The decision isn't up to me, but I think this is a good idea. Here's a
patch that would update the documentation and hooks.py, as well as hooks.c.
FYI, if this patch is applied then anyone who's still trying to use a
goto_url_hook that expects a second argument will get a "Browser scripting
error" dialog box that says:
An error occurred while running a Python script:
TypeError: goto_url_hook() takes exactly 2 arguments (1 given)
As commit 7db8abf6e7 does for Lua
and the document info box, change the Python scripting backend's
current_document and current_header APIs to use document->cached
instead of find_in_cached so the currently displayed document
will be used rather than the latest version of the document.
cleanup_python and python_done_keybinding_interface called by it
now reset the PyObject *python_hooks, *keybindings variables back
to NULL when they release the references. Without this change,
dangling pointers left in those variables could cause problems
if the Python scripting module were deinitialized and reinitialized.
It looks like such reinitialization is not currently possible though,
because enhancement request 73 (plugins support) has not yet been
implemented.
Now the currently displayed version of the current document,
rather than the latest version of the current document, will be used
for the document info box and the current_document() Lua function.
The configure script checks whether it is possible to compile a use of
POPpx without an n_a variable; if not, the source code then defines
those variables. This is slower than including Perl's patchlevel.h
and comparing the version numbers to 5.8.8 but I expect this to be
more reliable as well.
Before this patch, init_python would crash trying to set up elinks.home
at the Python side. Now it uses None as the value in that case.
Also, init_python no longer adds "(null)" to $PYTHONPATH.
This change does not fix any bug, but the SMJS builtin classes use
negative tinyids already, so I presume this is the preferred practice.
At least it means the tinyids won't have to be renumbered later if
some of these objects are changed to behave as arrays.
This reverts baf7b0e91d:
Fix segfaults caused by ruby scripting (gentoo bug #121247).
which reverted 5145ae266a:
Change the Python, Ruby, and SEE hooks for pre-format-html to work
properly now that they are given a non-NUL-terminated string.
and also makes the Ruby hooks interface generally use rb_str_new(str, len)
in favor of rb_str_new2(str) to avoid relying on NUL-terminated being
handled correctly by Ruby. Also, it was wrong for the preformat hook which
is not always handed a NUL-terminated string. Finally, the gentoo bug
(http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=121247) is currently reopened which
suggests that the previous fix was not correct.
If ECMAScript code does obj[42], then the getProperty or setProperty
function of the JSClass of obj gets 42 as the property ID and must not
treat that as an internal error.
The getProperty and setProperty functions of a JSClass must not assume
that the obj parameter points to an instance of that class. It might
instead point to another object that merely has an instance of the
class in its prototype chain. Thus, do not assert that JS_InstanceOf
returns true there. Instead, run the check even with CONFIG_FASTMEM,
and just return JS_FALSE if it fails.
Before, when one assigned a value other than a function to
elinks.preformat_html, elinks.goto_url_hook, or elinks.follow_url_hook,
an assertion failure was triggered (and probably worse happened in
non-DEBUG builds). Now just fail silently.
It is similar to lua's execute and let's you run a command line in
'non-blocking' mode. Example:
elinks.keymaps.main["F"] = function () {
elinks.execute("firefox " + elinks.location);
};
Items can be accessed via elinks.globhist["http://www.foo.net/"]. The
resulting object has title, url, and last_visit properties. last_visit
is the seconds since the epoch. See comments in the code for why I don't
provide a nicer interface for last_visit.
