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

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.
* Move _PyObject_CallNoArgs() to pycore_call.h (internal C API).
* _ssl, _sqlite and _testcapi extensions now call the public
PyObject_CallNoArgs() function, rather than _PyObject_CallNoArgs().
* _lsprof extension is now built with Py_BUILD_CORE_MODULE macro
defined to get access to internal _PyObject_CallNoArgs().
Fix typo in the private _PyObject_CallNoArg() function name: rename
it to _PyObject_CallNoArgs() to be consistent with the public
function PyObject_CallNoArgs().
The coding cookie (ex: "# coding: latin1") is now ignored in the
command passed to the -c command line option.
Since pymain_run_command() uses UTF-8, pass PyCF_IGNORE_COOKIE
compiler flag to the parser.
pymain_run_python() no longer propages compiler flags between
function calls.
If config->run_filename doesn't exist, log the error into sys.stderr
using "%R" format, to escape properly unencodable characters (usually
with backslashreplace).
pymain_run_file() no longer encodes the filename: pass the filename
as an object to the new _PyRun_AnyFileObject() function.
Add new private functions:
* _PyRun_AnyFileObject()
* _PyRun_InteractiveLoopObject()
* _Py_FdIsInteractive()
Rename _PyInterpreterState_GET_UNSAFE() to _PyInterpreterState_GET()
for consistency with _PyThreadState_GET() and to have a shorter name
(help to fit into 80 columns).
Add also "assert(tstate != NULL);" to the function.
Don't access PyInterpreterState.config member directly anymore, but
use new functions:
* _PyInterpreterState_GetConfig()
* _PyInterpreterState_SetConfig()
* _Py_GetConfig()
On FreeBSD, Python no longer calls fedisableexcept() at startup to
control the floating point control mode. The call became useless
since FreeBSD 6: it became the default mode.
For now, we'll rely on the fact that the config structures aren't covered by the stable ABI.
We may revisit this in the future if we further explore the idea of offering a stable embedding API.
(cherry picked from commit bdace21b76)
Add a new struct_size field to PyPreConfig and PyConfig structures to
allow to modify these structures in the future without breaking the
backward compatibility.
* Replace private _config_version field with public struct_size field
in PyPreConfig and PyConfig.
* Public PyPreConfig_InitIsolatedConfig() and
PyPreConfig_InitPythonConfig()
return type becomes PyStatus, instead of void.
* Internal _PyConfig_InitCompatConfig(),
_PyPreConfig_InitCompatConfig(), _PyPreConfig_InitFromConfig(),
_PyPreConfig_InitFromPreConfig() return type becomes PyStatus,
instead of void.
* Remove _Py_CONFIG_VERSION
* Update the Initialization Configuration documentation.
* Use the 'p' format unit instead of manually called PyObject_IsTrue().
* Pass boolean value instead 0/1 integers to functions that needs boolean.
* Convert some arguments to boolean only once.
Stop using "static PyConfig", PyConfig must now always use
dynamically allocated strings: use PyConfig_SetString(),
PyConfig_SetArgv() and PyConfig_Clear().
Add a new _PyCompilerFlags_INIT macro to initialize PyCompilerFlags
variables, rather than initializing cf_flags and cf_feature_version
explicitly in each variable.
Py_Main() and _Py_RunMain() now return the exitcode rather than
calling Py_Exit(exitcode) when calling PyErr_Print() if the current
exception type is SystemExit.
* Add _Py_HandleSystemExit().
* Add pymain_exit_err_print().
* Add pymain_exit_print().
Add new functions to get the Python interpreter behavior:
* _PyPreConfig_InitPythonConfig()
* _PyCoreConfig_InitPythonConfig()
Add new functions to get an isolated configuration:
* _PyPreConfig_InitIsolatedConfig()
* _PyCoreConfig_InitIsolatedConfig()
Replace _PyPreConfig_INIT and _PyCoreConfig_INIT with new functions
_PyPreConfig_Init() and _PyCoreConfig_Init().
_PyCoreConfig: set configure_c_stdio and parse_argv to 0 by default
to behave as Python 3.6 in the default configuration.
_PyCoreConfig_Read() no longer sets coerce_c_locale_warn to 1 if it's
equal to 0. coerce_c_locale_warn must now be set to -1 (ex: using
_PyCoreConfig_InitPythonConfig()) to enable C locale coercion
warning.
Add unit tests for _PyCoreConfig_InitPythonConfig()
and _PyCoreConfig_InitIsolatedConfig().
Changes:
* Rename _PyCoreConfig_GetCoreConfig() to _PyPreConfig_GetCoreConfig()
* Fix core_read_precmdline(): handle parse_argv=0
* Fix _Py_PreInitializeFromCoreConfig(): pass coreconfig.argv
to _Py_PreInitializeFromPyArgv(), except if parse_argv=0
* _PyCoreConfig_Read() doesn't parse nor update argv
if parse_argv is 0.
* Move path configuration fields in _PyCoreConfig.
* Add an unit test for parse_argv=0.
* Remove unused "done": label in _Py_RunMain().
We cannot use "unsigned int" for exitcode on Windows, since
Py_Main() and _Py_RunMain() always return an "int".
Changes:
* _PyPathConfig_ComputeSysPath0() now returns -1 if an exception is
raised.
* pymain_run_python() no longer uses _PyInitError but display the
exception and set exitcode to 1 in case of error.
* Fix _Py_RunMain(): return an exitcode rather than calling
exit() on pymain_run_python() failure.
* _Py_ExitInitError() no longer uses ExitProcess() on Windows, use
exit() on all platforms.
* _Py_ExitInitError() now fails with a fatal error if 'err' is not an
error not an exit.
_PyCoreConfig_SetPyArgv() and _PyCoreConfig_SetWideString() now
pre-initialize Python if needed to ensure that the locale encoding is
properly configured.
* Add _Py_PreInitializeFromPyArgv() internal function.
* Add 'args' parameter to _Py_PreInitializeFromCoreConfig()
* Remove _PyInitError.user_err field and _Py_INIT_USER_ERR() macro:
use _Py_INIT_ERR() instead. _Py_ExitInitError() now longer calls
abort() on error: exit with exit code 1 instead.
* Add _PyInitError._type private field.
* exitcode field type is now unsigned int on Windows.
* Rename prefix field to _func.
* Rename msg field to err_msg.
* Add _PyEval_FiniThreads2(). _PyEval_FiniThreads() now only clears
the pending lock, whereas _PyEval_FiniThreads2() destroys the GIL.
* pymain_free() now calls _PyEval_FiniThreads2().
* Py_FinalizeEx() now calls _PyEval_FiniThreads().
bpo-36443, bpo-36202: Since Python 3.7.0, calling Py_DecodeLocale()
before Py_Initialize() produces mojibake if the LC_CTYPE locale is
coerced and/or if the UTF-8 Mode is enabled by the user
configuration. This change fix the issue by disabling LC_CTYPE
coercion and UTF-8 Mode by default. They must now be enabled
explicitly (opt-in) using the new _Py_PreInitialize() API with
_PyPreConfig.
When embedding Python, set coerce_c_locale and utf8_mode attributes
of _PyPreConfig to -1 to enable automatically these parameters
depending on the LC_CTYPE locale, environment variables and command
line arguments
Alternative: Setting Py_UTF8Mode to 1 always explicitly enables the
UTF-8 Mode.
Changes:
* _PyPreConfig_INIT now sets coerce_c_locale and utf8_mode to 0 by
default.
* _Py_InitializeFromArgs() and _Py_InitializeFromWideArgs() can now
be called with config=NULL.
* _PyCoreConfig_Write() now updates _PyRuntime.preconfig
* Remove _PyPreCmdline_Copy()
* _PyPreCmdline_Read() now accepts _PyPreConfig and _PyCoreConfig
optional configurations.
* Rename _PyPreConfig_ReadFromArgv() to _PyPreConfig_Read(). Simplify
the code.
* Calling _PyCoreConfig_Read() no longer adds the warning options
twice: don't add a warning option if it's already in the list.
* Rename _PyCoreConfig_ReadFromArgv() to _PyCoreConfig_Read().
* Rename config_from_cmdline() to _PyCoreConfig_ReadFromArgv().
* Add more assertions on _PyCoreConfig in _PyCoreConfig_Read().
* Move some functions.
* Make some config functions private.
* Make _PyPreConfig_GetEnv(), _PyCoreConfig_GetEnv() and
_PyCoreConfig_GetEnvDup() private
* _Py_get_env_flag() first parameter becomes "int use_environment"
Prepare code to move some _PyPreConfig parameters into _PyPreCmdline.
Changes:
* _PyCoreConfig_ReadFromArgv(): remove preconfig parameter,
use _PyRuntime.preconfig.
* Add _PyPreCmdline_GetPreConfig() (called by _PyPreConfig_Read()).
* Rename _PyPreCmdline_Init() to _PyPreCmdline_SetArgv()
* Factorize _Py_PreInitializeFromPreConfig() code: add
pyinit_preinit().
* _PyPreConfig_Read() now sets coerce_c_locale to 2 if it must be
coerced.
* Remove _PyCoreConfig_ReadPreConfig().
* _PyCoreConfig_Write() now copies updated preconfig into _PyRuntime.
