* Rename _PyTime_FromObject() to _PyTime_FromSecondsObject()
* Add _PyTime_AsNanosecondsObject() and _testcapi.pytime_fromsecondsobject()
* Add unit tests
In practice, _PyTime_t is a number of nanoseconds. Its C type is a 64-bit
signed number. It's integer value is in the range [-2^63; 2^63-1]. In seconds,
the range is around [-292 years; +292 years]. In term of Epoch timestamp
(1970-01-01), it can store a date between 1677-09-21 and 2262-04-11.
The API has a resolution of 1 nanosecond and use integer number. With a
resolution on 1 nanosecond, 64-bit IEEE 754 floating point numbers loose
precision after 194 days. It's not the case with this API. The drawback is
overflow for values outside [-2^63; 2^63-1], but these values are unlikely for
most Python modules, except of the datetime module.
New functions:
- _PyTime_GetMonotonicClock()
- _PyTime_FromObject()
- _PyTime_AsMilliseconds()
- _PyTime_AsTimeval()
This change uses these new functions in time.sleep() to avoid rounding issues.
The new API will be extended step by step, and the old API will be removed step
by step. Currently, some code is duplicated just to be able to move
incrementally, instead of pushing a large change at once.
I expected more users of _Py_wstat(), but in practice it's only used by
Modules/getpath.c. Move the function because it's not needed on Windows.
Windows uses PC/getpathp.c which uses the Win32 API (ex: GetFileAttributesW())
not the POSIX API.
Issue #23654: Turn off ICC's tail call optimization for the stack_overflow
generator. ICC turns the recursive tail call into a loop.
Patch written by Matt Frank.
which returned an invalid result (result+error or no result without error) in
the exception message.
Add also unit test to check that the exception contains the name of the
function.
Special case: the final _PyEval_EvalFrameEx() check doesn't mention the
function since it didn't execute a single function but a whole frame.
when interrupted by a signal not in the *sigset* parameter, if the signal
handler does not raise an exception. signal.sigtimedwait() recomputes the
timeout with a monotonic clock when it is retried.
Remove test_signal.test_sigwaitinfo_interrupted() because sigwaitinfo() doesn't
raise InterruptedError anymore if it is interrupted by a signal not in its
sigset parameter.
interrupted by a signal
Add a new _PyTime_AddDouble() function and remove _PyTime_ADD_SECONDS() macro.
The _PyTime_ADD_SECONDS only supported an integer number of seconds, the
_PyTime_AddDouble() has subsecond resolution.
EINTR error and special cases for Windows.
These functions now truncate the length to PY_SSIZE_T_MAX to have a portable
and reliable behaviour. For example, read() result is undefined if counter is
greater than PY_SSIZE_T_MAX on Linux.
retried with the recomputed delay, except if the signal handler raises an
exception (PEP 475).
Modify also test_signal to use a monotonic clock instead of the system clock.
* _Py_open() now raises exceptions on error. If open() fails, it raises an
OSError with the filename.
* _Py_open() now releases the GIL while calling open()
* Add _Py_open_noraise() when _Py_open() cannot be used because the GIL is not
held

pyexpat.c doesn't need to redeclare PyMODINIT_FUNC, it's already declared in
Include/pyport.h.
