* Add timezone to datetime C API
* Add documentation for timezone C API macros
* Add dedicated tests for datetime type check macros
* Remove superfluous C API test
* Drop support for TimeZoneType in datetime C API
* Expose UTC singleton to the datetime C API
* Update datetime C-API documentation to include links
* Add reference count information for timezone constructors
PyUnicode_DecodeLocaleAndSize(), PyUnicode_DecodeLocale() and
PyUnicode_EncodeLocale() now use always use the UTF-8 encoding on
Android, instead of the current locale encoding.
On Android API 19, mbstowcs() and wcstombs() are broken and cannot be
used.
Modify locale.localeconv(), time.tzname, os.strerror() and other
functions to ignore the UTF-8 Mode: always use the current locale
encoding.
Changes:
* Add _Py_DecodeLocaleEx() and _Py_EncodeLocaleEx(). On decoding or
encoding error, they return the position of the error and an error
message which are used to raise Unicode errors in
PyUnicode_DecodeLocale() and PyUnicode_EncodeLocale().
* Replace _Py_DecodeCurrentLocale() with _Py_DecodeLocaleEx().
* PyUnicode_DecodeLocale() now uses _Py_DecodeLocaleEx() for all
cases, especially for the strict error handler.
* Add _Py_DecodeUTF8Ex(): return more information on decoding error
and supports the strict error handler.
* Rename _Py_EncodeUTF8_surrogateescape() to _Py_EncodeUTF8Ex().
* Replace _Py_EncodeCurrentLocale() with _Py_EncodeLocaleEx().
* Ignore the UTF-8 mode to encode/decode localeconv(), strerror()
and time zone name.
* Remove PyUnicode_DecodeLocale(), PyUnicode_DecodeLocaleAndSize()
and PyUnicode_EncodeLocale() now ignore the UTF-8 mode: always use
the "current" locale.
* Remove _PyUnicode_DecodeCurrentLocale(),
_PyUnicode_DecodeCurrentLocaleAndSize() and
_PyUnicode_EncodeCurrentLocale().
* Add -X utf8 command line option, PYTHONUTF8 environment variable
and a new sys.flags.utf8_mode flag.
* If the LC_CTYPE locale is "C" at startup: enable automatically the
UTF-8 mode.
* Add _winapi.GetACP(). encodings._alias_mbcs() now calls
_winapi.GetACP() to get the ANSI code page
* locale.getpreferredencoding() now returns 'UTF-8' in the UTF-8
mode. As a side effect, open() now uses the UTF-8 encoding by
default in this mode.
* Py_DecodeLocale() and Py_EncodeLocale() now use the UTF-8 encoding
in the UTF-8 Mode.
* Update subprocess._args_from_interpreter_flags() to handle -X utf8
* Skip some tests relying on the current locale if the UTF-8 mode is
enabled.
* Add test_utf8mode.py.
* _Py_DecodeUTF8_surrogateescape() gets a new optional parameter to
return also the length (number of wide characters).
* pymain_get_global_config() and pymain_set_global_config() now
always copy flag values, rather than only copying if the new value
is greater than the old value.
_PyPathConfig_Init() now also initialize home and program_name:
* Rename existing _PyPathConfig_Init() to _PyPathConfig_Calculate().
Add a new _PyPathConfig_Init() function in pathconfig.c which
handles the _Py_path_config variable and call
_PyPathConfig_Calculate().
* Add home and program_name fields to _PyPathConfig.home
* _PyPathConfig_Init() now initialize home and program_name
from main_config
* Py_SetProgramName(), Py_SetPythonHome() and Py_GetPythonHome() now
calls Py_FatalError() on failure, instead of silently ignoring
failures.
* config_init_home() now gets directly _Py_path_config.home to only
get the value set by Py_SetPythonHome(), or NULL if
Py_SetPythonHome() was not called.
* config_get_program_name() now gets directly
_Py_path_config.program_name to only get the value set by
Py_SetProgramName(), or NULL if Py_SetProgramName() was not called.
* pymain_init_python() doesn't call Py_SetProgramName() anymore,
_PyPathConfig_Init() now always sets the program name
* Call _PyMainInterpreterConfig_Read() in
pymain_parse_cmdline_envvars_impl() to control the memory allocator
* C API documentation: it's no more safe to call Py_GetProgramName()
before Py_Initialize().
When PyGILState_Ensure() is called in a non-Python thread before
PyEval_InitThreads(), only call PyEval_InitThreads() after calling
PyThreadState_New() to fix a crash.
Add an unit test in test_embed.
* Fix _PyMem_SetupAllocators("debug"): always restore allocators to
the defaults, rather than only caling _PyMem_SetupDebugHooks().
* Add _PyMem_SetDefaultAllocator() helper to set the "default"
allocator.
* Add _PyMem_GetAllocatorsName(): get the name of the allocators
* main() now uses debug hooks on memory allocators if Py_DEBUG is
defined, rather than calling directly malloc()
* Document default memory allocators in C API documentation
* _Py_InitializeCore() now fails with a fatal user error if
PYTHONMALLOC value is an unknown memory allocator, instead of
failing with a fatal internal error.
* Add new tests on the PYTHONMALLOC environment variable
* Add support.with_pymalloc()
* Add the _testcapi.WITH_PYMALLOC constant and expose it as
support.with_pymalloc().
* sysconfig.get_config_var('WITH_PYMALLOC') doesn't work on Windows, so
replace it with support.with_pymalloc().
* pythoninfo: add _testcapi collector for pymem
kB (*kilo* byte) unit means 1000 bytes, whereas KiB ("kibibyte")
means 1024 bytes. KB was misused: replace kB or KB with KiB when
appropriate.
Same change for MB and GB which become MiB and GiB.
Change the output of Tools/iobench/iobench.py.
Round also the size of the documentation from 5.5 MB to 5 MiB.
Py_UNUSED has a public name, and is used in the wild outside CPython,
but was not documented. Rectify that.
The macro was added in bpo-19976 and referenced in bpo-26179.
See PEP 539 for details.
Highlights of changes:
- Add Thread Specific Storage (TSS) API
- Document the Thread Local Storage (TLS) API as deprecated
- Update code that used TLS API to use TSS API
The concrete PyDict_* API is used to interact with PyInterpreterState.modules in a number of places. This isn't compatible with all dict subclasses, nor with other Mapping implementations. This patch switches the concrete API usage to the corresponding abstract API calls.
We also add a PyImport_GetModule() function (and some other helpers) to reduce a bunch of code duplication.
* 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.
PR #1638, for bpo-28411, causes problems in some (very) edge cases. Until that gets sorted out, we're reverting the merge. PR #3506, a fix on top of #1638, is also getting reverted.
* Make PyTraceMalloc_Track() and PyTraceMalloc_Untrack() functions
public (remove the "_" prefix)
* Remove the _PyTraceMalloc_domain_t type: use directly unsigned
int.
* Document methods
Note: methods are already tested in test_tracemalloc.
* bpo-16500: Allow registering at-fork handlers
* Address Serhiy's comments
* Add doc for new C API
* Add doc for new Python-facing function
* Add NEWS entry + doc nit
* bpo-6532: Make the thread id an unsigned integer.
From C API side the type of results of PyThread_start_new_thread() and
PyThread_get_thread_ident(), the id parameter of
PyThreadState_SetAsyncExc(), and the thread_id field of PyThreadState
changed from "long" to "unsigned long".
* Restore a check in thread_get_ident().
a macro if Py_LIMITED_API is not set or set to the value between 0x03050400
and 0x03060000 (not including) or 0x03060100 or higher. Added functions
PySlice_Unpack() and PySlice_AdjustIndices().
Issue #28838: Rename parameters of the "calls" functions of the Python C API.
* Rename 'callable_object' and 'func' to 'callable': any Python callable object
is accepted, not only Python functions
* Rename 'method' and 'nameid' to 'name' (method name)
* Rename 'o' to 'obj'
* Move, fix and update documentation of PyObject_CallXXX() functions
in abstract.h
* Update also the documentaton of the C API (update parameter names)
Issue #28799:
* Remove the PyEval_GetCallStats() function.
* Deprecate the untested and undocumented sys.callstats() function.
* Remove the CALL_PROFILE special build
Use the sys.setprofile() function, cProfile or profile module to profile
function calls.
Multi-phase extension module import now correctly allows the
``m_methods`` field to be used to add module level functions
to instances of non-module types returned from ``Py_create_mod``.
