Each interpreter now has its own dict free list:
* Move dict free lists into PyInterpreterState.
* Move PyDict_MAXFREELIST define to pycore_interp.h
* Add _Py_dict_state structure.
* Add tstate parameter to _PyDict_ClearFreeList() and _PyDict_Fini().
* In debug mode, ensure that the dict free lists are not used after
_PyDict_Fini() is called.
* Remove "#ifdef EXPERIMENTAL_ISOLATED_SUBINTERPRETERS".
The PyObject_INIT() and PyObject_INIT_VAR() macros become aliases to,
respectively, PyObject_Init() and PyObject_InitVar() functions.
Rename _PyObject_INIT() and _PyObject_INIT_VAR() static inline
functions to, respectively, _PyObject_Init() and _PyObject_InitVar(),
and move them to pycore_object.h. Remove their return value:
their return type becomes void.
The _datetime module is now built with the Py_BUILD_CORE_MODULE macro
defined.
Remove an outdated comment on _Py_tracemalloc_config.
The PEP 353, written in 2005, introduced PY_FORMAT_SIZE_T. Python no
longer supports macOS 10.4 and Visual Studio 2010, but requires more
recent macOS and Visual Studio versions. In 2020 with Python 3.10, it
is now safe to use directly "%zu" to format size_t and "%zi" to
format Py_ssize_t.
Each interpreter now has its own context free list:
* Move context free list into PyInterpreterState.
* Add _Py_context_state structure.
* Add tstate parameter to _PyContext_ClearFreeList()
and _PyContext_Fini().
* Pass tstate to clear_freelists().
Each interpreter now has its own asynchronous generator free lists:
* Move async gen free lists into PyInterpreterState.
* Move _PyAsyncGen_MAXFREELIST define to pycore_interp.h
* Add _Py_async_gen_state structure.
* Add tstate parameter to _PyAsyncGen_ClearFreeLists
and _PyAsyncGen_Fini().
Each interpreter now has its own list free list:
* Move list numfree and free_list into PyInterpreterState.
* Add _Py_list_state structure.
* Add tstate parameter to _PyList_ClearFreeList()
and _PyList_Fini().
* Remove "#ifdef EXPERIMENTAL_ISOLATED_SUBINTERPRETERS".
* _PyGC_Fini() clears gcstate->garbage list which can be stored in
the list free list. Call _PyGC_Fini() before _PyList_Fini() to
prevent leaking this list.
Each interpreter now has its own frame free list:
* Move frame free list into PyInterpreterState.
* Add _Py_frame_state structure.
* Add tstate parameter to _PyFrame_ClearFreeList()
and _PyFrame_Fini().
* Remove "#if PyFrame_MAXFREELIST > 0".
* Remove "#ifdef EXPERIMENTAL_ISOLATED_SUBINTERPRETERS".
Each interpreter now has its own float free list:
* Move tuple numfree and free_list into PyInterpreterState.
* Add _Py_float_state structure.
* Add tstate parameter to _PyFloat_ClearFreeList()
and _PyFloat_Fini().
Each interpreter now has its own tuple free lists:
* Move tuple numfree and free_list arrays into PyInterpreterState.
* Define PyTuple_MAXSAVESIZE and PyTuple_MAXFREELIST macros in
pycore_interp.h.
* Add _Py_tuple_state structure. Pass it explicitly to tuple_alloc().
* Add tstate parameter to _PyTuple_ClearFreeList()
* Each interpreter now has its own empty tuple singleton.
When Python is built with experimental isolated interpreters, a
garbage collection now does nothing in an isolated interpreter.
Temporary workaround until subinterpreters stop sharing Python
objects.
Remove the following function from the C API:
* PyAsyncGen_ClearFreeLists()
* PyContext_ClearFreeList()
* PyDict_ClearFreeList()
* PyFloat_ClearFreeList()
* PyFrame_ClearFreeList()
* PyList_ClearFreeList()
* PySet_ClearFreeList()
* PyTuple_ClearFreeList()
Make these functions private, move them to the internal C API and
change their return type to void.
Call explicitly PyGC_Collect() to free all free lists.
Note: PySet_ClearFreeList() did nothing.
Add the functions PyObject_GC_IsTracked and PyObject_GC_IsFinalized to the public API to allow to query if Python objects are being currently tracked or have been already finalized by the garbage collector respectively.
Convert the PyObject_GET_WEAKREFS_LISTPTR() macro to a function to
hide implementation details: the macro accessed directly to the
PyTypeObject.tp_weaklistoffset member.
Add _PyObject_GET_WEAKREFS_LISTPTR() static inline function to the
internal C API.

and then cleaned up:
- Revert changes to in docs & news
- Revert changes to backcompat defines in headers
- Nudge misaligned comments
collect() should not get an exception, but it does, logging the
exception is enough. Override sys.unraisablehook to decide how to
handle unraisable exceptions.
Py_FatalError() should be avoided whenever possible.
The comment about the collection rules for the permanent generation was
incorrectly referenced by a comment in gcmodule.c (the comment has been
moved long ago into a header file). Moving the comment into the relevant
code helps with readability and avoids broken references.
Remove PyMethod_ClearFreeList() and PyCFunction_ClearFreeList()
functions: the free lists of bound method objects have been removed.
Remove also _PyMethod_Fini() and _PyCFunction_Fini() functions.
* Add GCState type for readability
* gcmodule.c now gets its gcstate from tstate
* _PyGC_DumpShutdownStats() now expects tstate rather than runtime
* Rename "state" to "gcstate" for readability: to avoid confusion
between "state" and "tstate" for example.
* collect() now only expects tstate: it gets gcstate from tstate.
* Pass tstate to _PyErr_xxx() functions
* Factorize code in common between Py_FinalizeEx() and
Py_EndInterpreter().
* Py_EndInterpreter() now also calls _PyWarnings_Fini().
* Call _PyExc_Fini() and _PyGC_Fini() later in the finalization.
Add PyInterpreterState.runtime field: reference to the _PyRuntime
global variable. This field exists to not have to pass runtime in
addition to tstate to a function. Get runtime from tstate:
tstate->interp->runtime.
Remove "_PyRuntimeState *runtime" parameter from functions already
taking a "PyThreadState *tstate" parameter.
_PyGC_Init() first parameter becomes "PyThreadState *tstate".
It should be impossible for an untracked object to have the collecting
flag set. Back when state was stored in gc_refs, it obviously was
impossible (gc_refs couldn't possibly have a positive & negative value
simultaneously). While the _implementation_ of "state" has gotten much
more complicated, it's still _logically_ just as impossible.
* Misc gc code & comment cleanups.
validate_list: there are two temp flags polluting pointers, but this checked only one. Now it checks both, and verifies that the list head's pointers are not polluted.
move_unreachable: repaired incoherent comments. Added new comments. Cleared the pollution of the unreachable list head's 'next' pointer (it was expedient while the function was running, but there's no excuse for letting this damage survive the function's end).
* Update Modules/gcmodule.c

Currently if any finalizer invoked during garbage collection resurrects any object, the gc gives up and aborts the collection. Although finalizers are assured to only run once per object, this behaviour of the gc can lead to an ever-increasing memory situation if new resurrecting objects are allocated in every new gc collection.
To avoid this, recompute what objects among the unreachable set need to be resurrected and what objects can be safely collected. In this way, resurrecting objects will not block the collection of other objects in the unreachable set.
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.
In debug mode, PyObject_GC_Track() now calls tp_traverse() of the
object type to ensure that the object is valid: test that objects
visited by tp_traverse() are valid.
Fix pyexpat.c: only track the parser in the GC once the parser is
fully initialized.
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.
Fix a bug due to the interaction of weakrefs and the cyclic garbage
collector. We must clear any weakrefs in garbage in order to prevent
their callbacks from executing and causing a crash.
In debug mode, visit_decref() now calls _PyObject_IsFreed() to ensure
that the object is not freed. If it's freed, the program fails with
an assertion error and Python dumps informations about the freed
object.
gc used several PySys_WriteStderr() calls to write stats.
It caused stats mixed up when stderr is shared by multiple
processes like this:
gc: collecting generation 2...
gc: objects in each generation: 0 0gc: collecting generation 2...
gc: objects in each generation: 0 0 126077 126077
gc: objects in permanent generation: 0
gc: objects in permanent generation: 0
gc: done, 112575 unreachable, 0 uncollectablegc: done, 112575 unreachable, 0 uncollectable, 0.2223s elapsed
