This deprecates `st_ctime` fields on Windows, with the intent to change them to contain the correct value in 3.14. For now, they should keep returning the creation time as they always have.
Add `MS_WINDOWS_DESKTOP`, `MS_WINDOWS_APPS`, `MS_WINDOWS_SYSTEM` and `MS_WINDOWS_GAMES` preprocessor definitions to allow switching off functionality missing from particular API partitions ("partitions" are used in Windows to identify overlapping subsets of APIs).
CPython only officially supports `MS_WINDOWS_DESKTOP` and `MS_WINDOWS_SYSTEM` (APPS is included by normal desktop builds, but APPS without DESKTOP is not covered). Other configurations are a convenience for people building their own runtimes.
`MS_WINDOWS_GAMES` is for the Xbox subset of the Windows API, which is also available on client OS, but is restricted compared to `MS_WINDOWS_DESKTOP`. These restrictions may change over time, as they relate to the build headers rather than the OS support, and so we assume that Xbox builds will use the latest available version of the GDK.
* fileutils: handle non-blocking pipe IO on Windows
Handle erroring operations on non-blocking pipes by reading the _doserrno code.
Limit writes on non-blocking pipes that are too large.
* Support blocking functions on Windows
Use the GetNamedPipeHandleState and SetNamedPipeHandleState Win32 API functions to add support for os.get_blocking and os.set_blocking.
- check for ``dup()`` libc function
- handle missing ``F_DUPFD`` in ``dup2()`` replacement function
- add workaround for WASI libc bug in MSG_TRUNC
- ESHUTDOWN is missing, use EPIPE instead
- POLLPRI is missing, define as 0 (no-op)
The Py_DecodeLocale() and Py_EncodeLocale() now use
_PyRuntime.preconfig, rather than Py_UTF8Mode and
Py_LegacyWindowsFSEncodingFlag global configuration varibles, to
decide if the UTF-8 encoding is used or not.
As documented, these functions must not be called before Python is
preinitialized. The new PyConfig API should now be used, rather than
using deprecated functions like Py_SetPath() or PySys_SetArgv().
Python 3.11 now uses C11 standard which adds static_assert()
to <assert.h>.
* In pytime.c, replace Py_BUILD_ASSERT() with preprocessor checks on
SIZEOF_TIME_T with #error.
* On macOS, py_mach_timebase_info() now accepts timebase members with
the same size than _PyTime_t.
* py_get_monotonic_clock() now saturates GetTickCount64() to
_PyTime_MAX: GetTickCount64() is unsigned, whereas _PyTime_t is
signed.
_Py_closerange() currently assumes that close_range() closes
all file descriptors even if it returns an error (other than ENOSYS).
This assumption can be wrong on Linux if a seccomp sandbox denies
the underlying syscall, pretending that it returns EPERM or EACCES.
In this case _Py_closerange() won't close any descriptors at all,
which in the worst case can be a security issue.
Fix this by falling back to other methods in case of any close_range()
error. Note that fallbacks will not be triggered on any problems with
closing individual file descriptors because close_range() is documented
to ignore such errors on both Linux[1] and FreeBSD[2].

The getpath.py file is frozen at build time and executed as code over a namespace. It is never imported, nor is it meant to be importable or reusable. However, it should be easier to read, modify, and patch than the previous code.
This commit attempts to preserve every previously tested quirk, but these may be changed in the future to better align platforms.
The recently added PyConfig.stdlib_dir was being set with ".." entries. When __file__ was added for from modules this caused a problem on out-of-tree builds. This PR fixes that by normalizing "stdlib_dir" when it is calculated in getpath.c.

The default was "off". Switching it to "on" means users get the benefit of frozen stdlib modules without having to do anything. There's a special-case for running-in-source-tree, so contributors don't get surprised when their stdlib changes don't get used.
https://bugs.python.org/issue45020
This accomplishes 2 things:
* consolidates some common code between getpath.c and getpathp.c
* makes the helpers available to code in other files
FWIW, the signature of the join_relfile() function (in fileutils.c) intentionally mirrors that of Windows' PathCchCombineEx().
Note that this change is mostly moving code around. No behavior is meant to change.

Release the GIL while performing isatty() system calls on arbitrary
file descriptors. In particular, this affects os.isatty(),
os.device_encoding() and io.TextIOWrapper. By extension,
io.open() in text mode is also affected.
Fix the os.set_inheritable() function on FreeBSD 14 for file
descriptor opened with the O_PATH flag: ignore the EBADF error on
ioctl(), fallback on the fcntl() implementation.
This works by not caching the handle and instead getting the handle from
the file descriptor each time, so that if the actual handle changes by
fd redirection closing/opening the console handle beneath our feet, we
will keep working correctly.
Python no longer fails at startup with a fatal error if a command
line argument contains an invalid Unicode character.
The Py_DecodeLocale() function now escapes byte sequences which would
be decoded as Unicode characters outside the [U+0000; U+10ffff]
range.
Use MAX_UNICODE constant in unicodeobject.c.
If the nl_langinfo(CODESET) function returns an empty string, Python
now uses UTF-8 as the filesystem encoding.
In May 2010 (commit b744ba1d14), I
modified Python to log a warning and use UTF-8 as the filesystem
encoding (instead of None) if nl_langinfo(CODESET) returns an empty
string.
In August 2020 (commit 94908bbc15), I
modified Python startup to fail with a fatal error and a specific
error message if nl_langinfo(CODESET) returns an empty string. The
intent was to prevent guessing the encoding and also investigate user
configuration where this case happens.
In 10 years (2010 to 2020), I saw zero user report about the error
message related to nl_langinfo(CODESET) returning an empty string.
Today, UTF-8 became the defacto standard and it's safe to make the
assumption that the user expects UTF-8. For example,
nl_langinfo(CODESET) can return an empty string on macOS if the
LC_CTYPE locale is not supported, and UTF-8 is the default encoding
on macOS.
While this change is likely to not affect anyone in practice, it
should make UTF-8 lover happy ;-)
Rewrite also the documentation explaining how Python selects the
filesystem encoding and error handler.
* Rename _Py_GetLocaleEncoding() to _Py_GetLocaleEncodingObject()
* Add _Py_GetLocaleEncoding() which returns a wchar_t* string to
share code between _Py_GetLocaleEncodingObject()
and config_get_locale_encoding().
* _Py_GetLocaleEncodingObject() now decodes nl_langinfo(CODESET)
from the current locale encoding with surrogateescape,
rather than using UTF-8.
_io.TextIOWrapper no longer calls getpreferredencoding(False) of
_bootlocale to get the locale encoding, but calls
_Py_GetLocaleEncoding() instead.
Add config_get_fs_encoding() sub-function. Reorganize also
config_get_locale_encoding() code.
This API is relatively lightweight and organizationally, given that it's
used by multiple modules, it makes sense to move it to fileutils.
Requires making sure that _posixsubprocess is compiled with the appropriate
Py_BUIILD_CORE_BUILTIN macro.
Following symbolic links is now limited to 40 attempts, just to
prevent loops.
Add subfunctions:
* Add resolve_symlinks()
* Add calculate_argv0_path_framework()
* Add calculate_which()
* Add calculate_program_macos()
Fix also _Py_wreadlink(): readlink() result type is Py_ssize_t, not
int.
bpo-37834: Normalise handling of reparse points on Windows
* ntpath.realpath() and nt.stat() will traverse all supported reparse points (previously was mixed)
* nt.lstat() will let the OS traverse reparse points that are not name surrogates (previously would not traverse any reparse point)
* nt.[l]stat() will only set S_IFLNK for symlinks (previous behaviour)
* nt.readlink() will read destinations for symlinks and junction points only
bpo-1311: os.path.exists('nul') now returns True on Windows
* nt.stat('nul').st_mode is now S_IFCHR (previously was an error)
Python now gets the absolute path of the script filename specified on
the command line (ex: "python3 script.py"): the __file__ attribute of
the __main__ module, sys.argv[0] and sys.path[0] become an absolute
path, rather than a relative path.
* Add _Py_isabs() and _Py_abspath() functions.
* _PyConfig_Read() now tries to get the absolute path of
run_filename, but keeps the relative path if _Py_abspath() fails.
* Reimplement os._getfullpathname() using _Py_abspath().
* Use _Py_isabs() in getpath.c.
