* BUILD_TUPLE_UNPACK and BUILD_MAP_UNPACK_WITH_CALL no longer generated with
single tuple or dict.
* Restored more informative error messages for incorrect var-positional and
var-keyword arguments.
* Removed code duplications in _PyEval_EvalCodeWithName().
* Removed redundant runtime checks and parameters in _PyStack_AsDict().
* Added a workaround and enabled previously disabled test in test_traceback.
* Removed dead code from the dis module.
The __class__ cell used by zero-argument super() is now initialized
from type.__new__ rather than __build_class__, so class methods
relying on that will now work correctly when called from metaclass
methods during class creation.

Issue #27810: Add a new calling convention for C functions:
PyObject* func(PyObject *self, PyObject **args,
Py_ssize_t nargs, PyObject *kwnames);
Where args is a C array of positional arguments followed by values of keyword
arguments. nargs is the number of positional arguments, kwnames are keys of
keyword arguments. kwnames can be NULL.
Issue #28040: Fix _PyDict_DelItem_KnownHash() and _PyDict_Pop(): convert
splitted table to combined table to be able to delete the item.
Write an unit test for the issue.
Patch by INADA Naoki.
Issue #27830: Add _PyObject_FastCallKeywords(): avoid the creation of a
temporary dictionary for keyword arguments.
Other changes:
* Cleanup call_function() and fast_function() (ex: rename nk to nkwargs)
* Remove now useless do_call(), replaced with _PyObject_FastCallKeywords()
_PyGen_Finalize() checks that gen->gi_code is not NULL before it
accesses the flags of the code object. This means that the flag
could be NULL.
It passes down the generatore to gen_close() and gen_send_ex().
gen_send_ex() did not check for gen->gi_code != NULL.

Issue #26058: Add a new private version to the builtin dict type, incremented
at each dictionary creation and at each dictionary change.
Implementation of the PEP 509.
Issue #27350: `dict` implementation is changed like PyPy. It is more compact
and preserves insertion order.
_PyDict_Dummy() function has been removed.
Disable test_gdb: python-gdb.py is not updated yet to the new structure of
compact dictionaries (issue #28023).
Patch written by INADA Naoki.
Don't pass "()" format to PyObject_CallXXX() to call a function without
argument: pass NULL as the format string instead. It avoids to have to parse a
string to produce 0 argument.
Other changes:
* Rewrite _Py_normalize_encoding() as a C implementation of
encodings.normalize_encoding(). For example, " utf-8 " is now normalized to
"utf_8". So the fast path is now used for more name variants of the same
encoding.
* Avoid strcpy() when encoding is NULL: call directly the UTF-8 codec
Issue #27841: Add _PyObject_Call_Prepend() helper function to prepend an
argument to existing arguments to call a function. This helper uses fast calls.
Modify method_call() and slot_tp_new() to use _PyObject_Call_Prepend().
Issue #27830: Similar to _PyObject_FastCallDict(), but keyword arguments are
also passed in the same C array than positional arguments, rather than being
passed as a Python dict.
Issue #27809:
* PyObject_CallMethodObjArgs(), _PyObject_CallMethodIdObjArgs() and
PyObject_CallFunctionObjArgs() now use fast call to avoid the creation of a
temporary tuple
* Rename objargs_mktuple() to objargs_mkstack()
* objargs_mkstack() now stores objects in a C array using borrowed references,
instead of storing arguments into a tuple
objargs_mkstack() uses a small buffer allocated on the C stack for 5 arguments
or less, or allocates a buffer in the heap memory.
Note: this change is different than the change 0e4f26083bbb, I fixed the test
to decide if the small stack can be used or not. sizeof(PyObject**) was also
replaced with sizeof(stack[0]) since the sizeof() was wrong (but gave the same
result).
Issue #27809:
* PyObject_CallMethodObjArgs(), _PyObject_CallMethodIdObjArgs() and
PyObject_CallFunctionObjArgs() now use fast call to avoid the creation of a
temporary tuple
* Rename objargs_mktuple() to objargs_mkstack()
* objargs_mkstack() now stores objects in a C array using borrowed references,
instead of storing arguments into a tuple
objargs_mkstack() uses a small buffer allocated on the C stack for 5 arguments
or less, or allocates a buffer in the heap memory.
Multi-phase extension module import now correctly allows the
``m_methods`` field to be used to add module level functions
to instances of non-module types returned from ``Py_create_mod``.
Patch by Xiang Zhang.
Issue #27128: calliter_iternext() now calls _PyObject_FastCall() to avoid a
temporary empty tuple.
Cleanup also the code to reduce the indentation level.
* Invert condition of test to avoid levels of indentation
* Remove useless Py_XDECREF(args) in the error block
* Replace Py_XDECREF(func) with Py_DECREF(func) in the error block: func cannot
be NULL when reaching the error block
Issue #27128. The call_method() and call_maybe() functions of typeobject.c now
use fast call for empty format string to avoid the creation of a temporary
empty tuple.
Issue #27128, PyObject_CallFunction(), _PyObject_FastCall() and callmethod():
if the format string of parameters is empty, avoid the creation of an empty
tuple: call _PyObject_FastCall() without parameters.
Make call_function_tail() less weird: don't decrement args reference counter,
the caller is now responsible to do that. The caller now also checks if args is
NULL.
Issue #27128.
Issue #27128: Modify call_function_tail() to use _PyObject_FastCall() when args
is not a tuple to avoid the creation of a temporary tuple.
call_function_tail() is used by:
* PyObject_CallFunction()
* PyObject_CallMethod()
* _PyObject_CallMethodId()
Issue #27128: Add _PyObject_FastCall(), a new calling convention avoiding a
temporary tuple to pass positional parameters in most cases, but create a
temporary tuple if needed (ex: for the tp_call slot).
The API is prepared to support keyword parameters, but the full implementation
will come later (_PyFunction_FastCall() doesn't support keyword parameters
yet).
Add also:
* _PyStack_AsTuple() helper function: convert a "stack" of parameters to
a tuple.
* _PyCFunction_FastCall(): fast call implementation for C functions
* _PyFunction_FastCall(): fast call implementation for Python functions
- Issue #25958: Support "anti-registration" of special methods from
various ABCs, like __hash__, __iter__ or __len__. All these (and
several more) can be set to None in an implementation class and the
behavior will be as if the method is not defined at all.
(Previously, this mechanism existed only for __hash__, to make
mutable classes unhashable.) Code contributed by Andrew Barnert and
Ivan Levkivskyi.
