In ArgumentClinic, value "NULL" should now be used only for unrepresentable default values
(like in the optional third parameter of getattr). "None" should be used if None is accepted
as argument and passing None has the same effect as not passing the argument at all.
Add a new public PyObject_CallNoArgs() function to the C API: call a
callable Python object without any arguments.
It is the most efficient way to call a callback without any argument.
On x86-64, for example, PyObject_CallFunctionObjArgs(func, NULL)
allocates 960 bytes on the stack per call, whereas
PyObject_CallNoArgs(func) only allocates 624 bytes per call.
It is excluded from stable ABI 3.8.
Replace private _PyObject_CallNoArg() with public
PyObject_CallNoArgs() in C extensions: _asyncio, _datetime,
_elementtree, _pickle, _tkinter and readline.
Allow reduction methods to return a 6-item tuple where the 6th item specifies a
custom state-setting method that's called instead of the regular
``__setstate__`` method.
Change PyAPI_FUNC(type), PyAPI_DATA(type) and PyMODINIT_FUNC macros
of pyport.h when Py_BUILD_CORE_MODULE is defined.
The Py_BUILD_CORE_MODULE define must be now be used to build a C
extension as a dynamic library accessing Python internals: export the
PyInit_xxx() function in DLL exports on Windows.
Changes:
* Py_BUILD_CORE_BUILTIN and Py_BUILD_CORE_MODULE now imply
Py_BUILD_CORE directy in pyport.h.
* ceval.c compilation now fails with an error if Py_BUILD_CORE is not
defined, just to ensure that Python is build with the correct
defines.
* setup.py now compiles _pickle.c with Py_BUILD_CORE_MODULE define.
* setup.py compiles _json.c with Py_BUILD_CORE_MODULE define, rather
than Py_BUILD_CORE_BUILTIN define
* PCbuild/pythoncore.vcxproj: Add Py_BUILD_CORE_BUILTIN define.
Don't pass complex expressions but regular variables to Python
macros.
* _datetimemodule.c: split single large "if" into two "if"
in date_new(), time_new() and datetime_new().
* _pickle.c, load_extension(): flatten complex "if" expression into
more regular C code.
* _ssl.c: addbool() now uses a temporary bool_obj to only evaluate
the value once.
* weakrefobject.c: replace "Py_INCREF(result = proxy);"
with "result = proxy; Py_INCREF(result);"
Two kind of mistakes:
1. Missed space. After concatenating there is no space between words.
2. Missed comma. Causes unintentional concatenating in a list of strings.
This makes performance better and produces shorter pickles. This change is backwards compatible up to the oldest currently supported version of Python (3.4).
PyMemoryView_FromMemory() created a memoryview referring to
the internal data of the string. When the string is destroyed
the memoryview become referring to a freed memory.
when serialize into memory buffer with C pickle implementations.
This optimization already is performed when serialize into memory
with Python pickle implementations or into a file with both
implementations.
The picklers do no longer allocate temporary memory when dumping large
bytes and str objects into a file object. Instead the data is
directly streamed into the underlying file object.
Previously the C implementation would buffer all content and issue a
single call to file.write() at the end of the dump. With protocol 4
this behavior has changed to issue one call to file.write() per frame.
The Python pickler with protocol 4 now dumps each frame content as a
memoryview to an IOBytes instance that is never reused and the
memoryview is no longer released after the call to write. This makes it
possible for the file object to delay access to the memoryview of
previous frames without forcing any additional memory copy as was
already possible with the C pickler.
The concrete PyDict_* API is used to interact with PyInterpreterState.modules in a number of places. This isn't compatible with all dict subclasses, nor with other Mapping implementations. This patch switches the concrete API usage to the corresponding abstract API calls.
We also add a PyImport_GetModule() function (and some other helpers) to reduce a bunch of code duplication.
* Add Py_UNREACHABLE() as an alias to abort().
* Use Py_UNREACHABLE() instead of assert(0)
* Convert more unreachable code to use Py_UNREACHABLE()
* Document Py_UNREACHABLE() and a few other macros.
PR #1638, for bpo-28411, causes problems in some (very) edge cases. Until that gets sorted out, we're reverting the merge. PR #3506, a fix on top of #1638, is also getting reverted.
* group the (stateful) runtime globals into various topical structs
* consolidate the topical structs under a single top-level _PyRuntimeState struct
* add a check-c-globals.py script that helps identify runtime globals
Other globals are excluded (see globals.txt and check-c-globals.py).
