Change "clean" makefile target to also clean the program guided
optimization (PGO) data. Previously you would have to use "make
clean" and "make profile-removal", or "make clobber".
Reduce the number of unit tests run for the PGO generation task. This
speeds up the task by a factor of about 15x. Running the full unit test
suite is slow. This change may result in a slightly less optimized build
since not as many code branches will be executed. If you are willing to
wait for the much slower build, the old behavior can be restored using
'./configure [..] PROFILE_TASK="-m test --pgo-extended"'. We make no
guarantees as to which PGO task set produces a faster build. Users who
care should run their own relevant benchmarks as results can depend on
the environment, workload, and compiler tool chain.
* regrtest: Add --cleanup option to remove "test_python_*" directories
of previous failed test jobs.
* Add "make cleantest" to run "python3 -m test --cleanup".
* Add Include/cpython/import.h and Include/internal/pycore_import.h
header files.
* Move _PyImport_ReInitLock() to the internal C API. Don't export the
symbol anymore.
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.

This reverts commit bda918bf65.
* Revert "bpo-33608: Use _Py_AddPendingCall() in _PyCrossInterpreterData_Release(). (gh-12024)"
This reverts commit b05b711a2c.
* Revert "bpo-33608: Factor out a private, per-interpreter _Py_AddPendingCall(). (GH-11617)"
This reverts commit ef4ac967e2.
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.

"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/.
