The `PyThreadState_Clear()` function must only be called with the GIL
held and must be called from the same interpreter as the passed in
thread state. Otherwise, any Python objects on the thread state may be
destroyed using the wrong interpreter, leading to memory corruption.
This is also important for `Py_GIL_DISABLED` builds because free lists
will be associated with PyThreadStates and cleared in
`PyThreadState_Clear()`.
This fixes two places that called `PyThreadState_Clear()` from the wrong
interpreter and adds an assertion to `PyThreadState_Clear()`.
* Move _PyRuntimeState.time to _posixstate.ticks_per_second and
time_module_state.ticks_per_second.
* Add time_module_state.clocks_per_second.
* Rename _PyTime_GetClockWithInfo() to py_clock().
* Rename _PyTime_GetProcessTimeWithInfo() to py_process_time().
* Add process_time_times() helper function, called by
py_process_time().
* os.times() is now always built: no longer rely on HAVE_TIMES.
No longer export _PyUnicode_FromId() internal C API function.
Change comment style to "// comment" and add comment explaining why
other functions have to be exported.
Update Tools/build/generate_token.py to update Include/internal/pycore_token.h
comments.
No longer export these 2 internal C API functions:
* _PyEval_SignalAsyncExc()
* _PyEval_SignalReceived()
Add also comments explaining why some internal functions have to be
exported, and update existing comments.
Remove private pylifecycle.h functions: move them to the internal C
API ( pycore_atexit.h, pycore_pylifecycle.h and pycore_signal.h). No
longer export most of these functions.
Move _testcapi.test_atexit() to _testinternalcapi.
Remove the following old functions to configure the Python
initialization, deprecated in Python 3.11:
* PySys_AddWarnOptionUnicode()
* PySys_AddWarnOption()
* PySys_AddXOption()
* PySys_HasWarnOptions()
* PySys_SetArgvEx()
* PySys_SetArgv()
* PySys_SetPath()
* Py_SetPath()
* Py_SetProgramName()
* Py_SetPythonHome()
* Py_SetStandardStreamEncoding()
* _Py_SetProgramFullPath()
Most of these functions are kept in the stable ABI, except:
* Py_SetStandardStreamEncoding()
* _Py_SetProgramFullPath()
Update Doc/extending/embedding.rst and Doc/extending/extending.rst to
use the new PyConfig API.
_testembed.c:
* check_stdio_details() now sets stdio_encoding and stdio_errors
of PyConfig.
* Add definitions of functions removed from the API but kept in the
stable ABI.
* test_init_from_config() and test_init_read_set() now use
PyConfig_SetString() instead of PyConfig_SetBytesString().
Remove _Py_ClearStandardStreamEncoding() internal function.
This is strictly about moving the "obmalloc" runtime state from
`_PyRuntimeState` to `PyInterpreterState`. Doing so improves isolation
between interpreters, specifically most of the memory (incl. objects)
allocated for each interpreter's use. This is important for a
per-interpreter GIL, but such isolation is valuable even without it.
FWIW, a per-interpreter obmalloc is the proverbial
canary-in-the-coalmine when it comes to the isolation of objects between
interpreters. Any object that leaks (unintentionally) to another
interpreter is highly likely to cause a crash (on debug builds at
least). That's a useful thing to know, relative to interpreter
isolation.
This change is almost entirely moving code around and hiding import state behind internal API. We introduce no changes to behavior, nor to non-internal API. (Since there was already going to be a lot of churn, I took this as an opportunity to re-organize import.c into topically-grouped sections of code.) The motivation is to simplify a number of upcoming changes.
Specific changes:
* move existing import-related code to import.c, wherever possible
* add internal API for interacting with import state (both global and per-interpreter)
* use only API outside of import.c (to limit churn there when changing the location, etc.)
* consolidate the import-related state of PyInterpreterState into a single struct field (this changes layout slightly)
* add macros for import state in import.c (to simplify changing the location)
* group code in import.c into sections
*remove _PyState_AddModule()
https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/101758
The objective of this change is to help make the GILState-related code easier to understand. This mostly involves moving code around and some semantically equivalent refactors. However, there are a also a small number of slight changes in structure and behavior:
* tstate_current is moved out of _PyRuntimeState.gilstate
* autoTSSkey is moved out of _PyRuntimeState.gilstate
* autoTSSkey is initialized earlier
* autoTSSkey is re-initialized (after fork) earlier
https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/59956
We actually don't move PyImport_Inittab. Instead, we make a copy that we keep on _PyRuntimeState and use only that after Py_Initialize(). We also prevent folks from modifying PyImport_Inittab (the best we can) after that point.
https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/81057
Fix signal.NSIG value on FreeBSD to accept signal numbers greater
than 32, like signal.SIGRTMIN and signal.SIGRTMAX.
* Add Py_NSIG constant.
* Add pycore_signal.h internal header file.
* _Py_Sigset_Converter() now includes the range of valid signals in
the error message.
Add 'static_exceptions' list to factorize code between
_PyExc_InitTypes() and _PyBuiltins_AddExceptions().
_PyExc_InitTypes() does nothing if it's not the main interpreter.
Sort exceptions in Lib/test/exception_hierarchy.txt.
Add _PyStructSequence_FiniType() and _PyStaticType_Dealloc()
functions to finalize a structseq static type in Py_Finalize().
Currrently, these functions do nothing if Python is built in release
mode.
Clear static types:
* AsyncGenHooksType: sys.set_asyncgen_hooks()
* FlagsType: sys.flags
* FloatInfoType: sys.float_info
* Hash_InfoType: sys.hash_info
* Int_InfoType: sys.int_info
* ThreadInfoType: sys.thread_info
* UnraisableHookArgsType: sys.unraisablehook
* VersionInfoType: sys.version
* WindowsVersionType: sys.getwindowsversion()
This change is strictly renames and moving code around. It helps in the following ways:
* ensures type-related init functions focus strictly on one of the three aspects (state, objects, types)
* passes in PyInterpreterState * to all those functions, simplifying work on moving types/objects/state to the interpreter
* consistent naming conventions help make what's going on more clear
* keeping API related to a type in the corresponding header file makes it more obvious where to look for it

During runtime startup we figure out the stdlib dir but currently throw that information away. This change preserves it and exposes it via PyConfig.stdlib_dir, _Py_GetStdlibDir(), and sys._stdlib_dir.
https://bugs.python.org/issue45211
Reorganize pycore_interp_init() to initialize singletons before the
the first PyType_Ready() call. Fix an issue when Python is configured
using --without-doc-strings.
At Python startup, call _PyGILState_Init() before
PyInterpreterState_New() which calls _PyThreadState_GET(). When
Python is built using --with-experimental-isolated-subinterpreters,
_PyThreadState_GET() uses autoTSSkey.
Pass the current interpreter (interp) rather than the current Python
thread state (tstate) to internal functions which only use the
interpreter.
Modified functions:
* _PyXXX_Fini() and _PyXXX_ClearFreeList() functions
* _PyEval_SignalAsyncExc(), make_pending_calls()
* _PySys_GetObject(), sys_set_object(), sys_set_object_id(), sys_set_object_str()
* should_audit(), set_flags_from_config(), make_flags()
* _PyAtExit_Call()
* init_stdio_encoding()
* etc.
Make the type attribute lookup cache per-interpreter.
Add private _PyType_InitCache() function, called by PyInterpreterState_New().
Continue to share next_version_tag between interpreters, since static
types are still shared by interpreters.
Remove MCACHE macro: the cache is no longer disabled if the
EXPERIMENTAL_ISOLATED_SUBINTERPRETERS macro is defined.
* Add _PyAtExit_Call() function and remove pyexitfunc and
pyexitmodule members of PyInterpreterState. The function
logs atexit callback errors using _PyErr_WriteUnraisableMsg().
* Add _PyAtExit_Init() and _PyAtExit_Fini() functions.
* Remove traverse, clear and free functions of the atexit module.

At Python exit, if a callback registered with atexit.register()
fails, its exception is now logged. Previously, only some exceptions
were logged, and the last exception was always silently ignored.
Add _PyAtExit_Call() function and remove
PyInterpreterState.atexit_func member. call_py_exitfuncs() now calls
directly _PyAtExit_Call().
The atexit module must now always be built as a built-in module.
Remove the undocumented PyOS_InitInterrupts() C function.
* Rename PyOS_InitInterrupts() to _PySignal_Init(). It now installs
other signal handlers, not only SIGINT.
* Rename PyOS_FiniInterrupts() to _PySignal_Fini()
* Call _PyTime_Init() and _PyWarnings_InitState() earlier during the
Python initialization.
* Inline _PyImportHooks_Init() into _PySys_InitCore().
* The _warnings initialization function no longer call
_PyWarnings_InitState() to prevent resetting filters_version to 0.
* _PyWarnings_InitState() now returns an int and no longer clear the
state in case of error (it's done anyway at Python exit).
* Rework init_importlib(), fix refleaks on errors.
When Py_Initialize() is called twice, the second call now updates
more sys attributes for the configuration, rather than only sys.argv.
* Rename _PySys_InitMain() to _PySys_UpdateConfig().
* _PySys_UpdateConfig() now modifies sys.flags in-place, instead of
creating a new flags object.
* Remove old commented sys.flags flags (unbuffered and skip_first).
* Add private _PySys_GetObject() function.
* When Py_Initialize(), Py_InitializeFromConfig() and
Call _PyAST_Fini() on all interpreters, not only on the main
interpreter. Also, call it ealier to fix a reference leak.
Python types contain a reference to themselves in in their
PyTypeObject.tp_mro member. _PyAST_Fini() must called before the last
GC collection to destroy AST types.
_PyInterpreterState_Clear() now calls _PyAST_Fini(). It now also
calls _PyWarnings_Fini() on subinterpeters, not only on the main
interpreter.
Add an assertion in AST init_types() to ensure that the _ast module
is no longer used after _PyAST_Fini() has been called.
Partially revert commit ac46eb4ad6662cf6d771b20d8963658b2186c48c:
"bpo-38113: Update the Python-ast.c generator to PEP384 (gh-15957)".
Using a module state per module instance is causing subtle practical
problems.
For example, the Mercurial project replaces the __import__() function
to implement lazy import, whereas Python expected that "import _ast"
always return a fully initialized _ast module.
Add _PyAST_Fini() to clear the state at exit.
The _ast module has no state (set _astmodule.m_size to 0). Remove
astmodule_traverse(), astmodule_clear() and astmodule_free()
functions.
Always create the empty bytes string singleton.
Optimize PyBytes_FromStringAndSize(str, 0): it no longer has to check
if the empty string singleton was created or not, it is always
available.
Add functions:
* _PyBytes_Init()
* bytes_get_empty(), bytes_new_empty()
* bytes_create_empty_string_singleton()
* unicode_create_empty_string_singleton()
_Py_unicode_state: rename empty structure member to empty_string.
Py_InitializeFromConfig() now always creates the empty tuple
singleton as soon as possible.
Optimize PyTuple_New(0): it no longer has to check if the empty tuple
was created or not, it is always creatd.
* Add tuple_create_empty_tuple_singleton() function.
* Add tuple_get_empty() function.
* Remove state parameter of tuple_alloc().
Each interpreter now has its own MemoryError free list: it is not
longer shared by all interpreters.
Add _Py_exc_state structure and PyInterpreterState.exc_state member.
Move also errnomap into _Py_exc_state.
* Revert "bpo-40521: Make the empty frozenset per interpreter (GH-21068)"
This reverts commit 261cfedf76.
* bpo-40521: Empty frozensets are no longer singletons
* Complete the removal of the frozenset singleton
Each interpreter now has its own empty bytes string and single byte
character singletons.
Replace STRINGLIB_EMPTY macro with STRINGLIB_GET_EMPTY() macro.
Each interpreter now has its own dict free list:
* Move dict free lists into PyInterpreterState.
* Move PyDict_MAXFREELIST define to pycore_interp.h
* Add _Py_dict_state structure.
* Add tstate parameter to _PyDict_ClearFreeList() and _PyDict_Fini().
* In debug mode, ensure that the dict free lists are not used after
_PyDict_Fini() is called.
* Remove "#ifdef EXPERIMENTAL_ISOLATED_SUBINTERPRETERS".
