LoadLibrary, GetProcAddress, FreeLibrary and GetModuleHandle acquire the system loader lock. Calling these while holding the GIL will cause a deadlock on the rare occasion that another thread is detaching and needs to destroy its thread state at the same time.
* The PyByteArray_Init() and PyByteArray_Fini() functions have been
removed. They did nothing since Python 2.7.4 and Python 3.2.0, were
excluded from the limited API (stable ABI), and were not
documented.
* Move "_PyXXX_Init()" and "_PyXXX_Fini()" declarations from
Include/cpython/pylifecycle.h to
Include/internal/pycore_pylifecycle.h. Replace
"PyAPI_FUNC(TYPE)" with "extern TYPE".
* _PyExc_Init() now returns an error on failure rather than calling
Py_FatalError(). Move macros inside _PyExc_Init() and undefine them
when done. Rewrite macros to make them look more like statement:
add ";" when using them, add "do { ... } while (0)".
* _PyUnicode_Init() now returns a _PyInitError error rather than call
Py_FatalError().
* Move stdin check from _PySys_BeginInit() to init_sys_streams().
* _Py_ReadyTypes() now returns a _PyInitError error rather than
calling Py_FatalError().
In _localemodule.c and selectmodule.c, remove dead code that would
cause double decrefs if run.
In addition, replace PyList_SetItem() with PyList_SET_ITEM() in cases
where a new list is populated and there is no possibility of an error.
In addition, check if the list changed size in the loop in array_array_fromlist().
Fix invalid function cast warnings with gcc 8
for method conventions different from METH_NOARGS, METH_O and
METH_VARARGS excluding Argument Clinic generated code.
* The _PySys_EndInit() function now copies the
config->module_search_path list, so config is longer modified when
sys.path is updated.
* config->warnoptions list and config->xoptions dict are also copied
* test_embed: InitConfigTests now also tests
main_config['module_search_path']
* Fix _Py_InitializeMainInterpreter(): don't use config->warnoptions
but sys.warnoptions to decide if the warnings module should
be imported at startup.
* And pycore_lifecycle.h and pycore_pathconfig.h headers to
Include/internal/
* Move Py_BUILD_CORE specific code from coreconfig.h and
pylifecycle.h to pycore_pathconfig.h and pycore_lifecycle.h
* Move _Py_wstrlist_XXX() definitions and _PyPathConfig code
from pycore_state.h to pycore_pathconfig.h
* Move "Init" and "Fini" function definitions from pylifecycle.c to
pycore_lifecycle.h.
If Py_BUILD_CORE is defined, the PyThreadState_GET() macro access
_PyRuntime which comes from the internal pycore_state.h header.
Public headers must not require internal headers.
Move PyThreadState_GET() and _PyInterpreterState_GET_UNSAFE() from
Include/pystate.h to Include/internal/pycore_state.h, and rename
PyThreadState_GET() to _PyThreadState_GET() there.
The PyThreadState_GET() macro of pystate.h is now redefined when
pycore_state.h is included, to use the fast _PyThreadState_GET().
Changes:
* Add _PyThreadState_GET() macro
* Replace "PyThreadState_GET()->interp" with
_PyInterpreterState_GET_UNSAFE()
* Replace PyThreadState_GET() with _PyThreadState_GET() in internal C
files (compiled with Py_BUILD_CORE defined), but keep
PyThreadState_GET() in the public header files.
* _testcapimodule.c: replace PyThreadState_GET() with
PyThreadState_Get(); the module is not compiled with Py_BUILD_CORE
defined.
* pycore_state.h now requires Py_BUILD_CORE to be defined.
Make _PySys_AddXOptionWithError() and _PySys_AddWarnOptionWithError()
functions private again. They are no longer needed to initialize Python:
_PySys_EndInit() is now responsible to add these options instead.
Moreover, PySys_AddWarnOptionUnicode() now clears the exception on
failure if possible.
Configuring python with ./configure --with-pydebug CFLAGS="-D COUNT_ALLOCS -O0"
makes "make smelly" fail as some symbols were being exported without the "Py_" or
"_Py" prefixes.
Use the core configuration of the interpreter, rather
than using global configuration variables. For example, replace
Py_QuietFlag with core_config->quiet.
_PyCoreConfig_Read() is now responsible to choose the filesystem
encoding and error handler. Using Py_Main(), the encoding is now
chosen even before calling Py_Initialize().
_PyCoreConfig.filesystem_encoding is now the reference, instead of
Py_FileSystemDefaultEncoding, for the Python filesystem encoding.
Changes:
* Add filesystem_encoding and filesystem_errors to _PyCoreConfig
* _PyCoreConfig_Read() now reads the locale encoding for the file
system encoding.
* PyUnicode_EncodeFSDefault() and PyUnicode_DecodeFSDefaultAndSize()
now use the interpreter configuration rather than
Py_FileSystemDefaultEncoding and Py_FileSystemDefaultEncodeErrors
global configuration variables.
* Add _Py_SetFileSystemEncoding() and _Py_ClearFileSystemEncoding()
private functions to only modify Py_FileSystemDefaultEncoding and
Py_FileSystemDefaultEncodeErrors in coreconfig.c.
* _Py_CoerceLegacyLocale() now takes an int rather than
_PyCoreConfig for the warning.
In some development setups it is inconvenient or impossible to write bytecode
caches to the code tree, but the bytecode caches are still useful. The
PYTHONPYCACHEPREFIX environment variable allows specifying an alternate
location for cached bytecode files, within which a directory tree mirroring the code
tree will be created. This cache tree is then used (for both reading and writing)
instead of the local `__pycache__` subdirectory within each source directory.
Exposed at runtime as sys.pycache_prefix (defaulting to None), and can
be set from the CLI as "-X pycache_prefix=path".
Patch by Carl Meyer.
METH_NOARGS functions need only a single argument but they are cast
into a PyCFunction, which takes two arguments. This triggers an
invalid function cast warning in gcc8 due to the argument mismatch.
Fix this by adding a dummy unused argument.
- new test case for pre-initialization of sys.warnoptions and sys._xoptions
- restored ability to call these APIs prior to Py_Initialize
- updated the docs for the affected APIs to make it clear they can be
called before Py_Initialize
- also enhanced the existing embedding test cases
to check for expected settings in the sys module
* Add coro.cr_origin and sys.set_coroutine_origin_tracking_depth
* Use coroutine origin information in the unawaited coroutine warning
* Stop using set_coroutine_wrapper in asyncio debug mode
* In BaseEventLoop.set_debug, enable debugging in the correct thread
Changes:
* Split _PySys_SetArgvWithError() into subfunctions for Py_Main():
* Create the Python list object
* Set sys.argv to the list
* Compute argv0
* Prepend argv0 to sys.path
* Add _PyPathConfig_ComputeArgv0()
* Remove _PySys_SetArgvWithError()
* Py_Main() now splits the code to compute sys.argv/path0 and the
code to update the sys module: add pymain_compute_argv()
subfunction.
bpo-29240, bpo-32030:
* Rename pymain_set_argv() to pymain_set_sys_argv()
* pymain_set_sys_argv() now creates of copy of argv and modify the
copy, rather than modifying pymain->argv
* Call pymain_set_sys_argv() earlier: before pymain_run_python(), but
after pymain_get_importer().
* Add _PySys_SetArgvWithError() to handle errors
* Add -X utf8 command line option, PYTHONUTF8 environment variable
and a new sys.flags.utf8_mode flag.
* If the LC_CTYPE locale is "C" at startup: enable automatically the
UTF-8 mode.
* Add _winapi.GetACP(). encodings._alias_mbcs() now calls
_winapi.GetACP() to get the ANSI code page
* locale.getpreferredencoding() now returns 'UTF-8' in the UTF-8
mode. As a side effect, open() now uses the UTF-8 encoding by
default in this mode.
* Py_DecodeLocale() and Py_EncodeLocale() now use the UTF-8 encoding
in the UTF-8 Mode.
* Update subprocess._args_from_interpreter_flags() to handle -X utf8
* Skip some tests relying on the current locale if the UTF-8 mode is
enabled.
* Add test_utf8mode.py.
* _Py_DecodeUTF8_surrogateescape() gets a new optional parameter to
return also the length (number of wide characters).
* pymain_get_global_config() and pymain_set_global_config() now
always copy flag values, rather than only copying if the new value
is greater than the old value.
* Py_Main() now starts by reading Py_xxx configuration variables to
only work on its own private structure, and then later writes back
the configuration into these variables.
* Replace Py_GETENV() with pymain_get_env_var() which ignores empty
variables.
* Add _PyCoreConfig.dump_refs
* Add _PyCoreConfig.malloc_stats
* _PyObject_DebugMallocStats() is now responsible to check if debug
hooks are installed. The function returns 1 if stats were written,
or 0 if the hooks are disabled. Mark _PyMem_PymallocEnabled() as
static.
* bpo-32101: Add sys.flags.dev_mode flag
Rename also the "Developer mode" to the "Development mode".
* bpo-32101: Add PYTHONDEVMODE environment variable
Mention it in the development chapiter.
* Don't use "Python runtime" anymore to parse command line options or
to get environment variables: pymain_init() is now a strict
separation.
* Use an error message rather than "crashing" directly with
Py_FatalError(). Limit the number of calls to Py_FatalError(). It
prepares the code to handle errors more nicely later.
* Warnings options (-W, PYTHONWARNINGS) and "XOptions" (-X) are now
only added to the sys module once Python core is properly
initialized.
* _PyMain is now the well identified owner of some important strings
like: warnings options, XOptions, and the "program name". The
program name string is now properly freed at exit.
pymain_free() is now responsible to free the "command" string.
* Rename most methods in Modules/main.c to use a "pymain_" prefix to
avoid conflits and ease debug.
* Replace _Py_CommandLineDetails_INIT with memset(0)
* Reorder a lot of code to fix the initialization ordering. For
example, initializing standard streams now comes before parsing
PYTHONWARNINGS.
* Py_Main() now handles errors when adding warnings options and
XOptions.
* Add _PyMem_GetDefaultRawAllocator() private function.
* Cleanup _PyMem_Initialize(): remove useless global constants: move
them into _PyMem_Initialize().
* Call _PyRuntime_Initialize() as soon as possible:
_PyRuntime_Initialize() now returns an error message on failure.
* Add _PyInitError structure and following macros:
* _Py_INIT_OK()
* _Py_INIT_ERR(msg)
* _Py_INIT_USER_ERR(msg): "user" error, don't abort() in that case
* _Py_INIT_FAILED(err)
The concrete PyDict_* API is used to interact with PyInterpreterState.modules in a number of places. This isn't compatible with all dict subclasses, nor with other Mapping implementations. This patch switches the concrete API usage to the corresponding abstract API calls.
We also add a PyImport_GetModule() function (and some other helpers) to reduce a bunch of code duplication.
A bunch of code currently uses PyInterpreterState.modules directly instead of PyImport_GetModuleDict(). This complicates efforts to make changes relative to sys.modules. This patch switches to using PyImport_GetModuleDict() uniformly. Also, a number of related uses of sys.modules are updated for uniformity for the same reason.
Note that this code was already reviewed and merged as part of #1638. I reverted that and am now splitting it up into more focused parts.
PR #1638, for bpo-28411, causes problems in some (very) edge cases. Until that gets sorted out, we're reverting the merge. PR #3506, a fix on top of #1638, is also getting reverted.
* Drop warnoptions from PyInterpreterState.
* Drop xoptions from PyInterpreterState.
* Don't set warnoptions and _xoptions again.
* Decref after adding to sys.__dict__.
* Drop an unused macro.
* Check sys.xoptions *before* we delete it.
* group the (stateful) runtime globals into various topical structs
* consolidate the topical structs under a single top-level _PyRuntimeState struct
* add a check-c-globals.py script that helps identify runtime globals
Other globals are excluded (see globals.txt and check-c-globals.py).
f_trace_lines: enable/disable line trace events
f_trace_opcodes: enable/disable opcode trace events
These are intended primarily for testing of the interpreter
itself, as they make it much easier to emulate signals
arriving at unfortunate times.
