This makes select.poll() and kqueue() objects thread-safe in the
free-threaded build. Note that calling close() concurrently with other
functions is still not thread-safe due to races on file descriptors
(gh-121544).
On heavily loaded machines, the subprocess may finish its sleep before
the parent process manages to synchronize with it via a failed lock.
This leads to errors like:
Exception: failed to sync child in 300.3 sec
Use pipes instead to mutually synchronize between parent and child.
Along the way, make the cache key in GitHub Actions for `config.cache` be more robust in the face of potential env var changes from `Tools/wasm/wasi.py`.
The ProcessPoolForkserver combined with resource_tracker starts a thread
after forking, which is not supported by TSan.
Also skip test_multiprocessing_fork for the same reason
The `used` field must be written using atomic stores because `set_len`
and iterators may access the field concurrently without holding the
per-object lock.
The change in gh-118157 (b2cd54a) should have also updated clear_singlephase_extension() but didn't. We fix that here. Note that clear_singlephase_extension() (AKA _PyImport_ClearExtension()) is only used in tests.
The `_PySeqLock_EndRead` function needs an acquire fence to ensure that
the load of the sequence happens after any loads within the read side
critical section. The missing fence can trigger bugs on macOS arm64.
Additionally, we need a release fence in `_PySeqLock_LockWrite` to
ensure that the sequence update is visible before any modifications to
the cache entry.
Add *preserve_metadata* keyword-only argument to `pathlib.Path.copy()`, defaulting to false. When set to true, we copy timestamps, permissions, extended attributes and flags where available, like `shutil.copystat()`. The argument has no effect on Windows, where metadata is always copied.
Internally (in the pathlib ABCs), path types gain `_readable_metadata` and `_writable_metadata` attributes. These sets of strings describe what kinds of metadata can be retrieved and stored. We take an intersection of `source._readable_metadata` and `target._writable_metadata` to minimise reads/writes. A new `_read_metadata()` method accepts a set of metadata keys and returns a dict with those keys, and a new `_write_metadata()` method accepts a dict of metadata. We *might* make these public in future, but it's hard to justify while the ABCs are still private.
In `{str,bytes}.strip(chars)`, multiple characters are not treated as a
prefix/suffix, but as individual characters. This may make users confuse
whether `split` has similar behavior.
Users may incorrectly expect that
`'Good morning, John.'.split(', .') == ['Good', 'morning', 'John']`
Adding a bit of clarification in the doc.
