Added new internal functions to compute mod without also computing the quotient.
The loops can be leaner then, which leads to modestly but reliably faster execution in contexts that know they don't need the quotient.
Code by Jeremiah Vivian (Pascual).
Remove the PyHeapType_GET_MEMBERS() macro. It was exposed in the
public C API by mistake, it must only be used by Python internally.
Use the PyTypeObject.tp_members member instead.
Rename PyHeapType_GET_MEMBERS() to _PyHeapType_GET_MEMBERS() and move
it to the internal C API.
Move _Py_GetAllocatedBlocks() and _PyObject_DebugMallocStats()
declarations to pycore_pymem.h. These functions are related to memory
allocators, not to the PyObject structure.
Convert the PyType_SUPPORTS_WEAKREFS() macro to a regular function.
It no longer access the PyTypeObject.tp_weaklistoffset member
directly.
Add _PyType_SUPPORTS_WEAKREFS() static inline functions, used
internally by Python for best performance.
* bpo-46504: faster code for trial quotient in x_divrem()
This brings x_divrem() back into synch with x_divrem1(), which was changed
in bpo-46406 to generate faster code to find machine-word division
quotients and remainders. Modern processors compute both with a single
machine instruction, but convincing C to exploit that requires writing
_less_ "clever" C code.
Add _PyUnicode_FiniTypes() function, called by
finalize_interp_types(). It clears these static types:
* EncodingMapType
* PyFieldNameIter_Type
* PyFormatterIter_Type
_PyStaticType_Dealloc() now does nothing if tp_subclasses
is not NULL.
Add 'static_exceptions' list to factorize code between
_PyExc_InitTypes() and _PyBuiltins_AddExceptions().
_PyExc_InitTypes() does nothing if it's not the main interpreter.
Sort exceptions in Lib/test/exception_hierarchy.txt.
* Add comment to recurse_down_subclasses() explaining why it's safe
to use a borrowed reference to tp_subclasses.
* remove_all_subclasses() no longer accept NULL cases
* type_set_bases() now relies on the fact that new_bases is not NULL.
* type_dealloc_common() avoids PyErr_Fetch/PyErr_Restore if tp_bases
is NULL.
* remove_all_subclasses() makes sure that no exception is raised.
* Don't test at runtime if tp_mro only contains types: rely on
_PyType_CAST() assertion for that.
* _PyStaticType_Dealloc() no longer clears tp_subclasses which is
already NULL.
* mro_hierarchy() avoids calling _PyType_GetSubclasses() if
tp_subclasses is NULL.
Coding style:
* Use Py_NewRef().
* Add braces and move variable declarations to the first variable
assignement.
* Rename a few variables and parameters to use better names.
* Move PyContext static types into object.c static_types list.
* Rename PyContextTokenMissing_Type to _PyContextTokenMissing_Type
and declare it in pycore_context.h.
* _PyHamtItems types are no long exported: replace PyAPI_DATA() with
extern.
The remove_subclass() function now deletes the dictionary when
removing the last subclass (if the dictionary becomes empty) to save
memory: set PyTypeObject.tp_subclasses to NULL. remove_subclass() is
called when a type is deallocated.
_PyType_GetSubclasses() no longer holds a reference to tp_subclasses:
its loop cannot modify tp_subclasses.
Fix a race condition on setting a type __bases__ attribute: the
internal function add_subclass() now gets the
PyTypeObject.tp_subclasses member after calling PyWeakref_NewRef()
which can trigger a garbage collection which can indirectly modify
PyTypeObject.tp_subclasses.
Add a new _PyType_GetSubclasses() function to get type's subclasses.
_PyType_GetSubclasses(type) returns a list which holds strong
refererences to subclasses. It is safer than iterating on
type->tp_subclasses which yields weak references and can be modified
in the loop.
_PyType_GetSubclasses(type) now holds a reference to the tp_subclasses
dict while creating the list of subclasses.
set_collection_flag_recursive() of _abc.c now uses
_PyType_GetSubclasses().
Add types removed by mistake by the commit adding
_PyTypes_FiniTypes().
Move also PyBool_Type at the end, since it depends on PyLong_Type.
PyBytes_Type and PyUnicode_Type no longer depend explicitly on
PyBaseObject_Type: it's the default of PyType_Ready().
Add _PyTypes_FiniTypes() best-effort function to clear static types:
don't deallocate a type if it still has subclasses.
remove_subclass() now sets tp_subclasses to NULL when removing the
last subclass.
The _curses module now creates its ncurses_version type as a heap
type using PyStructSequence_NewType(), rather than using a static
type.
* Move _PyStructSequence_FiniType() definition to pycore_structseq.h.
* test.pythoninfo: log curses.ncurses_version.
Add _PyStructSequence_FiniType() and _PyStaticType_Dealloc()
functions to finalize a structseq static type in Py_Finalize().
Currrently, these functions do nothing if Python is built in release
mode.
Clear static types:
* AsyncGenHooksType: sys.set_asyncgen_hooks()
* FlagsType: sys.flags
* FloatInfoType: sys.float_info
* Hash_InfoType: sys.hash_info
* Int_InfoType: sys.int_info
* ThreadInfoType: sys.thread_info
* UnraisableHookArgsType: sys.unraisablehook
* VersionInfoType: sys.version
* WindowsVersionType: sys.getwindowsversion()
* Add RETURN_GENERATOR and JUMP_NO_INTERRUPT opcodes.
* Trim frame and generator by word each.
* Minor refactor of frame.c
* Update test.test_sys to account for smaller frames.
* Treat generator functions as normal functions when evaluating and specializing.
The docstrings for MappingProxyType's keys(), values(), and items()
methods were never updated to reflect the changes that Python 3 brought
to these APIs, namely returning views rather than lists.
The empty bytes object (b'') and the 256 one-character bytes objects were allocated at runtime init. Now we statically allocate and initialize them.

When multiplying lists and tuples by `n`, increment each element's refcount, by `n`, just once.
Saves `n-1` increments per element, and allows for a leaner & faster copying loop.
Code by sweeneyde (Dennis Sweeney).
This reverts commit ea251806b8.
Keep "assert(interned == NULL);" in _PyUnicode_Fini(), but only for
the main interpreter.
Keep _PyUnicode_ClearInterned() changes avoiding the creation of a
temporary Python list object.
x_mul()'s squaring code can do some redundant and/or useless
work at the end of each digit pass. A more careful analysis
of worst-case carries at various digit positions allows
making that code leaner.
* bpo-46218: Change long_pow() to sliding window algorithm
The primary motivation is to eliminate long_pow's reliance on that the number of bits in a long "digit" is a multiple of 5. Now it no longer cares how many bits are in a digit.
But the sliding window approach also allows cutting the precomputed table of small powers in half, which reduces initialization overhead enough that the approach pays off for smaller exponents too. Depending on exponent bit patterns, a sliding window may also be able to save some bigint multiplies (sometimes when at least 5 consecutive exponent bits are 0, regardless of their starting bit position modulo 5).
Note: boosting the window width to 6 didn't work well overall. It give marginal speed improvements for huge exponents, but the increased overhead (the small-power table needs twice as many entries) made it a loss for smaller exponents.

* Do not PUSH/POP traceback or type to the stack as part of exc_info
* Remove exc_traceback and exc_type from _PyErr_StackItem
* Add to what's new, because this change breaks things like Cython
The array of small PyLong objects has been statically declared. Here I also statically initialize them. Consequently they are no longer initialized dynamically during runtime init.
I've also moved them under a new sub-struct in _PyRuntimeState, in preparation for static allocation and initialization of other global objects.
https://bugs.python.org/issue45953
This change is strictly renames and moving code around. It helps in the following ways:
* ensures type-related init functions focus strictly on one of the three aspects (state, objects, types)
* passes in PyInterpreterState * to all those functions, simplifying work on moving types/objects/state to the interpreter
* consistent naming conventions help make what's going on more clear
* keeping API related to a type in the corresponding header file makes it more obvious where to look for it
https://bugs.python.org/issue46008
* Make generator, coroutine and async gen structs all the same size.
* Store interpreter frame in generator (and coroutine). Reduces the number of allocations neeeded for a generator from two to one.
Rename PyConfig.no_debug_ranges to PyConfig.code_debug_ranges and
invert the value.
Document -X no_debug_ranges and PYTHONNODEBUGRANGES env var in
PyConfig.code_debug_ranges documentation.
* Make internal APIs that take PyFrameConstructor take a PyFunctionObject instead.
* Add reference to function to frame, borrow references to builtins and globals.
* Add COPY_FREE_VARS instruction to allow specialization of calls to inner functions.
Keep track of whether unsafe_tuple_compare() calls are resolved by the very
first tuple elements, and adjust strategy accordingly. This can significantly
cut the number of calls made to the full-blown PyObject_RichCompareBool(),
and especially when duplicates are rare.

MAP_BOT_LENGTH was incorrectly used to compute MAP_TOP_MASK instead of
MAP_TOP_LENGTH. On 64-bit machines, the error causes the tree to hold
46-bits of virtual addresses, rather than the intended 48-bits.
Freelists for object structs can now be disabled. A new ``configure``
option ``--without-freelists`` can be used to disable all freelists
except empty tuple singleton. Internal Py*_MAXFREELIST macros can now
be defined as 0 without causing compiler warnings and segfaults.

Move Include/longobject.h non-limited API to a new
Include/cpython/longobject.h header file.
Move the following definitions to the internal C API:
* _PyLong_DigitValue
* _PyLong_FormatAdvancedWriter()
* _PyLong_FormatWriter()
* Avoid making C calls for most calls to Python functions.
* Change initialize_locals(steal=true) and _PyTuple_FromArraySteal to consume the argument references regardless of whether they succeed or fail.
Rename Include/namespaceobject.h to
Include/internal/pycore_namespace.h.
The _testmultiphase extension is now built with the
Py_BUILD_CORE_MODULE macro defined to access _PyNamespace_Type.
object.c: remove unused "pycore_context.h" include.
Move classobject.h, context.h, genobject.h and longintrepr.h header
files from Include/ to Include/cpython/.
Remove redundant "#ifndef Py_LIMITED_API" in context.h.
Remove explicit #include "longintrepr.h" in C files. It's not needed,
Python.h already includes it.
* Move _PyObject_VectorcallTstate() and _PyObject_FastCallTstate() to
pycore_call.h (internal C API).
* Convert PyObject_CallOneArg(), PyObject_Vectorcall(),
_PyObject_FastCall() and PyVectorcall_Function() static inline
functions to regular functions.
* Add _PyVectorcall_FunctionInline() static inline function.
* PyObject_Vectorcall(), _PyObject_FastCall(), and
PyObject_CallOneArg() now call _PyThreadState_GET() rather
than PyThreadState_Get().
They support now splitting escape sequences between input chunks.
Add the third parameter "final" in codecs.raw_unicode_escape_decode().
It is True by default to match the former behavior.
They support now splitting escape sequences between input chunks.
Add the third parameter "final" in codecs.unicode_escape_decode().
It is True by default to match the former behavior.
Move Include/pystrhex.h to Include/internal/pycore_strhex.h.
The header file only contains private functions.
The following C extensions are now built with Py_BUILD_CORE_MODULE
macro defined to get access to the internal C API:
* _blake2
* _hashopenssl
* _md5
* _sha1
* _sha3
* _ssl
* binascii
* Never change types' cached keys. It could invalidate inline attribute objects.
* Lazily create object dictionaries.
* Update specialization of LOAD/STORE_ATTR.
* Don't update shared keys version for deletion of value.
* Update gdb support to handle instance values.
* Rename SPLIT_KEYS opcodes to INSTANCE_VALUE.
Redefining the PyThreadState_GET() macro in pycore_pystate.h is
useless since it doesn't affect files not including it. Either use
_PyThreadState_GET() directly, or don't use pycore_pystate.h internal
C API. For example, the _testcapi extension don't use the internal C
API, but use the public PyThreadState_Get() function instead.
Replace PyThreadState_Get() with _PyThreadState_GET(). The
_PyThreadState_GET() macro is more efficient than PyThreadState_Get()
and PyThreadState_GET() function calls which call fail with a fatal
Python error.
posixmodule.c and _ctypes extension now include <windows.h> before
pycore header files (like pycore_call.h).
_PyTraceback_Add() now uses _PyErr_Fetch()/_PyErr_Restore() instead
of PyErr_Fetch()/PyErr_Restore().
The _decimal and _xxsubinterpreters extensions are now built with the
Py_BUILD_CORE_MODULE macro defined to get access to the internal C
API.
* Move _PyObject_CallNoArgs() to pycore_call.h (internal C API).
* _ssl, _sqlite and _testcapi extensions now call the public
PyObject_CallNoArgs() function, rather than _PyObject_CallNoArgs().
* _lsprof extension is now built with Py_BUILD_CORE_MODULE macro
defined to get access to internal _PyObject_CallNoArgs().
Fix typo in the private _PyObject_CallNoArg() function name: rename
it to _PyObject_CallNoArgs() to be consistent with the public
function PyObject_CallNoArgs().
Add _PyVectorcall_Call() helper function.
Add "assert(PyCallable_Check(callable));" to PyVectorcall_Call(),
similar check than PyVectorcall_Function().
Remove the following math macros using the errno variable:
* Py_ADJUST_ERANGE1()
* Py_ADJUST_ERANGE2()
* Py_OVERFLOWED()
* Py_SET_ERANGE_IF_OVERFLOW()
* Py_SET_ERRNO_ON_MATH_ERROR()
Create pycore_pymath.h internal header file.
Rename Py_ADJUST_ERANGE1() and Py_ADJUST_ERANGE2() to
_Py_ADJUST_ERANGE1() and _Py_ADJUST_ERANGE2(), and convert these
macros to static inline functions.
Move the following macros to pycore_pymath.h:
* _Py_IntegralTypeSigned()
* _Py_IntegralTypeMax()
* _Py_IntegralTypeMin()
* _Py_InIntegralTypeRange()
Detect refcount bugs in C extensions when the empty Unicode string
singleton is destroyed by mistake.
* Move forward declarations to the top of unicodeobject.c.
* Simplifiy unicode_is_singleton().
* Constructors of subclasses of some buitin classes (e.g. tuple, list,
frozenset) no longer accept arbitrary keyword arguments.
* Subclass of set can now define a __new__() method with additional
keyword parameters without overriding also __init__().
The deallocator function of the BaseException type now uses the
trashcan mecanism to prevent stack overflow. For example, when a
RecursionError instance is raised, it can be linked to another
RecursionError through the __context__ attribute or the __traceback__
attribute, and then a chain of exceptions is created. When the chain
is destroyed, nested deallocator function calls can crash with a
stack overflow if the chain is too long compared to the available
stack memory.
Fix PyAiter_Check to only check for the `__anext__` presense (not for
`__aiter__`). Rename `PyAiter_Check()` to `PyAIter_Check()`,
`PyObject_GetAiter()` -> `PyObject_GetAIter()`.

For list.sort(), replace our ad hoc merge ordering strategy with the principled, elegant,
and provably near-optimal one from Munro and Wild's "powersort".
Places the locals between the specials and stack. This is the more "natural" layout for a C struct, makes the code simpler and gives a slight speedup (~1%)
While the comment said 'We don't bother resizing localspluskinds',
this would cause .replace() to crash when it happened.
(Also types.CodeType(), but testing that is tedious, and this tests all
code paths.)
* Generalize cache names for LOAD_ATTR to allow store and delete specializations.
* Factor out specialization of attribute dictionary access.
* Specialize STORE_ATTR.
* Unify the C and Python implementations of OrderedDict.popitem().
The C implementation no longer calls ``__getitem__`` and ``__delitem__``
methods of the OrderedDict subclasses.
* Change popitem() and pop() methods of collections.OrderedDict
For consistency with dict both implementations (pure Python and C)
of these methods in OrderedDict no longer call __getitem__ and
__delitem__ methods of the OrderedDict subclasses.
Previously only the Python implementation of popitem() did not
call them.
* Convert "specials" array to InterpreterFrame struct, adding f_lasti, f_state and other non-debug FrameObject fields to it.
* Refactor, calls pushing the call to the interpreter upward toward _PyEval_Vector.
* Compute f_back when on thread stack, only filling in value when frame object outlives stack invocation.
* Move ownership of InterpreterFrame in generator from frame object to generator object.
* Do not create frame objects for Python calls.
* Do not create frame objects for generators.
* Remove code that checks Py_TPFLAGS_HAVE_VERSION_TAG
The field is always present in the type struct, as explained
in the added comment.
* Remove Py_TPFLAGS_HAVE_AM_SEND
The flag is not needed, and since it was added in 3.10 it can be removed now.
It no longer depends on the order of arguments.

The non-GC-type branch of subtype_dealloc is using the type of an object after freeing in the same unsafe way as GH-26274 fixes. (I believe the old news entry covers this change well enough.)
https://bugs.python.org/issue44184
Patch by Erik Welch.
bpo-19072 (#8405) allows `classmethod` to wrap other descriptors, but this does
not work when the wrapped descriptor mimics classmethod. The current PR fixes
this.
In Python 3.8 and before, one could create a callable descriptor such that this
works as expected (see Lib/test/test_decorators.py for examples):
```python
class A:
@myclassmethod
def f1(cls):
return cls
@classmethod
@myclassmethod
def f2(cls):
return cls
```
In Python 3.8 and before, `A.f2()` return `A`. Currently in Python 3.9, it
returns `type(A)`. This PR make `A.f2()` return `A` again.
As of #8405, classmethod calls `obj.__get__(type)` if `obj` has `__get__`.
This allows one to chain `@classmethod` and `@property` together. When
using classmethod-like descriptors, it's the second argument to `__get__`--the
owner or the type--that is important, but this argument is currently missing.
Since it is None, the "owner" argument is assumed to be the type of the first
argument, which, in this case, is wrong (we want `A`, not `type(A)`).
This PR updates classmethod to call `obj.__get__(type, type)` if `obj` has
`__get__`.

E.g. issubclass(type(None), int | None) returns now True.
* Fix issubclass() for virtual subclasses.
E.g. issubclass(dict, int | collections.abc.Mapping) returns now True.
* Fix crash in isinstance() if the check for one of items raises exception.
Heap types with the Py_TPFLAGS_IMMUTABLETYPE flag can now inherit the

This PR is part of PEP 657 and augments the compiler to emit ending
line numbers as well as starting and ending columns from the AST
into compiled code objects. This allows bytecodes to be correlated
to the exact source code ranges that generated them.
This information is made available through the following public APIs:
* The `co_positions` method on code objects.
* The C API function `PyCode_Addr2Location`.

_PyObject_GetMethod() now uses _PyType_IsReady() to decide if
PyType_Ready() must be called or not, rather than testing if
tp->tp_dict is NULL.
Move also variable declarations closer to where they are used, and
use Py_NewRef().
Add an internal _PyType_AllocNoTrack() function to allocate an object
without tracking it in the GC.
Modify dict_new() to use _PyType_AllocNoTrack(): dict subclasses are
now only tracked once all PyDictObject members are initialized.
Calling _PyObject_GC_UNTRACK() is no longer needed for the dict type.
Similar change in tuple_subtype_new() for tuple subclasses.
Replace tuple_gc_track() with _PyObject_GC_TRACK().
Remove 4 C API private trashcan functions which were only kept for
the backward compatibility of the stable ABI with Python 3.8 and
older, since the trashcan API was not usable with the limited C API
on Python 3.8 and older. The trashcan API was excluded from the
limited C API in Python 3.9.
Removed functions:
* _PyTrash_deposit_object()
* _PyTrash_destroy_chain()
* _PyTrash_thread_deposit_object()
* _PyTrash_thread_destroy_chain()
The trashcan C API was never usable with the limited C API, since old
trashcan macros accessed directly PyThreadState members like
"_tstate->trash_delete_nesting", whereas the PyThreadState structure
is opaque in the limited C API.
Exclude also the PyTrash_UNWIND_LEVEL constant from the C API.
The trashcan C API was modified in Python 3.9 by commit
38965ec541 and in Python 3.10 by commit
ed1a5a5bac to hide implementation
details.
PyModuleDef_Init() no longer tries to make PyModule_Type type: it's
already done by _PyTypes_Init() at Python startup. Replace
PyType_Ready() call with an assertion.
1. Remove conditions already checked by assert()
2. Remove object_init() call that effectively creates an empty tuple and
checks that this tuple is empty
Currently, if an arg value escapes (into the closure for an inner function) we end up allocating two indices in the fast locals even though only one gets used. Additionally, using the lower index would be better in some cases, such as with no-arg `super()`. To address this, we update the compiler to fix the offsets so each variable only gets one "fast local". As a consequence, now some cell offsets are interspersed with the locals (only when an arg escapes to an inner function).

* Specialize LOAD_ATTR for module attributes.
* Add specialization stats

Merges locals and cells into a single array.
Saves a pointer in the interpreter and means that we don't need the LOAD_CLOSURE opcode any more
https://bugs.python.org/issue43693
A number of places in the code base (notably ceval.c and frameobject.c) rely on mapping variable names to indices in the frame "locals plus" array (AKA fast locals), and thus opargs. Currently the compiler indirectly encodes that information on the code object as the tuples co_varnames, co_cellvars, and co_freevars. At runtime the dependent code must calculate the proper mapping from those, which isn't ideal and impacts performance-sensitive sections. This is something we can easily address in the compiler instead.
This change addresses the situation by replacing internal use of co_varnames, etc. with a single combined tuple of names in locals-plus order, along with a minimal array mapping each to its kind (local vs. cell vs. free). These two new PyCodeObject fields, co_fastlocalnames and co_fastllocalkinds, are not exposed to Python code for now, but co_varnames, etc. are still available with the same values as before (though computed lazily).
Aside from the (mild) performance impact, there are a number of other benefits:
* there's now a clear, direct relationship between locals-plus and variables
* code that relies on the locals-plus-to-name mapping is simpler
* marshaled code objects are smaller and serialize/de-serialize faster
Also note that we can take this approach further by expanding the possible values in co_fastlocalkinds to include specific argument types (e.g. positional-only, kwargs). Doing so would allow further speed-ups in _PyEval_MakeFrameVector(), which is where args get unpacked into the locals-plus array. It would also allow us to shrink marshaled code objects even further.
https://bugs.python.org/issue43693
The PyType_Ready() function now raises an error if a type is defined
with the Py_TPFLAGS_HAVE_GC flag set but has no traverse function
(PyTypeObject.tp_traverse).
* Move up the comment about fields using in hashing/comparision.
* Group the fields more clearly.
* Add co_ncellvars and co_nfreevars.
* Raise ValueError if nlocals != len(varnames), rather than aborting.
Fix a regression in type() when a metaclass raises an exception. The
C function type_new() must properly report the exception when a
metaclass constructor raises an exception and the winner class is not
the metaclass.
Fix a crash at Python exit when a deallocator function removes the
last strong reference to a heap type.
Don't read type memory after calling basedealloc() since
basedealloc() can deallocate the type and free its memory.
_PyMem_IsPtrFreed() argument is now constant.
* Remove 'zombie' frames. We won't need them once we are allocating fixed-size frames.
* Add co_nlocalplus field to code object to avoid recomputing size of locals + frees + cells.
* Move locals, cells and freevars out of frame object into separate memory buffer.
* Use per-threadstate allocated memory chunks for local variables.
* Move globals and builtins from frame object to per-thread stack.
* Move (slow) locals frame object to per-thread stack.
* Move internal frame functions to internal header.
These are passed and called as PyCFunction, however they are defined here without the (ignored) args parameter.
This works fine in some C compilers, but fails in webassembly or anything else that has strict function pointer call type checking.
"Zero cost" exception handling.
* Uses a lookup table to determine how to handle exceptions.
* Removes SETUP_FINALLY and POP_TOP block instructions, eliminating (most of) the runtime overhead of try statements.
* Reduces the size of the frame object by about 60%.
check_set_special_type_attr() and type_set_annotations()
now check for immutable flag (Py_TPFLAGS_IMMUTABLETYPE).
