bpo-37802, bpo-38321: Fix the following warnings:
longobject.c(420): warning C4244: 'function': conversion from
'unsigned __int64' to 'sdigit', possible loss of data
longobject.c(428): warning C4267: 'function': conversion from
'size_t' to 'sdigit', possible loss of data
* Split _Py_InitializeCore_impl() into subfunctions: add multiple pycore_init_xxx() functions
* Preliminary sys.stderr is now set earlier to get an usable
sys.stderr ealier.
* Move code into _Py_Initialize_ReconfigureCore() to be able to call
it from _Py_InitializeCore().
* Split _PyExc_Init(): create a new _PyBuiltins_AddExceptions()
function.
* Call _PyExc_Init() earlier in _Py_InitializeCore_impl()
and new_interpreter() to get working exceptions earlier.
* _Py_ReadyTypes() now returns _PyInitError rather than calling
Py_FatalError().
* Misc code cleanup
Configuring python with ./configure --with-pydebug CFLAGS="-D COUNT_ALLOCS -O0"
makes "make smelly" fail as some symbols were being exported without the "Py_" or
"_Py" prefixes.
* Convert PyObject_INIT() and PyObject_INIT_VAR() macros to static
inline functions.
* Fix usage of these functions: cast to PyObject* or PyVarObject*.
METH_NOARGS functions need only a single argument but they are cast
into a PyCFunction, which takes two arguments. This triggers an
invalid function cast warning in gcc8 due to the argument mismatch.
Fix this by adding a dummy unused argument.
Explicitly cast digits (Py_ssize_t) to double to fix the following
false-alarm warning from Coverity:
"fsize_z = digits * log_base_BASE[base] + 1;"
CID 1424951: Incorrect expression (UNINTENDED_INTEGER_DIVISION)
Dividing integer expressions "9223372036854775783UL" and "4UL", and
then converting the integer quotient to type "double". Any remainder,
or fractional part of the quotient, is ignored.
* Add Py_UNREACHABLE() as an alias to abort().
* Use Py_UNREACHABLE() instead of assert(0)
* Convert more unreachable code to use Py_UNREACHABLE()
* Document Py_UNREACHABLE() and a few other macros.
Issue #28858: The change b9c9691c72c5 introduced a regression. It seems like
_PyObject_CallArg1() uses more stack memory than
PyObject_CallFunctionObjArgs().
* PyObject_CallFunctionObjArgs(func, NULL) => _PyObject_CallNoArg(func)
* PyObject_CallFunctionObjArgs(func, arg, NULL) => _PyObject_CallArg1(func, arg)
PyObject_CallFunctionObjArgs() allocates 40 bytes on the C stack and requires
extra work to "parse" C arguments to build a C array of PyObject*.
_PyObject_CallNoArg() and _PyObject_CallArg1() are simpler and don't allocate
memory on the C stack.
This change is part of the fastcall project. The change on listsort() is
related to the issue #23507.
