* Add an InternalDocs file describing how interning should work and how to use it.
* Add internal functions to *explicitly* request what kind of interning is done:
- `_PyUnicode_InternMortal`
- `_PyUnicode_InternImmortal`
- `_PyUnicode_InternStatic`
* Switch uses of `PyUnicode_InternInPlace` to those.
* Disallow using `_Py_SetImmortal` on strings directly.
You should use `_PyUnicode_InternImmortal` instead:
- Strings should be interned before immortalization, otherwise you're possibly
interning a immortalizing copy.
- `_Py_SetImmortal` doesn't handle the `SSTATE_INTERNED_MORTAL` to
`SSTATE_INTERNED_IMMORTAL` update, and those flags can't be changed in
backports, as they are now part of public API and version-specific ABI.
* Add private `_only_immortal` argument for `sys.getunicodeinternedsize`, used in refleak test machinery.
* Make sure the statically allocated string singletons are unique. This means these sets are now disjoint:
- `_Py_ID`
- `_Py_STR` (including the empty string)
- one-character latin-1 singletons
Now, when you intern a singleton, that exact singleton will be interned.
* Add a `_Py_LATIN1_CHR` macro, use it instead of `_Py_ID`/`_Py_STR` for one-character latin-1 singletons everywhere (including Clinic).
* Intern `_Py_STR` singletons at startup.
* For free-threaded builds, intern `_Py_LATIN1_CHR` singletons at startup.
* Beef up the tests. Cover internal details (marked with `@cpython_only`).
* Add lots of assertions

regrtest test runner: Add XML support to the refleak checker
(-R option).
* run_unittest() now stores XML elements as string, rather than
objects, in support.junit_xml_list.
* runtest_refleak() now saves/restores XML strings before/after
checking for reference leaks. Save XML into a temporary file.
Instead of showing a dot for each iteration, show:
- '.' for zero (on negative) leaks
- number of leaks for 1-9
- 'X' if there are more leaks
This allows more rapid iteration: when bisecting, I don't need
to wait for the final report to see if the test still leaks.
Also, show the full result if there are any non-zero entries.
This shows negative entries, for the unfortunate cases where
a reference is created and cleaned up in different runs.
Test *failure* is still determined by the existing heuristic.
Some socket tests related to sending file descriptors cause a file descriptor leak on macOS, all of them tests that send one or more descriptors than cannot be received on the read end. This appears to be a platform bug.
This PR skips those tests when doing a refleak test run to avoid hiding other problems.
* Add single.py and result.py files.
* Rename runtest.py to runtests.py.
* Move run_single_test() function and its helper functions to
single.py.
* Move remove_testfn(), abs_module_name() and normalize_test_name()
to utils.py.
* Move setup_support() to setup.py.
* Move type hints like TestName to utils.py.
* Rename runtest.py to runtests.py.
Add new worker.py file:
* Move create_worker_process() and worker_process() to this file.
* Add main() function to worker.py. create_worker_process() now
runs the command: "python -m test.libregrtest.worker JSON".
* create_worker_process() now starts the worker process in the
current working directory. Regrtest now gets the absolute path of
the reflog.txt filename: -R command line option filename.
* Remove --worker-json command line option.
Remove test_regrtest.test_worker_json().
Related changes:
* Add write_json() and from_json() methods to TestResult.
* Rename select_temp_dir() to get_temp_dir() and move it to utils.
* Rename make_temp_dir() to get_work_dir() and move it to utils.
It no longer calls os.makedirs(): Regrtest.main() now calls it.
* Move fix_umask() to utils. The function is now called by
setup_tests().
* Move StrPath to utils.
* Add exit_timeout() context manager to utils.
* RunTests: Replace junit_filename (StrPath) with use_junit (bool).
* Rename dash_R() runtest_refleak(). The function now gets
huntrleaks and quiet arguments, instead of 'ns' argument.
* Add attributes to Regrtest and RunTests:
* verbose
* quiet
* huntrleaks
* test_dir
* Add HuntRefleak class.
test_netrc, test_pep646_syntax and test_xml_etree now return results
in the test_main() function.
Changes:
* Rewrite TestResult as a dataclass with a new State class.
* Add test.support.TestStats class and Regrtest.stats_dict attribute.
* libregrtest.runtest functions now modify a TestResult instance
in-place.
* libregrtest summary lists the number of run tests and skipped
tests, and denied resources.
* Add TestResult.has_meaningful_duration() method.
* Compute TestResult duration in the upper function.
* Use time.perf_counter() instead of time.monotonic().
* Regrtest: rename 'resource_denieds' attribute to 'resource_denied'.
* Rename CHILD_ERROR to MULTIPROCESSING_ERROR.
* Use match/case syntadx to have different code depending on the
test state.

This is the implementation of PEP683
Motivation:
The PR introduces the ability to immortalize instances in CPython which bypasses reference counting. Tagging objects as immortal allows up to skip certain operations when we know that the object will be around for the entire execution of the runtime.
Note that this by itself will bring a performance regression to the runtime due to the extra reference count checks. However, this brings the ability of having truly immutable objects that are useful in other contexts such as immutable data sharing between sub-interpreters.
support.print_warning() now stores the original value of
sys.__stderr__ and uses it to log warnings. libregrtest uses the same
stream to log unraisable exceptions and uncaught threading
exceptions.
Partially revert commit dbe213de7ef28712bbfdb9d94a33abb9c33ef0c2:
libregrtest no longer replaces sys.__stdout__, sys.__stderr__, and
stdout and stderr file descriptors.
Remove also a few unused imports in libregrtest.
libregrtest now clears the type cache later to reduce the risk of
false alarm when checking for reference leaks. Previously, the type
cache was cleared too early and libregrtest raised a false alarm
about reference leaks under very specific conditions.
Move also support.gc_collect() outside clear/cleanup functions to
make the garbage collection more explicit.

* Add co_firstinstr field to code object.
* Implement barebones quickening.
* Use non-quickened bytecode when tracing.
* Add NEWS item
* Add new file to Windows build.
* Don't specialize instructions with EXTENDED_ARG.
Move clear_caches() from libregrtest.refleak to libregrtest.utils to
avoid importing libregrtest.refleak when it's not needed.
clear_caches() now only calls re.purge() if 're' is in sys.modules.
* Add TestResult and MultiprocessResult types to ensure that results
always have the same fields.
* runtest() now handles KeyboardInterrupt
* accumulate_result() and format_test_result() now takes a TestResult
* cleanup_test_droppings() is now called by runtest() and mark the
test as ENV_CHANGED if the test leaks support.TESTFN file.
* runtest() now includes code "around" the test in the test timing
* Add print_warning() in test.libregrtest.utils to standardize how
libregrtest logs warnings to ease parsing the test output.
* support.unload() is now called with abstest rather than test_name
* Rename 'test' variable/parameter to 'test_name'
* dash_R(): remove unused the_module parameter
* Remove unused imports
dash_R() function of libregrtest doesn't call support.gc_collect()
directly anymore: it's already called by dash_R_cleanup().
Call dash_R_cleanup() before starting the loop.
Fix reference leak hunting in regrtest: compute also deltas (of
reference count, allocated memory blocks, file descriptor count)
during warmup, to ensure that everything is initialized before
starting to hunt reference leaks.
Other changes:
* Replace gc.collect() with support.gc_collect()
* Move calls to read memory statistics from dash_R_cleanup() to
dash_R()
* Pass regrtest 'ns' to dash_R()
* dash_R() is now more quiet with --quiet option (don't display
progress).
* Precompute the full range for "for it in range(repcount):" to
ensure that the iteration doesn't allocate anything new.
* dash_R() now is responsible to call warm_caches().
Use a pool of integer objects toprevent false alarm when checking for
memory block leaks. Fill the pool with values in -1000..1000 which
are the most common (reference, memory block, file descriptor)
differences.

* bpo-26732: fix too many fds in processes started with the "forkserver" method
A child process would inherit as many fds as the number of still-running children.
* Add blurb and test comment
* Change the regrtest --huntrleaks checker to decide if a test file
leaks or not. Require that each run leaks at least 1 reference.
* Warmup runs are now completely ignored: ignored in the checker test
and not used anymore to compute the sum.
* Add an unit test for a reference leak.
Example of reference differences previously considered a failure
(leak) and now considered as success (success, no leak):
[3, 0, 0]
[0, 1, 0]
[8, -8, 1]
* Fix "-m test --forever": replace _test_forever() with self._test_forever()
* Add unit test for --forever
* Add unit test for a failing test
* Fix also some pyflakes warnings in libregrtest
