This PR adds the ability to enable the GIL if it was disabled at
interpreter startup, and modifies the multi-phase module initialization
path to enable the GIL when loading a module, unless that module's spec
includes a slot indicating it can run safely without the GIL.
PEP 703 called the constant for the slot `Py_mod_gil_not_used`; I went
with `Py_MOD_GIL_NOT_USED` for consistency with gh-104148.
A warning will be issued up to once per interpreter for the first
GIL-using module that is loaded. If `-v` is given, a shorter message
will be printed to stderr every time a GIL-using module is loaded
(including the first one that issues a warning).
Add Py_GetConstant() and Py_GetConstantBorrowed() functions.
In the limited C API version 3.13, getting Py_None, Py_False,
Py_True, Py_Ellipsis and Py_NotImplemented singletons is now
implemented as function calls at the stable ABI level to hide
implementation details. Getting these constants still return borrowed
references.
Add _testlimitedcapi/object.c and test_capi/test_object.py to test
Py_GetConstant() and Py_GetConstantBorrowed() functions.
* Split long.c tests of _testcapi into two parts: limited C API tests
in _testlimitedcapi and non-limited C API tests in _testcapi.
* Move testcapi_long.h from Modules/_testcapi/ to
Modules/_testlimitedcapi/.
* Add MODULE__TESTLIMITEDCAPI_DEPS to Makefile.pre.in.
Split unicode.c tests of _testcapi into two parts: limited C API
tests in _testlimitedcapi and non-limited C API tests in _testcapi.
Update test_codecs.
Split abstract.c and float.c tests of _testcapi into two parts:
limited C API tests in _testlimitedcapi and non-limited C API tests
in _testcapi.
Update test_bytes and test_class.
Move the following files from Modules/_testcapi/ to
Modules/_testlimitedcapi/:
* bytearray.c
* bytes.c
* pyos.c
* sys.c
Changes:
* Replace PyBytes_AS_STRING() with PyBytes_AsString().
* Replace PyBytes_GET_SIZE() with PyBytes_Size().
* Update related test_capi tests.
* Copy Modules/_testcapi/util.h to Modules/_testlimitedcapi/util.h.
Add a new C extension "_testlimitedcapi" which is only built with the
limited C API.
Move heaptype_relative.c and vectorcall_limited.c from
Modules/_testcapi/ to Modules/_testlimitedcapi/.
* configure: add _testlimitedcapi test extension.
* Update generate_stdlib_module_names.py.
* Update make check-c-globals.
