If the initial import of warnings fails, clear the error. When the module
is actually needed, if the original import failed, see if it has managed
to find its way to sys.modules yet and if so, remember it.
Fixes for three related bugs, including errors that caused a script to
be ignored without printing an error message. The key problem was a bad
interaction between syntax warnings and syntax errors. If an
exception was already set when a warning was issued, the warning could
clobber the exception.
The PyErr_Occurred() check in issue_warning() isn't entirely
satisfying (the caller should know whether there was already an
error), but a better solution isn't immediately obvious.

behavior, creating many threads very quickly. A long debugging session
revealed that the Windows implementation of PyThread_start_new_thread()
was choked with "laziness" errors:
1. It checked MS _beginthread() for a failure return, but when that
happened it returned heap trash as the function result, instead of
an id of -1 (the proper error-return value).
2. It didn't consider that the Win32 CreateSemaphore() can fail.
3. When creating a great many threads very quickly, it's quite possible
that any particular bootstrap call can take virtually any amount of
time to return. But the code waited for a maximum of 5 seconds, and
didn't check to see whether the semaphore it was waiting for got
signaled. If it in fact timed out, the function could again return
heap trash as the function result. This is actually what confused
the test program, as the heap trash usually turned out to be 0, and
then multiple threads all got id 0 simultaneously, confusing the
hell out of threading.py's _active dict (mapping id to thread
object). A variety of baffling behaviors followed from that.
WRT #1 and #2, error returns are checked now, and "thread.error: can't
start new thread" gets raised now if a new thread (or new semaphore)
can't be created. WRT #3, we now wait for the semaphore without a
timeout.
Also removed useless local vrbls, folded long lines, and changed callobj
to a stack auto (it was going thru malloc/free instead, for no discernible
reason).

A new API (only accessible from C) to interrupt a thread by sending it
an exception. This is not always effective, but might help some people.
Requested by Just van Rossum and Alex Martelli. It is intentional
that you have to write your own C extension to call it from Python.
Docs will have to wait.
It depended on the previously removed basic block checker to
prevent a jump into the middle of the transformed block.
Clears SF 757818: tuple assignment -- SystemError: unknown opcode
The compiler was reseting the list comprehension tmpname counter for each function, but the symtable was using the same counter for the entire module. Repair by move tmpname into the symtable entry.

[ 708901 ] Lineno calculation sometimes broken
A one line patch to compile.c and a rather-more-than-one-line patch
to test_dis. Hey ho.
Possibly a backport candidate -- tho' lnotab is less used in 2.2...
* Can now test for basic blocks.
* Optimize inverted comparisions.
* Optimize unary_not followed by a conditional jump.
* Added a new opcode, NOP, to keep code size constant.
* Applied NOP to previous transformations where appropriate.
Note, the NOP would not be necessary if other functions were
added to re-target jump addresses and update the co_lnotab mapping.
That would yield slightly faster and cleaner bytecode at the
expense of optimizer simplicity and of keeping it decoupled
from the line-numbering structure.
particular leaving the traceback object (and everything reachable
from it) alive throughout shutdown. The patch is mostly from Guido.

new line.
New pvt API function _Py_PrintReferenceAddresses(): Prints only the
addresses and refcnts of the live objects. This is always safe to call,
because it has no dependence on Python's C API.
Py_Finalize(): If envar PYTHONDUMPREFS is set, call (the new)
_Py_PrintReferenceAddresses() right before dumping final pymalloc stats.
We can't print the reprs of the objects here because too much of the
interpreter has been shut down. You need to correlate the addresses
displayed here with the object reprs printed by the earlier
PYTHONDUMPREFS call to _Py_PrintReferences().
New functions:
unsigned long PyInt_AsUnsignedLongMask(PyObject *);
unsigned PY_LONG_LONG) PyInt_AsUnsignedLongLongMask(PyObject *);
unsigned long PyLong_AsUnsignedLongMask(PyObject *);
unsigned PY_LONG_LONG) PyLong_AsUnsignedLongLongMask(PyObject *);
New and changed format codes:
b unsigned char 0..UCHAR_MAX
B unsigned char none **
h unsigned short 0..USHRT_MAX
H unsigned short none **
i int INT_MIN..INT_MAX
I * unsigned int 0..UINT_MAX
l long LONG_MIN..LONG_MAX
k * unsigned long none
L long long LLONG_MIN..LLONG_MAX
K * unsigned long long none
Notes:
* New format codes.
** Changed from previous "range-and-a-half" to "none"; the
range-and-a-half checking wasn't particularly useful.
New test test_getargs2.py, to verify all this.
PYTHONDUMPREFS output after most teardown. Attempts to use
PYTHONDUMPREFS with the Zope3 test suite died with Py_FatalError(),
since _Py_PrintReferences() can end up executing arbitrary Python code
(for objects that override __repr__), and that requires an intact
interpreter.
