Move the following API from Include/opcode.h (public C API) to a new
Include/internal/pycore_opcode.h header file (internal C API):
* EXTRA_CASES
* _PyOpcode_Caches
* _PyOpcode_Deopt
* _PyOpcode_Jump
* _PyOpcode_OpName
* _PyOpcode_RelativeJump
* Moves the bytecode to the end of the corresponding PyCodeObject, and quickens it in-place.
* Removes the almost-always-unused co_varnames, co_freevars, and co_cellvars member caches
* _PyOpcode_Deopt is a new mapping from all opcodes to their un-quickened forms.
* _PyOpcode_InlineCacheEntries is renamed to _PyOpcode_Caches
* _Py_IncrementCountAndMaybeQuicken is renamed to _PyCode_Warmup
* _Py_Quicken is renamed to _PyCode_Quicken
* _co_quickened is renamed to _co_code_adaptive (and is now a read-only memoryview).
* Do not emit unused nonzero opargs anymore in the compiler.
When a static inline function is wrapped by a macro which casts its
arguments to the expected type, there is no need that the function
has a different name than the macro. Use the same name for the macro
and the function to avoid confusion.
Rename _PyUnicode_get_wstr_length() to PyUnicode_WSTR_LENGTH().
Don't rename static inline _Py_NewRef() and _Py_XNewRef() functions,
since the C API exports Py_NewRef() and Py_XNewRef() functions as
regular functions. The name cannot be reused in this case.
We're no longer using _Py_IDENTIFIER() (or _Py_static_string()) in any core CPython code. It is still used in a number of non-builtin stdlib modules.
The replacement is: PyUnicodeObject (not pointer) fields under _PyRuntimeState, statically initialized as part of _PyRuntime. A new _Py_GET_GLOBAL_IDENTIFIER() macro facilitates lookup of the fields (along with _Py_GET_GLOBAL_STRING() for non-identifier strings).
https://bugs.python.org/issue46541#msg411799 explains the rationale for this change.
The core of the change is in:
* (new) Include/internal/pycore_global_strings.h - the declarations for the global strings, along with the macros
* Include/internal/pycore_runtime_init.h - added the static initializers for the global strings
* Include/internal/pycore_global_objects.h - where the struct in pycore_global_strings.h is hooked into _PyRuntimeState
* Tools/scripts/generate_global_objects.py - added generation of the global string declarations and static initializers
I've also added a --check flag to generate_global_objects.py (along with make check-global-objects) to check for unused global strings. That check is added to the PR CI config.
The remainder of this change updates the core code to use _Py_GET_GLOBAL_IDENTIFIER() instead of _Py_IDENTIFIER() and the related _Py*Id functions (likewise for _Py_GET_GLOBAL_STRING() instead of _Py_static_string()). This includes adding a few functions where there wasn't already an alternative to _Py*Id(), replacing the _Py_Identifier * parameter with PyObject *.
The following are not changed (yet):
* stop using _Py_IDENTIFIER() in the stdlib modules
* (maybe) get rid of _Py_IDENTIFIER(), etc. entirely -- this may not be doable as at least one package on PyPI using this (private) API
* (maybe) intern the strings during runtime init
