Remove private _PySequence_BytesToCharpArray() and
_Py_FreeCharPArray() functions from the public C API: move these
functions from Objects/abstract.c to Modules/_posixsubprocess.c.
Remove old aliases which were kept backwards compatibility with
Python 3.8:
* _PyObject_CallMethodNoArgs()
* _PyObject_CallMethodOneArg()
* _PyObject_CallOneArg()
* _PyObject_FastCallDict()
* _PyObject_Vectorcall()
* _PyObject_VectorcallMethod()
* _PyVectorcall_Function()
Update code which used these aliases to use new names.
Use a note:: tag so that these dict and object API deficiencies show up clearly.
A caution:: tag was considered, but our current python docs rendering doesn't do much with that (no box or color change). warning:: seemed too extreme. note looks good.
These functions are broken by design because they discard any exceptions raised
inside, including MemoryError and KeyboardInterrupt. They should not be
used in new code.
* PyDict_GetItem() and PyObject_HasAttr() suppress arbitrary errors and
should not be used.
* PyUnicode_CompareWithASCIIString() only works if the second argument
is ASCII string.
* Refleak in get_suggestions_for_name_error.
* Use of borrowed pointer after possible freeing (self).
* Add some missing error checks.
Remove _PyWeakref_GetWeakrefCount() and _PyWeakref_ClearRef() from
the public C API: move them to the internal C API.
Refactor also _weakref_getweakrefs() code to make it more readable.
It now raises an exception if sys.modules doesn't hold a strong
reference to the module.
Elaborate the comment explaining why a weak reference is used to
create a borrowed reference.
* Replace PyWeakref_GET_OBJECT() with _PyWeakref_GET_REF().
* _sqlite/blob.c now holds a strong reference to the blob object
while calling close_blob().
* _xidregistry_find_type() now holds a strong reference to registered
while using it.
* Add _PyWeakref_IS_DEAD() internal function.
* Modify is_dead_weakref() of Modules/_weakref.c and
_pysqlite_drop_unused_cursor_references() to replace
PyWeakref_GET_OBJECT() with _PyWeakref_IS_DEAD().
* Replace "int i" with "Py_ssize_t i" to iterate on cursors
in _pysqlite_drop_unused_cursor_references().
This new exception type is raised instead of `NotImplementedError` when
a path operation is not supported. It can be raised from `Path.readlink()`,
`symlink_to()`, `hardlink_to()`, `owner()` and `group()`. In a future
version of pathlib, it will be raised by `AbstractPath` for these methods
and others, such as `AbstractPath.mkdir()` and `unlink()`.
finalize_modules_clear_weaklist() now holds a strong reference to the
module longer than before: replace PyWeakref_GET_OBJECT() with
_PyWeakref_GET_REF().
Rename PyDict_GetItemProxy() to _PyDict_GetItemProxy() and mark it as
static. _PyDict_GetItemProxy() now returns a strong reference,
instead of a borrowed reference: replace PyWeakref_GET_OBJECT() with
_PyWeakref_GET_REF().
Hold a strong reference on the object, rather than using a borrowed reference:
replace PyWeakref_GET_OBJECT() with PyWeakref_GetRef() and
_PyWeakref_GET_REF().
Remove assert(PyWeakref_CheckRef(localweakref)) since it's already
tested by _PyWeakref_GET_REF().
