* Update PyCompilerFlags structure documentation.
* Document the new cf_feature_version field in the Changes in the C
API section of the What's New in Python 3.8 doc.
It is now allowed to add new fields at the end of the PyTypeObject struct without having to allocate a dedicated compatibility flag in tp_flags.
This will reduce the risk of running out of bits in the 32-bit tp_flags value.
* bpo-26836: Add os.memfd_create()
* Use the glibc wrapper for memfd_create()
Co-Authored-By: Christian Heimes <christian@python.org>
* Fix deletions caused by autoreconf.
* Use MFD_CLOEXEC as the default value for *flags*.
* Add memset_s to configure.ac.
* Revert memset_s changes.
* Apply the requested changes.
* Tweak the docs.
It has been documented as deprecated and to be removed in 3.8;
From a comment on another thread – which I can't find ; leave get_coro_wrapper() for now, but always return `None`.

Add a new threading.excepthook() function which handles uncaught
Thread.run() exception. It can be overridden to control how uncaught
exceptions are handled.
threading.ExceptHookArgs is not documented on purpose: it should not
be used directly.
* threading.excepthook() and threading.ExceptHookArgs.
* Add _PyErr_Display(): similar to PyErr_Display(), but accept a
'file' parameter.
* Add _thread._excepthook(): C implementation of the exception hook
calling _PyErr_Display().
* Add _thread._ExceptHookArgs: structseq type.
* Add threading._invoke_excepthook_wrapper() which handles the gory
details to ensure that everything remains alive during Python
shutdown.
* Add unit tests.
It is also possible to link against a library or executable with a
statically linked libpython, but not both with the same DLL. In fact
building a statically linked python is currently broken on Cygwin
for other (related) reasons.
The same problem applies to other POSIX-like layers over Windows
(MinGW, MSYS) but Python's build system does not seem to attempt
to support those platforms at the moment.
In development (-X dev) mode and in a debug build, IOBase finalizer
of the _pyio module now logs the exception if the close() method
fails. The exception is ignored silently by default in release build.
test_io: test_error_through_destructor() now uses
support.catch_unraisable_exception() rather than capturing stderr.
To embed Python into an application, a new --embed option must be
passed to "python3-config --libs --embed" to get "-lpython3.8" (link
the application to libpython). To support both 3.8 and older, try
"python3-config --libs --embed" first and fallback to "python3-config
--libs" (without --embed) if the previous command fails.
Add a pkg-config "python-3.8-embed" module to embed Python into an
application: "pkg-config python-3.8-embed --libs" includes
"-lpython3.8". To support both 3.8 and older, try "pkg-config
python-X.Y-embed --libs" first and fallback to "pkg-config python-X.Y
--libs" (without --embed) if the previous command fails (replace
"X.Y" with the Python version).
On the other hand, "pkg-config python3.8 --libs" no longer contains
"-lpython3.8". C extensions must not be linked to libpython (except
on Android, case handled by the script); this change is backward
incompatible on purpose.
"make install" now also installs "python-3.8-embed.pc".
Add new sys.unraisablehook() function which can be overridden to
control how "unraisable exceptions" are handled. It is called when an
exception has occurred but there is no way for Python to handle it.
For example, when a destructor raises an exception or during garbage
collection (gc.collect()).
Changes:
* Add an internal UnraisableHookArgs type used to pass arguments to
sys.unraisablehook.
* Add _PyErr_WriteUnraisableDefaultHook().
* The default hook now ignores exception on writing the traceback.
* test_sys now uses unittest.main() to automatically discover tests:
remove test_main().
* Add _PyErr_Init().
* Fix PyErr_WriteUnraisable(): hold a strong reference to sys.stderr
while using it
* Add math.isqrt function computing the integer square root.
* Code cleanup: remove redundant comments, rename some variables.
* Tighten up code a bit more; use Py_XDECREF to simplify error handling.
* Update Modules/mathmodule.c

* Update Modules/mathmodule.c
Use real argument clinic type instead of an alias
Co-Authored-By: Serhiy Storchaka <storchaka@gmail.com>
* Add proof sketch
* Updates from review.
* Correct and expand documentation.
* Fix bad reference handling on error; make some variables block-local; other tidying.
* Style and consistency fixes.
* Add missing error check; don't try to DECREF a NULL a
* Simplify some error returns.
* Another two test cases:
- clarify that floats are rejected even if they happen to be
squares of small integers
- TypeError beats ValueError for a negative float
* Documentation and markup improvements; thanks Serhiy for the suggestions!
* Cleaner Misc/NEWS entry wording.
* Clean up (with one fix) to the algorithm explanation and proof.
Plistlib currently throws an exception when asked to decode a valid
.plist file that was generated by Apple's NSKeyedArchiver. Specifically,
this is caused by a byte 0x80 (signifying a UID) not being understood.
This fixes the problem by enabling the binary plist reader and writer
to read and write plistlib.UID objects.
Remove the PyEval_ReInitThreads() function from the Python C API.
It should not be called explicitly: use PyOS_AfterFork_Child()
instead.
Rename PyEval_ReInitThreads() to _PyEval_ReInitThreads() and add a
'runtime' parameter.
