* Implement _Py_HashPointerRaw() as a static inline function.
* Add Py_HashPointer() tests to test_capi.test_hash.
* Keep _Py_HashPointer() function as an alias to Py_HashPointer().
* No longer export most private _PyHash symbols, only export the ones
which are needed by shared extensions.
* Modules/_xxtestfuzz/fuzzer.c now uses the internal C API.
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.
Add a new _Py_HashPointerRaw() function which avoids replacing -1
with -2 to micro-optimize hash table using pointer keys: using
_Py_hashtable_hash_ptr() hash function.
gcc -Wcast-qual turns up a number of instances of casting away constness of pointers. Some of these can be safely modified, by either:
Adding the const to the type cast, as in:
- return _PyUnicode_FromUCS1((unsigned char*)s, size);
+ return _PyUnicode_FromUCS1((const unsigned char*)s, size);
or, Removing the cast entirely, because it's not necessary (but probably was at one time), as in:
- PyDTrace_FUNCTION_ENTRY((char *)filename, (char *)funcname, lineno);
+ PyDTrace_FUNCTION_ENTRY(filename, funcname, lineno);
These changes will not change code, but they will make it much easier to check for errors in consts
The hash implementation casts the input pointer to uint64_t* and directly reads
from this, which may cause unaligned accesses. Use memcpy() instead so this code
will not crash with SIGBUS on sparc.

Reference siphash takes the keys as a bytes, so it makes sense to byte swap
when reifying the keys as 64-bit integers. However, Python's siphash takes host
integers in to start with.
Python now supports checking bytecode cache up-to-dateness with a hash of the
source contents rather than volatile source metadata. See the PEP for details.
While a fairly straightforward idea, quite a lot of code had to be modified due
to the pervasiveness of pyc implementation details in the codebase. Changes in
this commit include:
- The core changes to importlib to understand how to read, validate, and
regenerate hash-based pycs.
- Support for generating hash-based pycs in py_compile and compileall.
- Modifications to our siphash implementation to support passing a custom
key. We then expose it to importlib through _imp.
- Updates to all places in the interpreter, standard library, and tests that
manually generate or parse pyc files to grok the new format.
- Support in the interpreter command line code for long options like
--check-hash-based-pycs.
- Tests and documentation for all of the above.
* 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.
