* Add GCState type for readability
* gcmodule.c now gets its gcstate from tstate
* _PyGC_DumpShutdownStats() now expects tstate rather than runtime
* Rename "state" to "gcstate" for readability: to avoid confusion
between "state" and "tstate" for example.
* collect() now only expects tstate: it gets gcstate from tstate.
* Pass tstate to _PyErr_xxx() functions
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.
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.
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().
* Add _PyObject_ASSERT_FROM() and _PyObject_ASSERT_FAILED_MSG()
macros.
* PyObject_GC_Track() now calls _PyObject_ASSERT_FAILED_MSG(),
instead of Py_FatalError(), if the object is already tracked, to
dump more information on error.
* _PyObject_GC_TRACK() no longer checks if the object is already
tracked at runtime, use an assertion instead for best performances;
PyObject_GC_Track() still checks at runtime.
* pycore_object.h now includes pycore_pystate.h.
* Convert _PyObject_GC_TRACK() and _PyObject_GC_UNTRACK() macros to
inline functions.
