Remove complex special methods __int__, __float__, __floordiv__,
__mod__, __divmod__, __rfloordiv__, __rmod__ and __rdivmod__
which always raised a TypeError.
My mentee @xvxvxvxvxv noticed that iterating over array.array is
slightly faster than iterating over bytes. Looking at the source I
observed that arrayiter_next() calls `getitem(ao, it->index++)` wheras
striter_next() uses the idiom (paraphrased)
item = PyLong_FromLong(seq->ob_sval[it->it_index]);
if (item != NULL)
++it->it_next;
return item;
I'm not 100% sure but I think that the second version has fewer
opportunity for the CPU to overlap the `index++` operation with the
rest of the code (which in both cases involves a call). So here I am
optimistically incrementing the index -- if the PyLong_FromLong() call
fails, this will leave the iterator pointing at the next byte, but
honestly I doubt that anyone would seriously consider resuming use of
the iterator after that kind of failure (it would have to be a
MemoryError). And the author of arrayiter_next() made the same
consideration (or never ever gave it a thought :-).
With this, a loop like
for _ in b: pass
is now slightly *faster* than the same thing over an equivalent array,
rather than slightly *slower* (in both cases a few percent).
Always create the empty bytes string singleton.
Optimize PyBytes_FromStringAndSize(str, 0): it no longer has to check
if the empty string singleton was created or not, it is always
available.
Add functions:
* _PyBytes_Init()
* bytes_get_empty(), bytes_new_empty()
* bytes_create_empty_string_singleton()
* unicode_create_empty_string_singleton()
_Py_unicode_state: rename empty structure member to empty_string.
Each interpreter now has its own empty bytes string and single byte
character singletons.
Replace STRINGLIB_EMPTY macro with STRINGLIB_GET_EMPTY() macro.
The PyObject_INIT() and PyObject_INIT_VAR() macros become aliases to,
respectively, PyObject_Init() and PyObject_InitVar() functions.
Rename _PyObject_INIT() and _PyObject_INIT_VAR() static inline
functions to, respectively, _PyObject_Init() and _PyObject_InitVar(),
and move them to pycore_object.h. Remove their return value:
their return type becomes void.
The _datetime module is now built with the Py_BUILD_CORE_MODULE macro
defined.
Remove an outdated comment on _Py_tracemalloc_config.
The PEP 353, written in 2005, introduced PY_FORMAT_SIZE_T. Python no
longer supports macOS 10.4 and Visual Studio 2010, but requires more
recent macOS and Visual Studio versions. In 2020 with Python 3.10, it
is now safe to use directly "%zu" to format size_t and "%zi" to
format Py_ssize_t.
Previously, the result could have been an instance of a subclass of int.
Also revert bpo-26202 and make attributes start, stop and step of the range
object having exact type int.
Add private function _PyNumber_Index() which preserves the old behavior
of PyNumber_Index() for performance to use it in the conversion functions
like PyLong_AsLong().
Added str.removeprefix and str.removesuffix methods and corresponding
bytes, bytearray, and collections.UserString methods to remove affixes
from a string if present. See PEP 616 for a full description.
Don't access PyInterpreterState.config member directly anymore, but
use new functions:
* _PyInterpreterState_GetConfig()
* _PyInterpreterState_SetConfig()
* _Py_GetConfig()
Add _PyIndex_Check() function to the internal C API: fast inlined
verson of PyIndex_Check().
Add Include/internal/pycore_abstract.h header file.
Replace PyIndex_Check() with _PyIndex_Check() in C files of Objects
and Python subdirectories.
Move the bytes_methods.h header file to the internal C API as
pycore_bytes_methods.h: it only contains private symbols (prefixed by
"_Py"), except of the PyDoc_STRVAR_shared() macro.

* Remove _Py_INC_REFTOTAL and _Py_DEC_REFTOTAL macros: modify
directly _Py_RefTotal.
* _Py_ForgetReference() is no longer defined if the Py_TRACE_REFS
macro is not defined.
* Remove _Py_NewReference() implementation from object.c:
unify the two implementations in object.h inline function.
* Fix Py_TRACE_REFS build: _Py_INC_TPALLOCS() macro has been removed.
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.
In ArgumentClinic, value "NULL" should now be used only for unrepresentable default values
(like in the optional third parameter of getattr). "None" should be used if None is accepted
as argument and passing None has the same effect as not passing the argument at all.
All call sites pass NULL for `recode_encoding`, so this path is
completely untested. That's been true since before Python 3.0.
It adds significant complexity to this logic, so it's best to
take it out.
All call sites now have a literal NULL, and that's been true since
commit 768921cf3 eliminated a conditional (`foo ? bar : NULL`) at
the call site in Python/ast.c where we're parsing a bytes literal.
But even before then, that condition `foo` had been a constant
since unadorned string literals started meaning Unicode, in commit
572dbf8f1 aka v3.0a1~1035 .
The `unicode` parameter is already unused, so mark it as unused too.
The code that acted on it was also taken out before Python 3.0, in
commit 8d30cc014 aka v3.0a1~1031 .
The function (PyBytes_DecodeEscape) is exposed in the API, but it's
never been documented.
This is the sort of `goto` that requires the reader to stare hard at
the code to unpick what it's doing.
On doing so, the answer is... not very much!
* It jumps from the bottom of the loop to almost the top; the effect
is to bypass the loop condition `s < end` and also the
`if`-condition `*s != '\\'`, acting as if both are true.
* We've just decremented `s`, after incrementing it in the `switch`
condition. So it has the same value as when `s == end` failed.
Before that was another increment... and before that we had
`s < end`. So `s < end` true, then increment, then `s == end`
false... that means `s < end` is still true.
* Also this means `s` points to the same character as it did for the
`switch` condition. And there was a `case '\\'`, which we didn't
hit -- so `*s != '\\'` is also true.
* That means this has no effect on the behavior! The most it might do
is an optimization -- we get to skip those two checks, because (as
just proven above) we know they're true.
* But gosh, this is the *invalid escape sequence* path. This does not
seem like the kind of code path that calls for extreme optimization
tricks.
So, take the `goto` and the label out.
Perhaps the compiler will notice the exact same facts we showed above,
and generate identical code. Or perhaps it won't! That'll be OK.
But then, crucially, if some future edit to this loop causes the
reasoning above to *stop* holding true... the compiler will adjust
this jump accordingly. One of us fallible humans might not.
* bpo-22385: Support output separators in hex methods.
Also in binascii.hexlify aka b2a_hex.
The underlying implementation behind all hex generation in CPython uses the
same pystrhex.c implementation. This adds support to bytes, bytearray,
and memoryview objects.
The binascii module functions exist rather than being slated for deprecation
because they return bytes rather than requiring an intermediate step through a
str object.
This change was inspired by MicroPython which supports sep in its binascii
implementation (and does not yet support the .hex methods).
https://bugs.python.org/issue22385
The final addition (cur += step) may overflow, so use size_t for "cur".
"cur" is always positive (even for negative steps), so it is safe to use
size_t here.

Format characters "%s" and "%V" in PyUnicode_FromFormat() and "%s" in PyBytes_FromFormat()
no longer read memory past the limit if precision is specified.
Configuring python with ./configure --with-pydebug CFLAGS="-D COUNT_ALLOCS -O0"
makes "make smelly" fail as some symbols were being exported without the "Py_" or
"_Py" prefixes.
* Convert PyObject_INIT() and PyObject_INIT_VAR() macros to static
inline functions.
* Fix usage of these functions: cast to PyObject* or PyVarObject*.
Add more fields to _PyCoreConfig:
* _check_hash_pycs_mode
* bytes_warning
* debug
* inspect
* interactive
* legacy_windows_fs_encoding
* legacy_windows_stdio
* optimization_level
* quiet
* unbuffered_stdio
* user_site_directory
* verbose
* write_bytecode
Changes:
* Remove pymain_get_global_config() and pymain_set_global_config()
which became useless. These functions have been replaced by
_PyCoreConfig_GetGlobalConfig() and
_PyCoreConfig_SetGlobalConfig().
* sys.flags.dont_write_bytecode value is now restricted to 1 even if
-B option is specified multiple times on the command line.
* PyThreadState_Clear() now uses the config from the current
interpreter rather than using global Py_VerboseFlag
METH_NOARGS functions need only a single argument but they are cast
into a PyCFunction, which takes two arguments. This triggers an
invalid function cast warning in gcc8 due to the argument mismatch.
Fix this by adding a dummy unused argument.
* 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.
* group the (stateful) runtime globals into various topical structs
* consolidate the topical structs under a single top-level _PyRuntimeState struct
* add a check-c-globals.py script that helps identify runtime globals
Other globals are excluded (see globals.txt and check-c-globals.py).
Issue #28858: The change b9c9691c72c5 introduced a regression. It seems like
_PyObject_CallArg1() uses more stack memory than
PyObject_CallFunctionObjArgs().
* PyObject_CallFunctionObjArgs(func, NULL) => _PyObject_CallNoArg(func)
* PyObject_CallFunctionObjArgs(func, arg, NULL) => _PyObject_CallArg1(func, arg)
PyObject_CallFunctionObjArgs() allocates 40 bytes on the C stack and requires
extra work to "parse" C arguments to build a C array of PyObject*.
_PyObject_CallNoArg() and _PyObject_CallArg1() are simpler and don't allocate
memory on the C stack.
This change is part of the fastcall project. The change on listsort() is
related to the issue #23507.
Return a bytearray object when bytearray is requested and when the small buffer
is used.
Fix also test_bytes: bytearray%args must return a bytearray type.
