Several built-in and standard library types now ensure that their internal result tuples are always tracked by the garbage collector:
- collections.OrderedDict.items
- dict.items
- enumerate
- functools.reduce
- itertools.combinations
- itertools.combinations_with_replacement
- itertools.permutations
- itertools.product
- itertools.zip_longest
- zip
Previously, they could have become untracked by a prior garbage collection.
No longer use deprecated aliases to functions:
* Replace PyObject_MALLOC() with PyObject_Malloc()
* Replace PyObject_REALLOC() with PyObject_Realloc()
* Replace PyObject_FREE() with PyObject_Free()
* Replace PyObject_Del() with PyObject_Free()
* Replace PyObject_DEL() with PyObject_Free()
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().
If PyDict_GetItemWithError is only used to check whether the key is in dict,
it is better to use PyDict_Contains instead.
And if it is used in combination with PyDict_SetItem, PyDict_SetDefault can
replace the combination.
These functions are considered not safe because they suppress all internal errors
and can return wrong result. PyDict_GetItemString and _PyDict_GetItemId can
also silence current exception in rare cases.
Remove no longer used _PyDict_GetItemId.
Add _PyDict_ContainsId and rename _PyDict_Contains into
_PyDict_Contains_KnownHash.
Each interpreter now has its own dict free list:
* Move dict free lists into PyInterpreterState.
* Move PyDict_MAXFREELIST define to pycore_interp.h
* Add _Py_dict_state structure.
* Add tstate parameter to _PyDict_ClearFreeList() and _PyDict_Fini().
* In debug mode, ensure that the dict free lists are not used after
_PyDict_Fini() is called.
* Remove "#ifdef EXPERIMENTAL_ISOLATED_SUBINTERPRETERS".
Avoid unnecessary overhead in _PyDict_GetItemIdWithError() by calling
_PyDict_GetItem_KnownHash() instead of the more generic PyDict_GetItemWithError(),
since we already know the hash of interned strings.
When Python is built with experimental isolated interpreters, disable
tuple, dict and free free lists.
Temporary workaround until these caches are made per-interpreter.
Add frame_alloc() and frame_get_builtins() subfunctions to simplify
_PyFrame_New_NoTrack().
Remove the following function from the C API:
* PyAsyncGen_ClearFreeLists()
* PyContext_ClearFreeList()
* PyDict_ClearFreeList()
* PyFloat_ClearFreeList()
* PyFrame_ClearFreeList()
* PyList_ClearFreeList()
* PySet_ClearFreeList()
* PyTuple_ClearFreeList()
Make these functions private, move them to the internal C API and
change their return type to void.
Call explicitly PyGC_Collect() to free all free lists.
Note: PySet_ClearFreeList() did nothing.
This implements things like `list[int]`,
which returns an object of type `types.GenericAlias`.
This object mostly acts as a proxy for `list`,
but has attributes `__origin__` and `__args__`
that allow recovering the parts (with values `list` and `(int,)`.
There is also an approximate notion of type variables;
e.g. `list[T]` has a `__parameters__` attribute equal to `(T,)`.
Type variables are objects of type `typing.TypeVar`.

* Remove _Py_INC_REFTOTAL and _Py_DEC_REFTOTAL macros: modify
directly _Py_RefTotal.
* _Py_ForgetReference() is no longer defined if the Py_TRACE_REFS
macro is not defined.
* Remove _Py_NewReference() implementation from object.c:
unify the two implementations in object.h inline function.
* Fix Py_TRACE_REFS build: _Py_INC_TPALLOCS() macro has been removed.
bpo-36389, bpo-38376: The _PyObject_CheckConsistency() function is
now also available in release mode. For example, it can be used to
debug a crash in the visit_decref() function of the GC.
Modify the following functions to also work in release mode:
* _PyDict_CheckConsistency()
* _PyObject_CheckConsistency()
* _PyType_CheckConsistency()
* _PyUnicode_CheckConsistency()
Other changes:
* _PyMem_IsPtrFreed(ptr) now also returns 1 if ptr is NULL
(equals to 0).
* _PyBytesWriter_CheckConsistency() now returns 1 and is only used
with assert().
* Reorder _PyObject_Dump() to write safe fields first, and only
attempt to render repr() at the end.
In ArgumentClinic, value "NULL" should now be used only for unrepresentable default values
(like in the optional third parameter of getattr). "None" should be used if None is accepted
as argument and passing None has the same effect as not passing the argument at all.
Add new trashcan macros to deal with a double deallocation that could occur when the `tp_dealloc` of a subclass calls the `tp_dealloc` of a base class and that base class uses the trashcan mechanism.
Patch by Jeroen Demeyer.
Add a new _PyObject_CheckConsistency() function which can be used to
help debugging. The function is available in release mode.
Add a 'check_content' parameter to _PyDict_CheckConsistency().
Fix invalid function cast warnings with gcc 8
for method conventions different from METH_NOARGS, METH_O and
METH_VARARGS excluding Argument Clinic generated code.
If Py_BUILD_CORE is defined, the PyThreadState_GET() macro access
_PyRuntime which comes from the internal pycore_state.h header.
Public headers must not require internal headers.
Move PyThreadState_GET() and _PyInterpreterState_GET_UNSAFE() from
Include/pystate.h to Include/internal/pycore_state.h, and rename
PyThreadState_GET() to _PyThreadState_GET() there.
The PyThreadState_GET() macro of pystate.h is now redefined when
pycore_state.h is included, to use the fast _PyThreadState_GET().
Changes:
* Add _PyThreadState_GET() macro
* Replace "PyThreadState_GET()->interp" with
_PyInterpreterState_GET_UNSAFE()
* Replace PyThreadState_GET() with _PyThreadState_GET() in internal C
files (compiled with Py_BUILD_CORE defined), but keep
PyThreadState_GET() in the public header files.
* _testcapimodule.c: replace PyThreadState_GET() with
PyThreadState_Get(); the module is not compiled with Py_BUILD_CORE
defined.
* pycore_state.h now requires Py_BUILD_CORE to be defined.
* Remove _PyThreadState_Current
* Replace GET_TSTATE() with PyThreadState_GET()
* Replace GET_INTERP_STATE() with _PyInterpreterState_GET_UNSAFE()
* Replace direct access to _PyThreadState_Current with
PyThreadState_GET()
* Replace _PyThreadState_Current with
_PyRuntime.gilstate.tstate_current
* Rename SET_TSTATE() to _PyThreadState_SET(), name more
consistent with _PyThreadState_GET()
* Update outdated comments
Use _PyObject_ASSERT() in:
* _PyDict_CheckConsistency()
* _PyType_CheckConsistency()
* _PyUnicode_CheckConsistency()
_PyObject_ASSERT() dumps the faulty object if the assertion fails
to help debugging.
When dict subclass overrides order (`__iter__()`, `keys()`, and `items()`), `dict(o)`
should use it instead of dict ordering.
https://bugs.python.org/issue34320
METH_NOARGS functions need only a single argument but they are cast
into a PyCFunction, which takes two arguments. This triggers an
invalid function cast warning in gcc8 due to the argument mismatch.
Fix this by adding a dummy unused argument.
Fix clang ubsan (undefined behavior sanitizer) warnings in dictobject.c by
adjusting how the internal struct _dictkeysobject shared keys structure is
declared.
This remains ABI compatible. We get rid of the union at the end of the
struct being used for conveinence to avoid typecasting in favor of char[]
variable length array at the end of a struct. This is known to clang to be
used for variable sized objects and will not cause an undefined behavior
problem. Similarly, char arrays do not have strict aliasing undefined
behavior when cast.
PEP-007 does not currently list variable length arrays (VLAs) as allowed
in our subset of C99. If this turns out to be a problem, the fix to this is
to change the char `dk_indices[]` into `dk_indices[1]` and restore the
three size computation subtractions this change removes:
`- Py_MEMBER_SIZE(PyDictKeysObject, dk_indices)`
If this works as is I'll make a separate PR to update PEP-007.
dictview_repr(): Use a Py_ReprEnter() / Py_ReprLeave() pair to check
for recursion, and produce "..." if so.
test_recursive_repr(): Check for the string rather than a
RecursionError. (Test cannot be any tighter as contents are
implementation-dependent.)
test_deeply_nested_repr(): Add new test, replacing the original
test_recursive_repr(). It checks that a RecursionError is raised in
the case of a non-recursive but deeply nested structure. (Very
similar to what test_repr_deep() in test/test_dict.py does for a
normal dict.)
OrderedDictTests: Add new test case, to test behavior on OrderedDict
instances containing their own values() or items().
* Add Py_UNREACHABLE() as an alias to abort().
* Use Py_UNREACHABLE() instead of assert(0)
* Convert more unreachable code to use Py_UNREACHABLE()
* Document Py_UNREACHABLE() and a few other macros.
* group the (stateful) runtime globals into various topical structs
* consolidate the topical structs under a single top-level _PyRuntimeState struct
* add a check-c-globals.py script that helps identify runtime globals
Other globals are excluded (see globals.txt and check-c-globals.py).
Make a non-Py_DEBUG, asserts-enabled build of CPython possible. This means
making sure helper functions are defined when NDEBUG is not defined, not
just when Py_DEBUG is defined.
Also fix a division-by-zero in obmalloc.c that went unnoticed because in Py_DEBUG mode, elsize is never zero.
Issue #29311: dict.get() and dict.setdefault() methods now use Argument Clinic
to parse arguments. Their calling convention changes from METH_VARARGS to
METH_FASTCALL which avoids the creation of a temporary tuple.
The signature of docstrings is also enhanced. For example,
get(...)
becomes:
get(self, key, default=None, /)
Issue #28858: The change b9c9691c72c5 introduced a regression. It seems like
_PyObject_CallArg1() uses more stack memory than
PyObject_CallFunctionObjArgs().
* PyObject_CallFunctionObjArgs(func, NULL) => _PyObject_CallNoArg(func)
* PyObject_CallFunctionObjArgs(func, arg, NULL) => _PyObject_CallArg1(func, arg)
PyObject_CallFunctionObjArgs() allocates 40 bytes on the C stack and requires
extra work to "parse" C arguments to build a C array of PyObject*.
_PyObject_CallNoArg() and _PyObject_CallArg1() are simpler and don't allocate
memory on the C stack.
This change is part of the fastcall project. The change on listsort() is
related to the issue #23507.
Issue #28127: Add a function to check that a dictionary remains consistent
after any change.
By default, tables are not checked, only basic attributes. Define DEBUG_PYDICT
(ex: gcc -D DEBUG_PYDICT) to also check dictionary "content".
Issue #28040: Fix _PyDict_DelItem_KnownHash() and _PyDict_Pop(): convert
splitted table to combined table to be able to delete the item.
Write an unit test for the issue.
Patch by INADA Naoki.
Issue #26058: Add a new private version to the builtin dict type, incremented
at each dictionary creation and at each dictionary change.
Implementation of the PEP 509.
Issue #27350: `dict` implementation is changed like PyPy. It is more compact
and preserves insertion order.
_PyDict_Dummy() function has been removed.
Disable test_gdb: python-gdb.py is not updated yet to the new structure of
compact dictionaries (issue #28023).
Patch written by INADA Naoki.
Issue #26154: Add a new private _PyThreadState_UncheckedGet() function which
gets the current thread state, but don't call Py_FatalError() if it is NULL.
Python 3.5.1 removed the _PyThreadState_Current symbol from the Python C API to
no more expose complex and private atomic types. Atomic types depends on the
compiler or can even depend on compiler options. The new function
_PyThreadState_UncheckedGet() allows to get the variable value without having
to care of the exact implementation of atomic types.
Changes:
* Replace direct usage of the _PyThreadState_Current variable with a call to
_PyThreadState_UncheckedGet().
* In pystate.c, replace direct usage of the _PyThreadState_Current variable
with the PyThreadState_GET() macro for readability.
* Document also PyThreadState_Get() in pystate.h
Don't fallback to PyDict_GetItemWithError() if the hash is unknown: compute the
hash instead. Add also comments to explain the optimization a little bit.
The new syntax is highly human readable while still preventing false
positives. The syntax also extends Python syntax to denote "self" and
positional-only parameters, allowing inspect.Signature objects to be
totally accurate for all supported builtins in Python 3.4.
annotate text signatures in docstrings, resulting in fewer false
positives. "self" parameters are also explicitly marked, allowing
inspect.Signature() to authoritatively detect (and skip) said parameters.
Issue #20326: Argument Clinic now generates separate checksums for the
input and output sections of the block, allowing external tools to verify
that the input has not changed (and thus the output is not out-of-date).
PyMethodDescr_Type, _PyMethodWrapper_Type, and PyWrapperDescr_Type)
have been modified to provide introspection information for builtins.
Also: many additional Lib, test suite, and Argument Clinic fixes.
