Summary

Align native range search, argument, subscription, and iterator controls with CPython 3.15 in 340 substantive changed production lines (+155/-185):

  • Reuse shared sequence count/index and the extracted iteration-only contains fallback, preserving element-first equality, actual match positions, and callback exceptions.
  • Share the exact-int/bool fast path. Other int subclasses keep equality callbacks; bool containment no longer iterates an enormous range.
  • Bind constructor objects with the existing tuple binder, then convert start, stop, and step through the shared delayed ArgIndex converter while retaining the originals.
  • Preserve subscription conversion exceptions and invalid-return diagnostics.
  • Share forward/reverse iterator construction and select compact iterators using platform C-long bounds, including exhausted endpoints and reverse overflow boundaries.
  • Advance iterator state relative to the remaining range without reviving exhaustion. Fast state uses shared ArgIndex and C-long overflow checks; long state requires exact ints. Preserve reentrant conversion and cleanup order.

No Python, Lib, test, marker, or workflow edits. Existing atomic iterator storage, fast_next specialization, and reduction snapshots are unchanged.

Validation

  • Compared against pinned CPython range source and shared sequence search.
  • Original search/control group: 12,664 CPython/reference-model assertions passed, with independent callback, finalizer, error, and enormous-bool checks.
  • Iterator increment: 142,161 CPython/source-model assertions and 36,608 additional independent assertions passed. Coverage includes 32/64-bit C-long boundary models, actual 64-bit forward/reverse selection, sequential state advancement, exhaustion, pickle round trips, conversion callbacks and original-state finalizers. Final cleanup correction also passed 30 lifecycle assertions and independent refcount-order review.
  • Independent exact-source review passed for the full composition and final two-line cleanup correction. These oracle/model checks do not execute the Rust implementation.
  • Focused host-env/VM/stdlib threading cargo check, normal all-targets Clippy, formatting, diff checks, and ordinary commit hooks passed. Four Clippy diagnostics exactly match unchanged main baseline: one POSIX needless-collect and three ElementTree lints. Strict -D warnings remains blocked by that baseline; nothing was suppressed.
  • Native RustPython execution was not performed because the required execution guard has not been verified. Full workspace/C-API suites and cross-platform runtime tests were not run. Hosted CI remains required; Windows and 32-bit iterator checks are source/model validation only.

Remaining limits

The shared binder retains its unexpected-keyword diagnostic rather than Clinic's blanket keyword error. Shared sequence search retains theoretical signed-size overflow differences for enormous fallback searches. UTF-8 type names truncate on a character boundary within 200 bytes. Range slicing remains unchanged. Existing range-test crash skips remain intact and are not claimed resolved.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Range construction now converts arguments in order and consistently handles omitted values and zero steps.
    • Range membership, index, and count now respect custom equality behavior for integer subclasses.
    • Range iteration supports large values when compact iteration cannot safely represent them.
    • Restoring iterator state now advances from the current position, with advances bounded by the remaining items.
    • Invalid range-index values produce clearer type errors.

Reuse shared sequence searches and delayed index conversion while preserving callback exceptions and operand lifetimes.

Walkthrough

Range construction now binds arguments before applying __index__ conversions. Containment, index, and count use direct arithmetic for exact integers and booleans. Forward and reversed iteration share a compact-or-arbitrary-precision iterator factory, and iterator state advances from the current index.

Changes: Range behavior

Layer / File(s) Summary
Range construction and index conversion
crates/vm/src/builtins/range.rs
Construction binds positional arguments before conversion and validates the step. Range-index conversion uses optional __index__ conversion and reports a bounded type name on failure.
Containment, index, and count
crates/vm/src/builtins/range.rs, crates/vm/src/protocol/sequence.rs
Exact integers and booleans use direct range arithmetic. Other values use sequence-protocol operations, whose iteration fallback now avoids redispatching the contains slot.
Forward and reversed iterator selection
crates/vm/src/builtins/range.rs
Forward and reversed iteration use a shared factory. It selects the compact iterator when C long bounds and checked arithmetic permit it, and otherwise uses the arbitrary-precision iterator.
Iterator state advancement
crates/vm/src/builtins/range.rs
The long iterator accepts exact integers for state. The compact iterator converts state through __index__ and checks C long bounds. Both advance from the current index by a capped amount.

Merge Risk: Low · up to a3ff6

On 32-bit builds, searching extremely large ranges for an absent non-integer can raise OverflowError instead of ValueError. This narrow boundary regression presents low merge risk; correct the check ordering and add iterator-state regression tests.

The range iterator tests do not cover __setstate__ for the two cases that matter in this change: after consumption, and after exhaustion. Both setters advance from the current position and stop at the length. The current tests do not detect a switch to absolute assignment. The one __setstate__ test starts at index zero, where both behaviors give the same result. The compact iterator has no __setstate__ test. The exhausted-iterator test calls only fast_next.

Add coverage for both iterator variants:

  • Consume one item, then call __setstate__ with state 1. The next value must be 2. An absolute assignment would return 1.
  • Exhaust the iterator, then call __setstate__ with state 1. The next call must raise StopIteration. The index must stay at the length.

Move the index overflow check into the matching branch in PySequence::index.

The check currently runs before each element is compared. On 32-bit builds, an absent value in range(2**31 + 1) then raises OverflowError at index 2**31. Before this change, the same search raised ValueError. CPython raises the overflow only when a matching element is past the limit. Move the check after the match succeeds so that only a matching element can raise it.
