gcc -Wcast-qual turns up a number of instances of casting away constness of pointers. Some of these can be safely modified, by either:
Adding the const to the type cast, as in:
- return _PyUnicode_FromUCS1((unsigned char*)s, size);
+ return _PyUnicode_FromUCS1((const unsigned char*)s, size);
or, Removing the cast entirely, because it's not necessary (but probably was at one time), as in:
- PyDTrace_FUNCTION_ENTRY((char *)filename, (char *)funcname, lineno);
+ PyDTrace_FUNCTION_ENTRY(filename, funcname, lineno);
These changes will not change code, but they will make it much easier to check for errors in consts

Add a fast-path for UTF-8 encoding in PyUnicode_EncodeFSDefault()
and PyUnicode_DecodeFSDefaultAndSize().
Add _PyUnicode_FiniEncodings() helper function for _PyUnicode_Fini().
In the limited C API, PyObject_INIT() and PyObject_INIT_VAR() are now
defined as aliases to PyObject_Init() and PyObject_InitVar() to make
their implementation opaque. It avoids to leak implementation details
in the limited C API.
Exclude the following functions from the limited C API, move them
from object.h to cpython/object.h:
* _Py_NewReference()
* _Py_ForgetReference()
* _PyTraceMalloc_NewReference()
* _Py_GetRefTotal()
The macro is defined after Py_DECREF() and so is no longer used by
Py_DECREF().
Moving _Py_Dealloc() macro back from cpython/object.h to object.h
would require to move a lot of definitions as well: PyTypeObject and
many related types used by PyTypeObject.
Keep _Py_Dealloc() as an opaque function call to avoid leaking
implementation details in the limited C API (object.h): remove
_Py_Dealloc() macro from cpython/object.h.
_Py_NewReference() becomes a regular opaque function, rather than a
static inline function in the C API (object.h), to better hide
implementation details.
Move _Py_tracemalloc_config from public pymem.h to internal
pycore_pymem.h header.
Make _Py_AddToAllObjects() private.
Restore PyObject_IsInstance() comment explaining why only tuples of
types are accepted, but not general sequence. Comment written by
Guido van Rossum in commit 03290ecbf1
which implements isinstance(x, (A, B, ...)). The comment was lost in
a PyObject_IsInstance() optimization:
commit ec569b7947.
Cleanup also the code. recursive_isinstance() is no longer recursive,
so rename it to object_isinstance(), whereas object_isinstance() is
recursive and so rename it to object_recursive_isinstance().
* Remove _Py_INC_REFTOTAL and _Py_DEC_REFTOTAL macros: modify
directly _Py_RefTotal.
* _Py_ForgetReference() is no longer defined if the Py_TRACE_REFS
macro is not defined.
* Remove _Py_NewReference() implementation from object.c:
unify the two implementations in object.h inline function.
* Fix Py_TRACE_REFS build: _Py_INC_TPALLOCS() macro has been removed.
Replace Py_FatalError() calls with _PyErr_WriteUnraisableMsg(),
_PyObject_ASSERT_FAILED_MSG() or Py_UNREACHABLE()
in unicode_dealloc() and unicode_release_interned().
Rename init_slotdefs() to _PyTypes_InitSlotDefs() and add a return
value of type PyStatus. The function is now called exactly once from
_PyTypes_Init(). Replace calls to init_slotdefs() with an assertion
checking that slotdefs is initialized.
Replace Py_FatalError() with _PyObject_ASSERT_FAILED_MSG() in
object.c and typeobject.c to also dump the involved Python object on
a fatal error. It should ease debug when such fatal error occurs.
If the double linked list is inconsistent, _Py_ForgetReference() no
longer dumps previous and next objects in the fatal error, it now
only dumps the current object. It ensures that the error message
is displayed even if dumping the object does crash Python.
Enhance _Py_ForgetReference() error messages;
_PyObject_ASSERT_FAILED_MSG() logs the "_Py_ForgetReference" function
name.
Improve multi-threaded performance by dropping the GIL in the fast path
of bytes.join. To avoid increasing overhead for small joins, it is only
done if the output size exceeds a threshold.
intern_strings() now raises a SystemError, rather than calling
Py_FatalError().
intern_string_constants() now reports exceptions to the caller,
rather than ignoring silently exceptions.
If the export count is negative, _memory_release() now raises a
SystemError and returns -1, rather than calling Py_FatalError()
which aborts the process.
If PyModule_Create2() is called when the Python import machinery is
not initialized, it now raises a SystemError and returns NULL,
instead of calling Py_FatalError() which aborts the process.
The caller must be prepared to handle NULL anyway.
Replace int with intptr_t to fix the warning:
objects\frameobject.c(341): warning C4244: 'initializing':
conversion from '__int64' to 'int', possible loss of data
The public API symbols being removed are:
_PyBytes_InsertThousandsGroupingLocale, _PyBytes_InsertThousandsGrouping, _Py_InitializeFromArgs, _Py_InitializeFromWideArgs, _PyFloat_Repr, _PyFloat_Digits,
_PyFloat_DigitsInit, PyFrame_ExtendStack, _PyAIterWrapper_Type, PyNullImporter_Type, PyCmpWrapper_Type, PySortWrapper_Type, PyNoArgsFunction.
Each Python subinterpreter now has its own "small integer
singletons": numbers in [-5; 257] range.
It is no longer possible to change the number of small integers at
build time by overriding NSMALLNEGINTS and NSMALLPOSINTS macros:
macros should now be modified manually in pycore_pystate.h header
file.
For now, continue to share _PyLong_Zero and _PyLong_One singletons
between all subinterpreters.
Remove BEGIN_FINALLY, END_FINALLY, CALL_FINALLY and POP_FINALLY bytecodes. Implement finally blocks by code duplication.
Reimplement frame.lineno setter using line numbers rather than bytecode offsets.
Remove PyMethod_ClearFreeList() and PyCFunction_ClearFreeList()
functions: the free lists of bound method objects have been removed.
Remove also _PyMethod_Fini() and _PyCFunction_Fini() functions.
The PyFPE_START_PROTECT() and PyFPE_END_PROTECT() macros are empty:
they have been doing nothing for the last year (since commit
735ae8d139), so stop using them.
Ignore `GeneratorExit` exceptions when throwing an exception into the `aclose` coroutine of an asynchronous generator.

* Add _PyObject_VectorcallTstate() function: similar to
_PyObject_Vectorcall(), but with tstate parameter
* Add tstate parameter to _PyObject_MakeTpCall()
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:
longobject.c(420): warning C4244: 'function': conversion from
'unsigned __int64' to 'sdigit', possible loss of data
longobject.c(428): warning C4267: 'function': conversion from
'size_t' to 'sdigit', possible loss of data
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.
