To embed Python into an application, a new --embed option must be
passed to "python3-config --libs --embed" to get "-lpython3.8" (link
the application to libpython). To support both 3.8 and older, try
"python3-config --libs --embed" first and fallback to "python3-config
--libs" (without --embed) if the previous command fails.
Add a pkg-config "python-3.8-embed" module to embed Python into an
application: "pkg-config python-3.8-embed --libs" includes
"-lpython3.8". To support both 3.8 and older, try "pkg-config
python-X.Y-embed --libs" first and fallback to "pkg-config python-X.Y
--libs" (without --embed) if the previous command fails (replace
"X.Y" with the Python version).
On the other hand, "pkg-config python3.8 --libs" no longer contains
"-lpython3.8". C extensions must not be linked to libpython (except
on Android, case handled by the script); this change is backward
incompatible on purpose.
"make install" now also installs "python-3.8-embed.pc".
* Include C14N 2.0 test data in installation.
* Add README file to the C14N test data directory to reference the original source and licensing conditions.
On Unix, C extensions are no longer linked to libpython.
It is now possible to load a C extension built using a shared library
Python with a statically linked Python.
When Python is embedded, libpython must not be loaded with
RTLD_LOCAL, but RTLD_GLOBAL instead. Previously, using RTLD_LOCAL, it
was already not possible to load C extensions which were not linked
to libpython, like C extensions of the standard library built by the
"*shared*" section of Modules/Setup.
distutils, python-config and python-config.py have been modified.
Now that the parser generator is written in Python (Parser/pgen) we can make use of it to regenerate the Lib/keyword file that contains the language keywords instead of parsing the autogenerated grammar files. This also allows checking in the CI that the autogenerated files are up to date.

Pgen is the oldest piece of technology in the CPython repository, building it requires various #if[n]def PGEN hacks in other parts of the code and it also depends more and more on CPython internals. This commit removes the old pgen C code and replaces it for a new version implemented in pure Python. This is a modified and adapted version of lib2to3/pgen2 that can generate grammar files compatibles with the current parser.
This commit also eliminates all the #ifdef and code branches related to pgen, simplifying the code and making it more maintainable. The regen-grammar step now uses $(PYTHON_FOR_REGEN) that can be any version of the interpreter, so the new pgen code maintains compatibility with older versions of the interpreter (this also allows regenerating the grammar with the current CI solution that uses Python3.5). The new pgen Python module also makes use of the Grammar/Tokens file that holds the token specification, so is always kept in sync and avoids having to maintain duplicate token definitions.
The whole coreconfig.h header is now excluded from Py_LIMITED_API.
Move functions definitions into a new internal pycore_coreconfig.h
header.
* Move Include/coreconfig.h to Include/cpython/coreconfig.h
* coreconfig.h header is now excluded from Py_LIMITED_API
* Move functions to pycore_coreconfig.h
`BLDSHARED` needs to have both `LDFLAGS` and `LDFLAGS_NODIST`, not just `LDFLAGS_NODIST`; `PY_CORE_LDFLAGS` provides both. For example, as it stands now with just `LDFLAGS_NODIST`, macOS universal builds are broken as the necessary `-arch` flags are no longer passed to the standard library extension module link step from `setup.py` resulting in extension modules being single architecture only.
https://bugs.python.org/issue35257
"Include/token.h", "Lib/token.py" (containing now some data moved from
"Lib/tokenize.py") and new files "Parser/token.c" (containing the code
moved from "Parser/tokenizer.c") and "Doc/library/token-list.inc" (included
in "Doc/library/token.rst") are now generated from "Grammar/Tokens" by
"Tools/scripts/generate_token.py". The script overwrites files only if
needed and can be used on the read-only sources tree.
"Lib/symbol.py" is now generated by "Tools/scripts/generate_symbol_py.py"
instead of been executable itself.
Added new make targets "regen-token" and "regen-symbol" which are now
dependencies of "regen-all".
The documentation contains now strings for operators and punctuation tokens.
When compiling 3rd party C extensions, the linker flags used by the
compiler for the interpreter and the stdlib modules, will get
leaked into distutils. In order to avoid that, the PY_CORE_LDFLAGS
and PY_LDFLAGS_NODIST are introduced to keep those flags separated.
"make profile-opt" no longer replaces CFLAGS_NODIST with CFLAGS. It
now adds profile-guided optimization (PGO) flags to CFLAGS_NODIST,
existing CFLAGS_NODIST flags are kept.
Move tupleobject.h code surrounded by "#ifndef Py_LIMITED_API"
to a new Include/cpython/tupleobject.h header file.
Add cpython/ header files to Makefile.pre.in and pythoncore project
of PCbuild.
Include/*.h should be the "portable Python API", whereas
Include/cpython/*.h should be the "CPython API": CPython
implementation details.
Changes:
* Create Include/cpython/ subdirectory
* "make install" now creates $prefix/include/cpython and copy
Include/cpython/* to $prefix/include/cpython
* Create Include/cpython/objimpl.h: move objimpl.h code
surrounded by "#ifndef Py_LIMITED_API" to cpython/objimpl.h.
* objimpl.h now includes cpython/objimpl.h
* Windows installer (MSI) now also install Include/ subdirectories:
Include/cpython/ and Include/internal/.
* And pycore_lifecycle.h and pycore_pathconfig.h headers to
Include/internal/
* Move Py_BUILD_CORE specific code from coreconfig.h and
pylifecycle.h to pycore_pathconfig.h and pycore_lifecycle.h
* Move _Py_wstrlist_XXX() definitions and _PyPathConfig code
from pycore_state.h to pycore_pathconfig.h
* Move "Init" and "Fini" function definitions from pylifecycle.c to
pycore_lifecycle.h.
The accu.h header is no longer part of the Python C API: it has been
moved to the "internal" headers which are restricted to Python
itself.
Replace #include "accu.h" with #include "pycore_accu.h".
* Modify object.h to ensure that pymem.h is included,
to get _Py_tracemalloc_config variable.
* Move _PyTraceMalloc_XXX() functions to tracemalloc.h,
they need PyObject type. Break circular dependency between pymem.h
and object.h.
* Add Include/coreconfig.h
* Move config_*() and _PyCoreConfig_*() functions from Modules/main.c
to a new Python/coreconfig.c file.
* Inline _Py_ReadHashSeed() into config_init_hash_seed()
* Move global configuration variables to coreconfig.c
bpo-32430: Rename Modules/Setup.dist to Modules/Setup
Remove the necessity to copy the former manually to the latter when updating the local source tree.
Setup modules are no longer built with -DPy_BUILD_CORE by default,
as using that flag may now require including additional internal-only header files.
Instead, only the modules that specifically need it use that setting.
* Document `from __future__ import annotations`
* Provide plumbing and tests for `from __future__ import annotations`
* Implement unparsing the AST back to string form
This is required for PEP 563 and as such only implements a part of the
unparsing process that covers expressions.
Add https://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf-archive/ax_check_openssl.html
to auto-detect compiler flags, linker flags and libraries to compile
OpenSSL extensions. The M4 macro uses pkg-config and falls back to
manual detection.
Add autoconf magic to detect usable X509_VERIFY_PARAM_set1_host()
and related functions.
Refactor setup.py to use new config vars to compile _ssl and _hashlib
modules.

* Factorize code from PC/getpathp.c and Modules/getpath.c to remove
duplicated code
* rename pathconfig_clear() to _PyPathConfig_Clear()
* Inline _PyPathConfig_Fini() in pymain_impl() and then remove it,
since it's a oneliner
bpo-32096, bpo-30860: Partially revert the commit
2ebc5ce42a8a9e047e790aefbf9a94811569b2b6:
* Move structures back from Include/internal/mem.h to
Objects/obmalloc.c
* Remove _PyObject_Initialize() and _PyMem_Initialize()
* Remove Include/internal/pymalloc.h
* Add test_capi.test_pre_initialization_api():
Make sure that it's possible to call Py_DecodeLocale(), and then call
Py_SetProgramName() with the decoded string, before Py_Initialize().
PyMem_RawMalloc() and Py_DecodeLocale() can be called again before
_PyRuntimeState_Init().

* bpo-28643: Record profile-opt build progress with stamp files
The profile-opt makefile target is expensive to build. Since the
makefile does not contain complete dependency information for this
target, much extra work can get done if the build is interrupted and
re-started. Even running "make" a second time will result in a huge
amount of redundant work.
As a minimal fix (rather than removing recursive "make" and adding a
proper dependency graph), split the profile-opt target into parts:
- ensure tree is clean (profile-clean-stamp)
- build with profile generation enabled (profile-gen-stamp)
- run task to generate profile information (profile-run-stamp)
- build optimized Python using above information (profile-opt)
We use "stamp" files to record completion of the steps. Running
"make clean" will not remove the profile-run-stamp file.
Other minor changes:
- remove the "build_all_use_profile" target. I don't expect callers
of the makefile to use this target so that should be safe.
- remove execution of "profile-removal" at end of "profile-opt". I
don't see any reason to not to keep the profile information, given
the cost to generate it. Removing the "profile-run-stamp" file
will force re-generation of it.
* Add Tools/scripts/smelly.py: script checking if all symbols
exported by libpython start with "Py" or "_Py".
* Modify "make smelly" to run smelly.py: the command now fails with a
non-zero exit code if libpython leaks a "smelly" symbol.
* Travis CI now runs "make smelly"
Allow configure --with-lto to apply to all builds, not just profile-opt builds.
Whether this is actually useful or not must be determined by the person
building CPython using their own toolchain.
My own quick test on x86_64 Debian 9 (gcc 6.3, binutils 2.28) seemed
to suggest that it wasn't, but I expect better toolchains can or will exist
at some point. The point is to allow it at all.
* group the (stateful) runtime globals into various topical structs
* consolidate the topical structs under a single top-level _PyRuntimeState struct
* add a check-c-globals.py script that helps identify runtime globals
Other globals are excluded (see globals.txt and check-c-globals.py).

PEP 432 specifies a number of large changes to interpreter startup code, including exposing a cleaner C-API. The major changes depend on a number of smaller changes. This patch includes all those smaller changes.
* bpo-29243: Fix Makefile with respect to --enable-optimizations
When using the Profile Guided Optimization (./configure --enable-optimizations)
Python is built not only during `make` but rebuilt again during `make test`,
`make install` and others. This patch fixes the issue.
Note that this fix produces no change at all in the Makefile if configure is
run witout --enable-optimizations.
* !squash
Don't rebuild generated files based on file modification time
anymore, the action is now explicit. Replace "make touch"
with "make regen-all".
Changes:
* Remove "make touch", Tools/hg/hgtouch.py and .hgtouch
* Add a new "make regen-all" command to rebuild all generated files
* Add subcommands to only generate specific files:
- regen-ast: Include/Python-ast.h and Python/Python-ast.c
- regen-grammar: Include/graminit.h and Python/graminit.c
- regen-importlib: Python/importlib_external.h and Python/importlib.h
- regen-opcode: Include/opcode.h
- regen-opcode-targets: Python/opcode_targets.h
- regen-typeslots: Objects/typeslots.inc
* Rename PYTHON_FOR_GEN to PYTHON_FOR_REGEN
* pgen is now only built by by "make regen-grammar"
* Add $(srcdir)/ prefix to paths to source files to handle correctly
compilation outside the source directory
Note: $(PYTHON_FOR_REGEN) is no more used nor needed by "make"
default target building Python.
* Fix `make tags` warnings
`make tags` target tries to find C sources and headers in "Grammar" and
"Mac" folders and generates these warnings:
ctags: Warning: cannot open source file "Grammar/*.[ch]" : No such file or directory
ctags: Warning: cannot open source file "Mac/*.[ch]" : No such file or directory
This commit changes $SRCDIRS variable in configure.ac to remote these
directories. This variable is used only for tags generation.
Also, "configure" was regenerated with `autoreconf`.
* Fix `make tags` fail on non-default tag names
When ctags overrides default tags filename (e.g. `-f .tags`) `make tags`
is failed because it assumes to see default `tags` filename:
sort: cannot read: tags: No such file or directory
This commit explicitly specifies "tags" filename for tags generation.
sys.version and the platform module python_build(),
python_branch(), and python_revision() functions now use
git information rather than hg when building from a repo.
Based on original patches by Brett Cannon and Steve Dower.
* Move all functions to call objects in a new Objects/call.c file.
* Rename fast_function() to _PyFunction_FastCallKeywords().
* Copy null_error() from Objects/abstract.c
* Inline type_error() in call.c to not have to copy it, it was only

* Export _PyEval_EvalCodeWithName() since it is now called
from call.c.

Gnu Make treats comments in a list of commands as shell comments (not
makefile comments), and reports them as shell commands. The space separating
the @ and # symbols helps syntax highlighting.
It seems like at least 2 buildbots need more than 15 minutes per test file.
Example with "AMD64 Snow Leop 3.x":
10 slowest tests:
- test_tools: 14 min 40 sec
- test_tokenize: 11 min 57 sec
- test_datetime: 11 min 25 sec
- ...
Tested on macOS 10.11 dtrace, Ubuntu 16.04 SystemTap, and libbcc.
Largely based by an initial patch by Jesús Cea Avión, with some
influence from Dave Malcolm's SystemTap patch and Nikhil Benesch's
unification patch.
Things deliberately left out for simplicity:
- ustack helpers, I have no way of testing them at this point since
they are Solaris-specific
- PyFrameObject * in function__entry/function__return, this is
SystemTap-specific
- SPARC support
- dynamic tracing
- sys module dtrace facility introspection
All of those might be added later.
test_tools is pretty much useless unless somebody copies the scripts
it tests into the proper location, but we might as well install it
anyway to make sure it skips properly. test_warnings just didn't get
included when it was turned into a package in 94966dfd3bd3.
* Memove -t option of ctags. The option was kept for backward compatibility,
but it was completly removed recently. Patch written by Stéphane Wirtel.

LC_ALL=C to force english sorting order. .
vim expects that the tags file is sorted using english collation, so it fails

The dependendency on the $(PGEN) variable must only be
set when not cross-compiling. When cross-compiling,
$(PGEN) will not be used, so no need to build it.

plat-$(PLATFORM_TRIPLET).
Rename the config directory (LIBPL) from config-$(LDVERSION) to
config-$(LDVERSION)-$(PLATFORM_TRIPLET).
Install the platform specifc _sysconfigdata module into the platform

The whole test suite takes 6 minutes on my laptop. It takes less than 30
minutes on most buildbots. The TESTTIMEOUT is the timeout for a single test
file.
Since PGO building doesn't care about test failures, silence them when
running the test suite for performance reasons. Initial patch by
Alecsandru Patrascu of Intel.
The concept of .pyo files no longer exists. Now .pyc files have an
optional `opt-` tag which specifies if any extra optimizations beyond
the peepholer were applied.
