This changeset increases the default size of the stack
for threads on macOS to the size of the stack
of the main thread and reenables the relevant
recursion test.
Reduce the number of unit tests run for the PGO generation task. This
speeds up the task by a factor of about 15x. Running the full unit test
suite is slow. This change may result in a slightly less optimized build
since not as many code branches will be executed. If you are willing to
wait for the much slower build, the old behavior can be restored using
'./configure [..] PROFILE_TASK="-m test --pgo-extended"'. We make no
guarantees as to which PGO task set produces a faster build. Users who
care should run their own relevant benchmarks as results can depend on
the environment, workload, and compiler tool chain.
Under some conditions the earlier fix for bpo-18075, "Infinite recursion
tests triggering a segfault on Mac OS X", now causes failures on macOS
when attempting to change stack limit with resource.setrlimit
resource.RLIMIT_STACK, like regrtest does when running the test suite.
The reverted change had specified a non-default stack size when linking
the python executable on macOS. As of macOS 10.14.4, the previous
code causes a hard failure when running tests, although similar
failures had been seen under some conditions under some earlier
systems. Reverting the change to the interpreter stack size at link
time helped for release builds but caused some tests to fail when
built --with-pydebug. Try the opposite approach: continue to build
the interpreter with an increased stack size on macOS and remove
the failing setrlimit call in regrtest initialization. This will
definitely avoid the resource.RLIMIT_STACK error and should have
no, or fewer, side effects.

It is also possible to link against a library or executable with a
statically linked libpython, but not both with the same DLL. In fact
building a statically linked python is currently broken on Cygwin
for other (related) reasons.
The same problem applies to other POSIX-like layers over Windows
(MinGW, MSYS) but Python's build system does not seem to attempt
to support those platforms at the moment.
To embed Python into an application, a new --embed option must be
passed to "python3-config --libs --embed" to get "-lpython3.8" (link
the application to libpython). To support both 3.8 and older, try
"python3-config --libs --embed" first and fallback to "python3-config
--libs" (without --embed) if the previous command fails.
Add a pkg-config "python-3.8-embed" module to embed Python into an
application: "pkg-config python-3.8-embed --libs" includes
"-lpython3.8". To support both 3.8 and older, try "pkg-config
python-X.Y-embed --libs" first and fallback to "pkg-config python-X.Y
--libs" (without --embed) if the previous command fails (replace
"X.Y" with the Python version).
On the other hand, "pkg-config python3.8 --libs" no longer contains
"-lpython3.8". C extensions must not be linked to libpython (except
on Android, case handled by the script); this change is backward
incompatible on purpose.
"make install" now also installs "python-3.8-embed.pc".
Under some conditions the earlier fix for bpo-18075, "Infinite recursion
tests triggering a segfault on Mac OS X", now causes failures on macOS
when attempting to change stack limit with resource.setrlimit
resource.RLIMIT_STACK, like regrtest does when running the test suite.
The reverted change had specified a non-default stack size when linking
the python executable on macOS. As of macOS 10.14.4, the previous
code causes a hard failure when running tests, although similar
failures had been seen under some conditions under some earlier
systems. For now, revert the original change and resume using
the default stack size when linking the interpreter.
Release build and debug build are now ABI compatible: the Py_DEBUG
define no longer implies Py_TRACE_REFS define which introduces the
only ABI incompatibility.
A new "./configure --with-trace-refs" build option is now required to
get Py_TRACE_REFS define which adds sys.getobjects() function and
PYTHONDUMPREFS environment variable.
Changes:
* Add ./configure --with-trace-refs
* Py_DEBUG no longer implies Py_TRACE_REFS
"./configure --with-pymalloc" no longer adds the "m" flag to SOABI
(sys.implementation.cache_tag).
Enabling or disabling pymalloc has no impact on the ABI.
Add -fmax-type-align=8 to CFLAGS when clang compiler is detected.
The pymalloc memory allocator aligns memory on 8 bytes. On x86-64,
clang expects alignment on 16 bytes by default and so uses MOVAPS
instruction which can lead to segmentation fault. Instruct clang that
Python is limited to alignemnt on 8 bytes to use MOVUPS instruction
instead: slower but don't trigger a SIGSEGV if the memory is not
aligned on 16 bytes.
Sadly, the flag must be expected to CFLAGS and not just
CFLAGS_NODIST, since third party C extensions can have the same
issue.
On AIX, sys.platform doesn't contain the major version anymore.
Always return 'aix', instead of 'aix3' .. 'aix7'. Since
older Python versions include the version number, it is recommended to
always use sys.platform.startswith('aix').
Use autoconfig to probe for shm_open() and shm_unlink(). Set SHM_NEEDS_LIBRT if we must
link with librt to get the shm_* functions. Change setup.py to use the autoconfig defines. These
changes should make it more likely that _multiprocessing/posixshmem.c gets built correctly on
different platforms.
Use crypt_r() when available instead of crypt() in the crypt module.
As a nice side effect: This also avoids a memory sanitizer flake as clang msan doesn't know about crypt's internal libc allocated buffer.
When compiling 3rd party C extensions, the linker flags used by the
compiler for the interpreter and the stdlib modules, will get
leaked into distutils. In order to avoid that, the PY_CORE_LDFLAGS
and PY_LDFLAGS_NODIST are introduced to keep those flags separated.
When using link time optimizations, the -flto flag is passed to
BASECFLAGS, which makes it propagate to distutils. Those flags
should be reserved for the interpreter and the stdlib extension
modules only, thus moving those flags to CFLAGS_NODIST.
Adds configure flags for msan and ubsan builds to make it easier to enable.
These also encode the detail that address sanitizer and memory sanitizer
should disable pymalloc.
Define MEMORY_SANITIZER when appropriate at build time and adds workarounds
to existing code to mark things as initialized where the sanitizer is otherwise unable to
determine that. This lets our build succeed under the memory sanitizer. not all tests
pass without sanitizer failures yet but we're in pretty good shape after this.
.o generated by clang in LTO mode actually are LLVM bitcode files, which
leads to a few errors during configure/build step:
- add lto flags to the BASECFLAGS instead of CFLAGS, as CFLAGS are used
to build autoconf test case, and some are not compatible with clang LTO
(they assume binary in the .o, not bitcode)
- force llvm-ar instead of ar, as ar is not aware of .o files generated
by clang -flto
It is unused.

bpo-32430: Rename Modules/Setup.dist to Modules/Setup
Remove the necessity to copy the former manually to the latter when updating the local source tree.
This issue covers various changes for the macOS installers provided via python.org for 3.7.0.
- Provide a provisional new installer variant for macOS 10.9 and later systems with 64-bit (x86_64) architecture only. Apple has made it known that future versions of macOS will only fully support 64-bit executables and some other third-party software suppliers have chosen 10.9 as their oldest supported system.
- Support **Tcl/Tk 8.6** with the 10.9 installer variant.
- Upgrade **OpenSSL** to 1.1.0g and **SQLite** to 3.22.0.
- The compiler name used for the interpreter build and for modules built with **Distutils / pip** is now _gcc_ rather than _gcc-4.2_. And extension module builds will no longer try to force use of an old SDK if present.
Until now Python used a hard coded white list of default TLS cipher
suites. The old approach has multiple downsides. OpenSSL's default
selection was completely overruled. Python did neither benefit from new
cipher suites (ChaCha20, TLS 1.3 suites) nor blacklisted cipher suites.
For example we used to re-enable 3DES.
Python now defaults to OpenSSL DEFAULT cipher suite selection and black
lists all unwanted ciphers. Downstream vendors can override the default
cipher list with --with-ssl-default-suites.

glibc is deprecating libcrypt in favor of libxcrypt, however python assumes
that crypt.h will always be included. This change makes the header inclusion
explicit when libxcrypt is present on the system.
Add https://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf-archive/ax_check_openssl.html

This module has never been enabled by default, never worked correctly
on x86-64, and caused ABI problems that caused C extension
compatibility. See bpo-29137 for details/discussion.
Starting with AIX6.1 there is support in libc.a for uuid (RFC4122)
This patch provides the changes needed for this integration with the OS.
On AIX the base function is uuid_create() rather than uuid_generate_time()
The AIX uuid_t typedef is more aligned to the UUID field based definition
while the Linux typedef that is more aligned with UUID bytes
(or perhaps UUID bytes_le) definitions.
Modify the code to use ncurses is_pad() instead of checking WINDOW
_flags field. If your platform does not provide the is_pad(), the
existing way that checks the field will be enabled.
Note: This change does not drop support for platforms where do not
have both WINDOW _flags field and is_pad().
See PEP 539 for details.
Highlights of changes:
- Add Thread Specific Storage (TSS) API
- Document the Thread Local Storage (TLS) API as deprecated
- Update code that used TLS API to use TSS API
Python requires C implementations provide memmove, so we shouldn't need to check for it. The only place using this configure check was expat, where we can simply always define HAVE_MEMMOVE.
Allow configure --with-lto to apply to all builds, not just profile-opt builds.
Whether this is actually useful or not must be determined by the person
building CPython using their own toolchain.
My own quick test on x86_64 Debian 9 (gcc 6.3, binutils 2.28) seemed
to suggest that it wasn't, but I expect better toolchains can or will exist
at some point. The point is to allow it at all.

`PYTHONFRAMEWORK` is defined in `Makefile` and it shoulnd't be used
in `pyconfig.h`.
`sysconfig.py --generate-posix-vars` reads config vars from Makefile
and `pyconfig.h`. Conflicting variables should be avoided.
Especially, string config variables in Makefile are unquoted, but
in `pyconfig.h` are keep quoted. So it should be private (starts with
underscore).

Don't rebuild generated files based on file modification time
anymore, the action is now explicit. Replace "make touch"
with "make regen-all".
Changes:
* Remove "make touch", Tools/hg/hgtouch.py and .hgtouch
* Add a new "make regen-all" command to rebuild all generated files
* Add subcommands to only generate specific files:
- regen-ast: Include/Python-ast.h and Python/Python-ast.c
- regen-grammar: Include/graminit.h and Python/graminit.c
- regen-importlib: Python/importlib_external.h and Python/importlib.h
- regen-opcode: Include/opcode.h
- regen-opcode-targets: Python/opcode_targets.h
- regen-typeslots: Objects/typeslots.inc
* Rename PYTHON_FOR_GEN to PYTHON_FOR_REGEN
* pgen is now only built by by "make regen-grammar"
* Add $(srcdir)/ prefix to paths to source files to handle correctly

LLVM bug report:
https://bugs.llvm.org//show_bug.cgi?id=31928
The presence of the ``--enable-optimizations`` flag is indicated by the

* Fix `make tags` warnings
`make tags` target tries to find C sources and headers in "Grammar" and

This commit changes $SRCDIRS variable in configure.ac to remote these
directories. This variable is used only for tags generation.
Also, "configure" was regenerated with `autoreconf`.
* Fix `make tags` fail on non-default tag names
When ctags overrides default tags filename (e.g. `-f .tags`) `make tags`
is failed because it assumes to see default `tags` filename:

This is a first step on the long road toward resupporting Cygwin, which does
not provide siginfo_t.si_band.
Tested on macOS 10.11 dtrace, Ubuntu 16.04 SystemTap, and libbcc.
Largely based by an initial patch by Jesús Cea Avión, with some
influence from Dave Malcolm's SystemTap patch and Nikhil Benesch's
unification patch.
Things deliberately left out for simplicity:
- ustack helpers, I have no way of testing them at this point since
they are Solaris-specific
- PyFrameObject * in function__entry/function__return, this is
SystemTap-specific
- SPARC support
- dynamic tracing
- sys module dtrace facility introspection
All of those might be added later.
