Issue #26530:
* Add C functions _PyTraceMalloc_Track() and _PyTraceMalloc_Untrack() to track
memory blocks using the tracemalloc module.
* Add _PyTraceMalloc_GetTraceback() to get the traceback of an object.
Issue #26563: Debug hooks on Python memory allocators now raise a fatal error
if functions of the PyMem_Malloc() family are called without holding the GIL.
Issue #26516:
* Add PYTHONMALLOC environment variable to set the Python memory
allocators and/or install debug hooks.
* PyMem_SetupDebugHooks() can now also be used on Python compiled in release
mode.
* The PYTHONMALLOCSTATS environment variable can now also be used on Python
compiled in release mode. It now has no effect if set to an empty string.
* In debug mode, debug hooks are now also installed on Python memory allocators
when Python is configured without pymalloc.
Issue #25274: sys.setrecursionlimit() now raises a RecursionError if the new
recursion limit is too low depending at the current recursion depth. Modify
also the "lower-water mark" formula to make it monotonic. This mark is used to
decide when the overflowed flag of the thread state is reset.
datetime.datetime now round microseconds to nearest with ties going to nearest
even integer (ROUND_HALF_EVEN), as round(float), instead of rounding towards
-Infinity (ROUND_FLOOR).
pytime API: replace _PyTime_ROUND_HALF_UP with _PyTime_ROUND_HALF_EVEN. Fix
also _PyTime_Divide() for negative numbers.
_PyTime_AsTimeval_impl() now reuses _PyTime_Divide() instead of reimplementing
rounding modes.
Known limitations of the current implementation:
- documentation changes are incomplete
- there's a reference leak I haven't tracked down yet
The leak is most visible by running:
./python -m test -R3:3 test_importlib
However, you can also see it by running:
./python -X showrefcount
Importing the array or _testmultiphase modules, and
then deleting them from both sys.modules and the local
namespace shows significant increases in the total
number of active references each cycle. By contrast,
with _testcapi (which continues to use single-phase
initialisation) the global refcounts stabilise after
a couple of cycles.
* _PyTime_AsTimeval() now ensures that tv_usec is always positive
* _PyTime_AsTimespec() now ensures that tv_nsec is always positive
* _PyTime_AsTimeval() now returns an integer on overflow instead of raising an
exception
* Rename _PyTime_FromObject() to _PyTime_FromSecondsObject()
* Add _PyTime_AsNanosecondsObject() and _testcapi.pytime_fromsecondsobject()
* Add unit tests
which returned an invalid result (result+error or no result without error) in
the exception message.
Add also unit test to check that the exception contains the name of the
function.
Special case: the final _PyEval_EvalFrameEx() check doesn't mention the
function since it didn't execute a single function but a whole frame.
