There were a still a number of gaps in the tests, including not looking
at all the builtin types and not checking wrappers in subinterpreters
that weren't in the main interpreter. This fixes all that.
I considered incorporating the names of the PyTypeObject fields
(a la gh-122866), but figured doing so doesn't add much value.
The tests were only checking cases where the slot wrapper was present in the initial case. They were missing when the slot wrapper was added in the additional initializations. This fixes that.
Any cross-interpreter mechanism for passing objects between interpreters must be very careful to respect isolation, even when the object is effectively immutable (e.g. int, str). Here this especially relates to when an interpreter sends one of its objects, and then is destroyed while the inter-interpreter machinery (e.g. queue) still holds a reference to the object.
When I added interpreters.Queue, I dealt with that case (using an atexit hook) by silently removing all items from the queue that were added by the finalizing interpreter.
Later, while working on concurrent.futures.InterpreterPoolExecutor (gh-116430), I noticed it was somewhat surprising when items were silently removed from the queue when the originating interpreter was destroyed. (See my comment on that PR.)
It took me a little while to realize what was going on. I expect that users, which much less context than I have, would experience the same pain.
My approach, here, to improving the situation is to give users three options:
1. return a singleton (interpreters.queues.UNBOUND) from Queue.get() in place of each removed item
2. raise an exception (interpreters.queues.ItemInterpreterDestroyed) from Queue.get() in place of each removed item
3. existing behavior: silently remove each item (i.e. Queue.get() skips each one)
The default will now be (1), but users can still explicitly opt in any of them, including to the silent removal behavior.
The behavior for each item may be set with the corresponding Queue.put() call. and a queue-wide default may be set when the queue is created. (This is the same as I did for "synconly".)
* Move get_signal_name() from test.libregrtest to test.support.
* Use get_signal_name() in support.script_helper.
* support.script_helper now decodes stdout and stderr from UTF-8,
instead of ASCII, if a command failed.
The tests were accidentally disabled by 2da0dc0, which didn't handle classes correctly.
I considered updating no_rerun() to support classes, but the way test_datetime.py works would have made things fairly messy. Plus, it looks like the refleaks we had encountered before have been resolved.
The free-threaded build currently immortalizes objects that use deferred
reference counting (see gh-117783). This typically happens once the
first non-main thread is created, but the behavior can be suppressed for
tests, in subinterpreters, or during a compile() call.
This fixes a race condition involving the tracking of whether the
behavior is suppressed.
As reported in #117847 and #115366, an unpaired backtick in a docstring
tends to confuse e.g. Sphinx running on subclasses of standard library
objects, and the typographic style of using a backtick as an opening
quote is no longer in favor. Convert almost all uses of the form
The variable `foo' should do xyz
to
The variable 'foo' should do xyz
and also fix up miscellaneous other unpaired backticks (extraneous /
missing characters).
No functional change is intended here other than in human-readable
docstrings.
We already intern and immortalize most string constants. In the
free-threaded build, other constants can be a source of reference count
contention because they are shared by all threads running the same code
objects.
The code for Tier 2 is now only compiled when configured
with `--enable-experimental-jit[=yes|interpreter]`.
We drop support for `PYTHON_UOPS` and -`Xuops`,
but you can disable the interpreter or JIT
at runtime by setting `PYTHON_JIT=0`.
You can also build it without enabling it by default
using `--enable-experimental-jit=yes-off`;
enable with `PYTHON_JIT=1`.
On Windows, the `build.bat` script supports
`--experimental-jit`, `--experimental-jit-off`,
`--experimental-interpreter`.
In the C code, `_Py_JIT` is defined as before
when the JIT is enabled; the new variable
`_Py_TIER2` is defined when the JIT *or* the
interpreter is enabled. It is actually a bitmask:
1: JIT; 2: default-off; 4: interpreter.
Deferred reference counting is not fully implemented yet. As a temporary
measure, we immortalize objects that would use deferred reference
counting to avoid multi-threaded scaling bottlenecks.
This is only performed in the free-threaded build once the first
non-main thread is started. Additionally, some tests, including refleak
tests, suppress this behavior.
This is similar to the situation with threading._DummyThread. The methods (incl. __del__()) of interpreters.Interpreter objects must be careful with interpreters not created by interpreters.create(). The simplest thing to start with is to disable any method that modifies or runs in the interpreter. As part of this, the runtime keeps track of where an interpreter was created. We also handle interpreter "refcounts" properly.
The free-threaded build does not currently support the combination of
single-phase init modules and non-isolated subinterpreters. Ensure that
`check_multi_interp_extensions` is always `True` for subinterpreters in
the free-threaded build so that importing these modules raises an
`ImportError`.
The test suite fetches the C recursion limit from the _testcapi
extension module. Test extension modules can be disabled using the
--disable-test-modules configure option.
I had meant to switch everything to InterpreterError when I added it a while back. At the time I missed a few key spots.
As part of this, I've added print-the-exception to _PyXI_InitTypes() and fixed an error case in `_PyStaticType_InitBuiltin().
These helpers make it easier to customize and inspect the config used to initialize interpreters. This is especially valuable in our tests. I found inspiration from the PyConfig API for the PyInterpreterConfig dict conversion stuff. As part of this PR I've also added a bunch of tests.
On Windows in release mode, the test_cext and test_cppext can now
build C and C++ extensions.
* test_cext now also builds the C extension without options.
* test_cppext now also builds the C++ extension without options.
* Add C++14 test to test_cppext; C++11 is not supported by MSVC.
* Make setup_venv_with_pip_setuptools_wheel() quiet when
support.verbose is false. Only show stdout and stderr on failure.
The free-threaded GC only does full collections, so it uses a threshold that
is a maximum of a fixed value (default 2000) and proportional to the number of
live objects. If there were many live objects after the previous collection,
then the threshold may be larger than 10,000 causing
`test_indirect_calls_with_gc_disabled` to fail.
This manually sets the threshold to `(1000, 0, 0)` for the test. The `0`
disables the proportional scaling.
gh-116307: Create a new import helper 'isolated modules' and use that instead of 'Clean Import' to ensure that tests from importlib_resources don't leave modules in sys.modules.
Add a new C extension "_testlimitedcapi" which is only built with the
limited C API.
Move heaptype_relative.c and vectorcall_limited.c from
Modules/_testcapi/ to Modules/_testlimitedcapi/.
* configure: add _testlimitedcapi test extension.
* Update generate_stdlib_module_names.py.
* Update make check-c-globals.
