# HG changeset patch # User Gregory Szorc # Date 2015-11-25 06:50:04 # Node ID a40c84defd76412445ecb4c29e729bd510584bb9 # Parent 511a4384b0332d3bea9e32ff32afa93d1b01ddd3 mercurial: be more strict about loading dual implemented modules With this change in place, we should have slightly stronger guarantees about how modules with both Python and C implementations are loaded. Before, our module loader's default policy looked under both mercurial/* and mercurial/pure/* and imported whatever it found, C or pure. The fact it looked in both locations by default was a temporary regression from the beginning of this series. This patch does 2 things: 1) Changes the default module load policy to only load C modules 2) Verifies that files loaded from mercurial/* are actually C modules This 2nd behavior change makes our new module loading mechanism stricter than from before this series. Before, it was possible to load a .py-based module from mercurial/*. This could happen if an old installation orphaned a file and then somehow didn't install the C version for the new install. We now detect this odd configuration and fall back to loading the pure Python module, assuming it is allowed. In the case of a busted installation, we fail fast. While we could fall back, we explicitly decide not to do this because we don't want people accidentally not running the C modules and having slow performance as a result. diff --git a/mercurial/__init__.py b/mercurial/__init__.py --- a/mercurial/__init__.py +++ b/mercurial/__init__.py @@ -22,8 +22,7 @@ modulepolicy = '@MODULELOADPOLICY@' # By default, require the C extensions for performance reasons. if modulepolicy == '@' 'MODULELOADPOLICY' '@': - # TODO change to 'c' once installer is changed. - modulepolicy = 'allow' + modulepolicy = 'c' # Environment variable can always force settings. modulepolicy = os.environ.get('HGMODULEPOLICY', modulepolicy) @@ -79,11 +78,9 @@ class hgimporter(object): # mercurial/* are C extensions.
