Fix C++ compiler warnings on cast macros, like _PyObject_CAST(), when
casting a constant expression to a non constant type: use
const_cast<> in C++.
* In C++, Py_SAFE_DOWNCAST() now uses static_cast<> rather than
reinterpret_cast<>.
* Add tests to the _testcppext C++ extension.
* test_cppext no longer captures stdout in verbose mode.
Build a basic C++ test extension to check that the Python C API is
compatible with C++ and does not emit C++ compiler warnings.
* Add Modules/_testcppext.cpp: C++ extension
* Add Lib/test/test_cppext.py: test building the C++ extension.
If the error handler returns position less or equal than the starting
position of non-encodable characters, most of built-in encoders didn't
properly re-size the output buffer. This led to out-of-bounds writes,
and segfaults.
Raise an ArgumentError when the same subparser name is added twice to an
ArgumentParser. This is consistent with the (default) behavior when the
same option string is added twice to an ArgumentParser.
(Support for `conflict_handler="resolve"` could be considered as a
followup feature, although real use cases seem even rarer than
"resolve"ing option-strings.)

* Check the types of PRECALL_METHOD_DESCRIPTOR_FAST_WITH_KEYWORDS
* fix PRECALL_NO_KW_METHOD_DESCRIPTOR_NOARGS as well
* fix PRECALL_NO_KW_METHOD_DESCRIPTOR_O
* fix PRECALL_NO_KW_METHOD_DESCRIPTOR_FAST
It was raised if the charset itself contains characters not encodable
in UTF-8 (in particular \udcxx characters representing non-decodable
bytes in the source).
Only sequence of ASCII digits will be accepted as a numerical reference.
The group name in bytes patterns and replacement strings could only
contain ASCII letters and digits and underscore.
# Adding 'required' to names in Lib.argparse.Action
gh-91832:
Added 'required' to the list `names` in `Lib.argparse.Action`.
Changed constant strings that test the Action object.

The warning emitted by the Python parser for a numeric literal
immediately followed by keyword has been changed from deprecation
warning to syntax warning.
If use a non-builtin codec, partially implemented in Python
(e.g. ISO-8859-15), a new RecursionError (with empty error message)
can be raised while handle a RecursionError.
Testing for error message was needed to distinguish
a recursion error from arbitrary RuntimeError. After introducing
RecursionError, it became unnecessary.
Copied from typing-extensions (python/typing#1054, python/typing#1120).
Documentation is intentionally omitted, so we can focus on getting the
runtime part in before the feature freeze.
Just in case there is ever an issue with _posixsubprocess's use of
vfork() due to the complexity of using it properly and potential
directions that Linux platforms where it defaults to on could take, this
adds a failsafe so that users can disable its use entirely by setting
a global flag.
No known reason to disable it exists. But it'd be a shame to encounter
one and not be able to use CPython without patching and rebuilding it.
See the linked issue for some discussion on reasoning.
Also documents the existing way to disable posix_spawn.
Fix signal.NSIG value on FreeBSD to accept signal numbers greater
than 32, like signal.SIGRTMIN and signal.SIGRTMAX.
* Add Py_NSIG constant.
* Add pycore_signal.h internal header file.
* _Py_Sigset_Converter() now includes the range of valid signals in
the error message.
