bpo-37834: Normalise handling of reparse points on Windows
* ntpath.realpath() and nt.stat() will traverse all supported reparse points (previously was mixed)
* nt.lstat() will let the OS traverse reparse points that are not name surrogates (previously would not traverse any reparse point)
* nt.[l]stat() will only set S_IFLNK for symlinks (previous behaviour)
* nt.readlink() will read destinations for symlinks and junction points only
bpo-1311: os.path.exists('nul') now returns True on Windows
* nt.stat('nul').st_mode is now S_IFCHR (previously was an error)
The os.getcwdb() function now uses the UTF-8 encoding on Windows,
rather than the ANSI code page: see PEP 529 for the rationale. The
function is no longer deprecated on Windows.
os.getcwd() and os.getcwdb() now detect integer overflow on memory
allocations. On Unix, these functions properly report MemoryError on
memory allocation failure.
Python now gets the absolute path of the script filename specified on
the command line (ex: "python3 script.py"): the __file__ attribute of
the __main__ module, sys.argv[0] and sys.path[0] become an absolute
path, rather than a relative path.
* Add _Py_isabs() and _Py_abspath() functions.
* _PyConfig_Read() now tries to get the absolute path of
run_filename, but keeps the relative path if _Py_abspath() fails.
* Reimplement os._getfullpathname() using _Py_abspath().
* Use _Py_isabs() in getpath.c.
* 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.
It is now allowed to add new fields at the end of the PyTypeObject struct without having to allocate a dedicated compatibility flag in tp_flags.
This will reduce the risk of running out of bits in the 32-bit tp_flags value.
* bpo-26836: Add os.memfd_create()
* Use the glibc wrapper for memfd_create()
Co-Authored-By: Christian Heimes <christian@python.org>
* Fix deletions caused by autoreconf.
* Use MFD_CLOEXEC as the default value for *flags*.
* Add memset_s to configure.ac.
* Revert memset_s changes.
* Apply the requested changes.
* Tweak the docs.
PyOS_AfterFork_Child(): _PyInterpreterState_DeleteExceptMain() must
be called after _PyRuntimeState_ReInitThreads().
_PyRuntimeState_ReInitThreads() resets interpreters mutex after fork,
mutex used by _PyInterpreterState_DeleteExceptMain().
Remove the PyEval_ReInitThreads() function from the Python C API.
It should not be called explicitly: use PyOS_AfterFork_Child()
instead.
Rename PyEval_ReInitThreads() to _PyEval_ReInitThreads() and add a
'runtime' parameter.
The PyOS_AfterFork_Child() function now pass a 'runtime' parameter to
subfunctions.
* Fix _PyRuntimeState_ReInitThreads(): use the correct memory allocator
* Add runtime parameter to _PyRuntimeState_ReInitThreads(),
_PyGILState_Reinit() and _PyInterpreterState_DeleteExceptMain()
* Move _PyGILState_Reinit() to the internal C API.
The error message emitted when returning invalid types from __fspath__ in interfaces that allow passing PathLike objects has been improved and now it does explain the origin of the error.
LoadLibrary, GetProcAddress, FreeLibrary and GetModuleHandle acquire the system loader lock. Calling these while holding the GIL will cause a deadlock on the rare occasion that another thread is detaching and needs to destroy its thread state at the same time.
Fix invalid function cast warnings with gcc 8
for method conventions different from METH_NOARGS, METH_O and
METH_VARARGS excluding Argument Clinic generated code.
os_read_impl() now also truncates the size to _PY_READ_MAX
on macOS, to avoid to allocate a larger buffer even if _Py_read() is
limited to _PY_READ_MAX bytes (ex: INT_MAX on macOS).
Some methods in the os module can accept path-like objects. This is documented in the general documentation but not in the function docstrings. To keep both in sync, the docstrings need to be updated to reflect that path-like objects are also accepted.
path_error() uses GetLastError() on Windows, but some os functions
are implemented via CRT APIs which report errors via errno.
This may result in raising OSError with invalid error code (such
as zero).
Introduce posix_path_error() function and use it where appropriate.
