PEP 432 specifies a number of large changes to interpreter startup code, including exposing a cleaner C-API. The major changes depend on a number of smaller changes. This patch includes all those smaller changes.
If we have a chain of generators/coroutines that are 'yield from'ing
each other, then resuming the stack works like:
- call send() on the outermost generator
- this enters _PyEval_EvalFrameDefault, which re-executes the
YIELD_FROM opcode
- which calls send() on the next generator
- which enters _PyEval_EvalFrameDefault, which re-executes the
YIELD_FROM opcode
- ...etc.
However, every time we enter _PyEval_EvalFrameDefault, the first thing
we do is to check for pending signals, and if there are any then we
run the signal handler. And if it raises an exception, then we
immediately propagate that exception *instead* of starting to execute
bytecode. This means that e.g. a SIGINT at the wrong moment can "break
the chain" – it can be raised in the middle of our yield from chain,
with the bottom part of the stack abandoned for the garbage collector.
The fix is pretty simple: there's already a special case in
_PyEval_EvalFrameEx where it skips running signal handlers if the next
opcode is SETUP_FINALLY. (I don't see how this accomplishes anything
useful, but that's another story.) If we extend this check to also
skip running signal handlers when the next opcode is YIELD_FROM, then
that closes the hole – now the exception can only be raised at the
innermost stack frame.
This shouldn't have any performance implications, because the opcode
check happens inside the "slow path" after we've already determined
that there's a pending signal or something similar for us to process;
the vast majority of the time this isn't true and the new check
doesn't run at all.
Python/thread_foobar.h is the template code that is threading adaptation
for new platforms, also hasn't been used on actual platforms.
Python/thread_*.h give concrete examples of adaptation instead of the
template code.
is_valid_fd() now uses fstat() instead of dup() on macOS to return 0
on a pipe when the other side of the pipe is closed. fstat() fails
with EBADF in that case, whereas dup() succeed.
* bpo-6532: Make the thread id an unsigned integer.
From C API side the type of results of PyThread_start_new_thread() and
PyThread_get_thread_ident(), the id parameter of
PyThreadState_SetAsyncExc(), and the thread_id field of PyThreadState
changed from "long" to "unsigned long".
* Restore a check in thread_get_ident().
When LOAD_METHOD is used for calling C mehtod, PyMethodDescrObject
was passed to profilefunc from 5566bbb.
But lsprof traces only PyCFunctionObject. Additionally, there can be
some third party extension which assumes passed arg is
PyCFunctionObject without calling PyCFunction_Check().
So make PyCFunctionObject from PyMethodDescrObject when
tstate->c_profilefunc is set.
sys.version and the platform module python_build(),
python_branch(), and python_revision() functions now use
git information rather than hg when building from a repo.
Based on original patches by Brett Cannon and Steve Dower.
bpo-29463 added optional "docstring" field to 4 AST types.
While it is optional, it breaks backward compatibility because AST constructor
requires number of positional argument is same to number of fields.
AST types accepts empty arguments, and incomplete keyword arguments.
But it's not big problem because field can be filled after creation, and checked when compiling.
So stop requiring complete set of fields for positional arguments too.
When you use `'%s' % SubClassOfStr()`, where `SubClassOfStr.__rmod__` exists, the reverse operation is ignored as normally such string formatting operations use the `PyUnicode_Format()` fast path. This patch tests for subclasses of `str` first and picks the slow path in that case.

* bpo-29463: Add docstring field to some AST nodes.
ClassDef, ModuleDef, FunctionDef, and AsyncFunctionDef has docstring
field for now. It was first statement of there body.
* fix document. thanks travis!
* doc fixes
bltinmodule.c: Added in b744ba1 and no longer necessary since d64e8a7
posixmodule.c: Added in d1cd4d4 and no longer necessary since efb00c0
pythonrun.c: Added in 73d538b and no longer necessary since d600951
sysmodule.c: Added in 5467d4c and no longer necessary since a2c17c5
* Move all functions to call objects in a new Objects/call.c file.
* Rename fast_function() to _PyFunction_FastCallKeywords().
* Copy null_error() from Objects/abstract.c
* Inline type_error() in call.c to not have to copy it, it was only
called once.
* Export _PyEval_EvalCodeWithName() since it is now called
from call.c.
