Issue #26563:
* Add _PyGILState_GetInterpreterStateUnsafe() function: the single
PyInterpreterState used by this process' GILState implementation.
* Enhance _Py_DumpTracebackThreads() to retrieve the interpreter state from
autoInterpreterState in last resort. The function now accepts NULL for interp
and current_tstate parameters.
* test_faulthandler: fix a ResourceWarning when test is interrupted by CTRL+c
Issue #26563: Replace PyMem_Malloc() with PyMem_RawMalloc() in the Windows
implementation of os.stat(), since the code is called without holding the GIL.
Issue #26563: Debug hooks on Python memory allocators now raise a fatal error
if functions of the PyMem_Malloc() family are called without holding the GIL.
This reverts most of revision 3092cf163eb4. The change worked on x86
architectures, but did not work on ARM, probably due to extra ABI flags in
the ldconfig output.
Issue #26538: libregrtest: Fix setup_tests() to keep module.__path__ type
(_NamespacePath), don't convert to a list.
Add _NamespacePath.__setitem__() method to importlib._bootstrap_external.
Issue #26564: _PyObject_DebugDumpAddress() now dumps the traceback where a
memory block was allocated on memory block. Use the tracemalloc module to get
the traceback.
Issue #26564:
* Expose _Py_DumpASCII() and _Py_DumpDecimal() in traceback.h
* Change the type of the second _Py_DumpASCII() parameter from int to unsigned
long
* Rewrite _Py_DumpDecimal() and dump_hexadecimal() to write directly characters
in the expected order, avoid the need of reversing the string.
* dump_hexadecimal() limits width to the size of the buffer
* _Py_DumpASCII() does nothing if the object is not a Unicode string
* dump_frame() wrtites "???" as the line number if the line number is negative
* Add Lib/test/signalinterproctester.py
* Don't disable the garbage collector anymore
* Don't use os.fork() with a subprocess to not inherit existing signal handlers
or threads: start from a fresh process
* Don't use UNIX kill command to send a signal but Python os.kill()
* Use a timeout of 10 seconds to wait for the signal instead of 1 second
* Always use signal.pause(), instead of time.wait(1), to wait for a signal
* Use context manager on subprocess.Popen
* remove code to retry on EINTR: it's no more needed since the PEP 475
* remove unused function exit_subprocess()
* Cleanup the code
Issue #10915, #15751, #26558:
* PyGILState_Check() now returns 1 (success) before the creation of the GIL and
after the destruction of the GIL. It allows to use the function early in
Python initialization and late in Python finalization.
* Add a flag to disable PyGILState_Check(). Disable PyGILState_Check() when
Py_NewInterpreter() is called
* Add assert(PyGILState_Check()) to: _Py_dup(), _Py_fstat(), _Py_read()
and _Py_write()
Issue #26558: If Py_FatalError() is called without the GIL, don't try to print
the current exception, nor try to flush stdout and stderr: only dump the
traceback of Python threads.
Issue #26558: If Py_FatalError() is called without the GIL, don't try to print
the current exception, nor try to flush stdout and stderr: only dump the
traceback of Python threads.
Issue #26516:
* Add PYTHONMALLOC environment variable to set the Python memory
allocators and/or install debug hooks.
* PyMem_SetupDebugHooks() can now also be used on Python compiled in release
mode.
* The PYTHONMALLOCSTATS environment variable can now also be used on Python
compiled in release mode. It now has no effect if set to an empty string.
* In debug mode, debug hooks are now also installed on Python memory allocators
when Python is configured without pymalloc.
