The code for Tier 2 is now only compiled when configured
with `--enable-experimental-jit[=yes|interpreter]`.
We drop support for `PYTHON_UOPS` and -`Xuops`,
but you can disable the interpreter or JIT
at runtime by setting `PYTHON_JIT=0`.
You can also build it without enabling it by default
using `--enable-experimental-jit=yes-off`;
enable with `PYTHON_JIT=1`.
On Windows, the `build.bat` script supports
`--experimental-jit`, `--experimental-jit-off`,
`--experimental-interpreter`.
In the C code, `_Py_JIT` is defined as before
when the JIT is enabled; the new variable
`_Py_TIER2` is defined when the JIT *or* the
interpreter is enabled. It is actually a bitmask:
1: JIT; 2: default-off; 4: interpreter.
Avoid detaching thread state when stopping the world. When re-attaching
the thread state, the thread would attempt to resume the top-most
critical section, which might now be held by a thread paused for our
stop-the-world request.
Add tests for "import", pkgutil.resolve_name() and unittest.mock.path()
for cases when "import a.b as x" and "from a import b as x" give
different results.
The `argument_list` parameter of bdb.Bdb.user_call has been useless for 25 years. It is retained for backwards compatibility, but it will always be None.
Deferred reference counting is not fully implemented yet. As a temporary
measure, we immortalize objects that would use deferred reference
counting to avoid multi-threaded scaling bottlenecks.
This is only performed in the free-threaded build once the first
non-main thread is started. Additionally, some tests, including refleak
tests, suppress this behavior.
It's not safe to raise an exception in `PyObject_ClearWeakRefs()` if one
is not already set, since it may be called by `_Py_Dealloc()`, which
requires that the active exception does not change.
Additionally, make sure we clear the weakrefs even when tuple allocation
fails.
* Allow to specify the signature of custom callable instances of extension
type by the __text_signature__ attribute.
* Specify signatures of operator.attrgetter, operator.itemgetter, and
operator.methodcaller instances.
Basically, I've turned most of _PyImport_LoadDynamicModuleWithSpec() into two new functions (_PyImport_GetModInitFunc() and _PyImport_RunModInitFunc()) and moved the rest of it out into _imp_create_dynamic_impl(). There shouldn't be any changes in behavior.
This change makes some future changes simpler. This is particularly relevant to potentially calling each module init function in the main interpreter first. Thus the critical part of the PR is the addition of _PyImport_RunModInitFunc(), which is strictly focused on running the init func and validating the result. A later PR will take it a step farther by capturing error information rather than raising exceptions.
FWIW, this change also helps readers by clarifying a bit more about what happens when an extension/builtin module is imported.
