Add a new _PyObject_CheckConsistency() function which can be used to
help debugging. The function is available in release mode.
Add a 'check_content' parameter to _PyDict_CheckConsistency().
Add -fmax-type-align=8 to CFLAGS when clang compiler is detected.
The pymalloc memory allocator aligns memory on 8 bytes. On x86-64,
clang expects alignment on 16 bytes by default and so uses MOVAPS
instruction which can lead to segmentation fault. Instruct clang that
Python is limited to alignemnt on 8 bytes to use MOVUPS instruction
instead: slower but don't trigger a SIGSEGV if the memory is not
aligned on 16 bytes.
Sadly, the flag must be expected to CFLAGS and not just
CFLAGS_NODIST, since third party C extensions can have the same
issue.
For BufferedReader and BufferedWriter, seek and tell operations are
optional (they may or may not exist based on the underlying stream). For
BufferedRandom, they are mandatory: a BufferedRandom should not be
constructed over an unseekable underlying stream. Document this.
This is effectively an un-revert of #11617 and #12024 (reverted in #12159). Portions of those were merged in other PRs (with lower risk) and this represents the remainder. Note that I found 3 different bugs in the original PRs and have fixed them here.
In development mode (-X dev) and in debug build, the io.IOBase
destructor now logs close() exceptions. These exceptions are silent
by default in release mode.
On AIX, sys.platform doesn't contain the major version anymore.
Always return 'aix', instead of 'aix3' .. 'aix7'. Since
older Python versions include the version number, it is recommended to
always use sys.platform.startswith('aix').
Fix test_sys.test_getallocatedblocks() when tracemalloc is enabled.
If the name of Python memory allocators cannot get read, consider
that pymalloc is disabled.
Fix the following error:
./python -X tracemalloc -m test test_sys -v -m test_getallocatedblocks
ERROR: test_getallocatedblocks (test.test_sys.SysModuleTest)
------------------------------------------------------------
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "Lib/test/test_sys.py", line 770, in test_getallocatedblocks
alloc_name = _testcapi.pymem_getallocatorsname()
RuntimeError: cannot get allocators name
Modify CLEANBYTE, DEADDYTE and FORBIDDENBYTE constants: use 0xCD,
0xDD and 0xFD, rather than 0xCB, 0xBB and 0xFB, to use the same byte
patterns than Windows CRT debug malloc() and free().
Replace _PyMem_IsFreed() function with _PyMem_IsPtrFreed() inline
function. The function is now way more efficient, it became a simple
comparison on integers, rather than a short loop. It detects also
uninitialized bytes and "forbidden bytes" filled by debug hooks
on memory allocators.
Add unit tests on _PyObject_IsFreed().
The random module now prefers the lean internal _sha512 module over hashlib
for seed(version=2) to optimize import time.

Fixes some mistakes and misleadings in the quote function docstring:
- reserved chars are never actually used by quote code, unreserved chars are
- reserved chars were wrong and incomplete
- mentioned that use-case is not minimal quoting wrt. RFC, but cautious quoting
Fix time.mktime() error handling on AIX for year before 1970.
Other changes:
* mktime(): rename variable 'buf' to 'tm'.
* _PyTime_localtime():
* Use "localtime" rather than "ctime" in the error message
(specific to AIX).
* Always initialize errno to 0 just in case if localtime_r()
doesn't set errno on error.
* On AIX, avoid abs() which is limited to int type.
* EINVAL constant is now always available.
[bpo-36146](https://bugs.python.org/issue36146) introduced another regression. In case of missing OpenSSL
libraries or headers, setup.py no longer reported _hashlib and _ssl to
be missing.

dash_R() function of libregrtest doesn't call support.gc_collect()
directly anymore: it's already called by dash_R_cleanup().
Call dash_R_cleanup() before starting the loop.
Fix reference leak hunting in regrtest: compute also deltas (of
reference count, allocated memory blocks, file descriptor count)
during warmup, to ensure that everything is initialized before
starting to hunt reference leaks.
Other changes:
* Replace gc.collect() with support.gc_collect()
* Move calls to read memory statistics from dash_R_cleanup() to
dash_R()
* Pass regrtest 'ns' to dash_R()
* dash_R() is now more quiet with --quiet option (don't display
progress).
* Precompute the full range for "for it in range(repcount):" to
ensure that the iteration doesn't allocate anything new.
* dash_R() now is responsible to call warm_caches().
While Windows exposes the system processor queue length, the raw value
used for load calculations on Unix systems, it does not provide an API
to access the averaged value. Hence to calculate the load we must track
and average it ourselves. We can't use multiprocessing or a thread to
read it in the background while the tests run since using those would
conflict with test_multiprocessing and test_xxsubprocess.
Thus, we use Window's asynchronous IO API to run the tracker in the
background with it sampling at the correct rate. When we wish to access
the load we check to see if there's new data on the stream, if there is,
we update our load values.
Move all documentation regarding the readinto method into either io.RawIOBase or io.BufferedIOBase.
Corresponding changes to documentation in the _pyio.py module.
It turns out doing socket.listen(0) does not equal to "choose a
reasonable default". It actually means "set backlog to 0".
As such set backlog=None as the default for socket.create_server.
