Port the remaining runtime fixes from #7993 by youknowone · Pull Request #8995 · RustPython/RustPython · GitHub

This carries over the parts of #7993 by @JamesClarke7283 that main still needs. The commit is authored by them.

Dropped from #7993:

The SyntaxError message translation in the compiler and the test_syntax changes. Take SyntaxError messages and ranges from the parser #8983 replaced that approach by taking messages from the parser.
The codegen check for generator expressions in class bases. The parser already reports it.
Changes main already has, and the larger argument-checking refactors.

Of the 35 tests #7993 unmarks, 24 already pass on main. This PR fixes and unmarks these:

test_bytes: test_search_methods_reentrancy_raises_buffererror, test_hex_use_after_free
test_str: test_str_invalid_call
test_enum: test_custom_strenum
test_hashlib: test_clinic_signature_errors
test_json.test_scanstring: test_overflow
test_lzma: test_bad_filter_spec, test_init_bad_filter_spec
test_mmap: test_resize_up_anonymous_mapping
test_sqlite3.test_backup: test_non_callable_progress

test_overflow runs against the pure-Python decoder too, so re now takes pos/endpos as signed integers and raises OverflowError on overflow. test_ast's test_replace_non_str_kwarg stays marked: it still fails with #7993's changes.

Not checked locally:

The mmap check only applies on Linux/NetBSD, so it was not compiled or run here.
The sqlite3 backup test was not run because the local build has no _sqlite3.

Summary by CodeRabbit

Bug Fixes
- Improved argument validation for hash functions and str(), with clearer errors for duplicate, invalid, or unsupported arguments.
- Fixed JSON string scanning for invalid end positions and cases where an index doesn’t align with a character boundary.
- Improved LZMA filter option validation and mmap resize checks on supported platforms.
- Prevented bytearray resizing while certain operations convert inputs, and improved string-position handling in regular-expression operations.
- SQLite backup progress callbacks now reject non-callable values before the backup starts.

- bytearray: keep the buffer exported while converting the needle of find/count/index/rfind/rindex/__contains__/split/rsplit and the hex separator, so resizing from there raises BufferError - str(): report non-str encoding/errors as "str() argument 'X' must be str, not T", and check argument counts and name/position duplicates for keyword calls - hashlib/blake2: reject data given both by name and by position - _json.scanstring: take end as a signed integer and raise ValueError when it is out of bounds - _sre: take pos/endpos as signed integers, clamping negatives to 0 - lzma: reject filter specs with keys the filter does not take - mmap: raise ValueError when growing a shared anonymous mapping on Linux/NetBSD - _sqlite3: check that the backup progress argument is callable - Remove the expectedFailure markers of the tests these fix Assisted-by: Claude Code:claude-opus-5-5

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

This change updates argument binding for hash constructors, validates inputs for SQLite backups, JSON scanning, LZMA filters, and str(), and changes mmap resizing, bytearray buffer handling, and regular-expression position handling.

Changes

Hash Constructor Argument Binding

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Shared hash argument binding crates/stdlib/src/hashlib.rs	A shared helper rejects data supplied both positionally and by keyword. hashlib.new uses the helper before resolving the algorithm.
Hash constructor wrappers crates/stdlib/src/hashlib.rs, crates/stdlib/src/blake2.rs, crates/stdlib/src/md5.rs, crates/stdlib/src/sha1.rs, crates/stdlib/src/sha256.rs, crates/stdlib/src/sha3.rs, crates/stdlib/src/sha512.rs	Hash constructors accept raw arguments and bind them through the helper before calling their local implementations.

SQLite Backup Progress Callback

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Progress callback validation and dispatch crates/stdlib/src/_sqlite3.rs	Connection.backup checks that a supplied progress object is callable before setup and dispatches callbacks through call. Callback errors still finish the backup and propagate.

JSON scanstring End Index

Layer / File(s)	Summary
End index validation crates/stdlib/src/json.rs	scanstring accepts a signed end index, rejects negative or out-of-bounds values, and falls back to the string’s byte length when byte-index lookup fails.

LZMA Filter Key Validation

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Filter-specific key validation crates/stdlib/src/lzma.rs	LZMA, delta, and BCJ filter parsing rejects keys that are not allowed for the selected filter type.

Unix mmap Resize Checks

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Mapping flags and resize validation crates/stdlib/src/mmap.rs	The Unix constructor retains mapping flags. On Linux and NetBSD, resize checks size conversion and rejects growth of anonymous mappings unless MAP_PRIVATE is set.

Bytearray Buffer Export During Conversion

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Deferred search needle conversion crates/vm/src/bytes_inner.rs	Search options retain the original Python object and convert the needle after adjusting the search range.
Guarded bytearray argument conversion crates/vm/src/builtins/bytearray.rs	Bytearray operations temporarily export the buffer while converting arguments or binding options. The export is released on success or error.

str Constructor Argument Validation

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Encoding and errors argument handling crates/vm/src/builtins/str.rs	str() validates encoding and errors as strings and rejects excessive total arguments or positional arguments duplicated by keywords.

Regular Expression Position Handling

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Position normalization across operations crates/vm/src/stdlib/_sre.rs	StringPos clamps negative positions to zero. Matching, searching, iteration, and scanner operations pass the normalized positions to the engine.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Apply the key check to property encoding.

_encode_filter_properties calls parse_filter_properties, not parse_filter_chain_item. A filter dictionary with an unsupported key can therefore pass property encoding even though the constructors now reject it. Route both entrypoints through the filter-specific key check. CPython uses one filter-specifier converter for both entrypoints. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Validate encoding and errors before checking for object.

If a caller passes str(encoding=123) or str(errors=123), py_new takes the missing-object branch and returns "". The previous typed argument binding rejected these values. Move both calls to str_new_str_arg before the match args.object, so every supplied value receives validation. CPython also validates these arguments before constructing the empty string.
