gcc -Wcast-qual turns up a number of instances of casting away constness of pointers. Some of these can be safely modified, by either:
Adding the const to the type cast, as in:
- return _PyUnicode_FromUCS1((unsigned char*)s, size);
+ return _PyUnicode_FromUCS1((const unsigned char*)s, size);
or, Removing the cast entirely, because it's not necessary (but probably was at one time), as in:
- PyDTrace_FUNCTION_ENTRY((char *)filename, (char *)funcname, lineno);
+ PyDTrace_FUNCTION_ENTRY(filename, funcname, lineno);
These changes will not change code, but they will make it much easier to check for errors in consts

Issue #28915: Replace _PyObject_CallMethodId() with
_PyObject_CallMethodIdObjArgs() in various modules when the format string was
only made of "O" formats, PyObject* arguments.
_PyObject_CallMethodIdObjArgs() avoids the creation of a temporary tuple and
doesn't have to parse a format string.
Replace
PyObject_CallFunction(func, "O", arg)
and
PyObject_CallFunction(func, "O", arg, NULL)
with
_PyObject_CallArg1(func, arg)
Replace
PyObject_CallFunction(func, NULL)
with
_PyObject_CallNoArg(func)
_PyObject_CallNoArg() and _PyObject_CallArg1() are simpler and don't allocate
memory on the C stack.
Issue #26588:
* Pass the hash table rather than the key size to hash and compare functions
* _Py_HASHTABLE_READ_KEY() and _Py_HASHTABLE_ENTRY_READ_KEY() macros now expect
the hash table as the first parameter, rather than the key size
* tracemalloc_get_traces_fill(): use _Py_HASHTABLE_ENTRY_READ_DATA() rather
than pointer dereference
* Remove the _Py_HASHTABLE_ENTRY_WRITE_PKEY() macro
* Move "PKEY" and "PDATA" macros inside hashtable.c
Issue #26588: hashtable.h now supports keys of any size, not only
sizeof(void*). It allows to support key larger than sizeof(void*), but also to
use less memory for key smaller than sizeof(void*).
Change pushed by mistake, the patch is still under review :-/
