This follows the recommendation from Pythons documentation for
PyModule_GetDict where it says:
It is recommended extensions use other PyModule_* and PyObject_*
functions rather than directly manipulate a module’s __dict__.
This value determines the size of the per-module memory area. Setting
this value to -1 as it was before this change means that the module has
global state and therefore does not support subinterpreters.
However, subinterpreters are used to run the Python scripts, so the
weechat module has to support subinterpreters. Therefore we should set
this value to 0 as no per-module memory is required.
This seems to fix the crash reported in #2046 without the need for the
workaround added in commit 85c7494dc (it does for me when testing with
Python 3.12.0 at least).
This change came up as a suggestion in cpython's issue tracker where it
was pointed out that using modules with m_size set to -1 is not
supported in subinterpreters. See these two comments:
https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/116510#issuecomment-2377915771https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/116510#issuecomment-2389485369
It's not completely clear to me what is required for a module to support
subinterpreters and re-initialization (which is required for setting
m_size to 0), but https://peps.pythondiscord.com/pep-0489/ says:
A simple rule of thumb is: Do not define any static data, except
built-in types with no mutable or user-settable class attributes.
The only static data we define is of type int and str, so I think it
should be fine.
This fixes the following CMake warning:
CMake Warning (dev) at src/gui/curses/normal/CMakeLists.txt:73 (add_custom_command):
Exactly one of PRE_BUILD, PRE_LINK, or POST_BUILD must be given. Assuming
POST_BUILD to preserve backward compatibility.
Policy CMP0175 is not set: add_custom_command() rejects invalid arguments.
Run "cmake --help-policy CMP0175" for policy details. Use the cmake_policy
command to set the policy and suppress this warning.
This warning is for project developers. Use -Wno-dev to suppress it.
This fixes a crash which would happen if you scrolled the script buffer
and then did a search which got fewer search results than the index of
the selected line before the search. E.g. press page down to go to the
second page and then search for `test`.
It turns out that Debian has reverted the commit in Perl that broke the
locale in their 5.38 branch, so it did not have the issue. However, the
workaround we added to fix the locale apparently makes the version
Debian/Ubuntu has crash on perl_destruct. I'm not sure why it makes it
crash, but since it doesn't crash on newer Perl versions, I'm assuming
that it's another bug with the locale handling in that Perl version.
To avoid the crash, make sure to only set the locale if we detect that
it has been broken by Perl. We do this by checking if the value returned
by wcwidth (160) (the first non-ascii printable character) has changed.
If this value is not the same after the call to perl_construct, the
locale has been broken.
I moved the call to Perl_setlocale to right after perl_construct, as the
call to perl_construct is what breaks the locale.
