string is pure ASCII: use _PyBytesWriter_WriteBytes(), don't check individual
character.
Cleanup unicode_encode_ucs1():
* Rename repunicode to rep
* Clear rep object on error
* Factorize code between bytes and unicode path
Issue #25318: Optimize backslashreplace and xmlcharrefreplace error handlers in
UTF-8 encoder. Optimize also backslashreplace error handler for ASCII and
Latin1 encoders.
Use the new _PyBytesWriter API to optimize these error handlers for the
encoders. It avoids to create an exception and call the slow implementation of
the error handler.
Add a new private API to optimize Unicode encoders. It uses a small buffer
allocated on the stack and supports overallocation.
Use _PyBytesWriter API for UCS1 (ASCII and Latin1) and UTF-8 encoders. Enable
overallocation for the UTF-8 encoder with error handlers.
unicode_encode_ucs1(): initialize collend to collstart+1 to not check the
current character twice, we already know that it is not ASCII.
The utf-16* and utf-32* encoders no longer allow surrogate code points
(U+D800-U+DFFF) to be encoded.
The utf-32* decoders no longer decode byte sequences that correspond to
surrogate code points.
The surrogatepass error handler now works with the utf-16* and utf-32* codecs.
Based on patches by Victor Stinner and Kang-Hao (Kenny) Lu.
Remove an unused early-out test from the critical path for
dict and set lookups.
When the strings already have matching lengths, kinds, and hashes,
there is no additional information gained by checking the first
characters (the probability of a mismatch is already known to
be less than 1 in 2**64).
* Add also min_char attribute to _PyUnicodeWriter structure (currently unused)
* _PyUnicodeWriter_Init() has no more argument (except the writer itself):
min_length and overallocate must be set explicitly
* In error handlers, only enable overallocation if the replacement string
is longer than 1 character
* CJK decoders don't use overallocation anymore
* Set min_length, instead of preallocating memory using
_PyUnicodeWriter_Prepare(), in many decoders
* _PyUnicode_DecodeUnicodeInternal() checks for integer overflow
Write a function to enable more optimizations:
* If the substring is the whole string and overallocation is disabled, just
keep a reference to the string, don't copy characters
* Avoid a call to the expensive _PyUnicode_FindMaxChar() function when
possible
I've left a couple of them in: zlib (third-party lib), getaddrinfo.c
(doesn't include Python.h, and probably obsolete), _sre.c (legitimate
use for the re.LOCALE flag).
