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 #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 #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.
CID 1291697 (#1 of 1): Dereference before null check (REVERSE_INULL)
check_after_deref: Null-checking tb suggests that it may be null, but it has already been dereferenced on all paths leading to the check.
Flushing sys.stdout and sys.stderr in Py_FatalError() can call again
Py_FatalError(). Add a reentrant flag to detect this case and just abort at the
second call.
sys.stderr
It should help to see exceptions when stderr if buffered: PyErr_Display() calls
sys.stderr.write(), it doesn't write into stderr file descriptor directly.
* Display the current Python stack if an exception was raised but the exception
has no traceback
* Disable faulthandler if an exception was raised (before it was only disabled
if no exception was raised)
* To display the current Python stack, call PyGILState_GetThisThreadState()
which works even if the GIL was released
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.
