* Never change types' cached keys. It could invalidate inline attribute objects.
* Lazily create object dictionaries.
* Update specialization of LOAD/STORE_ATTR.
* Don't update shared keys version for deletion of value.
* Update gdb support to handle instance values.
* Rename SPLIT_KEYS opcodes to INSTANCE_VALUE.
Instead of explicitly enumerate test classes for run_unittest()
use the unittest ability to discover tests. This also makes these
tests discoverable and runnable with unittest.
load_tests() can be used for dynamic generating tests and adding
doctests. setUpModule(), tearDownModule() and addModuleCleanup()
can be used for running code before and after all module tests.
Fix a crash at Python exit when a deallocator function removes the
last strong reference to a heap type.
Don't read type memory after calling basedealloc() since
basedealloc() can deallocate the type and free its memory.
_PyMem_IsPtrFreed() argument is now constant.
Currently if any finalizer invoked during garbage collection resurrects any object, the gc gives up and aborts the collection. Although finalizers are assured to only run once per object, this behaviour of the gc can lead to an ever-increasing memory situation if new resurrecting objects are allocated in every new gc collection.
To avoid this, recompute what objects among the unreachable set need to be resurrected and what objects can be safely collected. In this way, resurrecting objects will not block the collection of other objects in the unreachable set.
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.
Changes:
* Add _PyObject_AssertFailed() function.
* Add _PyObject_ASSERT() and _PyObject_ASSERT_WITH_MSG() macros.
* gc_decref(): replace assert() with _PyObject_ASSERT_WITH_MSG() to
dump the faulty object if the assertion fails.
_PyObject_AssertFailed() calls:
* _PyMem_DumpTraceback(): try to log the traceback where the object
memory has been allocated if tracemalloc is enabled.
* _PyObject_Dump(): log repr(obj).
* Py_FatalError(): log the current Python traceback.
_PyObject_AssertFailed() uses _PyObject_IsFreed() heuristic to check
if the object memory has been freed by a debug hook on Python memory
allocators.

Freeze all the objects tracked by gc - move them to a permanent generation
and ignore all the future collections. This can be used before a POSIX
fork() call to make the gc copy-on-write friendly or to speed up collection.
sporadic crashes in multi-thread programs when several long deallocator
chains ran concurrently and involved subclasses of built-in container
types.
Because of this change, a couple extension modules compiled for 3.2.4
(those which use the trashcan mechanism, despite it being undocumented)
will not be loadable by 3.2.3 and earlier. However, extension modules
compiled for 3.2.3 and earlier will be loadable by 3.2.4.
Various tests fail when run under coverage. A primary culprit is refcount tests
which fail as the counts are thrown off by the coverage code. A new decorator
-- test.support.refcount_test -- is used to decorate tests which test refcounts
and to skip them when running under coverage. Other tests simply fail because
of changes in the system (e.g., __local__ suddenly appearing).
Thanks to Kristian Vlaardingerbroek for helping to diagnose the test failures.
