Starting with AIX6.1 there is support in libc.a for uuid (RFC4122)
This patch provides the changes needed for this integration with the OS.
On AIX the base function is uuid_create() rather than uuid_generate_time()
The AIX uuid_t typedef is more aligned to the UUID field based definition
while the Linux typedef that is more aligned with UUID bytes
(or perhaps UUID bytes_le) definitions.
This is more complicated than it should be because we need to preserve the
useful mtime-based regeneration feature that lib2to3.pgen2.driver.load_grammar
has. We only look for the pickled grammar file with pkgutil.get_data and only if
the source file does not exist.
* _Py_InitializeCore() doesn't call _PyMem_SetupAllocators() anymore
if the PYTHONMALLOC environment variable is not set.
* pymain_cmdline() now sets the allocator to the default, instead of
setting the allocator in subfunctions.
* Py_SetStandardStreamEncoding() now calls
_PyMem_SetDefaultAllocator() to get a known allocator, to be able
to release the memory with the same allocator.
Even though Python marks any handles it opens as non-inheritable there
is still a race when using `subprocess.Popen` since creating a process
with redirected stdio requires temporarily creating inheritable handles.
By implementing support for `subprocess.Popen(close_fds=True)` we fix
this race.
In order to implement this we use PROC_THREAD_ATTRIBUTE_HANDLE_LIST
which is available since Windows Vista. Which allows to pass an explicit
list of handles to inherit when creating a process.
This commit also adds `STARTUPINFO.lpAttributeList["handle_list"]`
which can be used to control PROC_THREAD_ATTRIBUTE_HANDLE_LIST
directly.
Exactly which locale requests will end up giving
you the "C" locale is actually platform dependent.
A blank locale and "POSIX" will translate to "C"
on most Linux distros, but may not do so on other platforms, so this adjusts the way the tests are structured to better account for that.
This is an initial step towards fixing the current
test failure on Cygwin (hence the issue reference)
It no longer spends much time doing complex calculations and no
longer consumes much memory for creating large constants that will
be dropped later.
This fixes also bpo-21074.
bpo-32329, bpo-32030:
* The -R option now turns on hash randomization when the
PYTHONHASHSEED environment variable is set to 0 Previously, the
option was ignored.
* sys.flags.hash_randomization is now properly set to 0 when hash
randomization is turned off by PYTHONHASHSEED=0.
* _PyCoreConfig_ReadEnv() now reads the PYTHONHASHSEED environment
variable. _Py_HashRandomization_Init() now only apply the
configuration, it doesn't read PYTHONHASHSEED anymore.
asyncio.get_event_loop(), and, subsequently asyncio._get_running_loop()
are one of the most frequently executed functions in asyncio. They also
can't be sped up by third-party event loops like uvloop.
When implemented in C they become 4x faster.
