Rewrote binarysort() for clarity.
Also changed the signature to be more coherent (it was mixing sortslice with raw pointers).
No change in method or functionality. However, I left some experiments in, disabled for now
via `#if` tricks. Since this code was first written, some kinds of comparisons have gotten
enormously faster (like for lists of floats), which changes the tradeoffs.
For example, plain insertion sort's simpler innermost loop and highly predictable branches
leave it very competitive (even beating, by a bit) binary insertion when comparisons are
very cheap, despite that it can do many more compares. And it wins big on runs that
are already sorted (moving the next one in takes only 1 compare then).
So I left code for a plain insertion sort, to make future experimenting easier.
Also made the maximum value of minrun a `#define` (``MAX_MINRUN`) to make
experimenting with that easier too.
And another bit of `#if``-disabled code rewrites binary insertion's innermost loop to
remove its unpredictable branch. Surprisingly, this doesn't really seem to help
overall. I'm unclear on why not. It certainly adds more instructions, but they're very
simple, and it's hard to be believe they cost as much as a branch miss.
When I added _PyInterpreterState_IsRunningMain() and friends last year, I tried to accommodate applications that embed Python but don't call _PyInterpreterState_SetRunningMain() (not that they're expected to). That mostly worked fine until my recent changes in gh-117049, where the subtleties with the fallback code led to failures; the change ended up breaking test_tools.test_freeze, which exercises a basic embedding situation.
The simplest fix is to drop the fallback code I originally added to _PyInterpreterState_IsRunningMain() (and later to _PyThreadState_IsRunningMain()). I've kept the fallback in the _xxsubinterpreters module though. I've also updated Py_FrozenMain() to call _PyInterpreterState_SetRunningMain().
Changes to the function version cache:
- In addition to the function object, also store the code object,
and allow the latter to be retrieved even if the function has been evicted.
- Stop assigning new function versions after a critical attribute (e.g. `__code__`)
has been modified; the version is permanently reset to zero in this case.
- Changes to `__annotations__` are no longer considered critical. (This fixes gh-109998.)
Changes to the Tier 2 optimization machinery:
- If we cannot map a function version to a function, but it is still mapped to a code object,
we continue projecting the trace.
The operand of the `_PUSH_FRAME` and `_POP_FRAME` opcodes can be either NULL,
a function object, or a code object with the lowest bit set.
This allows us to trace through code that calls an ephemeral function,
i.e., a function that may not be alive when we are constructing the executor,
e.g. a generator expression or certain nested functions.
We will lose globals removal inside such functions,
but we can still do other peephole operations
(and even possibly [call inlining](https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/116290),
if we decide to do it), which only need the code object.
As before, if we cannot retrieve the code object from the cache, we stop projecting.
Split `_PyThreadState_DeleteExcept` into two functions:
- `_PyThreadState_RemoveExcept` removes all thread states other than one
passed as an argument. It returns the removed thread states as a
linked list.
- `_PyThreadState_DeleteList` deletes those dead thread states. It may
call destructors, so we want to "start the world" before calling
`_PyThreadState_DeleteList` to avoid potential deadlocks.
I added it quite a while ago as a strategy for managing interpreter lifetimes relative to the PEP 554 (now 734) implementation. Relatively recently I refactored that implementation to no longer rely on InterpreterID objects. Thus now I'm removing it.
Add Py_GetConstant() and Py_GetConstantBorrowed() functions.
In the limited C API version 3.13, getting Py_None, Py_False,
Py_True, Py_Ellipsis and Py_NotImplemented singletons is now
implemented as function calls at the stable ABI level to hide
implementation details. Getting these constants still return borrowed
references.
Add _testlimitedcapi/object.c and test_capi/test_object.py to test
Py_GetConstant() and Py_GetConstantBorrowed() functions.
Mostly we unify the two different implementations of the conversion code (from PyObject * to int64_t. We also drop the PyArg_ParseTuple()-style converter function, as well as rename and move PyInterpreterID_LookUp().
This changes the free-threaded build to perform a stop-the-world pause
before deleting other thread states when forking and during shutdown.
This fixes some crashes when using multiprocessing and during shutdown
when running with `PYTHON_GIL=0`.
This also changes `PyOS_BeforeFork` to acquire the runtime lock
(i.e., `HEAD_LOCK(&_PyRuntime)`) before forking to ensure that data
protected by the runtime lock (and not just the GIL or stop-the-world)
is in a consistent state before forking.
* Ensure importlib.metadata tests do not leak references in sys.modules.
* Move importlib.metadata tests to their own package for easier syncing with importlib_metadata.
* Update owners and makefile for new directories.
* Add blurb
Before this change, ctypes classes used a custom dict subclass, `StgDict`,
as their `tp_dict`. This acts like a regular dict but also includes extra information
about the type.
This replaces stgdict by `StgInfo`, a C struct on the type, accessed by
`PyObject_GetTypeData()` (PEP-697).
All usage of `StgDict` (mainly variables named `stgdict`, `dict`, `edict` etc.) is
converted to `StgInfo` (named `stginfo`, `info`, `einfo`, etc.).
Where the dict is actually used for class attributes (as a regular PyDict), it's now
called `attrdict`.
This change -- not overriding `tp_dict` -- is made to make me comfortable with
the next part of this PR: moving the initialization logic from `tp_new` to `tp_init`.
The `StgInfo` is set up in `__init__` of each class, with a guard that prevents
calling `__init__` more than once. Note that abstract classes (like `Array` or
`Structure`) are created using `PyType_FromMetaclass` and do not have
`__init__` called.
Previously, this was done in `__new__`, which also wasn't called for abstract
classes.
Since `__init__` can be called from Python code or skipped, there is a tested
guard to ensure `StgInfo` is initialized exactly once before it's used.

These writes to `pending->calls_to_do` need to be atomic, because other threads
can read (atomically) from `calls_to_do` without holding `pending->mutex`.
Starting in Python 3.12, we prevented calling fork() and starting new threads
during interpreter finalization (shutdown). This has led to a number of
regressions and flaky tests. We should not prevent starting new threads
(or `fork()`) until all non-daemon threads exit and finalization starts in
earnest.
This changes the checks to use `_PyInterpreterState_GetFinalizing(interp)`,
which is set immediately before terminating non-daemon threads.
