* BUILD_TUPLE_UNPACK and BUILD_MAP_UNPACK_WITH_CALL no longer generated with
single tuple or dict.
* Restored more informative error messages for incorrect var-positional and
var-keyword arguments.
* Removed code duplications in _PyEval_EvalCodeWithName().
* Removed redundant runtime checks and parameters in _PyStack_AsDict().
* Added a workaround and enabled previously disabled test in test_traceback.
* Removed dead code from the dis module.
The __class__ cell used by zero-argument super() is now initialized
from type.__new__ rather than __build_class__, so class methods
relying on that will now work correctly when called from metaclass
methods during class creation.

Issue #27810:
* Modify vgetargskeywordsfast() to work on a C array of PyObject* rather than
working on a tuple directly.
* Add _PyArg_ParseStack()
* Argument Clinic now emits code using the new METH_FASTCALL calling convention
Issue #27810: Add a new calling convention for C functions:
PyObject* func(PyObject *self, PyObject **args,
Py_ssize_t nargs, PyObject *kwnames);
Where args is a C array of positional arguments followed by values of keyword
arguments. nargs is the number of positional arguments, kwnames are keys of
keyword arguments. kwnames can be NULL.
Tested on macOS 10.11 dtrace, Ubuntu 16.04 SystemTap, and libbcc.
Largely based by an initial patch by Jesús Cea Avión, with some
influence from Dave Malcolm's SystemTap patch and Nikhil Benesch's
unification patch.
Things deliberately left out for simplicity:
- ustack helpers, I have no way of testing them at this point since
they are Solaris-specific
- PyFrameObject * in function__entry/function__return, this is
SystemTap-specific
- SPARC support
- dynamic tracing
- sys module dtrace facility introspection
All of those might be added later.
Issue #27830: Add _PyObject_FastCallKeywords(): avoid the creation of a
temporary dictionary for keyword arguments.
Other changes:
* Cleanup call_function() and fast_function() (ex: rename nk to nkwargs)
* Remove now useless do_call(), replaced with _PyObject_FastCallKeywords()
Issue #27213: Rework CALL_FUNCTION* opcodes to produce shorter and more
efficient bytecode:
* CALL_FUNCTION now only accepts position arguments
* CALL_FUNCTION_KW accepts position arguments and keyword arguments, but keys
of keyword arguments are packed into a constant tuple.
* CALL_FUNCTION_EX is the most generic, it expects a tuple and a dict for
positional and keyword arguments.
CALL_FUNCTION_VAR and CALL_FUNCTION_VAR_KW opcodes have been removed.
2 tests of test_traceback are currently broken: skip test, the issue #28050 was
created to track the issue.

and Victor Stinner.
symtable_analyze() calls analyze_block() with bound=NULL. Theoretically
that NULL can be passed down to update_symbols(). update_symbols() may
deference NULL and pass it to PySet_Contains()
Issue #27776: The os.urandom() function does now block on Linux 3.17 and newer
until the system urandom entropy pool is initialized to increase the security.
This change is part of the PEP 524.
Don't pass "()" format to PyObject_CallXXX() to call a function without
argument: pass NULL as the format string instead. It avoids to have to parse a
string to produce 0 argument.
Issue #27830: Similar to _PyObject_FastCallDict(), but keyword arguments are
also passed in the same C array than positional arguments, rather than being
passed as a Python dict.
Issue #27809: PyEval_CallObjectWithKeywords() doesn't increment temporary the
reference counter of the args tuple (positional arguments). The caller already
holds a strong reference to it.
This was found by PVS-Studio:
V595 The 'def' pointer was utilized before it was verified
against nullptr. Check lines: 286, 292. pystate.c 286
Initial patch by Christian Heimes.
Issue #27128. When a Python function is called with no arguments, but all
parameters have a default value: use default values as arguments for the fast
path.
Issue #27128: Modify PyEval_CallObjectWithKeywords() to use
_PyObject_FastCall() when args==NULL and kw==NULL. It avoids the creation of a
temporary empty tuple for positional arguments.
Issue #27128: Add _PyObject_FastCall(), a new calling convention avoiding a
temporary tuple to pass positional parameters in most cases, but create a
temporary tuple if needed (ex: for the tp_call slot).
The API is prepared to support keyword parameters, but the full implementation
will come later (_PyFunction_FastCall() doesn't support keyword parameters
yet).
Add also:
* _PyStack_AsTuple() helper function: convert a "stack" of parameters to
a tuple.
* _PyCFunction_FastCall(): fast call implementation for C functions
* _PyFunction_FastCall(): fast call implementation for Python functions
Issue #27558: Fix a SystemError in the implementation of "raise" statement.
In a brand new thread, raise a RuntimeError since there is no active
exception to reraise.
Patch written by Xiang Zhang.
Issue #27128, #18295: replace int type with Py_ssize_t for index variables used
for positional arguments. It should help to avoid integer overflow and help to
emit better machine code for "i++" (no trap needed for overflow).
Make also the total_args variable constant.
* Add comments
* Add empty lines for readability
* PEP 7 style for if block
* Remove useless assert(globals != NULL); (globals is tested a few lines
before)
Modify py_getrandom() to not call PyErr_CheckSignals() if raise is zero.
_PyRandom_Init() is called very early in the Python initialization, so it's
safer to not call PyErr_CheckSignals().
* Add pyurandom() helper function to factorize the code
* don't call Py_FatalError() in helper functions, but only in _PyRandom_Init()
if pyurandom() failed, to uniformize the code
Large sections of repeated lines in tracebacks are now abbreviated as
"[Previous line repeated {count} more times]" by both the traceback
module and the builtin traceback rendering.

or builtins for importing submodules or "from import". Fixed a crash if
raise a warning about unabling to resolve package from __spec__ or
__package__.
SHOW_ALLOC_COUNT or SHOW_TRACK_COUNT macros is now off by default. It can
be re-enabled using the "-X showalloccount" option. It now outputs to stderr
instead of stdout.
Issue #27278: Fix os.urandom() implementation using getrandom() on Linux.
Truncate size to INT_MAX and loop until we collected enough random bytes,
instead of casting a directly Py_ssize_t to int.
plat-$(PLATFORM_TRIPLET).
Rename the config directory (LIBPL) from config-$(LDVERSION) to
config-$(LDVERSION)-$(PLATFORM_TRIPLET).
Install the platform specifc _sysconfigdata module into the platform
directory and rename it to include the ABIFLAGS.
Issue #26839: On Linux, os.urandom() now calls getrandom() with GRND_NONBLOCK
to fall back on reading /dev/urandom if the urandom entropy pool is not
initialized yet. Patch written by Colm Buckley.
* Replace PyUnicode_RPartition() with PyUnicode_FindChar() and
PyUnicode_Substring() to avoid the creation of a temporary tuple.
* Use PyUnicode_FromFormat() to build a string and avoid the single_dot ('.')
singleton
Thanks Serhiy Storchaka for your review.
Issue #27057: Fix os.set_inheritable() on Android, ioctl() is blocked by
SELinux and fails with EACCESS. The function now falls back to fcntl().
Patch written by Michał Bednarski.
Issue #26770: set_inheritable() avoids calling fcntl() twice if the FD_CLOEXEC
is already set/cleared. This change only impacts platforms using the fcntl()
implementation of set_inheritable() (not Linux nor Windows).
Issue #26735: Fix os.urandom() on Solaris 11.3 and newer when reading more than
1,024 bytes: call getrandom() multiple times with a limit of 1024 bytes per
call.
Issue #20021: use importlib.machinery to import Lib/opcode.py and not an opcode
module coming from somewhere else. makeopcodetargets.py is part of the Python
build process and it is run by an external Python program, not the built Python
program.
Patch written by Serhiy Storchaka.
* Simply use "import opcode" to import the opcode module instead of tricks
using the imp module
* Use context manager for the output file
* Move code into a new main() function
* Replace assert with a regular if to check the number of arguments
* Import modules at top level
Issue #26637: The importlib module now emits an ImportError rather than a
TypeError if __import__() is tried during the Python shutdown process but
sys.path is already cleared (set to None).
Issue #26588:
* Pass the hash table rather than the key size to hash and compare functions
* _Py_HASHTABLE_READ_KEY() and _Py_HASHTABLE_ENTRY_READ_KEY() macros now expect
the hash table as the first parameter, rather than the key size
* tracemalloc_get_traces_fill(): use _Py_HASHTABLE_ENTRY_READ_DATA() rather
than pointer dereference
* Remove the _Py_HASHTABLE_ENTRY_WRITE_PKEY() macro
* Move "PKEY" and "PDATA" macros inside hashtable.c
Issue #26592: _warnings.warn_explicit() now tries to import the warnings module
(Python implementation) if the source parameter is set to be able to log the
traceback where the source was allocated.
Issue #26604:
* Add a new optional source parameter to _warnings.warn() and warnings.warn()
* Modify asyncore, asyncio and _pyio modules to set the source parameter when
logging a ResourceWarning warning
Issue #26588: hashtable.h now supports keys of any size, not only
sizeof(void*). It allows to support key larger than sizeof(void*), but also to
use less memory for key smaller than sizeof(void*).
Change pushed by mistake, the patch is still under review :-/
"""
_tracemalloc: add domain to trace keys
* hashtable.h: key has now a variable size
* _tracemalloc uses (pointer: void*, domain: unsigned int) as key for traces
"""
Issue #26567:
* Add a new function PyErr_ResourceWarning() function to pass the destroyed
object
* Add a source attribute to warnings.WarningMessage
* Add warnings._showwarnmsg() which uses tracemalloc to get the traceback where
source object was allocated.
Issue #26568: add new _showwarnmsg() and _formatwarnmsg() functions to the
warnings module.
The C function warn_explicit() now calls warnings._showwarnmsg() with a
warnings.WarningMessage as parameter, instead of calling warnings.showwarning()
with multiple parameters.
_showwarnmsg() calls warnings.showwarning() if warnings.showwarning() was
replaced. Same for _formatwarnmsg(): call warnings.formatwarning() if it was
replaced.
Issue #26563:
* Add _PyGILState_GetInterpreterStateUnsafe() function: the single
PyInterpreterState used by this process' GILState implementation.
* Enhance _Py_DumpTracebackThreads() to retrieve the interpreter state from
autoInterpreterState in last resort. The function now accepts NULL for interp
and current_tstate parameters.
* test_faulthandler: fix a ResourceWarning when test is interrupted by CTRL+c
Issue #26538: libregrtest: Fix setup_tests() to keep module.__path__ type
(_NamespacePath), don't convert to a list.
Add _NamespacePath.__setitem__() method to importlib._bootstrap_external.
Issue #26564:
* Expose _Py_DumpASCII() and _Py_DumpDecimal() in traceback.h
* Change the type of the second _Py_DumpASCII() parameter from int to unsigned
long
* Rewrite _Py_DumpDecimal() and dump_hexadecimal() to write directly characters
in the expected order, avoid the need of reversing the string.
* dump_hexadecimal() limits width to the size of the buffer
* _Py_DumpASCII() does nothing if the object is not a Unicode string
* dump_frame() wrtites "???" as the line number if the line number is negative
Issue #10915, #15751, #26558:
* PyGILState_Check() now returns 1 (success) before the creation of the GIL and
after the destruction of the GIL. It allows to use the function early in
Python initialization and late in Python finalization.
* Add a flag to disable PyGILState_Check(). Disable PyGILState_Check() when
Py_NewInterpreter() is called
* Add assert(PyGILState_Check()) to: _Py_dup(), _Py_fstat(), _Py_read()
and _Py_write()
Issue #26558: If Py_FatalError() is called without the GIL, don't try to print
the current exception, nor try to flush stdout and stderr: only dump the
traceback of Python threads.
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.
In practice, bytecode instruction arguments are unsigned. Update the assertion
to make it more explicit that argument must be greater or equal than 0.
Rewrite also the comment.
The compile ignores constant statements and emit a SyntaxWarning warning.
Don't emit the warning for string statement because triple quoted string is a
common syntax for multiline comments.
Don't emit the warning on ellipis neither: 'def f(): ...' is a legit syntax for
abstract functions.
Changes:
* test_ast: ignore SyntaxWarning when compiling test statements. Modify
test_load_const() to use assignment expressions rather than constant
expression.
* test_code: add more kinds of constant statements, ignore SyntaxWarning when
testing that the compiler removes constant statements.
* test_grammar: ignore SyntaxWarning on the statement "1"
