* bpo-16500: Allow registering at-fork handlers
* Address Serhiy's comments
* Add doc for new C API
* Add doc for new Python-facing function
* Add NEWS entry + doc nit
PEP 432 specifies a number of large changes to interpreter startup code, including exposing a cleaner C-API. The major changes depend on a number of smaller changes. This patch includes all those smaller changes.
* bpo-6532: Make the thread id an unsigned integer.
From C API side the type of results of PyThread_start_new_thread() and
PyThread_get_thread_ident(), the id parameter of
PyThreadState_SetAsyncExc(), and the thread_id field of PyThreadState
changed from "long" to "unsigned long".
* Restore a check in thread_get_ident().
Issue #26563:
* Add _PyGILState_GetInterpreterStateUnsafe() function: the single
PyInterpreterState used by this process' GILState implementation.
* Enhance _Py_DumpTracebackThreads() to retrieve the interpreter state from
autoInterpreterState in last resort. The function now accepts NULL for interp
and current_tstate parameters.
* test_faulthandler: fix a ResourceWarning when test is interrupted by CTRL+c
Issue #10915, #15751, #26558:
* PyGILState_Check() now returns 1 (success) before the creation of the GIL and
after the destruction of the GIL. It allows to use the function early in
Python initialization and late in Python finalization.
* Add a flag to disable PyGILState_Check(). Disable PyGILState_Check() when
Py_NewInterpreter() is called
* Add assert(PyGILState_Check()) to: _Py_dup(), _Py_fstat(), _Py_read()
and _Py_write()
Issue #26154: Add a new private _PyThreadState_UncheckedGet() function which
gets the current thread state, but don't call Py_FatalError() if it is NULL.
Python 3.5.1 removed the _PyThreadState_Current symbol from the Python C API to
no more expose complex and private atomic types. Atomic types depends on the
compiler or can even depend on compiler options. The new function
_PyThreadState_UncheckedGet() allows to get the variable value without having
to care of the exact implementation of atomic types.
Changes:
* Replace direct usage of the _PyThreadState_Current variable with a call to
_PyThreadState_UncheckedGet().
* In pystate.c, replace direct usage of the _PyThreadState_Current variable
with the PyThreadState_GET() macro for readability.
* Document also PyThreadState_Get() in pystate.h
Python.h header to fix a compilation error with OpenMP. PyThreadState_GET()
becomes an alias to PyThreadState_Get() to avoid ABI incompatibilies.
It is important that the _PyThreadState_Current variable is always accessed
with the same implementation of pyatomic.h. Use the PyThreadState_Get()
function so extension modules will all reuse the same implementation.
Disable completly pyatomic.h on C++, because <stdatomic.h> is not compatible with C++.
<pyatomic.h> is only needed by the optimized PyThreadState_GET() macro in
pystate.h. Instead, declare PyThreadState_GET() as an alias to
PyThreadState_Get(), as done for limited API.
Note that this is a potentially disruptive change since it may
release some system resources which would otherwise remain
perpetually alive (e.g. database connections kept in thread-local
storage).
sporadic crashes in multi-thread programs when several long deallocator
chains ran concurrently and involved subclasses of built-in container
types.
Because of this change, a couple extension modules compiled for 3.2.4
(those which use the trashcan mechanism, despite it being undocumented)
will not be loadable by 3.2.3 and earlier. However, extension modules
compiled for 3.2.3 and earlier will be loadable by 3.2.4.
importlib._bootstrap is now frozen into Python/importlib.h and stored
as _frozen_importlib in sys.modules. Py_Initialize() loads the frozen
code along with sys and imp and then uses _frozen_importlib._install()
to set builtins.__import__() w/ _frozen_importlib.__import__().

Add fscodec_initialized attribute to the PyInterpreterState structure.

http://code.google.com/p/data-race-test/wiki/ThreadSanitizer is a dynamic data
race detector that runs on top of valgrind. With this patch, the binaries at
http://code.google.com/p/data-race-test/wiki/ThreadSanitizer#Binaries pass many
but not all of the Python tests. All of regrtest still passes outside of tsan.
I've implemented part of the C1x atomic types so that we can explicitly mark
variables that are used across threads, and get defined behavior as compilers
advance.
I've added tsan's client header and implementation to the codebase in
dynamic_annotations.{h,c} (docs at
http://code.google.com/p/data-race-test/wiki/DynamicAnnotations).
Unfortunately, I haven't been able to get helgrind and drd to give sensible
error messages, even when I use their client annotations, so I'm not supporting
them.
The patch fixes several issues with Py_NewInterpreter as well as the demo for multiple subinterpreters.
Most of the patch was written by MvL with help from Benjamin, Amaury and me. Graham Dumpleton has verified that this patch fixes an issue with mod_wsgi.
This affects the parser, various object implementations,
and all places that put identifiers into C string literals.
In testing, a number of crashes occurred as code would
fail when the recursion limit was reached (such as the
Unicode interning dictionary having key/value pairs where
key is not value). To solve these, I added an overflowed
flag, which allows for 50 more recursions after the
limit was reached and the exception was raised, and
a recursion_critical flag, which indicates that recursion
absolutely must be allowed, i.e. that a certain call
must not cause a stack overflow exception.
There are still some places where both str and str8 are
accepted as identifiers; these should eventually be
removed.
