compiling
the extension module.
This change also exposes a parsers.versionerrortext constant in the
C implementation of the module. Its presence can be used to determine
whether this behavior is present in a version of the module. The value
of the constant is the leading text of the ImportError raised and is set
to "Python minor version mismatch".
Here is an example of what the new error looks like:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "test.py", line 1, in <module>
import mercurial.parsers
ImportError: Python minor version mismatch: The Mercurial extension
modules were compiled with Python 2.7.6, but Mercurial is currently using
Python with sys.hexversion=
33883888: Python 2.5.6
(r256:88840, Nov 18 2012, 05:37:10)
[GCC 4.2.1 Compatible Apple Clang 4.1 ((tags/Apple/clang-421.11.66))]
at: /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/Resources/
Python.app/Contents/MacOS/Python
The reason for raising an error in this scenario is that Python's C API
is known not to be compatible from minor version to minor version, even
if sys.api_version is the same. See for example this Python bug report
about incompatibilities between 2.5 and 2.6+:
http://bugs.python.org/
issue8118
These incompatibilities can cause Mercurial to break in mysterious,
unforeseen ways. For example, when Mercurial compiled with Python 2.7 was
run with 2.5, the following crash occurred when running "hg status":
http://bz.selenic.com/show_bug.cgi?id=4110
After this crash was fixed, running with Python 2.5 no longer crashes, but
the following puzzling behavior still occurs:
$ hg status
...
File ".../mercurial/changelog.py", line 123, in __init__
revlog.revlog.__init__(self, opener, "00changelog.i")
File ".../mercurial/revlog.py", line 251, in __init__
d = self._io.parseindex(i, self._inline)
File ".../mercurial/revlog.py", line 158, in parseindex
index, cache = parsers.parse_index2(data, inline)
TypeError: data is not a string
which can be reproduced more simply with:
import mercurial.parsers as parsers
parsers.parse_index2("", True)
Both the crash and the TypeError occurred because the Python C API's
PyString_Check() returns the wrong value when the C header files from
Python 2.7 are run with Python 2.5. This is an example of an
incompatibility of the sort mentioned in the Python bug report above.
Failing fast with an informative error message results in a better user
experience in cases like the above. The information in the ImportError
also simplifies troubleshooting for those on Mercurial mailing lists, the
bug tracker, etc.
This patch only adds the version check to parsers.c, which is sufficient
to affect command-line commands like "hg status" and "hg summary".
An idea for a future improvement is to move the version-checking C code
to a more central location, and have it run when importing all
Mercurial extension modules and not just parsers.c.
debuginstall: add Python information to debuginstall output (
issue4128)
This change adds to the output of "hg debuginstall" information about the
Python being used by Mercurial. It adds both the path to the Python
executable (i.e. the value of sys.executable) and the version of Python
(specifically the major, minor, and micro versions).
Below is an example of what the output looks like after this change.
The marked lines are the new output lines:
$ hg debuginstall
checking encoding (UTF-8)...
-->showing Python executable (/Users/chris/.virtualenvs/default/bin/python)
-->showing Python version (2.7.6)
checking Python lib (/Users/chris/.virtualenvs/default/lib/python2.7)...
checking installed modules (/Users/chris/mercurial)...
checking templates (/Users/chris/mercurial/templates)...
checking commit editor...
checking username...
no problems detected
Note that we use the word "showing" without an ellipsis for the new lines
because, unlike the other lines (except for "Python lib" which will be
adjusted in a subsequent commit), no check follows the display of this
information.
