Remove <ctype.h> in C files which don't use it; only sre.c and
_decimal.c still use it.
Remove _PY_PORT_CTYPE_UTF8_ISSUE code from pyport.h:
* Code added by commit b5047fd019
in 2004 for MacOSX and FreeBSD.
* Test removed by commit 52ddaefb6b
in 2007, since Python str type now uses locale independent
functions like Py_ISALPHA() and Py_TOLOWER() and the Unicode
database.
Modules/_sre/sre.c replaces _PY_PORT_CTYPE_UTF8_ISSUE with new
functions: sre_isalnum(), sre_tolower(), sre_toupper().
Remove unused includes:
* _localemodule.c: remove <stdio.h>.
* getargs.c: remove <float.h>.
* dynload_win.c: remove <direct.h>, it no longer calls _getcwd()
since commit fb1f68ed7c (in 2001).
Move these private functions to the internal C API
(pycore_abstract.h):
* _Py_convert_optional_to_ssize_t()
* _PyNumber_Index()
Argument Clinic now emits #include "pycore_abstract.h" when these
functions are used.
The parser of the c-analyzer tool now uses a list of files which use
the limited C API, rather than a list of files using the internal C
API.
Remove the internal _PyDict_GetItemStringWithError() function. It can
now be replaced with the new public PyDict_ContainsString() and
PyDict_GetItemStringRef() functions.
getargs.c now now uses a strong reference for current_arg.
find_keyword() returns a strong reference.
Move private _PyDict functions to the internal C API (pycore_dict.h):
* _PyDict_Contains_KnownHash()
* _PyDict_DebugMallocStats()
* _PyDict_DelItemIf()
* _PyDict_GetItemWithError()
* _PyDict_HasOnlyStringKeys()
* _PyDict_MaybeUntrack()
* _PyDict_MergeEx()
No longer export these functions.
We only statically initialize for core code and builtin modules. Extension modules still create
the tuple at runtime. We'll solve that part of interpreter isolation separately.
This change includes generated code. The non-generated changes are in:
* Tools/clinic/clinic.py
* Python/getargs.c
* Include/cpython/modsupport.h
* Makefile.pre.in (re-generate global strings after running clinic)
* very minor tweaks to Modules/_codecsmodule.c and Python/Python-tokenize.c
All other changes are generated code (clinic, global strings).
When keyword argument name is an instance of a str subclass with
overloaded methods __eq__ and __hash__, the former code could not find
the name of an extraneous keyword argument to report an error, and
_PyArg_UnpackKeywords() returned success without setting the
corresponding cell in the linearized arguments array. But since the number
of expected initialized cells is determined as the total number of passed
arguments, this lead to reading NULL as a keyword parameter value, that
caused SystemError or crash or other undesired behavior.
No longer use deprecated aliases to functions:
* Replace PyMem_MALLOC() with PyMem_Malloc()
* Replace PyMem_REALLOC() with PyMem_Realloc()
* Replace PyMem_FREE() with PyMem_Free()
* Replace PyMem_Del() with PyMem_Free()
* Replace PyMem_DEL() with PyMem_Free()
Modify also the PyMem_DEL() macro to use directly PyMem_Free().
The PY_SSIZE_T_CLEAN macro must now be defined to use
PyArg_ParseTuple() and Py_BuildValue() "#" formats: "es#", "et#",
"s#", "u#", "y#", "z#", "U#" and "Z#". See the PEP 353.
Update _testcapi.test_buildvalue_issue38913().
The PEP 353, written in 2005, introduced PY_FORMAT_SIZE_T. Python no
longer supports macOS 10.4 and Visual Studio 2010, but requires more
recent macOS and Visual Studio versions. In 2020 with Python 3.10, it
is now safe to use directly "%zu" to format size_t and "%zi" to
format Py_ssize_t.
Previously, the result could have been an instance of a subclass of int.
Also revert bpo-26202 and make attributes start, stop and step of the range
object having exact type int.
Add private function _PyNumber_Index() which preserves the old behavior
of PyNumber_Index() for performance to use it in the conversion functions
like PyLong_AsLong().
All keywords should first be checked for pointer identity. Only
after that failed for all keywords (unlikely) should unicode
equality be used.
The original code would call unicode equality on any non-matching
keyword argument. Meaning calling it often e.g. when a function
has many kwargs but only the last one is provided.
The fact that keyword names are strings is now part of the vectorcall and `METH_FASTCALL` protocols. The biggest concrete change is that `_PyStack_UnpackDict` now checks that and raises `TypeError` if not.
