* Add _PyObject_VectorcallTstate() function: similar to
_PyObject_Vectorcall(), but with tstate parameter

bpo-3605, bpo-38733: Optimize _PyErr_Occurred(): remove "tstate ==
NULL" test.
Py_FatalError() no longer calls PyErr_Occurred() if called without
holding the GIL. So PyErr_Occurred() no longer has to support
tstate==NULL case.
_Py_CheckFunctionResult(): use directly _PyErr_Occurred() to avoid
explicit "!= NULL" test.
Additional note: the `method_check_args` function in `Objects/descrobject.c` is written in such a way that it applies to all kinds of descriptors. In particular, a future re-implementation of `wrapper_descriptor` could use that code.

* Add _Py_EnterRecursiveCall() and _Py_LeaveRecursiveCall() which
require a tstate argument.
* Pass tstate to _Py_MakeRecCheck() and _Py_CheckRecursiveCall().
* Convert Py_EnterRecursiveCall() and Py_LeaveRecursiveCall() macros
to static inline functions.
_PyThreadState_GET() is the most efficient way to get the tstate, and
so using it with _Py_EnterRecursiveCall() and
_Py_LeaveRecursiveCall() should be a little bit more efficient than
using Py_EnterRecursiveCall() and Py_LeaveRecursiveCall() which use
the "slower" PyThreadState_GET().
The implementation of weakref.proxy's methods call back into the Python
API using a borrowed references of the weakly referenced object
(acquired via PyWeakref_GET_OBJECT). This API call may delete the last
reference to the object (either directly or via GC), leaving a dangling
pointer, which can be subsequently dereferenced.
To fix this, claim a temporary ownership of the referenced object when
calling the appropriate method. Some functions because at the moment they
do not need to access the borrowed referent, but to protect against
future changes to these functions, ownership need to be fixed in
all potentially affected methods.
It is similar to the more general code in the gc module, but
here we know the name of the module.

Some objects like Py_None are not initialized with conventional means
that prepare the circular linked list pointers, leaving them unlinked
from the rest of the objects. For those objects, NULL pointers does
not mean that they are freed, so we need to skip the check in those
cases.
bpo-36389, bpo-38376: The _PyObject_CheckConsistency() function is
now also available in release mode. For example, it can be used to
debug a crash in the visit_decref() function of the GC.
Modify the following functions to also work in release mode:
* _PyDict_CheckConsistency()
* _PyObject_CheckConsistency()
* _PyType_CheckConsistency()
* _PyUnicode_CheckConsistency()
Other changes:
* _PyMem_IsPtrFreed(ptr) now also returns 1 if ptr is NULL
(equals to 0).
* _PyBytesWriter_CheckConsistency() now returns 1 and is only used
with assert().
* Reorder _PyObject_Dump() to write safe fields first, and only
attempt to render repr() at the end.
bpo-37802, bpo-38321: Fix the following warnings:

'unsigned __int64' to 'sdigit', possible loss of data
longobject.c(428): warning C4267: 'function': conversion from

Document that lnotab can contain invalid bytecode offsets (because of
terrible reasons that are difficult to fix). Make dis.findlinestarts()
ignore invalid offsets in lnotab. All other uses of lnotab in CPython
(various reimplementations of addr2line or line2addr in Python, C and gdb)
already ignore this, because they take an address to look for, instead.
Add tests for the result of dis.findlinestarts() on wacky constructs in
test_peepholer.py, because it's the easiest place to add them.
Even when the helper is not started yet.
This behavior follows conventional generator one.
There is no reason for `async_generator_athrow` to handle `gen.throw()` differently.

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.
* Fix a crash in comparing with float (and maybe other crashes).
* They are now never equal to strings and non-integer numbers.
* Comparison with a large number no longer raises OverflowError.
* Arbitrary exceptions no longer silenced in constructors and comparisons.
* TypeError raised in the constructor contains now the name of the type.
* Accept only ChannelID and int-like objects in channel functions.
* Accept only InterpreterId, int-like objects and str in the InterpreterId constructor.
* Accept int-like objects, not just int in interpreter related functions.
All call sites pass NULL for `recode_encoding`, so this path is
completely untested. That's been true since before Python 3.0.
It adds significant complexity to this logic, so it's best to
take it out.
All call sites now have a literal NULL, and that's been true since
commit 768921cf3 eliminated a conditional (`foo ? bar : NULL`) at
the call site in Python/ast.c where we're parsing a bytes literal.
But even before then, that condition `foo` had been a constant
since unadorned string literals started meaning Unicode, in commit
572dbf8f1 aka v3.0a1~1035 .
The `unicode` parameter is already unused, so mark it as unused too.
The code that acted on it was also taken out before Python 3.0, in
commit 8d30cc014 aka v3.0a1~1031 .
The function (PyBytes_DecodeEscape) is exposed in the API, but it's
never been documented.
bpo-37151: remove special case for PyCFunction from PyObject_Call
Alse, make the undocumented function PyCFunction_Call an alias
of PyObject_Call and deprecate it.
The instance destructor for a type is responsible for preparing
an instance for deallocation by decrementing the reference counts
of its referents.
If an instance belongs to a heap type, the type object of an instance
has its reference count decremented while for static types, which
are permanently allocated, the type object is unaffected by the
instance destructor.
Previously, the default instance destructor searched the class
hierarchy for an inherited instance destructor and, if present,
would invoke it.
Then, if the instance type is a heap type, it would decrement the
reference count of that heap type. However, this could result in the
premature destruction of a type because the inherited instance
destructor should have already decremented the reference count
of the type object.
This change avoids the premature destruction of the type object
by suppressing the decrement of its reference count when an
inherited, non-default instance destructor has been invoked.
Finally, an assertion on the Py_SIZE of a type was deleted. Heap
types have a non zero size, making this into an incorrect assertion.

This is the sort of `goto` that requires the reader to stare hard at
the code to unpick what it's doing.
On doing so, the answer is... not very much!
* It jumps from the bottom of the loop to almost the top; the effect
is to bypass the loop condition `s < end` and also the
`if`-condition `*s != '\\'`, acting as if both are true.
* We've just decremented `s`, after incrementing it in the `switch`
condition. So it has the same value as when `s == end` failed.
Before that was another increment... and before that we had
`s < end`. So `s < end` true, then increment, then `s == end`
false... that means `s < end` is still true.
* Also this means `s` points to the same character as it did for the
`switch` condition. And there was a `case '\\'`, which we didn't
hit -- so `*s != '\\'` is also true.
* That means this has no effect on the behavior! The most it might do
is an optimization -- we get to skip those two checks, because (as
just proven above) we know they're true.
* But gosh, this is the *invalid escape sequence* path. This does not
seem like the kind of code path that calls for extreme optimization
tricks.
So, take the `goto` and the label out.
Perhaps the compiler will notice the exact same facts we showed above,
and generate identical code. Or perhaps it won't! That'll be OK.
But then, crucially, if some future edit to this loop causes the
reasoning above to *stop* holding true... the compiler will adjust
this jump accordingly. One of us fallible humans might not.
* Use the 'p' format unit instead of manually called PyObject_IsTrue().
* Pass boolean value instead 0/1 integers to functions that needs boolean.
* Convert some arguments to boolean only once.
- drop TargetScopeError in favour of raising SyntaxError directly
as per the updated PEP 572
- comprehension iteration variables are explicitly local, but
named expression targets in comprehensions are nonlocal or
global. Raise SyntaxError as specified in PEP 572
- named expression targets in the outermost iterable of a
comprehension have an ambiguous target scope. Avoid resolving
that question now by raising SyntaxError. PEP 572
originally required this only for cases where the bound name
conflicts with the iteration variable in the comprehension,
but CPython can't easily restrict the exception to that case
(as it doesn't know the target variable names when visiting
the outermost iterator expression)
pymalloc_alloc() now returns directly the pointer, return NULL on
memory allocation error.
allocate_from_new_pool() already uses NULL as marker for "allocation
failed".
The fact that keyword names are strings is now part of the vectorcall and `METH_FASTCALL` protocols. The biggest concrete change is that `_PyStack_UnpackDict` now checks that and raises `TypeError` if not.

PyObject_Malloc() and PyObject_Free() inlines pymalloc_alloc and
pymalloc_free partially.
But when PGO is not used, compiler don't know where is the hot part
in pymalloc_alloc and pymalloc_free.
Keeping an account of allocated blocks slows down _PyObject_Malloc()
and _PyObject_Free() by a measureable amount. Have
_Py_GetAllocatedBlocks() iterate over the arenas to sum up the
allocated blocks for pymalloc.
In development mode and in debug build, encoding and errors arguments
are now checked on string encoding and decoding operations. Examples:
open(), str.encode() and bytes.decode().
By default, for best performances, the errors argument is only
checked at the first encoding/decoding error, and the encoding
argument is sometimes ignored for empty strings.
* The UTF-8 incremental decoders fails now fast if encounter
a sequence that can't be handled by the error handler.
* The UTF-16 incremental decoders with the surrogatepass error
handler decodes now a lone low surrogate with final=False.
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.
GH-14039: allow (no more than) one wholly empty arena on the usable_arenas list.
This prevents thrashing in some easily-provoked simple cases that could end up creating and destroying an arena on each loop iteration in client code. Intuitively, if the only arena on the list becomes empty, it makes scant sense to give it back to the system unless we know we'll never need another free pool again before another arena frees a pool. If the latter obtains, then - yes - this will "waste" an arena.
When inheriting a heap subclass from a vectorcall class that sets
`.tp_call=PyVectorcall_Call` (as recommended in PEP 590), the subclass does
not inherit `_Py_TPFLAGS_HAVE_VECTORCALL`, and thus `PyVectorcall_Call` does
not work for it.
This attempts to solve the issue by:
* always inheriting `tp_vectorcall_offset` unless `tp_call` is overridden
in the subclass
* inheriting _Py_TPFLAGS_HAVE_VECTORCALL for static types, unless `tp_call`
is overridden
* making `PyVectorcall_Call` ignore `_Py_TPFLAGS_HAVE_VECTORCALL`
This means it'll be ever more important to only call `PyVectorcall_Call`
on classes that support vectorcall. In `PyVectorcall_Call`'s intended role
as `tp_call` filler, that's not a problem.
This adds a vector of "search fingers" so that usable_arenas can be kept in sorted order (by number of free pools) via constant-time operations instead of linear search.
This should reduce worst-case time for reclaiming a great many objects from O(A**2) to O(A), where A is the number of arenas. See bpo-37029.
It is now allowed to add new fields at the end of the PyTypeObject struct without having to allocate a dedicated compatibility flag in tp_flags.
This will reduce the risk of running out of bits in the 32-bit tp_flags value.
* bpo-22385: Support output separators in hex methods.
Also in binascii.hexlify aka b2a_hex.
The underlying implementation behind all hex generation in CPython uses the
same pystrhex.c implementation. This adds support to bytes, bytearray,
and memoryview objects.
The binascii module functions exist rather than being slated for deprecation
because they return bytes rather than requiring an intermediate step through a
str object.
This change was inspired by MicroPython which supports sep in its binascii
implementation (and does not yet support the .hex methods).

speedup.

The actual overflow can never happen because of the following:
* The size of a list can't be greater than PY_SSIZE_T_MAX / sizeof(PyObject*).
* The size of a pointer on all supported plaftorms is at least 4 bytes.
* ofs is positive and less than the list size at the beginning of each iteration.

* _PyInitError_Error()
* _PyInitError_NoMemory()
* _PyInitError_Exit()
* _PyInitError_IsError()

* _PyInitError_Failed()
* frozenmain.c and _testembed.c now use functions rather than macros.
* Move _Py_INIT_xxx() macros to the internal API.
* Move _PyWstrList_INIT macro to the internal API.
* Add PyMemAllocatorName enum
* _PyPreConfig.allocator type becomes PyMemAllocatorName, instead of
char*
* Remove _PyPreConfig_Clear()
* Add _PyMem_GetAllocatorName()
* Rename _PyMem_GetAllocatorsName() to
_PyMem_GetCurrentAllocatorName()
* Remove _PyPreConfig_SetAllocator(): just call
_PyMem_SetupAllocators() directly, we don't have do reallocate the
configuration with the new allocator anymore!
* _PyPreConfig_Write() parameter becomes const, as it should be in
the first place!
The final addition (cur += step) may overflow, so use size_t for "cur".
"cur" is always positive (even for negative steps), so it is safe to use
size_t here.

Omit serialno field from debug hooks on Python memory allocators to
reduce the memory footprint by 5%.
Enable tracemalloc to get the traceback where a memory block has been
allocated when a fatal memory error is logged to decide where to put
a breakpoint.
Compile Python with PYMEM_DEBUG_SERIALNO defined to get back the
field.
Add a new _PyObject_CheckConsistency() function which can be used to
help debugging. The function is available in release mode.
Add a 'check_content' parameter to _PyDict_CheckConsistency().
Modify CLEANBYTE, DEADDYTE and FORBIDDENBYTE constants: use 0xCD,
0xDD and 0xFD, rather than 0xCB, 0xBB and 0xFB, to use the same byte
patterns than Windows CRT debug malloc() and free().
Replace _PyMem_IsFreed() function with _PyMem_IsPtrFreed() inline
function. The function is now way more efficient, it became a simple
comparison on integers, rather than a short loop. It detects also
uninitialized bytes and "forbidden bytes" filled by debug hooks
on memory allocators.
Add unit tests on _PyObject_IsFreed().
No longer limit repr(structseq) to 512 bytes. Use _PyUnicodeWriter
for better performance and to write directly Unicode rather than
encoding repr() value to UTF-8 and then decoding from UTF-8.
When Python is compiled with Valgrind support, release Unicode
interned strings at exit in _PyUnicode_Fini().
* Rename _Py_ReleaseInternedUnicodeStrings() to
unicode_release_interned() and make it private.
* unicode_release_interned() is now called from _PyUnicode_Fini():
it must be called with a running Python thread state for TRASHCAN,
it cannot be called from pymain_free().
* Don't display statistics on interned strings at exit anymore
Python initialization now fails if decoding pybuilddir.txt
configuration file fails at startup.
_PyPathConfig_Calculate() now reports memory allocation failure and
