Check that users don't push changes with outdated or patched autoconf.
The presence of runstatedir option and aclocal 1.16.3 are good markers.
Use my container image to regenerate autoconf files. "Check for changes"
will fail later when any file is regenerated.
Use ccache in check_generated_files to speed up testing.
The build system now uses a :program:`_bootstrap_python` interpreter for
freezing and deepfreezing again. To speed up build process the build tools
:program:`_bootstrap_python` and :program:`_freeze_module` are no longer
build with LTO.
Cross building depends on a build Python interpreter, which must have same
version and bytecode as target host Python.
The getpath.py file is frozen at build time and executed as code over a namespace. It is never imported, nor is it meant to be importable or reusable. However, it should be easier to read, modify, and patch than the previous code.
This commit attempts to preserve every previously tested quirk, but these may be changed in the future to better align platforms.
The presence of frozen module headers in srcdir interfers with OOT
build. Make considers headers in srcdir up to date, but later builds do
not use VPATH to locate files. make clean now removes the headers, too.
Also remove stale ``_bootstrap_python`` from .gitignore.
This gains 10% or more in startup time for `python -c pass` on UNIX-ish systems.
The Makefile.pre.in generating code builds on Eric's work for bpo-45020, but the .c file generator is new.
Windows version TBD.
The "freeze" tool has been part of the repo for a long time. However, it hasn't had any tests in the test suite to guard against regressions. We add such a test here. This is especially important as there has been a lot of change recently related to frozen modules, with more to come.
Note that as part of the test we build Python out-of-tree and install it in a temp dir.

The main advantage is that the files will no longer show up in diffs and PRs. That means, for a PR, the number of files / lines changed will more clearly reflect the actual change. (This is essentially an un-revert of gh-28375.)

There are a few things I missed in gh-27980. This is a follow-up that will make subsequent PRs cleaner. It includes fixes to tests and tools that reference the frozen modules.

Frozen modules must be added to several files in order to work properly. Before this change this had to be done manually. Here we add a tool to generate the relevant lines in those files instead. This helps us avoid mistakes and omissions.

In GH-15823 the pattern was changed from `libpython*.so*` to `*.so*` which
matches a bit too greedily for some packagers. For instance this trips up
`debian/README.source`. A more specific pattern fixes this issue.
A root cause of bpo-37936 is that it's easy to write a .gitignore
rule that's intended to apply to a specific file (e.g., the
`pyconfig.h` generated by `./configure`) but actually applies to all
similarly-named files in the tree (e.g., `PC/pyconfig.h`.)
Specifically, any rule with no non-trailing slashes is applied in an
"unrooted" way, to files anywhere in the tree. This means that if we
write the rules in the most obvious-looking way, then
* for specific files we want to ignore that happen to be in
subdirectories (like `Modules/config.c`), the rule will work
as intended, staying "rooted" to the top of the tree; but
* when a specific file we want to ignore happens to be at the root of
the repo (like `platform`), then the obvious rule (`platform`) will
apply much more broadly than intended: if someone tries to add a
file or directory named `platform` somewhere else in the tree, it
will unexpectedly get ignored.
That's surprising behavior that can make the .gitignore file's
behavior feel finicky and unpredictable.
To avoid it, we can simply always give a rule "rooted" behavior when
that's what's intended, by systematically using leading slashes.
Further, to help make the pattern obvious when looking at the file and
minimize any need for thinking about the syntax when adding new rules:
separate the rules into one group for each type, with brief comments
identifying them.
For most of these rules it's clear whether they're meant to be rooted
or unrooted, but in a handful of cases I've only guessed. In that
case the safer default (the choice that won't hide information) is the
narrower, rooted meaning, with a leading slash. If for some of these
the unrooted meaning is desired after all, it'll be easy to move them
to the unrooted section at the top.
There were about 14 files that are actually in the repo but that are
covered by the rules in .gitignore.
Git itself takes no notice of what .gitignore says about files that
it's already tracking... but the discrepancy can be confusing to a
human that adds a new file unexpectedly covered by these rules, as
well as to non-Git software that looks at .gitignore but doesn't
implement this wrinkle in its semantics. (E.g., `rg`.)
Several of these are from rules that apply more broadly than
intended: for example, `Makefile` applies to `Doc/Makefile` and
`Tools/freeze/test/Makefile`, whereas `/Makefile` means only the
`Makefile` at the repo's root.
And the `Modules/Setup` rule simply wasn't updated after 961d54c5c.

These appeared in commit c5ae169e1. The comment on them, as well as
the presence among them of a rule for the .gitignore file itself,
indicate that the author intended these lines to remain only in their
own local working tree -- not to get committed even to their own repo,
let alone merged upstream.
They did nevertheless get committed, because it turns out that Git
takes no notice of what .gitignore says about files that it's already
tracking... for example, this .gitignore file itself.
Give effect to these lines' original intention, by deleting them. :-)
Git tip, for reference: the `.git/info/exclude` file is a handy way
to do exactly what these lines were originally intended to do. A
related handy file is `~/.config/git/ignore`. See gitignore(5),
aka `git help ignore`, for details.

To embed Python into an application, a new --embed option must be
passed to "python3-config --libs --embed" to get "-lpython3.8" (link
the application to libpython). To support both 3.8 and older, try
"python3-config --libs --embed" first and fallback to "python3-config
--libs" (without --embed) if the previous command fails.
Add a pkg-config "python-3.8-embed" module to embed Python into an
application: "pkg-config python-3.8-embed --libs" includes
"-lpython3.8". To support both 3.8 and older, try "pkg-config
python-X.Y-embed --libs" first and fallback to "pkg-config python-X.Y
--libs" (without --embed) if the previous command fails (replace
"X.Y" with the Python version).
On the other hand, "pkg-config python3.8 --libs" no longer contains
"-lpython3.8". C extensions must not be linked to libpython (except
on Android, case handled by the script); this change is backward
incompatible on purpose.
"make install" now also installs "python-3.8-embed.pc".
Pgen is the oldest piece of technology in the CPython repository, building it requires various #if[n]def PGEN hacks in other parts of the code and it also depends more and more on CPython internals. This commit removes the old pgen C code and replaces it for a new version implemented in pure Python. This is a modified and adapted version of lib2to3/pgen2 that can generate grammar files compatibles with the current parser.
This commit also eliminates all the #ifdef and code branches related to pgen, simplifying the code and making it more maintainable. The regen-grammar step now uses $(PYTHON_FOR_REGEN) that can be any version of the interpreter, so the new pgen code maintains compatibility with older versions of the interpreter (this also allows regenerating the grammar with the current CI solution that uses Python3.5). The new pgen Python module also makes use of the Grammar/Tokens file that holds the token specification, so is always kept in sync and avoids having to maintain duplicate token definitions.
This change adds the necessary items to the build projects to avoid erroring out right at the start. It does not add _support_ for targeting Windows on ARM32, but is a necessary prerequisite for adding it.

Rather than requiring the path to blurb and/or sphinx-build to be specified to the make rule, enhance the Doc/Makefile to look for each first in a virtual environment created by make venv and, if not found, look on the normal process PATH. This allows the Doc/Makefile to take advantage of an installed spinx-build or blurb and, thus, do the right thing most of the time. Also, make the directory for the venv be configurable and document the `make venv` target.
