* Switch PyUnicode_InternInPlace to _PyUnicode_InternMortal, clarify docs
* Document immortality in some functions that take `const char *`
This is PyUnicode_InternFromString;
PyDict_SetItemString, PyObject_SetAttrString;
PyObject_DelAttrString; PyUnicode_InternFromString;
and the PyModule_Add convenience functions.
Always point out a non-immortalizing alternative.
* Don't immortalize user-provided attr names in _ctypes
Any cross-interpreter mechanism for passing objects between interpreters must be very careful to respect isolation, even when the object is effectively immutable (e.g. int, str). Here this especially relates to when an interpreter sends one of its objects, and then is destroyed while the inter-interpreter machinery (e.g. queue) still holds a reference to the object.
When I added interpreters.Queue, I dealt with that case (using an atexit hook) by silently removing all items from the queue that were added by the finalizing interpreter.
Later, while working on concurrent.futures.InterpreterPoolExecutor (gh-116430), I noticed it was somewhat surprising when items were silently removed from the queue when the originating interpreter was destroyed. (See my comment on that PR.)
It took me a little while to realize what was going on. I expect that users, which much less context than I have, would experience the same pain.
My approach, here, to improving the situation is to give users three options:
1. return a singleton (interpreters.queues.UNBOUND) from Queue.get() in place of each removed item
2. raise an exception (interpreters.queues.ItemInterpreterDestroyed) from Queue.get() in place of each removed item
3. existing behavior: silently remove each item (i.e. Queue.get() skips each one)
The default will now be (1), but users can still explicitly opt in any of them, including to the silent removal behavior.
The behavior for each item may be set with the corresponding Queue.put() call. and a queue-wide default may be set when the queue is created. (This is the same as I did for "synconly".)
On POSIX systems, excluding macOS framework installs, the lib directory
for the free-threaded build now includes a "t" suffix to avoid conflicts
with a co-located default build installation.
This makes select.poll() and kqueue() objects thread-safe in the
free-threaded build. Note that calling close() concurrently with other
functions is still not thread-safe due to races on file descriptors
(gh-121544).
The `_PySeqLock_EndRead` function needs an acquire fence to ensure that
the load of the sequence happens after any loads within the read side
critical section. The missing fence can trigger bugs on macOS arm64.
Additionally, we need a release fence in `_PySeqLock_LockWrite` to
ensure that the sequence update is visible before any modifications to
the cache entry.
Make error message for index() methods consistent
Remove the repr of the searched value (which can be arbitrary large)
from ValueError messages for list.index(), range.index(), deque.index(),
deque.remove() and ShareableList.index(). Make the error messages
consistent with error messages for other index() and remove()
methods.
Sometimes a large file is truncated (test_largefile). While
estimated_size is used as a estimate (the read will stil get the number
of bytes in the file), that it is much larger than the actual size of
data can result in a significant over allocation and sometimes lead to
a MemoryError / running out of memory.
This brings the C implementation to match the Python _pyio
implementation.
This reduces the system call count of a simple program[0] that reads all
the `.rst` files in Doc by over 10% (5706 -> 4734 system calls on my
linux system, 5813 -> 4875 on my macOS)
This reduces the number of `fstat()` calls always and seek calls most
the time. Stat was always called twice, once at open (to error early on
directories), and a second time to get the size of the file to be able
to read the whole file in one read. Now the size is cached with the
first call.
The code keeps an optimization that if the user had previously read a
lot of data, the current position is subtracted from the number of bytes
to read. That is somewhat expensive so only do it on larger files,
otherwise just try and read the extra bytes and resize the PyBytes as
needeed.
I built a little test program to validate the behavior + assumptions
around relative costs and then ran it under `strace` to get a log of the
system calls. Full samples below[1].
After the changes, this is everything in one `filename.read_text()`:
```python3
openat(AT_FDCWD, "cpython/Doc/howto/clinic.rst", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 3`
fstat(3, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=343, ...}) = 0`
ioctl(3, TCGETS, 0x7ffdfac04b40) = -1 ENOTTY (Inappropriate ioctl for device)
lseek(3, 0, SEEK_CUR) = 0
read(3, ":orphan:\n\n.. This page is retain"..., 344) = 343
read(3, "", 1) = 0
close(3) = 0
```
This does make some tradeoffs
1. If the file size changes between open() and readall(), this will
still get all the data but might have more read calls.
2. I experimented with avoiding the stat + cached result for small files
in general, but on my dev workstation at least that tended to reduce
performance compared to using the fstat().

This amends 6988ff02a5: memory allocation for
stginfo->ffi_type_pointer.elements in PyCSimpleType_init() should be
more generic (perhaps someday fmt->pffi_type->elements will be not a
two-elements array).
It should finally resolve#61103.

Refactor the fast Unicode hash check into `_PyObject_HashFast` and use relaxed
atomic loads in the free-threaded build.
After this change, the TSAN doesn't report data races for this method.
1. Use pkg-config to check for ncursesw/panelw. If that fails, use
pkg-config to check for ncurses/panel.
2. Regardless of pkg-config output, search for curses/panel headers, so
we're sure we have all defines in pyconfig.h.
3. Regardless of pkg-config output, check if libncurses or libncursesw
contains the 'initscr' symbol; if it does _and_ pkg-config failed
earlier, add the resulting -llib linker option to CURSES_LIBS.
Ditto for 'update_panels' and PANEL_LIBS.
4. Wrap the rest of the checks with WITH_SAVE_ENV and make sure we're
using updated LIBS and CPPFLAGS for those.
Add the PY_CHECK_CURSES convenience macro.
Fix warnings when using -Wimplicit-fallthrough compiler flag.
Annotate explicitly "fall through" switch cases with a new
_Py_FALLTHROUGH macro which uses __attribute__((fallthrough)) if
available. Replace "fall through" comments with _Py_FALLTHROUGH.
Add _Py__has_attribute() macro. No longer define __has_attribute()
macro if it's not defined. Move also _Py__has_builtin() at the top
of pyport.h.

This makes the following macros public as part of the non-limited C-API for
locking a single object or two objects at once.
* `Py_BEGIN_CRITICAL_SECTION(op)` / `Py_END_CRITICAL_SECTION()`
* `Py_BEGIN_CRITICAL_SECTION2(a, b)` / `Py_END_CRITICAL_SECTION2()`
The supporting functions and structs used by the macros are also exposed for
cases where C macros are not available.
