* Add a new PyMemAllocators structure
* New functions:
- PyMem_RawMalloc(), PyMem_RawRealloc(), PyMem_RawFree(): GIL-free memory
allocator functions
- PyMem_GetRawAllocators(), PyMem_SetRawAllocators()
- PyMem_GetAllocators(), PyMem_SetAllocators()
- PyMem_SetupDebugHooks()
- _PyObject_GetArenaAllocators(), _PyObject_SetArenaAllocators()
* Add unit test for PyMem_Malloc(0) and PyObject_Malloc(0)
* Add unit test for new get/set allocators functions
* PyObject_Malloc() now falls back on PyMem_Malloc() instead of malloc() if
size is bigger than SMALL_REQUEST_THRESHOLD, and PyObject_Realloc() falls
back on PyMem_Realloc() instead of realloc()
* PyMem_Malloc() and PyMem_Realloc() now always call malloc() and realloc(),
instead of calling PyObject_Malloc() and PyObject_Realloc() in debug mode
Forgot to raise ModuleNotFoundError when None is found in sys.modules.
This led to introducing the C function PyErr_SetImportErrorSubclass()
to make setting ModuleNotFoundError easier.
Also updated the reference docs to mention ModuleNotFoundError
appropriately. Updated the docs for ModuleNotFoundError to mention the
None in sys.modules case.
Lastly, it was noticed that PyErr_SetImportError() was not setting an
exception when returning None in one case. That issue is now fixed.
ImportError.
The exception is raised by import when a module could not be found.
Technically this is defined as no viable loader could be found for the
specified module. This includes ``from ... import`` statements so that
the module usage is consistent for all situations where import
couldn't find what was requested.
This should allow for the common idiom of::
try:
import something
except ImportError:
pass
to be updated to using ModuleNotFoundError and not accidentally mask
ImportError messages that should propagate (e.g. issues with a
loader).
This work was driven by the fact that the ``from ... import``
statement needed to be able to tell the difference between an
ImportError that simply couldn't find a module (and thus silence the
exception so that ceval can raise it) and an ImportError that
represented an actual problem.
Note that this is a potentially disruptive change since it may
release some system resources which would otherwise remain
perpetually alive (e.g. database connections kept in thread-local
storage).
* Add also min_char attribute to _PyUnicodeWriter structure (currently unused)
* _PyUnicodeWriter_Init() has no more argument (except the writer itself):
min_length and overallocate must be set explicitly
* In error handlers, only enable overallocation if the replacement string
is longer than 1 character
* CJK decoders don't use overallocation anymore
* Set min_length, instead of preallocating memory using
_PyUnicodeWriter_Prepare(), in many decoders
* _PyUnicode_DecodeUnicodeInternal() checks for integer overflow
Write a function to enable more optimizations:
* If the substring is the whole string and overallocation is disabled, just
keep a reference to the string, don't copy characters
* Avoid a call to the expensive _PyUnicode_FindMaxChar() function when
possible
