This change is part of the work on PEP-738: Adding Android as a
supported platform.
* Remove the "1.0" suffix from libpython's filename on Android, which
would prevent Gradle from packaging it into an app.
* Simplify the build command in the Makefile so that libpython always
gets given an SONAME with the `-Wl-h` argument, even if the SONAME is
identical to the actual filename.
* Disable a number of functions on Android which can be compiled and
linked against, but always fail at runtime. As a result, the native
_multiprocessing module is no longer built for Android.
* gh-115390 (bee7bb331) added some pre-determined results to the
configure script for things that can't be autodetected when
cross-compiling; this change adds Android to these where appropriate.
* Add a couple more pre-determined results for Android, and making them
cover iOS as well. This means the --enable-ipv6 configure option will
no longer be required on either platform.
Part of the work on PEP 738: Adding Android as a supported platform.
* Rename the LIBPYTHON variable to MODULE_LDFLAGS, to more accurately
reflect its purpose.
* Edit makesetup to use MODULE_LDFLAGS when linking extension modules.
* Edit the Makefile so that extension modules depend on libpython on
Android and Cygwin.
* Restore `-fPIC` on Android. It was removed several years ago with a
note that the toolchain used it automatically, but this is no longer
the case. Omitting it causes all linker commands to fail with an error
like `relocation R_AARCH64_ADR_PREL_PG_HI21 cannot be used against
symbol '_Py_FalseStruct'; recompile with -fPIC`.
Part of the PEP 730 work to add iOS support.
This change lays the groundwork for introducing iOS/tvOS/watchOS
frameworks; it includes the structural refactoring needed so that iOS
branches can be added into in a subsequent PR.
Summary of changes:
* Updates config.sub to the 2024-01-01 release. This is the "as
released" version of config.sub.
* Adds a RESSRCDIR variable to allow sharing of macOS and iOS Makefile
steps.
* Adds an INSTALLTARGETS variable so platforms can customise which
targets are actually installed. This will be used to exclude certain
targets (e.g., binaries, manfiles) from iOS framework installs.
* Adds a PYTHONFRAMEWORKINSTALLNAMEPREFIX variable; this is used as
the install name for the library. This is needed to allow for iOS
frameworks to specify an @rpath-based install name.
* Evaluates MACHDEP earlier in the configure process so that
ac_sys_system is available.
* Modifies _PYTHON_HOST_PLATFORM evaluation for cross-platform builds
so that the CPU architecture is differentiated from the host
identifier. This will be used to generate a _PYTHON_HOST_PLATFORM
definition that includes ABI information, not just CPU architecture.
* Differentiates between SOABI_PLATFORM and PLATFORM_TRIPLET.
SOABI_PLATFORM is used in binary module names, and includes the ABI,
but not the OS or CPU architecture (e.g.,
math.cpython-313-iphonesimulator.dylib). PLATFORM_TRIPLET is used
as the sys._multiarch value, and on iOS will contains the ABI and
architecture (e.g., iphoneos-arm64). This differentiation hasn't
historically been needed because while macOS is a multiarch platform,
it uses a bare darwin as PLATFORM_TRIPLE.
* Removes the use of the deprecated -Wl,-single_module flag when
compiling macOS frameworks.
* Some whitespace normalisation where there was a mix of spaces and tabs
in a single block.
This ensures the source directory is not modified at build time, and different builds (e.g. different versions or GIL vs no-GIL) do not have conflicts.
A typo left this check broken so many of us who do out-of-tree builds
were seeing strange failures due to bad `Python/frozen_modules/*.h`
files being picked up from the source tree and used at build time from
different Python versions leading to errors like:
`Fatal Python error: _PyImport_InitCore: failed to initialize importlib`
Or similar once our build got to an "invoke the interpreter"
bootstrapping step due to incorrect bytecode being embedded.
The "Check if generated files are up to date" job of GitHub Actions
now runs the "autoreconf -ivf -Werror" command instead of the "make
regen-configure" command to avoid depending on the external quay.io
server.
Add Tools/build/regen-configure.sh script to regenerate the configure
with an Ubuntu container image. The
"quay.io/tiran/cpython_autoconf:271" container image
(https://github.com/tiran/cpython_autoconf) is no longer used.
This avoids:
python3.13 Tools/unicode/makeunicodedata.py
python3.13: can't open file '.../build/debug/Tools/unicode/makeunicodedata.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory
make: *** [Makefile:1498: regen-unicodedata] Error 2
Re-run `make regen-unicodedata` to update the script path in generated files.
Build the _multiprocessing.posixshmem extension with the Limited C
API.
* Add <errno.h> include.
* Replace PyUnicode_AsUTF8() with PyUnicode_AsUTF8AndSize().
* Replace PyStructSequence_SET_ITEM() with
PyStructSequence_SetItem().
* Replace PyTuple_GET_SIZE() with PyTuple_Size().
* Replace PyTuple_GET_ITEM() with PyTuple_GetItem().
Fix building the _testcapi extension on Linux AArch64 which requires
linking to libatomic when <cpython/pyatomic.h> is used: the
_Py_atomic_or_uint64() function requires libatomic
__atomic_fetch_or_8() on this platform.
The configure script now checks if linking to libatomic is needed and
generates a new LIBATOMIC variable used to build the _testcapi
extension.
Building the _testcapi extension now uses the LIBATOMIC variable in
its LDFLAGS, since Modules/_testcapi/pyatomic.c uses
<cpython/pyatomic.h>.

Fix a race condition in "make regen-all". The deepfreeze.c source and
files generated by Argument Clinic are now generated or updated
before generating "global objects". Previously, some identifiers may
miss depending on the order in which these files were generated.
* "make regen-global-objects": Make sure that deepfreeze.c is
generated and up to date, and always run "make clinic".
* "make clinic" no longer runs generate_global_objects.py script.
* "make regen-deepfreeze" now only updates deepfreeze.c (C file).
It doesn't build deepfreeze.o (object) anymore.
* Remove misleading messages in "make regen-global-objects" and
"make clinic". They are now outdated, these commands are now
safe to use.
* Document generates files in Doc/using/configure.rst.

Python built with "configure --with-trace-refs" (tracing references)
is now ABI compatible with Python release build and debug build.
Moreover, it now also supports the Limited API.
Change Py_TRACE_REFS build:
* Remove _PyObject_EXTRA_INIT macro.
* The PyObject structure no longer has two extra members (_ob_prev
and _ob_next).
* Use a hash table (_Py_hashtable_t) to trace references (all
objects): PyInterpreterState.object_state.refchain.
* Py_TRACE_REFS build is now ABI compatible with release build and
debug build.
* Limited C API extensions can now be built with Py_TRACE_REFS:
xxlimited, xxlimited_35, _testclinic_limited.
* No longer rename PyModule_Create2() and PyModule_FromDefAndSpec2()
functions to PyModule_Create2TraceRefs() and
PyModule_FromDefAndSpec2TraceRefs().
* _Py_PrintReferenceAddresses() is now called before
finalize_interp_delete() which deletes the refchain hash table.
* test_tracemalloc find_trace() now also filters by size to ignore
the memory allocated by _PyRefchain_Trace().
Test changes for Py_TRACE_REFS:
* Add test.support.Py_TRACE_REFS constant.
* Add test_sys.test_getobjects() to test sys.getobjects() function.
* test_exceptions skips test_recursion_normalizing_with_no_memory()
and test_memory_error_in_PyErr_PrintEx() if Python is built with
Py_TRACE_REFS.
* test_repl skips test_no_memory().
* test_capi skisp test_set_nomemory().
