cext: split character encoding functions to new compilation unit
This extracts charencode.c from parsers.c, which seems big enough for me
to hesitate to add new JSON functions. Still charencode.o is linked to
parsers.so to avoid duplication of binary codes.
cext: move _dict_new_presized() to header
Prepares for splitting encoding functions from parsers.c.
ui: restore behavior to ignore some I/O errors (
issue5658)
e9646ff34d55 and
1bfb9a63b98e refactored ui methods to no longer
silently swallow some IOError instances. This is arguably the
correct thing to do. However, it had the unfortunate side-effect
of causing StdioError to bubble up to sensitive code like
transaction aborts, leading to an uncaught exceptions and failures
to e.g. roll back a transaction. This could occur when a remote
HTTP or SSH client connection dropped. The new behavior is
resulting in semi-frequent "abandonded transaction" errors on
multiple high-volume repositories at Mozilla.
This commit effectively reverts
e9646ff34d55 and
1bfb9a63b98e to
restore the old behavior.
I agree with the principle that I/O errors shouldn't be ignored.
That makes this change... unfortunate. However, our hands are tied
for what to do on stable. I think the proper solution is for the
ui's behavior to be configurable (possibly via a context manager).
During critical sections like transaction rollback and abort, it
should be possible to suppress errors. But this feature would not
be appropriate on stable.
tests: test behavior of IOError during transactions (
issue5658)
ui._write(), ui._write_err(), and ui.flush() all trap IOError and
re-raise as error.StdioError. If a caller doesn't catch StdioError
when writing to stdio, it could bubble all the way to dispatch.
This commit adds tests for I/O failures around various transaction
operations.
The most notable badness is during abort. Here, an uncaught StdioError
will result in incomplete transaction rollback, requiring an
`hg rollback` to recover. This can result in a client "corrupting"
a remote repo via terminated HTTP and SSH socket.
hg: avoid relying on errno numbers / descriptions
A few tests hardcode errno numbers and/or descriptions in the output, causing
test failures on platforms where these values are different.

hg: tolerate long vs. int in test-context.py
The file times here can be longs instead of ints on some platforms, which will
cause a test failure due to these printing with an L suffix; instead always
format with %d which will produce the same output in either case.
