The build system now uses a :program:`_bootstrap_python` interpreter for

:program:`_bootstrap_python` and :program:`_freeze_module` are no longer

Cross building depends on a build Python interpreter, which must have same
version and bytecode as target host Python.
Instead we use $(PYTHON_FOR_REGEN) .../deepfreeze.py with the
frozen .h file as input, as we did for Windows in bpo-45850.
We also get rid of the code that generates the .h files
when make regen-frozen is run (i.e., .../make_frozen.py),
and the MANIFEST file.

``configure`` now uses a standardized format to forward state, compiler
flags, and linker flags to ``Makefile``, ``setup.py``, and
``Modules/Setup``. ``makesetup`` use the new variables by default if a
module line does not contain any compiler or linker flags. ``setup.py``
has a new function ``addext()``.
For a module ``egg``, configure adds:
* ``MODULE_EGG`` with value yes, missing, disabled, or n/a
* ``MODULE_EGG_CFLAGS``
* ``MODULE_EGG_LDFLAGS``
``Makefile.pre.in`` may also provide ``MODULE_EGG_DEPS`` that lists
dependencies such as header files and static libs.

This will enable us to drop the frozen module header files from the repository.
It does currently cause many source files to be built twice, which just takes more time. For whoever comes to fix this in the future, the files shared between freeze_module and pythoncore should be put into a static library that is consumed by both.
Doing this provides significant performance gains for runtime startup (~15% with all the imported modules frozen). We don't yet freeze all the imported modules because there are a few hiccups in the build systems we need to sort out first. (See bpo-45186 and bpo-45188.)
Note that in PR GH-28320 we added a command-line flag (-X frozen_modules=[on|off]) that allows users to opt out of (or into) using frozen modules. The default is still "off" but we will change it to "on" as soon as we can do it in a way that does not cause contributors pain.

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.
https://bugs.python.org/issue45019
A previous commit broke a check in sysconfig when building cpython itself.
This caused builds of the standard library modules to search a wrong
location (the installed location rather than the source directory) for
header files with the net effect that a ``make install``
incorrectly caused all extension modules to be rebuilt again and
with incorrect include file paths.
When building Python, we need two distinct "include" directories:
- source .h files
- install target for .h files
Note that this doesn't matter except when building Python from source.
Historically:
- source .h files were in the distutils scheme under 'include'
- the install directory was in the distutils.command.install scheme
under 'headers'
GH-24549 merged these; sysconfig is now the single source of truth and
distutils is derived from it.
This commit introduces a "secret" scheme path, 'headers', which contains
the install target. It is only present when building Python.
The distutils code uses it if present, and falls back to 'include'.

According to [bpo-42874](), some versions of grep do not support the `-q` and `-E` options. Although both options are used elsewhere in the configure script, this particular bit of validation can be achieved without them,

Would be good to get some people taking advantage of the `--with-tzpath` arguments in the wild to try this out.. Local testing seems to indicate that this does the same thing, but I don't know that we have any buildbots using this option. Maybe @pablogsal?

This is invalid in C99 and later and is an error with some compilers

Fix a race condition in "make regen-all" when make -jN option is used
to run jobs in parallel. The clinic.py script now only use atomic
write to write files. Moveover, generated files are now left
unchanged if the content does not change, to not change the file
modification time.
The "make regen-all" command runs "make clinic" and "make
regen-importlib" targets:
* "make regen-importlib" builds object files (ex: Modules/_weakref.o)
from source files (ex: Modules/_weakref.c) and clinic files (ex:
Modules/clinic/_weakref.c.h)
* "make clinic" always rewrites all clinic files
(ex: Modules/clinic/_weakref.c.h)
Since there is no dependency between "clinic" and "regen-importlib"
Makefile targets, these two targets can be run in parallel. Moreover,
half of clinic.py file writes are not atomic and so there is a race
condition when "make regen-all" runs jobs in parallel using make -jN
option (which can be passed in MAKEFLAGS environment variable).
Fix clinic.py to make all file writes atomic:
* Add write_file() function to ensure that all file writes are
atomic: write into a temporary file and then use os.replace().
* Moreover, write_file() doesn't recreate or modify the file if the
content does not change to avoid modifying the file modification
file.
* Update test_clinic to verify these assertions with a functional
test.
* Remove Clinic.force attribute which was no longer used, whereas
Clinic.verify remains useful.

Now the fields have names! Much easier to keep straight as a
reader than the elements of an 18-tuple.
Runs about 10-15% slower: from 10.8s to 12.3s, on my laptop.
Fortunately that's perfectly fine for this maintenance script.
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.
Change "clean" makefile target to also clean the program guided
optimization (PGO) data. Previously you would have to use "make
clean" and "make profile-removal", or "make clobber".
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.

Mark some individual tests to skip when --pgo is used. The tests
marked increase the PGO task time significantly and likely don't
help improve optimization of the final executable.
Reduce the number of unit tests run for the PGO generation task. This
speeds up the task by a factor of about 15x. Running the full unit test
suite is slow. This change may result in a slightly less optimized build
since not as many code branches will be executed. If you are willing to
wait for the much slower build, the old behavior can be restored using
'./configure [..] PROFILE_TASK="-m test --pgo-extended"'. We make no
guarantees as to which PGO task set produces a faster build. Users who
care should run their own relevant benchmarks as results can depend on
the environment, workload, and compiler tool chain.

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".
On Unix, C extensions are no longer linked to libpython.
It is now possible to load a C extension built using a shared library
Python with a statically linked Python.
When Python is embedded, libpython must not be loaded with
RTLD_LOCAL, but RTLD_GLOBAL instead. Previously, using RTLD_LOCAL, it
was already not possible to load C extensions which were not linked
to libpython, like C extensions of the standard library built by the
"*shared*" section of Modules/Setup.
distutils, python-config and python-config.py have been modified.
Release build and debug build are now ABI compatible: the Py_DEBUG
define no longer implies Py_TRACE_REFS define which introduces the
only ABI incompatibility.
A new "./configure --with-trace-refs" build option is now required to
get Py_TRACE_REFS define which adds sys.getobjects() function and
PYTHONDUMPREFS environment variable.
Changes:
* Add ./configure --with-trace-refs
* Py_DEBUG no longer implies Py_TRACE_REFS
"./configure --with-pymalloc" no longer adds the "m" flag to SOABI
(sys.implementation.cache_tag).
Enabling or disabling pymalloc has no impact on the ABI.
Change PyAPI_FUNC(type), PyAPI_DATA(type) and PyMODINIT_FUNC macros
of pyport.h when Py_BUILD_CORE_MODULE is defined.
The Py_BUILD_CORE_MODULE define must be now be used to build a C
extension as a dynamic library accessing Python internals: export the
PyInit_xxx() function in DLL exports on Windows.
Changes:
* Py_BUILD_CORE_BUILTIN and Py_BUILD_CORE_MODULE now imply
Py_BUILD_CORE directy in pyport.h.
* ceval.c compilation now fails with an error if Py_BUILD_CORE is not
defined, just to ensure that Python is build with the correct
defines.
* setup.py now compiles _pickle.c with Py_BUILD_CORE_MODULE define.
* setup.py compiles _json.c with Py_BUILD_CORE_MODULE define, rather
than Py_BUILD_CORE_BUILTIN define
* PCbuild/pythoncore.vcxproj: Add Py_BUILD_CORE_BUILTIN define.
Add -fmax-type-align=8 to CFLAGS when clang compiler is detected.
The pymalloc memory allocator aligns memory on 8 bytes. On x86-64,
clang expects alignment on 16 bytes by default and so uses MOVAPS
instruction which can lead to segmentation fault. Instruct clang that
Python is limited to alignemnt on 8 bytes to use MOVUPS instruction
instead: slower but don't trigger a SIGSEGV if the memory is not
aligned on 16 bytes.
Sadly, the flag must be expected to CFLAGS and not just
CFLAGS_NODIST, since third party C extensions can have the same
issue.

* Rename add_compiler_directories() to configure_compiler().
* Remove unused COMPILED_WITH_PYDEBUG constant.
* Use self.add() rather than accessing directly self.extensions.
* Remove module_enabled() function: check differently if curses
extension is built or not.
When compiling 3rd party C extensions, the linker flags used by the
compiler for the interpreter and the stdlib modules, will get
leaked into distutils. In order to avoid that, the PY_CORE_LDFLAGS
and PY_LDFLAGS_NODIST are introduced to keep those flags separated.
"make profile-opt" no longer replaces CFLAGS_NODIST with CFLAGS. It
now adds profile-guided optimization (PGO) flags to CFLAGS_NODIST,
existing CFLAGS_NODIST flags are kept.
When using link time optimizations, the -flto flag is passed to
BASECFLAGS, which makes it propagate to distutils. Those flags
should be reserved for the interpreter and the stdlib extension
modules only, thus moving those flags to CFLAGS_NODIST.

faster on Windows. On Unix, GCC uses -Og optimization level for
./configure --with-pydebug.
.o generated by clang in LTO mode actually are LLVM bitcode files, which
leads to a few errors during configure/build step:
- add lto flags to the BASECFLAGS instead of CFLAGS, as CFLAGS are used
to build autoconf test case, and some are not compatible with clang LTO
(they assume binary in the .o, not bitcode)
- force llvm-ar instead of ar, as ar is not aware of .o files generated
by clang -flto
Restores the use of pyexpatns.h to isolate our embedded copy of the expat C
library so that its symbols do not conflict at link or dynamic loading time
with an embedding application or other extension modules with their own
version of libexpat.
5dc3f23b5f (diff-3afaf7274c90ce1b7405f75ad825f545) inadvertently removed it when upgrading expat.
Currently configure.ac uses AC_RUN_IFELSE to determine the byte order of doubles, but this silently fails under cross compilation and Python doesn't do floats properly.
Instead, steal a macro from autoconf-archive which compiles code using magic doubles (which encode to ASCII) and grep for the representation in the binary.
RFC because this doesn't yet handle the weird ancient ARMv4 OABI 'mixed-endian' encoding properly. This encoding is ancient and I don't believe the union of "Python 3.8 users" and "OABI users" has anything in. Should the support for this just be dropped too? Alternatively, someone will need to find an OABI toolchain to verify the encoding of the magic double.
bpo-32430: Rename Modules/Setup.dist to Modules/Setup
Remove the necessity to copy the former manually to the latter when updating the local source tree.
Instead of passing configure args such as --without-gcc or --with-icc,
instead prefer to rely on the native way of finding the compiler:
passing CC (or CPP or CXX depending).
This allows configure to find the correct compiler instead of having to
be explicitly told. It also more correctly builds on both macOS and
FreeBSD since the system compiler is used by default (cc)
METH_NOARGS functions need only a single argument but they are cast
into a PyCFunction, which takes two arguments. This triggers an
invalid function cast warning in gcc8 due to the argument mismatch.
Fix this by adding a dummy unused argument.
Setup modules are no longer built with -DPy_BUILD_CORE by default,
as using that flag may now require including additional internal-only header files.
Instead, only the modules that specifically need it use that setting.
To support reproducible builds, the setting of of SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH triggers the py_compile module -- and by extension, compileall -- to forcibly compile with hash-based .pyc files. This eliminates the possibility of timestamp-based .pyc files which vary between builds.
glibc is deprecating libcrypt in favor of libxcrypt, however python assumes
that crypt.h will always be included. This change makes the header inclusion
explicit when libxcrypt is present on the system.
Add https://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf-archive/ax_check_openssl.html
to auto-detect compiler flags, linker flags and libraries to compile
OpenSSL extensions. The M4 macro uses pkg-config and falls back to
manual detection.
Add autoconf magic to detect usable X509_VERIFY_PARAM_set1_host()
and related functions.
Refactor setup.py to use new config vars to compile _ssl and _hashlib
modules.

When a single .c file contains several functions and/or methods with
the same name, a safety _METHODDEF #define statement is generated
only for one of them.
This fixes the bug by using the full name of the function to avoid
duplicates rather than just the name.
* bpo-28643: Record profile-opt build progress with stamp files
The profile-opt makefile target is expensive to build. Since the
makefile does not contain complete dependency information for this
target, much extra work can get done if the build is interrupted and
re-started. Even running "make" a second time will result in a huge
amount of redundant work.
As a minimal fix (rather than removing recursive "make" and adding a
proper dependency graph), split the profile-opt target into parts:
- ensure tree is clean (profile-clean-stamp)
- build with profile generation enabled (profile-gen-stamp)
- run task to generate profile information (profile-run-stamp)
- build optimized Python using above information (profile-opt)
We use "stamp" files to record completion of the steps. Running
"make clean" will not remove the profile-run-stamp file.
Other minor changes:
- remove the "build_all_use_profile" target. I don't expect callers
of the makefile to use this target so that should be safe.
- remove execution of "profile-removal" at end of "profile-opt". I
don't see any reason to not to keep the profile information, given
the cost to generate it. Removing the "profile-run-stamp" file
will force re-generation of it.
Fix the logic in python-config.sh to avoid attempting to substitute
prefix in a variable that might have already been subject to
substitution. This e.g. happened if @exec_prefix@ was defined as
"${prefix}" (which is the default of the configure script) -- in which
case the exec_prefix_build variable was initialized with
already-subtituted prefix, and then another round of substitution was
performed which might have resulted in duplicate prefix.
To avoid that, rename the variables so that the variables matching
likely configure names (prefix, exec_prefix) retain their original
values and a '_real' suffix is used for the real values of prefix.
Furthermore, replace the unnecessary prefix and exec_prefix
substitutions with direct prefix_real references since the sed
always replaced the whole string anyway by design.
Allow configure --with-lto to apply to all builds, not just profile-opt builds.
Whether this is actually useful or not must be determined by the person
building CPython using their own toolchain.
My own quick test on x86_64 Debian 9 (gcc 6.3, binutils 2.28) seemed
to suggest that it wasn't, but I expect better toolchains can or will exist
at some point. The point is to allow it at all.
Add "Misc/NEWS.d" directory tree for "blurb".
CPython workflow is changing! We're going to start using "blurb"
to manage Misc/NEWS entries:
https://github.com/python/core-workflow
(This will be a big win for release managers, honest.)
This checkin simply populates the "Misc/NEWS.d" subdirectory tree
so that people can start putting their news entries in there.
No other changes (yet).
