Such C API functions as PyErr_SetString(), PyErr_Format(),
PyErr_SetFromErrnoWithFilename() and many others no longer crash or
ignore errors if it failed to format the error message or decode the
filename. Instead, they keep a corresponding error.
Remove old aliases which were kept backwards compatibility with
Python 3.8:
* _PyObject_CallMethodNoArgs()
* _PyObject_CallMethodOneArg()
* _PyObject_CallOneArg()
* _PyObject_FastCallDict()
* _PyObject_Vectorcall()
* _PyObject_VectorcallMethod()
* _PyVectorcall_Function()
Update code which used these aliases to use new names.
* Make sure that the current exception is always normalized.
* Remove redundant type and traceback fields for the current exception.
* Add new API functions: PyErr_GetRaisedException, PyErr_SetRaisedException
* Add new API functions: PyException_GetArgs, PyException_SetArgs
Fix potential race condition in code patterns:
* Replace "Py_DECREF(var); var = new;" with "Py_SETREF(var, new);"
* Replace "Py_XDECREF(var); var = new;" with "Py_XSETREF(var, new);"
* Replace "Py_CLEAR(var); var = new;" with "Py_XSETREF(var, new);"
Other changes:
* Replace "old = var; var = new; Py_DECREF(var)"
with "Py_SETREF(var, new);"
* Replace "old = var; var = new; Py_XDECREF(var)"
with "Py_XSETREF(var, new);"
* And remove the "old" variable.
This is the first of several precursors to storing tp_subclasses (and tp_weaklist) on the interpreter state for static builtin types.
We do the following:
* add `_PyStaticType_InitBuiltin()`
* add `_Py_TPFLAGS_STATIC_BUILTIN`
* set it on all static builtin types in `_PyStaticType_InitBuiltin()`
* shuffle some code around to be able to use _PyStaticType_InitBuiltin()
* rename `_PyStructSequence_InitType()` to `_PyStructSequence_InitBuiltinWithFlags()`
* add `_PyStructSequence_InitBuiltin()`.
We're no longer using _Py_IDENTIFIER() (or _Py_static_string()) in any core CPython code. It is still used in a number of non-builtin stdlib modules.
The replacement is: PyUnicodeObject (not pointer) fields under _PyRuntimeState, statically initialized as part of _PyRuntime. A new _Py_GET_GLOBAL_IDENTIFIER() macro facilitates lookup of the fields (along with _Py_GET_GLOBAL_STRING() for non-identifier strings).
https://bugs.python.org/issue46541#msg411799 explains the rationale for this change.
The core of the change is in:
* (new) Include/internal/pycore_global_strings.h - the declarations for the global strings, along with the macros
* Include/internal/pycore_runtime_init.h - added the static initializers for the global strings
* Include/internal/pycore_global_objects.h - where the struct in pycore_global_strings.h is hooked into _PyRuntimeState
* Tools/scripts/generate_global_objects.py - added generation of the global string declarations and static initializers
I've also added a --check flag to generate_global_objects.py (along with make check-global-objects) to check for unused global strings. That check is added to the PR CI config.
The remainder of this change updates the core code to use _Py_GET_GLOBAL_IDENTIFIER() instead of _Py_IDENTIFIER() and the related _Py*Id functions (likewise for _Py_GET_GLOBAL_STRING() instead of _Py_static_string()). This includes adding a few functions where there wasn't already an alternative to _Py*Id(), replacing the _Py_Identifier * parameter with PyObject *.
The following are not changed (yet):
* stop using _Py_IDENTIFIER() in the stdlib modules
* (maybe) get rid of _Py_IDENTIFIER(), etc. entirely -- this may not be doable as at least one package on PyPI using this (private) API
* (maybe) intern the strings during runtime init
https://bugs.python.org/issue46541
The _curses module now creates its ncurses_version type as a heap
type using PyStructSequence_NewType(), rather than using a static
type.
* Move _PyStructSequence_FiniType() definition to pycore_structseq.h.
* test.pythoninfo: log curses.ncurses_version.
Add _PyStructSequence_FiniType() and _PyStaticType_Dealloc()
functions to finalize a structseq static type in Py_Finalize().
Currrently, these functions do nothing if Python is built in release
mode.
Clear static types:
* AsyncGenHooksType: sys.set_asyncgen_hooks()
* FlagsType: sys.flags
* FloatInfoType: sys.float_info
* Hash_InfoType: sys.hash_info
* Int_InfoType: sys.int_info
* ThreadInfoType: sys.thread_info
* UnraisableHookArgsType: sys.unraisablehook
* VersionInfoType: sys.version
* WindowsVersionType: sys.getwindowsversion()
* Do not PUSH/POP traceback or type to the stack as part of exc_info
* Remove exc_traceback and exc_type from _PyErr_StackItem
* Add to what's new, because this change breaks things like Cython
This change is strictly renames and moving code around. It helps in the following ways:
* ensures type-related init functions focus strictly on one of the three aspects (state, objects, types)
* passes in PyInterpreterState * to all those functions, simplifying work on moving types/objects/state to the interpreter
* consistent naming conventions help make what's going on more clear
* keeping API related to a type in the corresponding header file makes it more obvious where to look for it
https://bugs.python.org/issue46008
* Move _PyObject_CallNoArgs() to pycore_call.h (internal C API).
* _ssl, _sqlite and _testcapi extensions now call the public
PyObject_CallNoArgs() function, rather than _PyObject_CallNoArgs().
* _lsprof extension is now built with Py_BUILD_CORE_MODULE macro
defined to get access to internal _PyObject_CallNoArgs().
Fix typo in the private _PyObject_CallNoArg() function name: rename
it to _PyObject_CallNoArgs() to be consistent with the public
function PyObject_CallNoArgs().
* Convert "specials" array to InterpreterFrame struct, adding f_lasti, f_state and other non-debug FrameObject fields to it.
* Refactor, calls pushing the call to the interpreter upward toward _PyEval_Vector.
* Compute f_back when on thread stack, only filling in value when frame object outlives stack invocation.
* Move ownership of InterpreterFrame in generator from frame object to generator object.
* Do not create frame objects for Python calls.
* Do not create frame objects for generators.
To improve the user experience understanding what part of the error messages associated with SyntaxErrors is wrong, we can highlight the whole error range and not only place the caret at the first character. In this way:
>>> foo(x, z for z in range(10), t, w)
File "<stdin>", line 1
foo(x, z for z in range(10), t, w)
^
SyntaxError: Generator expression must be parenthesized
becomes
>>> foo(x, z for z in range(10), t, w)
File "<stdin>", line 1
foo(x, z for z in range(10), t, w)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
SyntaxError: Generator expression must be parenthesized
Reorganize pycore_interp_init() to initialize singletons before the
the first PyType_Ready() call. Fix an issue when Python is configured
using --without-doc-strings.
If PyDict_GetItemWithError is only used to check whether the key is in dict,
it is better to use PyDict_Contains instead.
And if it is used in combination with PyDict_SetItem, PyDict_SetDefault can
replace the combination.
When a file ends with a line that contains a line continuation character
the text of the emitted SyntaxError is empty, contrary to the old
parser, where the error text contained the text of the last line.
