regrtest now always detects uncollectable objects. Previously, the
check was only enabled by --findleaks. The check now also works with
-jN/--multiprocess N.
--findleaks becomes a deprecated alias to --fail-env-changed.
Rewrite run_tests_multiprocess() function as a new MultiprocessRunner
class with multiple methods to better report errors and stop
immediately when needed.
Changes:
* Worker processes are now killed immediately if tests are
interrupted or if a test does crash (CHILD_ERROR): worker
processes are killed.
* Rewrite how errors in a worker thread are reported to
the main thread. No longer ignore BaseException or parsing errors
silently.
* Remove 'finished' variable: use worker.is_alive() instead
* Always compute omitted tests. Add Regrtest.get_executed() method.
On Unix, C extensions are no longer linked to libpython.
It is now possible to load a C extension built using a shared library
Python with a statically linked Python.
When Python is embedded, libpython must not be loaded with
RTLD_LOCAL, but RTLD_GLOBAL instead. Previously, using RTLD_LOCAL, it
was already not possible to load C extensions which were not linked
to libpython, like C extensions of the standard library built by the
"*shared*" section of Modules/Setup.
distutils, python-config and python-config.py have been modified.
bpo-28552, bpo-7774: Fix distutils.sysconfig if sys.executable is
None or an empty string: use os.getcwd() to initialize project_base.
Fix also the distutils build command: don't use sys.executable if
it's evaluated as false (None or empty string).
Release build and debug build are now ABI compatible: the Py_DEBUG
define no longer implies Py_TRACE_REFS define which introduces the
only ABI incompatibility.
A new "./configure --with-trace-refs" build option is now required to
get Py_TRACE_REFS define which adds sys.getobjects() function and
PYTHONDUMPREFS environment variable.
Changes:
* Add ./configure --with-trace-refs
* Py_DEBUG no longer implies Py_TRACE_REFS
"./configure --with-pymalloc" no longer adds the "m" flag to SOABI
(sys.implementation.cache_tag).
Enabling or disabling pymalloc has no impact on the ABI.
Change test_time.test_monotonic() to test only the lower bound of elapsed time
after a sleep command rather than the upper bound. This prevents unnecessary
test failures on slow buildbots. Patch by Victor Stinner.
Add a new _testinternalcapi module to test the internal C API.
Move _Py_GetConfigsAsDict() function to the internal C API:
_testembed now uses _testinternalcapi to access the function.
Change PyAPI_FUNC(type), PyAPI_DATA(type) and PyMODINIT_FUNC macros
of pyport.h when Py_BUILD_CORE_MODULE is defined.
The Py_BUILD_CORE_MODULE define must be now be used to build a C
extension as a dynamic library accessing Python internals: export the
PyInit_xxx() function in DLL exports on Windows.
Changes:
* Py_BUILD_CORE_BUILTIN and Py_BUILD_CORE_MODULE now imply
Py_BUILD_CORE directy in pyport.h.
* ceval.c compilation now fails with an error if Py_BUILD_CORE is not
defined, just to ensure that Python is build with the correct
defines.
* setup.py now compiles _pickle.c with Py_BUILD_CORE_MODULE define.
* setup.py compiles _json.c with Py_BUILD_CORE_MODULE define, rather
than Py_BUILD_CORE_BUILTIN define
* PCbuild/pythoncore.vcxproj: Add Py_BUILD_CORE_BUILTIN define.
Fix Python Initialization code on FreeBSD to detect properly when
stdin file descriptor (fd 0) is invalid.
On FreeBSD, fstat() must be used to check if stdin (fd 0) is valid.
dup(0) doesn't fail if stdin is invalid in some cases.
shutil.which() and distutils.spawn.find_executable() now use
os.confstr("CS_PATH") if available instead of os.defpath, if the PATH
environment variable is not set.
Don't use os.confstr("CS_PATH") nor os.defpath if the PATH
environment variable is set to an empty string to mimick Unix 'which'
command behavior.
Changes:
* find_executable() now starts by checking for the executable in the
current working directly case. Add an explicit
"if not path: return None".
* Add tests for PATH='' (empty string), PATH=':' and for PATHEXT.
The imap.IMAP4.logout() method no longer ignores silently arbitrary
exceptions.
Changes:
* The IMAP4.logout() method now expects a "BYE" untagged response,
rather than relying on _check_bye() which raises a self.abort()
exception.
* IMAP4.__exit__() now does nothing if the client already logged out.
* Add more debug info if test_logout() tests fail.
Add new keyword arguments "default_namespace" and "xml_declaration" to functions ET.tostring() and ET.tostringlist(), as known from ElementTree.write().
In Python having a trace function in effect while mock is imported causes isinstance to be wrong for MagicMocks. This is due to the usage of super() in some class methods, as this sets the __class__ attribute. To avoid this, as a workaround, alias the usage of super .
Omit serialno field from debug hooks on Python memory allocators to
reduce the memory footprint by 5%.
Enable tracemalloc to get the traceback where a memory block has been
allocated when a fatal memory error is logged to decide where to put
a breakpoint.
Compile Python with PYMEM_DEBUG_SERIALNO defined to get back the
field.
Add -fmax-type-align=8 to CFLAGS when clang compiler is detected.
The pymalloc memory allocator aligns memory on 8 bytes. On x86-64,
clang expects alignment on 16 bytes by default and so uses MOVAPS
instruction which can lead to segmentation fault. Instruct clang that
Python is limited to alignemnt on 8 bytes to use MOVUPS instruction
instead: slower but don't trigger a SIGSEGV if the memory is not
aligned on 16 bytes.
Sadly, the flag must be expected to CFLAGS and not just
CFLAGS_NODIST, since third party C extensions can have the same
issue.
This is effectively an un-revert of #11617 and #12024 (reverted in #12159). Portions of those were merged in other PRs (with lower risk) and this represents the remainder. Note that I found 3 different bugs in the original PRs and have fixed them here.
In development mode (-X dev) and in debug build, the io.IOBase
destructor now logs close() exceptions. These exceptions are silent
by default in release mode.
On AIX, sys.platform doesn't contain the major version anymore.
Always return 'aix', instead of 'aix3' .. 'aix7'. Since
older Python versions include the version number, it is recommended to
always use sys.platform.startswith('aix').
