Omit serialno field from debug hooks on Python memory allocators to
reduce the memory footprint by 5%.
Enable tracemalloc to get the traceback where a memory block has been
allocated when a fatal memory error is logged to decide where to put
a breakpoint.
Compile Python with PYMEM_DEBUG_SERIALNO defined to get back the
field.
This is effectively an un-revert of #11617 and #12024 (reverted in #12159). Portions of those were merged in other PRs (with lower risk) and this represents the remainder. Note that I found 3 different bugs in the original PRs and have fixed them here.
Modify CLEANBYTE, DEADDYTE and FORBIDDENBYTE constants: use 0xCD,
0xDD and 0xFD, rather than 0xCB, 0xBB and 0xFB, to use the same byte
patterns than Windows CRT debug malloc() and free().
Replace _PyMem_IsFreed() function with _PyMem_IsPtrFreed() inline
function. The function is now way more efficient, it became a simple
comparison on integers, rather than a short loop. It detects also
uninitialized bytes and "forbidden bytes" filled by debug hooks
on memory allocators.
Add unit tests on _PyObject_IsFreed().
If tracemalloc is not tracing Python memory allocations,
_PyMem_DumpTraceback() now suggests to enable tracemalloc
to get the traceback where the memory block has been allocated.
* Add Py_STATIC_INLINE() macro to declare a "static inline" function.
If the compiler supports it, try to always inline the function even if no
optimization level was specified.
* Modify pydtrace.h to use Py_STATIC_INLINE() when WITH_DTRACE is
not defined.
* Add an unit test on Py_DECREF() to make sure that
_Py_NegativeRefcount() reports the correct filename.
* Fix _PyMem_SetupAllocators("debug"): always restore allocators to
the defaults, rather than only caling _PyMem_SetupDebugHooks().
* Add _PyMem_SetDefaultAllocator() helper to set the "default"
allocator.
* Add _PyMem_GetAllocatorsName(): get the name of the allocators
* main() now uses debug hooks on memory allocators if Py_DEBUG is
defined, rather than calling directly malloc()
* Document default memory allocators in C API documentation
* _Py_InitializeCore() now fails with a fatal user error if
PYTHONMALLOC value is an unknown memory allocator, instead of
failing with a fatal internal error.
* Add new tests on the PYTHONMALLOC environment variable
* Add support.with_pymalloc()
* Add the _testcapi.WITH_PYMALLOC constant and expose it as
support.with_pymalloc().
* sysconfig.get_config_var('WITH_PYMALLOC') doesn't work on Windows, so
replace it with support.with_pymalloc().
* pythoninfo: add _testcapi collector for pymem
Some parts of the C API are only relevant to larger
applications embedding CPython as a runtime engine.
The helpers to test those APIs are already separated
out into Programs/_testembed.c, this update moves
the associated test cases out into their own dedicated
test file.
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().

Don't run Python in an empty environment, but copy the current
environment and set PYTHONIOENCODING. So the test works also on
Python compiled in shared mode (using libpython).
- new PYTHONCOERCECLOCALE config setting
- coerces legacy C locale to C.UTF-8, C.utf8 or UTF-8 by default
- always uses C.UTF-8 on Android
- uses `surrogateescape` on stdin and stdout in the coercion
target locales
- configure option to disable locale coercion at build time
- configure option to disable C locale warning at build time
new exception with setting current exception as __cause__.
_PyErr_FormatFromCause(exception, format, args...) is equivalent to Python
raise exception(format % args) from sys.exc_info()[1]
Issue #26563: Debug hooks on Python memory allocators now raise a fatal error
if functions of the PyMem_Malloc() family are called without holding the GIL.
Issue #26516:
* Add PYTHONMALLOC environment variable to set the Python memory
allocators and/or install debug hooks.
* PyMem_SetupDebugHooks() can now also be used on Python compiled in release
mode.
* The PYTHONMALLOCSTATS environment variable can now also be used on Python
compiled in release mode. It now has no effect if set to an empty string.
* In debug mode, debug hooks are now also installed on Python memory allocators
when Python is configured without pymalloc.
