* Replace PY_INT64_T with int64_t
* Replace PY_UINT32_T with uint32_t
* Replace PY_UINT64_T with uint64_t
sha3module.c no longer checks if PY_UINT64_T is defined since it's
always defined and uint64_t is always available on platforms
supported by Python.
Add random.randbytes() function and random.Random.randbytes()
method to generate random bytes.
Modify secrets.token_bytes() to use SystemRandom.randbytes()
rather than calling directly os.urandom().
Rename also genrand_int32() to genrand_uint32(), since it returns an
unsigned 32-bit integer, not a signed integer.
The _random module is now built with Py_BUILD_CORE_MODULE defined.
Add a new internal pycore_byteswap.h header file with the following
functions:
* _Py_bswap16()
* _Py_bswap32()
* _Py_bswap64()
Use these functions in _ctypes, sha256 and sha512 modules,
and also use in the UTF-32 encoder.
sha256, sha512 and _ctypes modules are now built with the internal
C API.
Rename _PyInterpreterState_GET_UNSAFE() to _PyInterpreterState_GET()
for consistency with _PyThreadState_GET() and to have a shorter name
(help to fit into 80 columns).
Add also "assert(tstate != NULL);" to the function.
Move the PyGC_Head structure and the following private macros to the
internal C API:
* _PyGCHead_FINALIZED()
* _PyGCHead_NEXT()
* _PyGCHead_PREV()
* _PyGCHead_SET_FINALIZED()
* _PyGCHead_SET_NEXT()
* _PyGCHead_SET_PREV()
* _PyGC_FINALIZED()
* _PyGC_PREV_MASK
* _PyGC_PREV_MASK_COLLECTING
* _PyGC_PREV_MASK_FINALIZED
* _PyGC_PREV_SHIFT
* _PyGC_SET_FINALIZED()
* _PyObject_GC_IS_TRACKED()
* _PyObject_GC_MAY_BE_TRACKED()
* _Py_AS_GC(o)
Keep the private _PyGC_FINALIZED() macro in the public C API for
backward compatibility with Python 3.8: make it an alias to the new
PyObject_GC_IsFinalized() function.
Move the SIZEOF_PYGC_HEAD constant from _testcapi module to
_testinternalcapi module.
Don't access PyInterpreterState.config member directly anymore, but
use new functions:
* _PyInterpreterState_GetConfig()
* _PyInterpreterState_SetConfig()
* _Py_GetConfig()
Add the functions PyObject_GC_IsTracked and PyObject_GC_IsFinalized to the public API to allow to query if Python objects are being currently tracked or have been already finalized by the garbage collector respectively.
Fix the signal handler: it now always uses the main interpreter,
rather than trying to get the current Python thread state.
The following function now accepts an interpreter, instead of a
Python thread state:
* _PyEval_SignalReceived()
* _Py_ThreadCanHandleSignals()
* _PyEval_AddPendingCall()
* COMPUTE_EVAL_BREAKER()
* SET_GIL_DROP_REQUEST(), RESET_GIL_DROP_REQUEST()
* SIGNAL_PENDING_CALLS(), UNSIGNAL_PENDING_CALLS()
* SIGNAL_PENDING_SIGNALS(), UNSIGNAL_PENDING_SIGNALS()
* SIGNAL_ASYNC_EXC(), UNSIGNAL_ASYNC_EXC()
Py_AddPendingCall() now uses the main interpreter if it fails to the
current Python thread state.
Convert _PyThreadState_GET() and PyInterpreterState_GET_UNSAFE()
macros to static inline functions.
The PyObject_NEW() macro becomes an alias to the PyObject_New()
macro, and the PyObject_NEW_VAR() macro becomes an alias to the
PyObject_NewVar() macro, to hide implementation details. They no
longer access directly the PyTypeObject.tp_basicsize member.
Exclude _PyObject_SIZE() and _PyObject_VAR_SIZE() macros from
the limited C API.
Replace PyObject_NEW() with PyObject_New() and replace
PyObject_NEW_VAR() with PyObject_NewVar().
Add a private _at_fork_reinit() method to _thread.Lock,
_thread.RLock, threading.RLock and threading.Condition classes:
reinitialize the lock after fork in the child process; reset the lock
to the unlocked state.
Rename also the private _reset_internal_locks() method of
threading.Event to _at_fork_reinit().
* Add _PyThread_at_fork_reinit() private function. It is excluded
from the limited C API.
* threading.Thread._reset_internal_locks() now calls
_at_fork_reinit() on self._tstate_lock rather than creating a new
Python lock object.
This implements things like `list[int]`,
which returns an object of type `types.GenericAlias`.
This object mostly acts as a proxy for `list`,
but has attributes `__origin__` and `__args__`
that allow recovering the parts (with values `list` and `(int,)`.
There is also an approximate notion of type variables;
e.g. `list[T]` has a `__parameters__` attribute equal to `(T,)`.
Type variables are objects of type `typing.TypeVar`.
Convert the PyObject_GET_WEAKREFS_LISTPTR() macro to a function to
hide implementation details: the macro accessed directly to the
PyTypeObject.tp_weaklistoffset member.
Add _PyObject_GET_WEAKREFS_LISTPTR() static inline function to the
internal C API.
Add os.waitstatus_to_exitcode() function to convert a wait status to an
exitcode.
Suggest waitstatus_to_exitcode() usage in the documentation when
appropriate.
Use waitstatus_to_exitcode() in:
* multiprocessing, os, subprocess and _bootsubprocess modules;
* test.support.wait_process();
* setup.py: run_command();
* and many tests.
