gcc -Wcast-qual turns up a number of instances of casting away constness of pointers. Some of these can be safely modified, by either:
Adding the const to the type cast, as in:
- return _PyUnicode_FromUCS1((unsigned char*)s, size);
+ return _PyUnicode_FromUCS1((const unsigned char*)s, size);
or, Removing the cast entirely, because it's not necessary (but probably was at one time), as in:
- PyDTrace_FUNCTION_ENTRY((char *)filename, (char *)funcname, lineno);
+ PyDTrace_FUNCTION_ENTRY(filename, funcname, lineno);
These changes will not change code, but they will make it much easier to check for errors in consts

* bpo-36389: _PyObject_CheckConsistency() available in release mode (GH-16612)
bpo-36389, bpo-38376: The _PyObject_CheckConsistency() function is
now also available in release mode. For example, it can be used to
debug a crash in the visit_decref() function of the GC.
Modify the following functions to also work in release mode:
* _PyDict_CheckConsistency()
* _PyObject_CheckConsistency()
* _PyType_CheckConsistency()
* _PyUnicode_CheckConsistency()
Other changes:
* _PyMem_IsPtrFreed(ptr) now also returns 1 if ptr is NULL
(equals to 0).
* _PyBytesWriter_CheckConsistency() now returns 1 and is only used
with assert().
* Reorder _PyObject_Dump() to write safe fields first, and only
attempt to render repr() at the end.
(cherry picked from commit 6876257eaa)
* bpo-36389: Fix _PyBytesWriter in release mode (GH-16624)
Fix _PyBytesWriter API when Python is built in release mode with
assertions.
(cherry picked from commit 60ec6efd96)
* bpo-38070: Enhance visit_decref() debug trace (GH-16631)
subtract_refs() now pass the parent object to visit_decref() which
pass it to _PyObject_ASSERT(). So if the "is freed" assertion fails,
the parent is used in debug trace, rather than the freed object. The
parent object is more likely to contain useful information. Freed
objects cannot be inspected are are displayed as "<object at xxx is
freed>" with no other detail.
(cherry picked from commit 4d5f94b8cd)
* Fix also a typo in PYMEM_DEADBYTE macro comment
* bpo-36389: Add newline to _PyObject_AssertFailed() (GH-16629)
Add a newline between the verbose object dump and the Py_FatalError()
logs for readability.
(cherry picked from commit 7775349895)
Python now dumps path configuration if it fails to import the Python
codecs of the filesystem and stdio encodings.
(cherry picked from commit fcdb027234)
In ArgumentClinic, value "NULL" should now be used only for unrepresentable default values
(like in the optional third parameter of getattr). "None" should be used if None is accepted
as argument and passing None has the same effect as not passing the argument at all.

* The UTF-8 incremental decoders fails now fast if encounter
a sequence that can't be handled by the error handler.
* The UTF-16 incremental decoders with the surrogatepass error
handler decodes now a lone low surrogate with final=False.

The final addition (cur += step) may overflow, so use size_t for "cur".
"cur" is always positive (even for negative steps), so it is safe to use
size_t here.

_PyCoreConfig: Change filesystem_encoding, filesystem_errors,
stdio_encoding and stdio_errors fields type from char* to wchar_t*.
Changes:
* PyInterpreterState: replace fscodec_initialized (int) with fs_codec
structure.
* Add get_error_handler_wide() and unicode_encode_utf8() helper
functions.
* Add error_handler parameter to unicode_encode_locale()
and unicode_decode_locale().
* Remove _PyCoreConfig_SetString().
* Rename _PyCoreConfig_SetWideString() to _PyCoreConfig_SetString().
* Rename _PyCoreConfig_SetWideStringFromString()
to _PyCoreConfig_DecodeLocale().
Add _Py_FORCE_UTF8_LOCALE and _Py_FORCE_UTF8_FS_ENCODING macros to
avoid factorize "#if defined(__ANDROID__) || defined(__VXWORKS__)"
and "#if defined(__APPLE__)".
Cleanup also config_init_fs_encoding().
Add a new _PyObject_CheckConsistency() function which can be used to
help debugging. The function is available in release mode.
Add a 'check_content' parameter to _PyDict_CheckConsistency().
When Python is compiled with Valgrind support, release Unicode
interned strings at exit in _PyUnicode_Fini().
* Rename _Py_ReleaseInternedUnicodeStrings() to
unicode_release_interned() and make it private.
* unicode_release_interned() is now called from _PyUnicode_Fini():
it must be called with a running Python thread state for TRASHCAN,
it cannot be called from pymain_free().
* Don't display statistics on interned strings at exit anymore
Python initialization now fails if decoding pybuilddir.txt
configuration file fails at startup.
_PyPathConfig_Calculate() now reports memory allocation failure and
decoding error on decoding pybuilddir.txt content from
UTF-8/surrogateescape.
* Split _Py_InitializeCore_impl() into subfunctions: add multiple pycore_init_xxx() functions
* Preliminary sys.stderr is now set earlier to get an usable
sys.stderr ealier.
* Move code into _Py_Initialize_ReconfigureCore() to be able to call
it from _Py_InitializeCore().
* Split _PyExc_Init(): create a new _PyBuiltins_AddExceptions()
function.
* Call _PyExc_Init() earlier in _Py_InitializeCore_impl()
and new_interpreter() to get working exceptions earlier.
* _Py_ReadyTypes() now returns _PyInitError rather than calling
Py_FatalError().
* Misc code cleanup
* 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().
Format characters "%s" and "%V" in PyUnicode_FromFormat() and "%s" in PyBytes_FromFormat()
no longer read memory past the limit if precision is specified.
Fix an assertion error in format() in debug build for floating point
formatting with "n" format, zero padding and small width. Release build is
not impacted. Patch by Karthikeyan Singaravelan.
Fix memory leak in PyUnicode_EncodeLocale() and
PyUnicode_EncodeFSDefault() on error handling.
Changes:
* Fix unicode_encode_locale() error handling
* Fix test_codecs.LocaleCodecTest
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.
Fix str.format(), float.__format__() and complex.__format__() methods
for non-ASCII decimal point when using the "n" formatter.
Changes:
* Rewrite _PyUnicode_InsertThousandsGrouping(): it now requires
a _PyUnicodeWriter object for the buffer and a Python str object
for digits.
* Rename FILL() macro to unicode_fill(), convert it to static inline function,
add "assert(0 <= start);" and rework its code.
Discovered using clang's MemorySanitizer when it ran python3's
test_fstring test_misformed_unicode_character_name.
An msan build will fail by simply executing: ./python -c 'u"\N"'
Use _PyObject_ASSERT() in:
* _PyDict_CheckConsistency()
* _PyType_CheckConsistency()
* _PyUnicode_CheckConsistency()
_PyObject_ASSERT() dumps the faulty object if the assertion fails
to help debugging.
* Add %T format to PyUnicode_FromFormatV(), and so to
PyUnicode_FromFormat() and PyErr_Format(), to format an object type
name: equivalent to "%s" with Py_TYPE(obj)->tp_name.
* Replace Py_TYPE(obj)->tp_name with %T format in unicodeobject.c.
* Add unit test on %T format.
* Rename unicode_fromformat_write_cstr() to
unicode_fromformat_write_utf8(), to make the intent more explicit.
Add support for the "surrogatepass" error handler in
PyUnicode_DecodeFSDefault() and PyUnicode_EncodeFSDefault()
for the UTF-8 encoding.
Changes:
* _Py_DecodeUTF8Ex() and _Py_EncodeUTF8Ex() now support the
surrogatepass error handler (_Py_ERROR_SURROGATEPASS).
* _Py_DecodeLocaleEx() and _Py_EncodeLocaleEx() now use
the _Py_error_handler enum instead of "int surrogateescape" to pass
the error handler. These functions now return -3 if the error
handler is unknown.
* Add unit tests on _Py_DecodeLocaleEx() and _Py_EncodeLocaleEx()
in test_codecs.
* Rename get_error_handler() to _Py_GetErrorHandler() and expose it
as a private function.
* _freeze_importlib doesn't need config.filesystem_errors="strict"
workaround anymore.
_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.
