* Implement math.remainder.
* Fix markup for arguments; use double spaces after period.
* Mark up function reference in what's new entry.
* Add comment explaining the calculation in the final branch.
* Fix out-of-order entry in whatsnew.
* Add comment explaining why it's good enough to compare m with c, in spite of possible rounding error.
Fix the use of recursion in itertools.chain.from_iterable. Using recursion
is unnecessary, and can easily cause stack overflows, especially when
building in low optimization modes or with Py_DEBUG enabled.
Element.getiterator() and the html parameter of XMLParser() were
deprecated only in the documentation (since Python 3.2 and 3.4 correspondintly).
Now using them emits a deprecation warning.
* Don’t need check_warnings any more.
There was few cases of using literal 0 instead of NULL in the context of
pointers. While this was a legitimate C code, using NULL rather than 0 makes
the code clearer.
* bpo-6532: Make the thread id an unsigned integer.
From C API side the type of results of PyThread_start_new_thread() and
PyThread_get_thread_ident(), the id parameter of
PyThreadState_SetAsyncExc(), and the thread_id field of PyThreadState
changed from "long" to "unsigned long".
* Restore a check in thread_get_ident().
* Add _PyObject_HasFastCall()
* partial_call() now avoids temporary tuple to pass positional
arguments if the callable supports the FASTCALL calling convention
for positional arguments.
* Fix also a performance regression in partial_call() if the callable
doesn't support FASTCALL.
Directory and zipfile execution previously added
the parent directory of the directory or zipfile
as sys.path[0] and then subsequently overwrote
it with the directory or zipfile itself.
This caused problems in isolated mode, as it
overwrote the "stdlib as a zip archive" entry
in sys.path, as the parent directory was
never added.
The attempted fix to that issue in bpo-29319
created the opposite problem in *non*-isolated
mode, by potentially leaving the parent
directory on sys.path instead of overwriting it.
This change fixes the root cause of the problem
by removing the whole "add-and-overwrite" dance
for sys.path[0], and instead simply never adds
the parent directory to sys.path in the first
place.
* bpo-26121: Use C library implementation for math functions:
tgamma(), lgamma(), erf() and erfc().
* Don't use tgamma() and lgamma() from libc on OS X.
sys.version and the platform module python_build(),
python_branch(), and python_revision() functions now use
git information rather than hg when building from a repo.
Based on original patches by Brett Cannon and Steve Dower.
* init commit, with initial tests for from_param and fields __set__ and __get__, and some additions to from_buffer and from_buffer_copy
* added the rest of tests and patches. probably only a first draft.
* removed trailing spaces
* replace ctype with ctypes in error messages
* change back from ctypes instance to ctype instance
The curses module used mkstemp() + fopen() to create a temporary file in
/tmp. The /tmp directory does not exist on Android. The tmpfile()
function simplifies the task a lot. It creates a temporary file in a
correct directory, takes care of cleanup and returns FILE*.
tmpfile is supported on all platforms (C89, POSIX 2001, Android,
Windows).

sock_addr_t is used to define the minimum size of any socket address on
the stack. Let's make sure that an AF_ALG address always fits. Coverity
complains because in theory, AF_ALG might be larger than any of the other
structs. In practice it already fits.

* Fixed bpo-29565: Corrected ctypes passing of large structs by value.
Added code and test to check that when a structure passed by value
is large enough to need to be passed by reference, a copy of the
original structure is passed. The callee updates the passed-in value,
and the test verifies that the caller's copy is unchanged. A similar
change was also added to the test added for bpo-20160 (that test was
passing, but the changes should guard against regressions).
* Reverted unintended whitespace changes.

Issue #29452: Use METH_FASTCALL calling convention for index(), insert() and
rotate() methods of collections.deque to avoid the creation a temporary tuple
to pass position arguments. Speedup on deque methods:
* d.rotate(): 1.10x faster
* d.rotate(1): 1.24x faster
* d.insert(): 1.18x faster
* d.index(): 1.24x faster
Issue #29300: Rename struct.unpack() second parameter from "inputstr" to
"buffer", and use the Py_buffer type.
Fix also unit tests on struct.unpack() which passed a Unicode string instead of
a bytes string as struct.unpack() second parameter. The purpose of
test_trailing_counter() is to test invalid format strings, not to test the
buffer parameter.
* The struct module now requires contiguous buffers.
* Convert most functions and methods of the _struct module to Argument Clinic
* Use "Py_buffer" type for the "buffer" argument. Argument Clinic is
responsible to create and release the Py_buffer object.
* Use "PyStructObject *" type for self to avoid explicit conversions.
* Add an unit test on the _struct.Struct.unpack_from() method to test passing
arguments as keywords.
* Rephrase docstrings.
* Rename "fmt" argument to "format" in docstrings and the documentation.
As a side effect, functions and methods which used METH_VARARGS calling
convention like struct.pack() now use the METH_FASTCALL calling convention
which avoids the creation of temporary tuple to pass positional arguments and
so is faster. For example, struct.pack("i", 1) becomes 1.56x faster (-36%)::
$ ./python -m perf timeit \
-s 'import struct; pack=struct.pack' 'pack("i", 1)' \
--compare-to=../default-ref/python
Median +- std dev: 119 ns +- 1 ns -> 76.8 ns +- 0.4 ns: 1.56x faster (-36%)
Significant (t=295.91)
Patch co-written with Serhiy Storchaka.
Issue #29286. Run Argument Clinic to get the new faster METH_FASTCALL calling
convention for functions using "boring" positional arguments.
Manually fix _elementtree: _elementtree_XMLParser_doctype() must remain
consistent with the clinic code.
* Indent versionchanged at method level, not class level
* Mark up ``--help`` to avoid generating an en dash
* Use forward slash in Unix command line with a dollar sign ($) prompt
Fix time_hash() function: replace DATE_xxx() macros with TIME_xxx() macros.
Before, the hash function used a wrong value for microseconds if fold is set
(equal to 1).
Issue #28920: Replace _PyObject_CallMethodId(obj, meth, "O", arg) with
_PyObject_CallMethodIdObjArgs(obj, meth, arg, NULL) to avoid
_PyObject_CallMethodId() special case when arg is a tuple.
If arg is a tuple, _PyObject_CallMethodId() unpacks the tuple: obj.meth(*arg).
Issue #28915: Replace PyObject_CallFunction() with
PyObject_CallFunctionObjArgs() when the format string was only made of "O"
formats, PyObject* arguments.
PyObject_CallFunctionObjArgs() avoids the creation of a temporary tuple and
doesn't have to parse a format string.
Issue #28915: Replace _PyObject_CallMethodId() with
_PyObject_CallMethodIdObjArgs() in various modules when the format string was
only made of "O" formats, PyObject* arguments.
_PyObject_CallMethodIdObjArgs() avoids the creation of a temporary tuple and
doesn't have to parse a format string.
Issue #28915: Replace _PyObject_CallMethodId() with
_PyObject_CallMethodIdObjArgs() when the format string was only made of "O"
formats, PyObject* arguments.
_PyObject_CallMethodIdObjArgs() avoids the creation of a temporary tuple and
doesn't have to parse a format string.
Issue #28915: Replace _PyObject_CallMethodId() with

_PyObject_CallMethodIdObjArgs() avoids the creation of a temporary tuple and
doesn't have to parse a format string.
Issue #28915: Replace _PyObject_CallMethodId() with
_PyObject_CallMethodIdObjArgs() in unpickle(). _PyObject_CallMethodIdObjArgs()
avoids the creation of a temporary tuple and doesn't have to parse a format
string.
Replace _PyObject_CallMethodId() with _PyObject_GetAttrId()+PyObject_Call() for
the second call since it requires to "unpack" a tuple.
Add also a check in the type of the second parameter (state): it must be a
tuple.
Issue #28915: Replace _PyObject_CallMethodId() with
_PyObject_CallMethodIdObjArgs() when the format string was only made of "O"
formats, PyObject* arguments.
_PyObject_CallMethodIdObjArgs() avoids the creation of a temporary tuple and
doesn't have to parse a format string.
Issue #28915: Use PyObject_Call() to pass a tuple of positional arguments,
instead of relying on _PyObject_CallMethodId() weird behaviour to unpack the
tuple.
Issue #28915: Avoid calling _PyObject_CallMethodId() with "(...)" format to
avoid the creation of a temporary tuple: use Py_BuildValue() with
_PyObject_CallMethodIdObjArgs().
Issue #28915: Replace _PyObject_CallMethodId() with
_PyObject_CallMethodIdObjArgs() when the format string only use the format 'O'
for objects, like "(O)".
_PyObject_CallMethodIdObjArgs() avoids the code to parse a format string and
avoids the creation of a temporary tuple.
Replace
_PyObject_CallArg1(func, arg)
with
PyObject_CallFunctionObjArgs(func, arg, NULL)
Using the _PyObject_CallArg1() macro increases the usage of the C stack, which
was unexpected and unwanted. PyObject_CallFunctionObjArgs() doesn't have this
issue.
Issue #28858: The change b9c9691c72c5 introduced a regression. It seems like
_PyObject_CallArg1() uses more stack memory than
PyObject_CallFunctionObjArgs().
Replace
PyObject_CallFunction(func, "O", arg)
and
PyObject_CallFunction(func, "O", arg, NULL)
with
_PyObject_CallArg1(func, arg)
Replace
PyObject_CallFunction(func, NULL)
with
_PyObject_CallNoArg(func)
_PyObject_CallNoArg() and _PyObject_CallArg1() are simpler and don't allocate
memory on the C stack.
* PyObject_CallFunctionObjArgs(func, NULL) => _PyObject_CallNoArg(func)
* PyObject_CallFunctionObjArgs(func, arg, NULL) => _PyObject_CallArg1(func, arg)
PyObject_CallFunctionObjArgs() allocates 40 bytes on the C stack and requires
extra work to "parse" C arguments to build a C array of PyObject*.
_PyObject_CallNoArg() and _PyObject_CallArg1() are simpler and don't allocate
memory on the C stack.
This change is part of the fastcall project. The change on listsort() is
related to the issue #23507.
