sporadic crashes in multi-thread programs when several long deallocator
chains ran concurrently and involved subclasses of built-in container
types.
Because of this change, a couple extension modules compiled for 2.7.4
(those which use the trashcan mechanism, despite it being undocumented)
will not be loadable by 2.7.3 and earlier. However, extension modules
compiled for 2.7.3 and earlier will be loadable by 2.7.4.
environment variable, to provide an opt-in way to protect against denial of
service attacks due to hash collisions within the dict and set types. Patch
by David Malcolm, based on work by Victor Stinner.
TLS implementations, and fails with the ad-hoc TLS implementation when a thread
doesn't have an auto thread state (e.g. a thread created outside of Python
calling into a subinterpreter).
message:
Reconcile with the 2.6svn branch. The 2.6.7 release will be made from
Subversion, but there were differences, so this brings them in sync. These
changes should *not* propagate to any newer versions.

Issue #9036: Throughout the code base, Py_CHARMASK is used on 8-bit wide
signed/unsigned chars or on integers directly derived from those. In all
cases, it could be replaced by a simple cast to (unsigned char). Reasons
for the change:
a) Make the comment more explicit.
b) If char is unsigned, the cast is optimized away.
c) If char is unsigned, gcc emits spurious "array subscript
has type 'char'" warnings.

* PyCObject_AsVoidPtr() can now open capsules. This addresses
most of the remaining backwards-compatibility concerns about
the conversion of Python 2.7 from CObjects to capsules.
* CObjects were marked Pending Deprecation.
* Documentation about this pending deprecation was added to
cobject.h.
* The capsule source files were added to the legacy PC build
processes.

(the latter renamed to _PyLong_Frexp) now use the same core code. The
exponent produced by _PyLong_Frexp now has type Py_ssize_t instead of the
previously used int, and no longer needs scaling by PyLong_SHIFT. This
frees the math module from having to know anything about the PyLong
implementation. This closes issue #5576.
equivalent[*] check that doesn't produce compiler warnings about a 'x < 0'
check on an unsigned type.
[*] it's equivalent for inputs of type size_t or Py_ssize_t, or any smaller
unsigned or signed integer type.
multi-architecture build (in particular when the architectures don't share
a common pointer size).
Fixed the same issue for SIZEOF_PTHREAD_T.

feature)
Objects/floatobject.c and Objects/complexobject.c. This should silence
compiler warnings about implicit declaration of the 'finite' function

string <-> float conversions; this makes sure that the result of the round
operation is correctly rounded, and hence displays nicely using the new float
repr.
- add double endianness detection to configure script
- add configure-time check to see whether we can use inline
assembly to get and set x87 control word in configure script
- add functions to get and set x87 control word in Python/pymath.c
- add pyport.h logic to determine whether it's safe to use the
short float repr or not
Add the Python/dtoa.c file containing the main algorithms;
add corresponding include file and include in Python.h;
include license information for Python/dtoa.c;
add dtoa.c and dtoa.h to Makefile.
The debug memory api now keeps track of which external API (PyMem_* or PyObject_*) was used to allocate each block and treats any API violation as an error. Added separate _PyMem_DebugMalloc functions for the Py_Mem API instead of having it use the _PyObject_DebugMalloc functions.

Fix issue #1590864, multiple threads and fork() can cause deadlocks, by
acquiring the import lock around fork() calls. This prevents other threads
from having that lock while the fork happens, and is the recommended way of
dealing with such issues. There are two other locks we care about, the GIL
and the Thread Local Storage lock. The GIL is obviously held when calling
Python functions like os.fork(), and the TLS lock is explicitly reallocated
instead, while also deleting now-orphaned TLS data.
This only fixes calls to os.fork(), not extension modules or embedding
programs calling C's fork() directly. Solving that requires a new set of API
functions, and possibly a rewrite of the Python/thread_*.c mess. Add a
warning explaining the problem to the documentation in the mean time.
This also changes behaviour a little on AIX. Before, AIX (but only AIX) was
getting the import lock reallocated, seemingly to avoid this very same
problem. This is not the right approach, because the import lock is a
re-entrant one, and reallocating would do the wrong thing when forking while
holding the import lock.
Will backport to 2.6, minus the tiny AIX behaviour change.
