The limited C API is now supported if Python is built in debug mode
(if the Py_DEBUG macro is defined). In the limited C API, the
Py_INCREF() and Py_DECREF() functions are now implemented as opaque
function calls, rather than accessing directly the PyObject.ob_refcnt
member, if Python is built in debug mode and the Py_LIMITED_API macro
targets Python 3.10 or newer. It became possible to support the
limited C API in debug mode because the PyObject structure is the
same in release and debug mode since Python 3.8 (see bpo-36465).
The limited C API is still not supported in the --with-trace-refs
special build (Py_TRACE_REFS macro).
* Remove m68k-specific hack from ascii_decode
On m68k, alignments of primitives is more relaxed, with 4-byte and
8-byte types only requiring 2-byte alignment, thus using sizeof(size_t)
does not work. Instead, use the portable alternative.
Note that this is a minimal fix that only relaxes the assertion and the
condition for when to use the optimised version remains overly strict.
Such issues will be fixed tree-wide in the next commit.
NB: In C11 we could use _Alignof(size_t) instead, but for compatibility
we use autoconf.
* Optimise string routines for architectures with non-natural alignment
C only requires that sizeof(x) is a multiple of alignof(x), not that the
two are equal. Thus anywhere where we optimise based on alignment we
should be using alignof(x) not sizeof(x).
This is more annoying than it would be in C11 where we could just use
_Alignof(x) (and alignof(x) in C++11), but since we still require only
C99 we must plumb the information all the way from autoconf through the
various typedefs and defines.
See [PEP 597](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0597/).
* Add `-X warn_default_encoding` and `PYTHONWARNDEFAULTENCODING`.
* Add EncodingWarning
* Add io.text_encoding()
* open(), TextIOWrapper() emits EncodingWarning when encoding is omitted and warn_default_encoding is enabled.
* _pyio.TextIOWrapper() uses UTF-8 as fallback default encoding used when failed to import locale module. (used during building Python)
* bz2, configparser, gzip, lzma, pathlib, tempfile modules use io.text_encoding().
* What's new entry
Rename Include/symtable.h to to Include/internal/pycore_symtable.h,
don't export symbols anymore (replace PyAPI_FUNC and PyAPI_DATA with
extern) and rename functions:
* PyST_GetScope() to _PyST_GetScope()
* PySymtable_BuildObject() to _PySymtable_Build()
* PySymtable_Free() to _PySymtable_Free()
Remove PySymtable_Build(), Py_SymtableString() and
Py_SymtableStringObject() functions.
The Py_SymtableString() function was part the stable ABI by mistake
but it could not be used, since the symtable.h header file was
excluded from the limited C API.
The Python symtable module remains available and is unchanged.
The distutils bdist_wininst command deprecated in Python 3.8 has been
removed. The distutils bidst_wheel command is now recommended to
distribute binary packages on Windows.
* Remove Lib/distutils/command/bdist_wininst.py
* Remove PC/bdist_wininst/ project
* Remove Lib/distutils/command/wininst-*.exe programs
* Remove all references to bdist_wininst
Export the Py_FrozenMain() function: fix a Python 3.9.0 regression.
Python 3.9 uses -fvisibility=hidden and the function was not exported
explicitly and so not exported.
Add also Py_FrozenMain to the stable ABI on Windows.
- Copy existing xxlimited to xxlimited53 (named for the limited API version it uses)
- Build both modules, both in debug and release
- Test both modules
No longer use deprecated aliases to functions:
* Replace PyObject_MALLOC() with PyObject_Malloc()
* Replace PyObject_REALLOC() with PyObject_Realloc()
* Replace PyObject_FREE() with PyObject_Free()
* Replace PyObject_Del() with PyObject_Free()
* Replace PyObject_DEL() with PyObject_Free()
No longer use deprecated aliases to functions:
* Replace PyMem_MALLOC() with PyMem_Malloc()
* Replace PyMem_REALLOC() with PyMem_Realloc()
* Replace PyMem_FREE() with PyMem_Free()
* Replace PyMem_Del() with PyMem_Free()
* Replace PyMem_DEL() with PyMem_Free()
Modify also the PyMem_DEL() macro to use directly PyMem_Free().
It was moved out of the limited API in 7d95e40721.
This change re-enables it from 3.10, to avoid generating invalid extension modules for earlier versions.
Remove the global _Py_CheckRecursionLimit variable: it has been
replaced by ceval.recursion_limit of the PyInterpreterState
structure.
There is no need to keep the variable for the stable ABI, since
Py_EnterRecursiveCall() and Py_LeaveRecursiveCall() were not usable
in Python 3.8 and older: these macros accessed PyThreadState members,
whereas the PyThreadState structure is opaque in the limited C API.
In absence of explicit declaration, resource compiler uses system
codepage. When this codepage is DBCS or UTF-8, Python's copyright
string is corrupted, because it contains copyright sign encoded
as \xA9.
The fix is to explicitly declare codepage 1252.
Replace MIDL-generated file with manual GUID definition.
Use the same .def file for release and debug builds.
Update setup build to support latest toolset
Use linker comment #pragma and preprocessor for re-exporting stable
API functions and variables.
Module definition file, custom build targets and entry point code
become unnecessary and can be removed.
This change also fixes missing _PyErr_BadInternalCall export on x86.
Remove auto-generated resource header. Pass definitions required
by resource files (ORIGINAL_FILENAME and FIELD3) directly to resource
compiler.
Remove unused MS_DLL_ID resource string and related dead code.
* Add missing header files to pythoncore.
* Add missing file filters ("Resource Files" in particular) to
all projects.
* Add new sub-filters for private headers in pythoncore and
for 3rd party source files.
* Add missing _zoneinfo configurations in pcbuild.sln.
* Update bdist_wininst with the new zlib location.
The PyObject_INIT() and PyObject_INIT_VAR() macros become aliases to,
respectively, PyObject_Init() and PyObject_InitVar() functions.
Rename _PyObject_INIT() and _PyObject_INIT_VAR() static inline
functions to, respectively, _PyObject_Init() and _PyObject_InitVar(),
and move them to pycore_object.h. Remove their return value:
their return type becomes void.
The _datetime module is now built with the Py_BUILD_CORE_MODULE macro
defined.
Remove an outdated comment on _Py_tracemalloc_config.
Modify the help in cpython/PC/launcher.c to show users that "latest" can be overridden by shebang, PY_PYTHON[n] or py.ini files. Also show that script [args] is optional by enclosing in square brackets.
Automerge-Triggered-By: @zooba
This commit removes the old parser, the deprecated parser module, the old parser compatibility flags and environment variables and all associated support code and documentation.
test_repl.test_close_stdin() now calls
support.suppress_msvcrt_asserts() to fix the test on Windows.
* Move suppress_msvcrt_asserts() from test.libregrtest.setup to
test.support. Make its verbose parameter optional: verbose=False by
default.
* Add msvcrt.GetErrorMode().
* SuppressCrashReport now uses GetErrorMode() and SetErrorMode() of
the msvcrt module, rather than using ctypes.
* Remove also an unused variable (deadline) in wait_process().
