Py_EndInterpreter() now explicitly untracks all objects currently
tracked by the GC. Previously, if an object was used later by another
interpreter, calling PyObject_GC_UnTrack() on the object crashed if
the previous or the next object of the PyGC_Head structure became a
dangling pointer.
If the DEBUG_STATS debug flag is set, gc_collect_main() now uses
_PyTime_GetPerfCounter() instead of _PyTime_GetMonotonicClock() to
measure the elapsed time.
On Windows, _PyTime_GetMonotonicClock() only has a resolution of 15.6
ms, whereas _PyTime_GetPerfCounter() is closer to a resolution of 100
ns.
Add new C-API functions to control the state of the garbage collector:
PyGC_Enable(), PyGC_Disable(), PyGC_IsEnabled(),
corresponding to the functions in the gc module.

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.
No longer use deprecated aliases to functions:
* Replace PyObject_MALLOC() with PyObject_Malloc()
* Replace PyObject_REALLOC() with PyObject_Realloc()
* Replace PyObject_FREE() with PyObject_Free()
* Replace PyObject_Del() with PyObject_Free()
* Replace PyObject_DEL() with PyObject_Free()
The last GC collection is now done before clearing builtins and sys
dictionaries. Add also assertions to ensure that gc.collect() is no
longer called after _PyGC_Fini().
Pass also the tstate to PyInterpreterState_Clear() to pass the
correct tstate to _PyGC_CollectNoFail() and _PyGC_Fini().
Move private _PyGC_CollectNoFail() to the internal C API.
Remove the private _PyGC_CollectIfEnabled() which was just an alias
to the public PyGC_Collect() function since Python 3.8.
Rename functions:
* collect() => gc_collect_main()
* collect_with_callback() => gc_collect_with_callback()
* collect_generations() => gc_collect_generations()
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".
The PyObject_INIT() and PyObject_INIT_VAR() macros become aliases to,
respectively, PyObject_Init() and PyObject_InitVar() functions.
Rename _PyObject_INIT() and _PyObject_INIT_VAR() static inline
functions to, respectively, _PyObject_Init() and _PyObject_InitVar(),
and move them to pycore_object.h. Remove their return value:
their return type becomes void.
The _datetime module is now built with the Py_BUILD_CORE_MODULE macro
defined.
Remove an outdated comment on _Py_tracemalloc_config.
The PEP 353, written in 2005, introduced PY_FORMAT_SIZE_T. Python no
longer supports macOS 10.4 and Visual Studio 2010, but requires more
recent macOS and Visual Studio versions. In 2020 with Python 3.10, it
is now safe to use directly "%zu" to format size_t and "%zi" to
format Py_ssize_t.
Each interpreter now has its own context free list:
* Move context free list into PyInterpreterState.
* Add _Py_context_state structure.
* Add tstate parameter to _PyContext_ClearFreeList()
and _PyContext_Fini().
* Pass tstate to clear_freelists().
Each interpreter now has its own asynchronous generator free lists:
* Move async gen free lists into PyInterpreterState.
* Move _PyAsyncGen_MAXFREELIST define to pycore_interp.h
* Add _Py_async_gen_state structure.
* Add tstate parameter to _PyAsyncGen_ClearFreeLists
and _PyAsyncGen_Fini().
Each interpreter now has its own list free list:
* Move list numfree and free_list into PyInterpreterState.
* Add _Py_list_state structure.
* Add tstate parameter to _PyList_ClearFreeList()
and _PyList_Fini().
* Remove "#ifdef EXPERIMENTAL_ISOLATED_SUBINTERPRETERS".
* _PyGC_Fini() clears gcstate->garbage list which can be stored in
the list free list. Call _PyGC_Fini() before _PyList_Fini() to
prevent leaking this list.
Each interpreter now has its own frame free list:
* Move frame free list into PyInterpreterState.
* Add _Py_frame_state structure.
* Add tstate parameter to _PyFrame_ClearFreeList()
and _PyFrame_Fini().
* Remove "#if PyFrame_MAXFREELIST > 0".
* Remove "#ifdef EXPERIMENTAL_ISOLATED_SUBINTERPRETERS".
Each interpreter now has its own float free list:
* Move tuple numfree and free_list into PyInterpreterState.
* Add _Py_float_state structure.
* Add tstate parameter to _PyFloat_ClearFreeList()
and _PyFloat_Fini().
Each interpreter now has its own tuple free lists:
* Move tuple numfree and free_list arrays into PyInterpreterState.
* Define PyTuple_MAXSAVESIZE and PyTuple_MAXFREELIST macros in
pycore_interp.h.
* Add _Py_tuple_state structure. Pass it explicitly to tuple_alloc().
* Add tstate parameter to _PyTuple_ClearFreeList()
* Each interpreter now has its own empty tuple singleton.
When Python is built with experimental isolated interpreters, a
garbage collection now does nothing in an isolated interpreter.
Temporary workaround until subinterpreters stop sharing Python
objects.
Remove the following function from the C API:
* PyAsyncGen_ClearFreeLists()
* PyContext_ClearFreeList()
* PyDict_ClearFreeList()
* PyFloat_ClearFreeList()
* PyFrame_ClearFreeList()
* PyList_ClearFreeList()
* PySet_ClearFreeList()
* PyTuple_ClearFreeList()
Make these functions private, move them to the internal C API and
change their return type to void.
Call explicitly PyGC_Collect() to free all free lists.
Note: PySet_ClearFreeList() did nothing.
Add the functions PyObject_GC_IsTracked and PyObject_GC_IsFinalized to the public API to allow to query if Python objects are being currently tracked or have been already finalized by the garbage collector respectively.
Convert the PyObject_GET_WEAKREFS_LISTPTR() macro to a function to
hide implementation details: the macro accessed directly to the
PyTypeObject.tp_weaklistoffset member.
Add _PyObject_GET_WEAKREFS_LISTPTR() static inline function to the
internal C API.
The bulk of this patch was generated automatically with:
for name in \
PyObject_Vectorcall \
Py_TPFLAGS_HAVE_VECTORCALL \
PyObject_VectorcallMethod \
PyVectorcall_Function \
PyObject_CallOneArg \
PyObject_CallMethodNoArgs \
PyObject_CallMethodOneArg \
;
do
echo $name
git grep -lwz _$name | xargs -0 sed -i "s/\b_$name\b/$name/g"
done
old=_PyObject_FastCallDict
new=PyObject_VectorcallDict
git grep -lwz $old | xargs -0 sed -i "s/\b$old\b/$new/g"
and then cleaned up:
- Revert changes to in docs & news
- Revert changes to backcompat defines in headers
- Nudge misaligned comments
collect() should not get an exception, but it does, logging the
exception is enough. Override sys.unraisablehook to decide how to
handle unraisable exceptions.
Py_FatalError() should be avoided whenever possible.
The comment about the collection rules for the permanent generation was
incorrectly referenced by a comment in gcmodule.c (the comment has been
moved long ago into a header file). Moving the comment into the relevant
code helps with readability and avoids broken references.
Remove PyMethod_ClearFreeList() and PyCFunction_ClearFreeList()
functions: the free lists of bound method objects have been removed.
Remove also _PyMethod_Fini() and _PyCFunction_Fini() functions.
* Add GCState type for readability
* gcmodule.c now gets its gcstate from tstate
* _PyGC_DumpShutdownStats() now expects tstate rather than runtime
* Rename "state" to "gcstate" for readability: to avoid confusion
between "state" and "tstate" for example.
* collect() now only expects tstate: it gets gcstate from tstate.
* Pass tstate to _PyErr_xxx() functions
* Factorize code in common between Py_FinalizeEx() and
Py_EndInterpreter().
* Py_EndInterpreter() now also calls _PyWarnings_Fini().
* Call _PyExc_Fini() and _PyGC_Fini() later in the finalization.
Add PyInterpreterState.runtime field: reference to the _PyRuntime
global variable. This field exists to not have to pass runtime in
addition to tstate to a function. Get runtime from tstate:
tstate->interp->runtime.
Remove "_PyRuntimeState *runtime" parameter from functions already
taking a "PyThreadState *tstate" parameter.
_PyGC_Init() first parameter becomes "PyThreadState *tstate".
