``configure`` now uses a standardized format to forward state, compiler
flags, and linker flags to ``Makefile``, ``setup.py``, and
``Modules/Setup``. ``makesetup`` use the new variables by default if a
module line does not contain any compiler or linker flags. ``setup.py``
has a new function ``addext()``.
For a module ``egg``, configure adds:
* ``MODULE_EGG`` with value yes, missing, disabled, or n/a
* ``MODULE_EGG_CFLAGS``
* ``MODULE_EGG_LDFLAGS``
``Makefile.pre.in`` may also provide ``MODULE_EGG_DEPS`` that lists
dependencies such as header files and static libs.

This gains 10% or more in startup time for `python -c pass` on UNIX-ish systems.
The Makefile.pre.in generating code builds on Eric's work for bpo-45020, but the .c file generator is new.
Windows version TBD.

From the autoconf docs *Obsolete Macros* section:
Defined the output variable EXEEXT based on the output of the
compiler, which is now done automatically. Typically set to empty
string if Posix and ‘.exe’ if a DOS variant.
Almost all checks are now cached by AC_CACHE_CHECK().
Common patterns are replaced by helper macros.
Variable names now use naming scheme ``ac_cv_func_$funcname``,
``ac_cv_lib_$library_$funcname``, or ``ac_cv_header_$headername_h``.
``SYS_SELECT_WITH_SYS_TIME`` is no longer used.
``uuid_create`` and ``uuid_enc_be`` are provided by libc on BSD. It is
safe to use ``AC_CHECK_FUNCS`` here.
Caching speeds up ./configure -C from ~ 4s to 2.6s on my system.

Add Modules subdirs to SRCDIRS to generate directories for out-of-tree
object files.
Debian wants ncurses lib. Works on Fedora, too.
Debian also needs pkg-config to detect correct flags.
Remove more outdated comments. Makefile now tracks header dependencies
-lintl is injected by configure when needed. Build _dbm with
gdbm-compat.
Group some modules by purpose. socket, select, and mmap work on Windows,
too.
The :mod:`math` and :mod:`cmath` implementation now require a C99 compatible
``libm`` and no longer ship with workarounds for missing acosh, asinh,
expm1, and log1p functions.
The changeset also removes ``_math.c`` and moves the last remaining
workaround into ``_math.h``. This simplifies static builds with
``Modules/Setup`` and resolves symbol conflicts.

Remove fallbacks for missing round(), copysign() and hypot() in
Python/pymath.c. Python now requires these functions to build.
These fallbacks were needed on Visual Studio 2012 and older. They are
no longer needed since Visual Stuido 2013. Python is now built with
Visual Studio 2017 or newer since Python 3.6.
Building Python now requires a C99 <math.h> header file providing
isinf(), isnan() and isfinite() functions.
Remove the Py_FORCE_DOUBLE() macro. It was used by the
Py_IS_INFINITY() macro.
Changes:
* Remove Py_IS_NAN(), Py_IS_INFINITY() and Py_IS_FINITE()
in PC/pyconfig.h.
* Remove the _Py_force_double() function.
* configure no longer checks if math.h defines isinf(), isnan() and
isfinite().

For example, without the guard the check could cause macOS
installer builds to fail to install on older supported macOS
releases where libnetwork is not available and is not needed
on any release.
On Unix, if the sem_clockwait() function is available in the C
library (glibc 2.30 and newer), the threading.Lock.acquire() method
now uses the monotonic clock (time.CLOCK_MONOTONIC) for the timeout,
rather than using the system clock (time.CLOCK_REALTIME), to not be
affected by system clock changes.
configure now checks if the sem_clockwait() function is available.
In Unix operating systems, time.sleep() now uses the clock_nanosleep() function,
if available, which allows to sleep for an interval specified with nanosecond precision.

Only complain if the config target is >= 10.3 and the current target is
< 10.3. The check was originally added to ensure that incompatible
LDSHARED flags are not used, because -undefined dynamic_lookup is
used when building for 10.3 and later, and is not supported on older OS
versions. Apart from that, there should be no problem in general
with using an older target.

* Remove m68k-specific hack from ascii_decode
On m68k, alignments of primitives is more relaxed, with 4-byte and
8-byte types only requiring 2-byte alignment, thus using sizeof(size_t)
does not work. Instead, use the portable alternative.
Note that this is a minimal fix that only relaxes the assertion and the
condition for when to use the optimised version remains overly strict.
Such issues will be fixed tree-wide in the next commit.
NB: In C11 we could use _Alignof(size_t) instead, but for compatibility
we use autoconf.
* Optimise string routines for architectures with non-natural alignment
C only requires that sizeof(x) is a multiple of alignof(x), not that the
two are equal. Thus anywhere where we optimise based on alignment we
should be using alignof(x) not sizeof(x).
This is more annoying than it would be in C11 where we could just use
_Alignof(x) (and alignof(x) in C++11), but since we still require only
C99 we must plumb the information all the way from autoconf through the
various typedefs and defines.
These functions were undocumented and excluded from the limited C
API.
Most names defined by these header files were not prefixed by "Py"
and so could create names conflicts. For example, Python-ast.h
defined a "Yield" macro which was conflict with the "Yield" name used
by the Windows <winbase.h> header.
Use the Python ast module instead.
* Move Include/asdl.h to Include/internal/pycore_asdl.h.
* Move Include/Python-ast.h to Include/internal/pycore_ast.h.
* Remove ast.h header file.
* pycore_symtable.h no longer includes Python-ast.h.
Add a new configure --without-static-libpython option to not build

In contrast to macOS, libedit is available as its own include file and
library on Linux systems to prevent file name clashes. So if both
libraries are available on the system, readline is currently chosen by
default; and if only libedit is available, it is not found at all. This
patch adds a way to link against libedit by adding the following
arguments to configure:
--with-readline link against libreadline (the default)
--with-readline=editline link against libeditline
--with-readline=no disable building the readline module
--without-readline (same)
The runtime detection of libedit vs. readline was already done in commit
7105319ada (2019-12-04, serge-sans-paille: "bpo-38634: Allow
non-apple build to cope with libedit (GH-16986)").

Add --with-wheel-pkg-dir=PATH option to the ./configure script. If
specified, the ensurepip module looks for setuptools and pip wheel
packages in this directory: if both are present, these wheel packages
are used instead of ensurepip bundled wheel packages.
Some Linux distribution packaging policies recommend against bundling
dependencies. For example, Fedora installs wheel packages in the
/usr/share/python-wheels/ directory and don't install the
ensurepip._bundled package.
ensurepip: Remove unused runpy import.
According to [bpo-42874](), some versions of grep do not support the `-q` and `-E` options. Although both options are used elsewhere in the configure script, this particular bit of validation can be achieved without them,
so there's no real harm in using a grep call with no flags.
Would be good to get some people taking advantage of the `--with-tzpath` arguments in the wild to try this out.. Local testing seems to indicate that this does the same thing, but I don't know that we have any buildbots using this option. Maybe @pablogsal?
[bpo-42874]():

Add pycore_atomic_funcs.h internal header file: similar to
pycore_atomic.h but don't require to declare variables as atomic.
Add _Py_atomic_size_get() and _Py_atomic_size_set() functions.
Now all platforms use a value for the "EXT_SUFFIX" build variable derived
from SOABI (for instance in FreeBSD, "EXT_SUFFIX" is now ".cpython-310d.so"
instead of ".so"). Previously only Linux, Mac and VxWorks were using a value
for "EXT_SUFFIX" that included "SOABI".

This is invalid in C99 and later and is an error with some compilers
(e.g. clang in Xcode 12), and can thus cause configure checks to
produce incorrect results.
As [bpo-38443]() says the error message from configure when specifying --enable-universalsdk with a set of architectures that is not supported by the compiler is not very helpful. This PR explicitly checks if the compiler works and bails out if it doesn't.

* bpo-35823: subprocess: Use vfork() instead of fork() on Linux when safe
When used to run a new executable image, fork() is not a good choice
for process creation, especially if the parent has a large working set:
fork() needs to copy page tables, which is slow, and may fail on systems
where overcommit is disabled, despite that the child is not going to
touch most of its address space.
Currently, subprocess is capable of using posix_spawn() instead, which
normally provides much better performance. However, posix_spawn() does not
support many of child setup operations exposed by subprocess.Popen().
Most notably, it's not possible to express `close_fds=True`, which
happens to be the default, via posix_spawn(). As a result, most users
can't benefit from faster process creation, at least not without
changing their code.
However, Linux provides vfork() system call, which creates a new process
without copying the address space of the parent, and which is actually
used by C libraries to efficiently implement posix_spawn(). Due to sharing
of the address space and even the stack with the parent, extreme care
is required to use vfork(). At least the following restrictions must hold:
* No signal handlers must execute in the child process. Otherwise, they
might clobber memory shared with the parent, potentially confusing it.
* Any library function called after vfork() in the child must be
async-signal-safe (as for fork()), but it must also not interact with any
library state in a way that might break due to address space sharing
and/or lack of any preparations performed by libraries on normal fork().
POSIX.1 permits to call only execve() and _exit(), and later revisions
remove vfork() specification entirely. In practice, however, almost all
operations needed by subprocess.Popen() can be safely implemented on
Linux.
* Due to sharing of the stack with the parent, the child must be careful
not to clobber local variables that are alive across vfork() call.
Compilers are normally aware of this and take extra care with vfork()
(and setjmp(), which has a similar problem).
* In case the parent is privileged, special attention must be paid to vfork()
use, because sharing an address space across different privilege domains
is insecure[1].
This patch adds support for using vfork() instead of fork() on Linux
when it's possible to do safely given the above. In particular:
* vfork() is not used if credential switch is requested. The reverse case
(simple subprocess.Popen() but another application thread switches
credentials concurrently) is not possible for pure-Python apps because
subprocess.Popen() and functions like os.setuid() are mutually excluded
via GIL. We might also consider to add a way to opt-out of vfork() (and
posix_spawn() on platforms where it might be implemented via vfork()) in
a future PR.
* vfork() is not used if `preexec_fn != None`.
With this change, subprocess will still use posix_spawn() if possible, but
will fallback to vfork() on Linux in most cases, and, failing that,
to fork().

Since c19c5a6, AIX builds have defaulted to using dynload_shlib over
dynload_aix when dlopen is available. This function has been available
since AIX 4.3, which went out of support in 2003, the same year the
previously referenced commit was made. It has been nearly 20 years
since a version of AIX has been supported which has not used
dynload_shlib so there's no reason to keep this legacy code around.
close_range(2) should be preferred at all times if it's available, otherwise we'll use closefrom(2) if available with a fallback to fdwalk(3) or plain old loop over fd range in order of most efficient to least.
[note that this version does check for ENOSYS, but currently ignores all other errors]
