This PR adds the ability to enable the GIL if it was disabled at
interpreter startup, and modifies the multi-phase module initialization
path to enable the GIL when loading a module, unless that module's spec
includes a slot indicating it can run safely without the GIL.
PEP 703 called the constant for the slot `Py_mod_gil_not_used`; I went
with `Py_MOD_GIL_NOT_USED` for consistency with gh-104148.
A warning will be issued up to once per interpreter for the first
GIL-using module that is loaded. If `-v` is given, a shorter message
will be printed to stderr every time a GIL-using module is loaded
(including the first one that issues a warning).
Python.h no longer includes <time.h>, <sys/select.h> and <sys/time.h>
standard header files.
* Add <time.h> include to xxsubtype.c.
* Add <sys/time.h> include to posixmodule.c and semaphore.c.
* readline.c includes <sys/select.h> instead of <sys/time.h>.
* resource.c no longer includes <time.h> and <sys/time.h>.
Here we are doing no more than adding the value for Py_mod_multiple_interpreters and using it for stdlib modules. We will start checking for it in gh-104206 (once PyInterpreterState.ceval.own_gil is added in gh-104204).
Replace "(PyCFunction)(void(*)(void))func" cast with

Fix invalid function cast warnings with gcc 8

METH_VARARGS excluding Argument Clinic generated code.
Known limitations of the current implementation:
- documentation changes are incomplete
- there's a reference leak I haven't tracked down yet
The leak is most visible by running:
./python -m test -R3:3 test_importlib
However, you can also see it by running:
./python -X showrefcount
Importing the array or _testmultiphase modules, and
then deleting them from both sys.modules and the local
namespace shows significant increases in the total
number of active references each cycle. By contrast,
with _testcapi (which continues to use single-phase
initialisation) the global refcounts stabilise after
a couple of cycles.
number of tests, all because of the codecs/_multibytecodecs issue described
here (it's not a Py3K issue, just something Py3K discovers):
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2006-April/064051.html
Hye-Shik Chang promised to look for a fix, so no need to fix it here. The
tests that are expected to break are:
test_codecencodings_cn
test_codecencodings_hk
test_codecencodings_jp
test_codecencodings_kr
test_codecencodings_tw
test_codecs
test_multibytecodec
This merge fixes an actual test failure (test_weakref) in this branch,
though, so I believe merging is the right thing to do anyway.
The staticforward define was needed to support certain broken C
compilers (notably SCO ODT 3.0, perhaps early AIX as well) botched the
static keyword when it was used with a forward declaration of a static
initialized structure. Standard C allows the forward declaration with
static, and we've decided to stop catering to broken C compilers. (In
fact, we expect that the compilers are all fixed eight years later.)
I'm leaving staticforward and statichere defined in object.h as
static. This is only for backwards compatibility with C extensions
that might still use it.
XXX I haven't updated the documentation.
got a barrage of compile errors that didn't make sense to the C++ brain:
MSVC does not allow C (but does allow C++) initializers to contain
data addresses supplied by other DLLs. So changed the initializers here
to use dummy nulls, and changed module init to plug in the foreign
addresses at runtime (manually simulating what C++ does by magic). Tested
on Windows, and Guido tested on Linux (thanks!). BTW, the *point* is that
people are going to use this module as a template for writing their own
subtypes, and it's unusual for extension authors to build their extensions
into Python directly (separate DLLs are the norm on Windows); so it's
better if we give them a template that works <wink>.
no backwards compatibility to worry about, so I just pushed the
'closure' struct member to the back -- it's never used in the current
code base (I may eliminate it, but that's more work because the getter
and setter signatures would have to change.)
As examples, I added actual docstrings to the getset attributes of a
few types: file.closed, xxsubtype.spamdict.state.
compatibility, this required all places where an array of "struct
memberlist" structures was declared that is referenced from a type's
tp_members slot to change the type of the structure to PyMemberDef;
"struct memberlist" is now only used by old code that still calls
PyMember_Get/Set. The code in PyObject_GenericGetAttr/SetAttr now
calls the new APIs PyMember_GetOne/SetOne, which take a PyMemberDef
argument.
As examples, I added actual docstrings to the attributes of a few
types: file, complex, instance method, super, and xxsubtype.spamlist.
Also converted the symtable to new style getattr.
- Add an explicit call to PyType_Ready(&PyList_Type) to pythonrun.c
(just for the heck of it, really -- we should either explicitly
ready all types, or none).
