* Add mimalloc v2.12
Modified src/alloc.c to remove include of alloc-override.c and not
compile new handler.
Did not include the following files:
- include/mimalloc-new-delete.h
- include/mimalloc-override.h
- src/alloc-override-osx.c
- src/alloc-override.c
- src/static.c
- src/region.c
mimalloc is thread safe and shares a single heap across all runtimes,
therefore finalization and getting global allocated blocks across all
runtimes is different.
* mimalloc: minimal changes for use in Python:
- remove debug spam for freeing large allocations
- use same bytes (0xDD) for freed allocations in CPython and mimalloc
This is important for the test_capi debug memory tests
* Don't export mimalloc symbol in libpython.
* Enable mimalloc as Python allocator option.
* Add mimalloc MIT license.
* Log mimalloc in Lib/test/pythoninfo.py.
* Document new mimalloc support.
* Use macro defs for exports as done in:

* PyUnicode_AsUTF8() now raises an exception if the string contains
embedded null characters.
* Update related C API tests (test_capi.test_unicode).
* type_new_set_doc() uses PyUnicode_AsUTF8AndSize() to silently
truncate doc containing null bytes.

Clarify the size of arenas
From 3.10.0 alpha 7, the pymalloc allocator uses arenas with a fixed size of 1
MiB on 64-bit platforms instead of 256 KiB on 32-bit platforms.
It already mostly worked, except in the case when invalid keyword
argument with non-ASCII name was passed to function with non-ASCII
parameter names. Then it crashed in the debug mode.
* gh-110803: Reorganize docs for what PyType_Slot doesn't cover
- Cover the offset fields first
- Mention the old alternative for MANAGED flags, which is needed
to support older Pythons
- De-emphasize the internal flags: use an inline list.
- Add a note to PyMemberDef saying what to do with it
* Remove an older draft...
sys.audit() now has assertions to check that the event argument is
not NULL and that the format argument does not use the "N" format.
Add tests on PySys_AuditTuple().
Add PyThreadState_GetUnchecked() function: similar to
PyThreadState_Get(), but don't issue a fatal error if it is NULL. The
caller is responsible to check if the result is NULL. Previously,
this function was private and known as _PyThreadState_UncheckedGet().
Make PyObject_VisitManagedDict() and PyObject_ClearManagedDict()
functions public in Python 3.13 C API.
* Rename _PyObject_VisitManagedDict() to PyObject_VisitManagedDict().
* Rename _PyObject_ClearManagedDict() to PyObject_ClearManagedDict().
* Document these functions.
Document PyMODINIT_FUNC macro.
Remove links to PyAPI_FUNC() and PyAPI_DATA() macros since they are
not documented. These macros should only be used to define the Python
C API. They should not be used outside Python code base.
* Express functions which take argument as a C string in terms of
functions which take Python object.
* Use "note" directive for PyMapping_HasKey() and
PyMapping_HasKeyString() notes.
Python built with "configure --with-trace-refs" (tracing references)
is now ABI compatible with Python release build and debug build.
Moreover, it now also supports the Limited API.
Change Py_TRACE_REFS build:
* Remove _PyObject_EXTRA_INIT macro.
* The PyObject structure no longer has two extra members (_ob_prev
and _ob_next).
* Use a hash table (_Py_hashtable_t) to trace references (all
objects): PyInterpreterState.object_state.refchain.
* Py_TRACE_REFS build is now ABI compatible with release build and
debug build.
* Limited C API extensions can now be built with Py_TRACE_REFS:
xxlimited, xxlimited_35, _testclinic_limited.
* No longer rename PyModule_Create2() and PyModule_FromDefAndSpec2()
functions to PyModule_Create2TraceRefs() and
PyModule_FromDefAndSpec2TraceRefs().
* _Py_PrintReferenceAddresses() is now called before
finalize_interp_delete() which deletes the refchain hash table.
* test_tracemalloc find_trace() now also filters by size to ignore
the memory allocated by _PyRefchain_Trace().
Test changes for Py_TRACE_REFS:
* Add test.support.Py_TRACE_REFS constant.
* Add test_sys.test_getobjects() to test sys.getobjects() function.
* test_exceptions skips test_recursion_normalizing_with_no_memory()
and test_memory_error_in_PyErr_PrintEx() if Python is built with
Py_TRACE_REFS.
* test_repl skips test_no_memory().
* test_capi skisp test_set_nomemory().
PEP 683 (immortal objects) revealed some ways in which the Python documentation has been unnecessarily coupled to the implementation details of reference counts. In the end users should focus on reference ownership, including taking references and releasing them, rather than on how many reference counts an object has.
This change updates the documentation to reflect that perspective. It also updates the docs relative to immortal objects in a handful of places.
Declare the following functions as macros, since they are actually
macros. It avoids a warning on "TYPE" or "macro" argument.
* PyMem_New()
* PyMem_Resize()
* PyModule_AddIntMacro()
* PyModule_AddStringMacro()
* PyObject_GC_New()
* PyObject_GC_NewVar()
* PyObject_New()
* PyObject_NewVar()
Add C standard C types to nitpick_ignore in Doc/conf.py:
* int64_t
* uint64_t
* uintptr_t
No longer ignore non existing "__int" type in nitpick_ignore.
Update Doc/tools/.nitignore
The documentation implies that PyVectorcall_Function() was available in Python 3.8.
This is half-true - it was available under a different name. I think it's clearer to set
the "version added" to 3.9.
* Add PyDict_GetItemRef() and PyDict_GetItemStringRef() functions.
Add these functions to the stable ABI version 3.13.
* Add unit tests on the PyDict C API in test_capi.
Schedule the removal of C API global configuration variables in
Python 3.14. Announce the removal to help C extension maintainers to
upgrade their code.
PyTuple_SET_ITEM() and PyList_SET_ITEM() now check the index argument
with an assertion if Python is built in debug mode or is built with
assertions.
* list_extend() and _PyList_AppendTakeRef() now set the list size
before calling PyList_SET_ITEM().
* PyStructSequence_GetItem() and PyStructSequence_SetItem() now check
the index argument: must be lesser than REAL_SIZE(op).
* PyStructSequence_GET_ITEM() and PyStructSequence_SET_ITEM() are now
aliases to PyStructSequence_GetItem() and
PyStructSequence_SetItem().
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.
* Add tests on PyImport_AddModuleRef(), PyImport_AddModule() and
PyImport_AddModuleObject().
* pythonrun.c: Replace Py_XNewRef(PyImport_AddModule(name)) with
PyImport_AddModuleRef(name).
_PyUnicode_ToLowercase(), _PyUnicode_ToUppercase(),
_PyUnicode_ToTitlecase() are no longer deprecated in the
documentation. It's no longer needed since they now use Py_UCS4 type,
rather than the deprecated Py_UNICODE type.
Remove functions in the C API:
* PyEval_AcquireLock()
* PyEval_ReleaseLock()
* PyEval_InitThreads()
* PyEval_ThreadsInitialized()
But keep these functions in the stable ABI.
Mention "make regen-limited-abi" in "make regen-all".
Remove the following old functions to configure the Python
initialization, deprecated in Python 3.11:
* PySys_AddWarnOptionUnicode()
* PySys_AddWarnOption()
* PySys_AddXOption()
* PySys_HasWarnOptions()
* PySys_SetArgvEx()
* PySys_SetArgv()
* PySys_SetPath()
* Py_SetPath()
* Py_SetProgramName()
* Py_SetPythonHome()
* Py_SetStandardStreamEncoding()
* _Py_SetProgramFullPath()
Most of these functions are kept in the stable ABI, except:
* Py_SetStandardStreamEncoding()
* _Py_SetProgramFullPath()
Update Doc/extending/embedding.rst and Doc/extending/extending.rst to
use the new PyConfig API.
_testembed.c:
* check_stdio_details() now sets stdio_encoding and stdio_errors
of PyConfig.
* Add definitions of functions removed from the API but kept in the
stable ABI.
* test_init_from_config() and test_init_read_set() now use
PyConfig_SetString() instead of PyConfig_SetBytesString().
Remove _Py_ClearStandardStreamEncoding() internal function.
Deprecate the old Py_UNICODE and PY_UNICODE_TYPE types in the C API:
use wchar_t instead.
Replace Py_UNICODE with wchar_t in multiple C files.

* Support for conversion specifiers o (octal) and X (uppercase hexadecimal).
* Support for length modifiers j (intmax_t) and t (ptrdiff_t).
* Length modifiers are now applied to all integer conversions.
* Support for wchar_t C strings (%ls and %lV).
* Support for variable width and precision (*).
* Support for flag - (left alignment).
