Misc improvements to integer.pyx

[spancratz]

Generic code clean-up such as line breaks, empty lines, use of GMP functions etc

Before:

sage: x = factorial(2**14)
sage: timeit('y = odd_part(x)')
625 loops, best of 3: 10.6 µs per loop

sage: odd_part(0)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
...
TypeError: unsupported operands for >>: 0, +Infinity

After:

sage: x = factorial(2**14)
sage: timeit('y = x.odd_part()')
625 loops, best of 3: 4.52 µs per loop

sage: ZZ(0).odd_part()
0

Apply trac_10596.patch​, trac_10596_remove_trailing_whitespaces.patch​

I had the following failures to apply, 4.6.1.rc1 on OS X. This doesn't have 5945 as a prerequisite, does it?

I had the same thing happen as well.

[spancratz]

I'm sorry, I think this is because I was working on this with 4.6.0 rather than 4.6.1.rc0. I will fix that this morning. Sebastian

[spancratz]

Version for 4.6.1.rc0

[aly.deines]

All tests pass for me.

There's some of code I don't understand . . . so I'm not giving this a positive review.

[aapitzsch]

integer.pyx: ndigits(): unsigned long b is never used. (rc0 patch version)

[davidloeffler]

Hi Sebastian,

Hope you're well. Trivial comment: it's the done thing to put full names, not trac usernames, in the Author and Reviewer fields because they're used for compiling the release notes.

Less trivial: can you perhaps do a micro-patch that gets rid of the unused variable in ndigits? The rest of the code looks fine to me, and it would be good to get this positively reviewed soon, because any patch that changes quite so many lines of code is going to be highly vulnerable to bitrotting (it already conflicts with my patch at #10625, sigh).

Regards, David

Bitrotting happened: failed to apply trac-10596-461rc0.patch on sage-4.6.2.alpha4

[aapitzsch]

Rebased the patch by spancratz and added a patch that removes some trailing whitespaces.

Apply trac_10596_remove_trailing_whitespaces.patch​ after trac_10596.patch​

[aapitzsch]

I removed the ndigits() part because problem was fixed in #11796.

The patches apply cleanly to 4.8.alpha4: but there are quite a few warning on rebuilding, about variables being referenced before assignment. Does this matter?

All tests pass and docbuild is clean. I would give a positive review were it not for those warnings. If someone knows that they are not serious, please tell me.

The warnings seem not to be caused by this patch at since when I popped the patch and rebuilt they came up again. So, do they matter?

[aapitzsch]

Warnings are caused by lines like

cdef mpz_t tmp
mpz_init(tmp)

This seems to be a Cython problem, see ​http://trac.cython.org/cython_trac/ticket/714 and ​http://mail.python.org/pipermail/cython-devel/2011-September/001437.html, so warnings shouldn't matter.

And #11761 shows that the warnings are ok.

[davidloeffler]

Apply trac_10596.patch, trac_10596_remove_trailing_whitespaces.patch

(for the patchbot, so it understands the prerequisites for building #12116 against Sage 4.8)
