""" # Ideally the .array attribute never would have existed in the first # place, or would have been internal-only. This is a legacy of the # older design from Astropy that needs to have continued support, for # now. # One of the main problems with this design was that it created a # reference cycle. When the .array attribute was updated after # creating a FITS_rec from the column (as explained in the docstring) a # reference cycle was created. This is because the code in BinTableHDU # (and a few other places) does essentially the following: # # data._coldefs = columns # The ColDefs object holding this Column # for col in columns: # col.array = data.field(col.name) # # This way each columns .array attribute now points to the field in the # table data. It's actually a pretty confusing interface (since it # replaces the array originally pointed to by .array), but it's the way # things have been for a long, long time. # # However, this results, in *many* cases, in a reference cycle. # Because the array returned by data.field(col.name), while sometimes # an array that owns its own data, is usually like a slice of the # original data. It has the original FITS_rec as the array .base. # This results in the following reference cycle (for the n-th column): # # data -> data._coldefs -> data._coldefs[n] -> # data._coldefs[n].array -> data._coldefs[n].array.base -> data # # Because ndarray objects do not handled by Python's garbage collector # the reference cycle cannot be broken. Therefore the FITS_rec's # refcount never goes to zero, its __del__ is never called, and its # memory is never freed. This didn't occur in *all* cases, but it did # occur in many cases. # # To get around this, Column.array is no longer a simple attribute # like it was previously. Now each Column has a ._parent_fits_rec # attribute which is a weakref to a FITS_rec object. Code that # previously assigned each col.array to field in a FITS_rec (as in # the example a few paragraphs above) is still used, however now # array.setter checks if a reference cycle will be created. And if # so, instead of saving directly to the Column's __dict__, it creates # the ._prent_fits_rec weakref, and all lookups of the column's .array # go through that instead. # # This alone does not fully solve the problem. Because # _parent_fits_rec is a weakref, if the user ever holds a reference to # the Column, but deletes all references to the underlying FITS_rec, # the .array attribute would suddenly start returning None instead of # the array data. This problem is resolved on FITS_rec's end. See the # note in the FITS_rec._coldefs property for the rest of the story. # If the Columns's array is not a reference to an existing FITS_rec, # then it is just stored in self.__dict__; otherwise check the # _parent_fits_rec reference if it 's still available. if "array" in self.__dict__: return self.__dict__["array"] elif self._parent_fits_rec is not None: parent = self._parent_fits_rec() if parent is not None: return parent[self.name] else: return None @array.setter def array(self, array): # The following looks over the bases of the given array to check if it # has a ._coldefs attribute (i.e. is a FITS_rec) and that that _coldefs # contains this Column itself, and would create a reference cycle if we # stored the array directly in self.__dict__. # In this case it instead sets up the _parent_fits_rec weakref to the # underlying FITS_rec, so that array.getter can return arrays through # self._parent_fits_rec().field(self.name), rather than storing a # hard reference to the field like it used to. base = array while True: if hasattr(base, "_coldefs") and isinstance(base._coldefs, ColDefs): for col in base._coldefs: if col is self and self._parent_fits_rec is None: self._parent_fits_rec = weakref.ref(base) # Just in case the user already set .array to their own # array. if "array" in self.__dict__: del self.__dict__["array"] return if getattr(base, "base", None) is not None: base = base.base else: break self.__dict__["array"] = array @array.deleter def array(self): try: del self.__dict__["array"] except KeyError: pass self._parent_fits_rec = None @ColumnAttribute("TTYPE") def name(col, name): if name is None: # Allow None to indicate deleting the name, or to just indicate an # unspecified name (when creating a new Column). return # Check that the name meets the recommended standard--other column # names are *allowed*, but will be discouraged if isinstance(name, str) and not TTYPE_RE.match(name): warnings.warn( "It is strongly recommended that column names contain only " "upper and lower-case ASCII letters, digits, or underscores " "for maximum compatibility with other software " f"(got {name!r}).", VerifyWarning, ) # This ensures that the new name can fit into a single FITS card # without any special extension like CONTINUE cards or the like. if not isinstance(name, str) or len(str(Card("TTYPE", name))) != CARD_LENGTH: raise AssertionError( "Column name must be a string able to fit in a single " "FITS card--typically this means a maximum of 68 " "characters, though it may be fewer if the string " "contains special characters like quotes." ) @ColumnAttribute("TCTYP") def coord_type(col, coord_type): if coord_type is None: return if not isinstance(coord_type, str) or len(coord_type) > 8: raise AssertionError( "Coordinate/axis type must be a string of atmost 8 characters." ) @ColumnAttribute("TCUNI") def coord_unit(col, coord_unit): if coord_unit is not None and not isinstance(coord_unit, str): raise AssertionError("Coordinate/axis unit must be a string.") @ColumnAttribute("TCRPX") def coord_ref_point(col, coord_ref_point): if coord_ref_point is not None and not isinstance( coord_ref_point, numbers.Real ): raise AssertionError( "Pixel coordinate of the reference point must be real floating type." ) @ColumnAttribute("TCRVL") def coord_ref_value(col, coord_ref_value): if coord_ref_value is not None and not isinstance( coord_ref_value, numbers.Real ): raise AssertionError( "Coordinate value at reference point must be real floating type." ) @ColumnAttribute("TCDLT") def coord_inc(col, coord_inc): if coord_inc is not None and not isinstance(coord_inc, numbers.Real): raise AssertionError("Coordinate increment must be real floating type.") @ColumnAttribute("TRPOS") def time_ref_pos(col, time_ref_pos): if time_ref_pos is not None and not isinstance(time_ref_pos, str): raise AssertionError("Time reference position must be a string.") format = ColumnAttribute("TFORM") unit = ColumnAttribute("TUNIT") null = ColumnAttribute("TNULL") bscale = ColumnAttribute("TSCAL") bzero = ColumnAttribute("TZERO") disp = ColumnAttribute("TDISP") start = ColumnAttribute("TBCOL") dim = ColumnAttribute("TDIM") @lazyproperty def ascii(self): """Whether this `Column` represents a column in an ASCII table.""" return isinstance(self.format, _AsciiColumnFormat) @lazyproperty def dtype(self): return self.format.dtype
