⚠️⚠️ Note for reviewers, hackers and fellow systems/low-level/compiler engineers ⚠️⚠️
If you have a lot of experience with this kind of shenanigans and want to improve the **first** version, **please make a PR against my branch** or **reach out by email** or **suggest code changes directly on GitHub**.
If you have any **refinements or optimizations** please, wait until the first version is merged before starting hacking or proposing those so we can keep this PR productive.
- support EMSDK tot-upstream and git releases
- allow WASM assents for wasm64-emscripten and WASI. This makes single file distributions on WASI easier.
- decouple WASM assets from browser builds
* Add support for the BOLT post-link binary optimizer
Using [bolt](https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/tree/main/bolt)
provides a fairly large speedup without any code or functionality
changes. It provides roughly a 1% speedup on pyperformance, and a
4% improvement on the Pyston web macrobenchmarks.
It is gated behind an `--enable-bolt` configure arg because not all
toolchains and environments are supported. It has been tested on a
Linux x86_64 toolchain, using llvm-bolt built from the LLVM 14.0.6
sources (their binary distribution of this version did not include bolt).
Compared to [a previous attempt](https://github.com/faster-cpython/ideas/issues/224),
this commit uses bolt's preferred "instrumentation" approach, as well as adds some non-PIE
flags which enable much better optimizations from bolt.
The effects of this change are a bit more dependent on CPU microarchitecture
than other changes, since it optimizes i-cache behavior which seems
to be a bit more variable between architectures. The 1%/4% numbers
were collected on an Intel Skylake CPU, and on an AMD Zen 3 CPU I
got a slightly larger speedup (2%/4%), and on a c6i.xlarge EC2 instance
I got a slightly lower speedup (1%/3%).
The low speedup on pyperformance is not entirely unexpected, because
BOLT improves i-cache behavior, and the benchmarks in the pyperformance
suite are small and tend to fit in i-cache.
This change uses the existing pgo profiling task (`python -m test --pgo`),
though I was able to measure about a 1% macrobenchmark improvement by
using the macrobenchmarks as the training task. I personally think that
both the PGO and BOLT tasks should be updated to use macrobenchmarks,
but for the sake of splitting up the work this PR uses the existing pgo task.

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).
Remove the "configure --with-cxx-main" build option: it didn't work
for many years. Remove the MAINCC variable from configure and
Makefile.
The MAINCC variable was added by the issue gh-42471: commit
0f48d98b74. Previously, --with-cxx-main
was named --with-cxx.
Keep CXX and LDCXXSHARED variables, even if they are no longer used
by Python build system.
* gh-95218: Move tests for importlib.resources into test_importlib.resources.
* Also update makefile
* Include test_importlib/resources in code ownership rule.
The `_testcapimodule.c` file is getting too large to work with effectively.
This PR lays out a general structure of how tests can be split up, with more splitting to come later if the structure is OK.
Vectorcall tests aren't the biggest issue -- it's just an area I want to work on next, so I'm starting here.
An issue specific to vectorcall tests is that it wasn't clear that e.g. `MethodDescriptor2` is related to testing vectorcall: the `/* Test PEP 590 */` section had an ambiguous end. Separate file should make things like this much clearer.
OTOH, for some pieces it might not be clear where they should be -- I left `meth_fastcall` with tests of the other calling conventions. IMO, even with the ambiguity it's still worth it to split the huge file up.
I'm not sure about the buildsystem changes, hopefully CI will tell me what's wrong.
@vstinner, @markshannon: Do you think this is a good idea?

Add script ``Tools/scripts/check_modules.py`` to check and validate builtin
and shared extension modules. The script also handles ``Modules/Setup`` and
will eventually replace ``setup.py``.

It makes it easier to look for module states in sysconfig without
special casing suffixes "_CFLAGS", "_DEPS", "_LDFLAGS", "_OBJS",
and "CTYPES_MALLOC_CLOSURE".
* Move Lib/tkinter/test/test_tkinter/ to Lib/test/test_tkinter/.
* Move Lib/tkinter/test/test_ttk/ to Lib/test/test_ttk/.
* Add Lib/test/test_ttk/__init__.py based on test_ttk_guionly.py.
* Add Lib/test/test_tkinter/__init__.py
* Remove old Lib/test/test_tk.py.
* Remove old Lib/test/test_ttk_guionly.py.
* Add __main__ sub-modules.
* Update imports and update references to rename files.
* Move Lib/lib2to3/tests/ to Lib/test/test_lib2to3/.
* Remove Lib/test/test_lib2to3.py.
* Update imports.
* all_project_files(): use different paths and sort files
to make the tests more reproducible.
* Update references to tests.
Move the follow functions and type from frameobject.h to pyframe.h,
so the standard <Python.h> provide frame getter functions:
* PyFrame_Check()
* PyFrame_GetBack()
* PyFrame_GetBuiltins()
* PyFrame_GetGenerator()
* PyFrame_GetGlobals()
* PyFrame_GetLasti()
* PyFrame_GetLocals()
* PyFrame_Type
Remove #include "frameobject.h" from many C files. It's no longer
needed.
All install targets use the "all" target as synchronization point to
prevent race conditions with PGO builds. PGO builds use recursive make,
which can lead to two parallel `./python setup.py build` processes that
step on each others toes.
"test" targets now correctly compile PGO build in a clean repo.
Remove the token.h header file. There was never any public tokenizer
C API. The token.h header file was only designed to be used by Python
internals.
Move Include/token.h to Include/internal/pycore_token.h. Including
this header file now requires that the Py_BUILD_CORE macro is
defined. It no longer checks for the Py_LIMITED_API macro.
Rename functions:
* PyToken_OneChar() => _PyToken_OneChar()
* PyToken_TwoChars() => _PyToken_TwoChars()
* PyToken_ThreeChars() => _PyToken_ThreeChars()
`HOSTRUNNER` is a program which can be used to run `BUILDPYTHON` for the host platform (for example, `python.js` requires `node`).
Also change depedencies from `build_all` to `all` so that targets which can't build everything (e.g. WASM) can still run `buildbottest` and `pythoninfo`.

Move the following API from Include/opcode.h (public C API) to a new
Include/internal/pycore_opcode.h header file (internal C API):
* EXTRA_CASES
* _PyOpcode_Caches
* _PyOpcode_Deopt
* _PyOpcode_Jump
* _PyOpcode_OpName
* _PyOpcode_RelativeJump
Fix signal.NSIG value on FreeBSD to accept signal numbers greater
than 32, like signal.SIGRTMIN and signal.SIGRTMAX.
* Add Py_NSIG constant.
* Add pycore_signal.h internal header file.
* _Py_Sigset_Converter() now includes the range of valid signals in
the error message.
- drop unnecessary ``=1`` suffix from Emscripten flags
- drop unnecessary ``-sWASM`` flag for side modules
- rename ``build_platform`` to ``build_wasm``. I introduced the target
for WASM builds a couple of months ago.
- fix ``--enable-test-modules`` for browser builds
* Move the code for generating Modules/_sre/sre_constants.h from
Lib/re/_constants.py into a separate script
Tools/scripts/generate_sre_constants.py.
* Add target `regen-sre` in the makefile.
* Make target `regen-all` depending on `regen-sre`.
Remove the Include/code.h header file. C extensions should only
include the main <Python.h> header file.
Python.h includes directly Include/cpython/code.h instead.
