# Pull Request title
It should be in the following format:
```
bpo-NNNN: Summary of the changes made
```
Where: bpo-NNNN refers to the issue number in the https://bugs.python.org.
Most PRs will require an issue number. Trivial changes, like fixing a typo, do not need an issue.
# Backport Pull Request title
If this is a backport PR (PR made against branches other than `master`),
please ensure that the PR title is in the following format:
```
[X.Y] <title from the original PR> (GH-NNNN)
```
Where: [X.Y] is the branch name, e.g. [3.6].
GH-NNNN refers to the PR number from `master`.

Address a C undefined behavior signed integer overflow issue in set object table resizing. Our -fwrapv compiler flag and practical reasons why sets are unlikely to get this large should mean this was never an issue but it was incorrect code that generates code analysis warnings.

GCC complains:
Python/pylifecycle.c: In function ‘_Py_InitializeFromConfig’:
Python/pylifecycle.c:900:13: warning: ‘interp’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
err = _Py_InitializeMainInterpreter(interp, &main_config);
~~~~^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This seems spurious since &interp is passed to _Py_InitializeCore. Anyway, we
can easily initialize to quiet the warning.
Although the kernel accepts any negative value for timeout, the
documented value to block indefinitely is -1.
This commit also makes the code similar to select.poll.poll().
When subprocess.Popen() stdin= stdout= or stderr= handles are specified
and appear in pass_fds=, don't close the original fds after dup'ing them.
This implementation and unittest primarily came from @izbyshev (see the PR)

This also removes the old manual p2cread, c2pwrite, and errwrite closing logic
as inheritable flags and _close_open_fds takes care of that properly today without special treatment.
This code is within child_exec() where it is the only thread so there is no
race condition between the dup and _Py_set_inheritable_async_safe call.
The recursive frame pruning code always undercounted the number of elided frames
by one. That is, in the "[Previous line repeated N more times]" message, N would
always be one too few. Near the recursive pruning cutoff, one frame could be
silently dropped. That situation is demonstrated in the OP of the bug report.
The fix is to start the identical frame counter at 1.
