The new API allows to efficiently send values into native generators
and coroutines avoiding use of StopIteration exceptions to signal
returns.
ceval loop now uses this method instead of the old "private"
_PyGen_Send C API. This translates to 1.6x increased performance
of 'await' calls in micro-benchmarks.
Aside from CPython core improvements, this new API will also allow
Cython to generate more efficient code, benefiting high-performance
IO libraries like uvloop.
* Add new capability to the PEG parser to type variable assignments. For instance:
```
| a[asdl_stmt_seq*]=';'.small_stmt+ [';'] NEWLINE { a }
```
* Add new sequence types from the asdl definition (automatically generated)
* Make `asdl_seq` type a generic aliasing pointer type.
* Create a new `asdl_generic_seq` for the generic case using `void*`.
* The old `asdl_seq_GET`/`ast_seq_SET` macros now are typed.
* New `asdl_seq_GET_UNTYPED`/`ast_seq_SET_UNTYPED` macros for dealing with generic sequences.
* Changes all possible `asdl_seq` types to use specific versions everywhere.
Partially revert commit ac46eb4ad6662cf6d771b20d8963658b2186c48c:
"bpo-38113: Update the Python-ast.c generator to PEP384 (gh-15957)".
Using a module state per module instance is causing subtle practical
problems.
For example, the Mercurial project replaces the __import__() function
to implement lazy import, whereas Python expected that "import _ast"
always return a fully initialized _ast module.
Add _PyAST_Fini() to clear the state at exit.
The _ast module has no state (set _astmodule.m_size to 0). Remove
astmodule_traverse(), astmodule_clear() and astmodule_free()
functions.
* Merge gen and frame state variables into one.
* Replace stack pointer with depth in PyFrameObject. Makes code easier to read and saves a word of memory.
Add sys.orig_argv attribute: the list of the original command line
arguments passed to the Python executable.
Rename also PyConfig._orig_argv to PyConfig.orig_argv and
document it.
Always create the empty bytes string singleton.
Optimize PyBytes_FromStringAndSize(str, 0): it no longer has to check
if the empty string singleton was created or not, it is always
available.
Add functions:
* _PyBytes_Init()
* bytes_get_empty(), bytes_new_empty()
* bytes_create_empty_string_singleton()
* unicode_create_empty_string_singleton()
_Py_unicode_state: rename empty structure member to empty_string.
Py_InitializeFromConfig() now always creates the empty tuple
singleton as soon as possible.
Optimize PyTuple_New(0): it no longer has to check if the empty tuple
was created or not, it is always creatd.
* Add tuple_create_empty_tuple_singleton() function.
* Add tuple_get_empty() function.
* Remove state parameter of tuple_alloc().
Each interpreter now has its own Unicode latin1 singletons.
Remove "ifdef EXPERIMENTAL_ISOLATED_SUBINTERPRETERS"
and "ifdef LATIN1_SINGLETONS": always enable latin1 singletons.
Optimize unicode_result_ready(): only attempt to get a latin1
singleton for PyUnicode_1BYTE_KIND.
Each interpreter now has its own MemoryError free list: it is not
longer shared by all interpreters.
Add _Py_exc_state structure and PyInterpreterState.exc_state member.
Move also errnomap into _Py_exc_state.
* Revert "bpo-40521: Make the empty frozenset per interpreter (GH-21068)"
This reverts commit 261cfedf76.
* bpo-40521: Empty frozensets are no longer singletons
* Complete the removal of the frozenset singleton
Each interpreter now has its own empty bytes string and single byte
character singletons.
Replace STRINGLIB_EMPTY macro with STRINGLIB_GET_EMPTY() macro.
Each interpreter now has its own dict free list:
* Move dict free lists into PyInterpreterState.
* Move PyDict_MAXFREELIST define to pycore_interp.h
* Add _Py_dict_state structure.
* Add tstate parameter to _PyDict_ClearFreeList() and _PyDict_Fini().
* In debug mode, ensure that the dict free lists are not used after
_PyDict_Fini() is called.
* Remove "#ifdef EXPERIMENTAL_ISOLATED_SUBINTERPRETERS".
* Rename _PyObject_GC_TRACK_impl() to _PyObject_GC_TRACK()
* Rename _PyObject_GC_UNTRACK_impl() to _PyObject_GC_UNTRACK()
* Omit filename and lineno parameters if NDEBUG is defined.
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.
On Windows, #include "pyerrors.h" no longer defines "snprintf" and
"vsnprintf" macros.
PyOS_snprintf() and PyOS_vsnprintf() should be used to get portable
behavior.
Replace snprintf() calls with PyOS_snprintf() and replace vsnprintf()
calls with PyOS_vsnprintf().
In GH-2866, _Py_Bit_Length() was added to pymath.h for lack of a better
location. GH-20518 added a more appropriate header file for bit utilities. It
also shows how to properly use intrinsics. This allows reconsidering bpo-29782.
* Move the function to the new header.
* Changed return type to match __builtin_clzl() and reviewed usage.
* Use intrinsics where available.
* Pick a fallback implementation suitable for inlining.
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.
The PEP 353, written in 2005, introduced PY_FORMAT_SIZE_T. Python no
longer supports macOS 10.4 and Visual Studio 2010, but requires more
recent macOS and Visual Studio versions. In 2020 with Python 3.10, it
is now safe to use directly "%zu" to format size_t and "%zi" to
format Py_ssize_t.
Export explicitly the Py_GetArgcArgv() function to the C API and
document the function. Previously, it was exported implicitly which
no longer works since Python is built with -fvisibility=hidden.
* Add PyConfig._orig_argv member.
* Py_InitializeFromConfig() no longer calls _PyConfig_Write() twice.
* PyConfig_Read() no longer initializes Py_GetArgcArgv(): it is now
_PyConfig_Write() responsibility.
* _PyConfig_Write() result type becomes PyStatus instead of void.
* Write an unit test on Py_GetArgcArgv().
