Issue #26563: Debug hooks on Python memory allocators now raise a fatal error
if functions of the PyMem_Malloc() family are called without holding the GIL.
Issue #26516:
* Add PYTHONMALLOC environment variable to set the Python memory
allocators and/or install debug hooks.
* PyMem_SetupDebugHooks() can now also be used on Python compiled in release
mode.
* The PYTHONMALLOCSTATS environment variable can now also be used on Python
compiled in release mode. It now has no effect if set to an empty string.
* In debug mode, debug hooks are now also installed on Python memory allocators
when Python is configured without pymalloc.
Too bad, sometimes Py_FatalError() is unable to write the exception into
sys.stderr (on "AMD64 OpenIndiana 3.x" buildbot, the buildbot was probably out
of memory).
Call Py_FatalError() with a different message for the two cases (result+error,
or no result and no error).
which returned an invalid result (result+error or no result without error) in
the exception message.
Add also unit test to check that the exception contains the name of the
function.
Special case: the final _PyEval_EvalFrameEx() check doesn't mention the
function since it didn't execute a single function but a whole frame.
The new syntax is highly human readable while still preventing false
positives. The syntax also extends Python syntax to denote "self" and
positional-only parameters, allowing inspect.Signature objects to be
totally accurate for all supported builtins in Python 3.4.
annotate text signatures in docstrings, resulting in fewer false
positives. "self" parameters are also explicitly marked, allowing
inspect.Signature() to authoritatively detect (and skip) said parameters.
Issue #20326: Argument Clinic now generates separate checksums for the
input and output sections of the block, allowing external tools to verify
that the input has not changed (and thus the output is not out-of-date).
PyMethodDescr_Type, _PyMethodWrapper_Type, and PyWrapperDescr_Type)
have been modified to provide introspection information for builtins.
Also: many additional Lib, test suite, and Argument Clinic fixes.
This new pre-initialization API allows embedding
applications like Blender to force a particular
encoding and error handler for the standard IO streams.
Also refactors Modules/_testembed.c to let us start
testing multiple embedding scenarios.
