Move private _PyEval functions to the internal C API
(pycore_ceval.h):
* _PyEval_GetBuiltin()
* _PyEval_GetBuiltinId()
* _PyEval_GetSwitchInterval()
* _PyEval_MakePendingCalls()
* _PyEval_SetProfile()
* _PyEval_SetSwitchInterval()
* _PyEval_SetTrace()
No longer export most of these functions.
Remove the internal _PyDict_GetItemStringWithError() function. It can
now be replaced with the new public PyDict_ContainsString() and
PyDict_GetItemStringRef() functions.
getargs.c now now uses a strong reference for current_arg.
find_keyword() returns a strong reference.
Move private debug _PyObject functions to the internal C API
(pycore_object.h):
* _PyDebugAllocatorStats()
* _PyObject_CheckConsistency()
* _PyObject_DebugTypeStats()
* _PyObject_IsFreed()
No longer export most of these functions, except of
_PyObject_IsFreed().
Move test functions using _PyObject_IsFreed() from _testcapi to
_testinternalcapi. check_pyobject_is_freed() test no longer catch
_testcapi.error: the tested function cannot raise _testcapi.error.
* Add PyDict_GetItemRef() and PyDict_GetItemStringRef() functions.
Add these functions to the stable ABI version 3.13.
* Add unit tests on the PyDict C API in test_capi.
Moving it valuable with a per-interpreter GIL. However, it is also useful without one, since it allows us to identify refleaks within a single interpreter or where references are escaping an interpreter. This becomes more important as we move the obmalloc state to PyInterpreterState.

* Make sure that the current exception is always normalized.
* Remove redundant type and traceback fields for the current exception.
* Add new API functions: PyErr_GetRaisedException, PyErr_SetRaisedException
* Add new API functions: PyException_GetArgs, PyException_SetArgs
* Change _PyDict_KeysSize() and shared_keys_usable_size() return type
from signed (Py_ssize_t) to unsigned (size_t) type.
* new_values() argument type is now unsigned (size_t).
* init_inline_values() now uses size_t rather than int for the 'i'
iterator variable.
* type.__sizeof__() implementation now uses unsigned (size_t) type.
Replace "(PyCFunction)(void(*)(void))func" cast with
_PyCFunction_CAST(func).
Change generated by the command:
sed -i -e \
's!(PyCFunction)(void(\*)(void)) *\([A-Za-z0-9_]\+\)!_PyCFunction_CAST(\1)!g' \
$(find -name "*.c")
Add macros to cast objects to PyASCIIObject*, PyCompactUnicodeObject*
and PyUnicodeObject*: _PyASCIIObject_CAST(),
_PyCompactUnicodeObject_CAST() and _PyUnicodeObject_CAST(). Using
these new macros make the code more readable and check their argument
with: assert(PyUnicode_Check(op)).
Remove redundant assert(PyUnicode_Check(op)) in macros using directly
or indirectly these new CAST macros.
Replacing existing casts with these macros.
We're no longer using _Py_IDENTIFIER() (or _Py_static_string()) in any core CPython code. It is still used in a number of non-builtin stdlib modules.
The replacement is: PyUnicodeObject (not pointer) fields under _PyRuntimeState, statically initialized as part of _PyRuntime. A new _Py_GET_GLOBAL_IDENTIFIER() macro facilitates lookup of the fields (along with _Py_GET_GLOBAL_STRING() for non-identifier strings).
https://bugs.python.org/issue46541#msg411799 explains the rationale for this change.
The core of the change is in:
* (new) Include/internal/pycore_global_strings.h - the declarations for the global strings, along with the macros
* Include/internal/pycore_runtime_init.h - added the static initializers for the global strings
* Include/internal/pycore_global_objects.h - where the struct in pycore_global_strings.h is hooked into _PyRuntimeState
* Tools/scripts/generate_global_objects.py - added generation of the global string declarations and static initializers
I've also added a --check flag to generate_global_objects.py (along with make check-global-objects) to check for unused global strings. That check is added to the PR CI config.
The remainder of this change updates the core code to use _Py_GET_GLOBAL_IDENTIFIER() instead of _Py_IDENTIFIER() and the related _Py*Id functions (likewise for _Py_GET_GLOBAL_STRING() instead of _Py_static_string()). This includes adding a few functions where there wasn't already an alternative to _Py*Id(), replacing the _Py_Identifier * parameter with PyObject *.
The following are not changed (yet):
* stop using _Py_IDENTIFIER() in the stdlib modules
* (maybe) get rid of _Py_IDENTIFIER(), etc. entirely -- this may not be doable as at least one package on PyPI using this (private) API
* (maybe) intern the strings during runtime init
