Make call_function_tail() less weird: don't decrement args reference counter,
the caller is now responsible to do that. The caller now also checks if args is
NULL.
Issue #27128.
Issue #27128: Modify call_function_tail() to use _PyObject_FastCall() when args
is not a tuple to avoid the creation of a temporary tuple.
call_function_tail() is used by:
* PyObject_CallFunction()
* PyObject_CallMethod()
* _PyObject_CallMethodId()
Issue #27128: Modify PyEval_CallObjectWithKeywords() to use
_PyObject_FastCall() when args==NULL and kw==NULL. It avoids the creation of a
temporary empty tuple for positional arguments.
Issue #27128: Add _PyObject_FastCall(), a new calling convention avoiding a
temporary tuple to pass positional parameters in most cases, but create a
temporary tuple if needed (ex: for the tp_call slot).
The API is prepared to support keyword parameters, but the full implementation
will come later (_PyFunction_FastCall() doesn't support keyword parameters
yet).
Add also:
* _PyStack_AsTuple() helper function: convert a "stack" of parameters to
a tuple.
* _PyCFunction_FastCall(): fast call implementation for C functions
* _PyFunction_FastCall(): fast call implementation for Python functions
- Issue #25958: Support "anti-registration" of special methods from
various ABCs, like __hash__, __iter__ or __len__. All these (and
several more) can be set to None in an implementation class and the
behavior will be as if the method is not defined at all.
(Previously, this mechanism existed only for __hash__, to make
mutable classes unhashable.) Code contributed by Andrew Barnert and
Ivan Levkivskyi.
Issue #27558: Fix a SystemError in the implementation of "raise" statement.
In a brand new thread, raise a RuntimeError since there is no active
exception to reraise.
Patch written by Xiang Zhang.
It's sometimes hard to check quickly if tests succeeded, failed or something
bad happened. I added a final "Result: xxx" line which summarizes all outputs
into a single line, written at the end (it should always be the last line of
the output).
* Memove -t option of ctags. The option was kept for backward compatibility,
but it was completly removed recently. Patch written by Stéphane Wirtel.
* Set locale to C to call sort. vim expects that the tags file is sorted using
english collation, so it fails if the locale is french for example. Use
LC_ALL=C to force english sorting order. .
vim expects that the tags file is sorted using english collation, so it fails
if the locale is french for example. Use LC_ALL=C to force english sorting
order. Issue #27726.
If Popen.communicate() raises an exception, kill the child process to not leave
a running child process in background and maybe create a zombi process.
This change fixes a ResourceWarning in Python 3.6 when unit tests are
interrupted by CTRL+c.
Issue #27128, #18295: replace int type with Py_ssize_t for index variables used
for positional arguments. It should help to avoid integer overflow and help to
emit better machine code for "i++" (no trap needed for overflow).
Make also the total_args variable constant.
