They are alternate constructors which only accept numbers
(including objects with special methods __float__, __complex__
and __index__), but not strings.
This PR removes `_Py_dg_stdnan` and `_Py_dg_infinity` in favour of
using the standard `NAN` and `INFINITY` macros provided by C99.
This change has the side-effect of fixing a bug on MIPS where the
hard-coded value used by `_Py_dg_stdnan` gave a signalling NaN
rather than a quiet NaN.

Add new functions to pack and unpack C double (serialize and
deserialize):
* PyFloat_Pack2(), PyFloat_Pack4(), PyFloat_Pack8()
* PyFloat_Unpack2(), PyFloat_Unpack4(), PyFloat_Unpack8()
Document these functions and add unit tests.
Rename private functions and move them from the internal C API
to the public C API:
* _PyFloat_Pack2() => PyFloat_Pack2()
* _PyFloat_Pack4() => PyFloat_Pack4()
* _PyFloat_Pack8() => PyFloat_Pack8()
* _PyFloat_Unpack2() => PyFloat_Unpack2()
* _PyFloat_Unpack4() => PyFloat_Unpack4()
* _PyFloat_Unpack8() => PyFloat_Unpack8()
Replace the "unsigned char*" type with "char*" which is more common
and easy to use.
Remove the undocumented private float.__set_format__() method,
previously known as float.__set_format__() in Python 3.7. Its
docstring said: "You probably don't want to use this function. It
exists mainly to be used in Python's test suite."
* Constructors of subclasses of some buitin classes (e.g. tuple, list,
frozenset) no longer accept arbitrary keyword arguments.
* Subclass of set can now define a __new__() method with additional
keyword parameters without overriding also __init__().
Fix an assertion error in format() in debug build for floating point
formatting with "n" format, zero padding and small width. Release build is
not impacted. Patch by Karthikeyan Singaravelan.
`_PyUnicode_TransformDecimalAndSpaceToASCII()` missed trailing NUL char.
It caused buffer overflow in `_Py_string_to_number_with_underscores()`.
This bug is introduced in 9b6c60cb.
This undoes a853a8ba78 except for the pytime.c
parts. We want to continue to allow IEEE 754 doubles larger than FLT_MAX to be
rounded into finite floats. Tests were added to very this behavior.
The deprecation warning is emitted if __float__ returns an instance of
a strict subclass of float. In a future versions of Python this can
be an error.
This avoids possible buffer overreads when int(), float(), compile(), exec()
and eval() are passed bytes-like objects. Similar code is removed from the
complex() constructor, where it was not reachable.
Patch by John Leitch, Serhiy Storchaka and Martin Panter.
I have compared output between pre- and post-patch runs of these tests
to make sure there's nothing missing and nothing broken, on both
Windows and Linux. The only differences I found were actually tests
that were previously *not* run.
