[3.7] bpo-32962: Backport python-gdb.py and test_gdb.py from master (GH-7710)
* bpo-32962: python-gdb catchs ValueError on read_var() (GH-7692)

python-gdb now catchs ValueError on read_var(): when Python has no
debug symbols for example.

(cherry picked from commit 019d33b7a4)

* bpo-32962: python-gdb catchs UnicodeDecodeError (GH-7693)

python-gdb now catchs UnicodeDecodeError exceptions when calling
string().

(cherry picked from commit d22fc0bc7d)

* bpo-32962: Fix test_gdb failure in debug build with -mcet -fcf-protection -O0 (GH-6754)

When Python is built with the intel control-flow protection flags,
-mcet -fcf-protection, gdb is not able to read the stack without
actually jumping inside the function. This means an extra
'next' command is required to make the $pc (program counter)
enter the function and make the stack of the function exposed to gdb.

(cherry picked from commit 9b7c74ca32)

README

This directory contains a number of Python programs that are useful
while building or extending Python.

buildbot        Batchfiles for running on Windows buildslaves.

ccbench         A Python threads-based concurrency benchmark. (*)

demo            Several Python programming demos.

freeze          Create a stand-alone executable from a Python program.

gdb             Python code to be run inside gdb, to make it easier to
                debug Python itself (by David Malcolm).

i18n            Tools for internationalization. pygettext.py
                parses Python source code and generates .pot files,
                and msgfmt.py generates a binary message catalog
                from a catalog in text format.

iobench         Benchmark for the new Python I/O system. (*)

msi             Support for packaging Python as an MSI package on Windows.

parser          Un-parsing tool to generate code from an AST.

pynche          A Tkinter-based color editor.

scripts         A number of useful single-file programs, e.g. tabnanny.py
                by Tim Peters, which checks for inconsistent mixing of
                tabs and spaces, and 2to3, which converts Python 2 code
                to Python 3 code.

stringbench     A suite of micro-benchmarks for various operations on
                strings (both 8-bit and unicode). (*)

test2to3        A demonstration of how to use 2to3 transparently in setup.py.

unicode         Tools for generating unicodedata and codecs from unicode.org
                and other mapping files (by Fredrik Lundh, Marc-Andre Lemburg
                and Martin von Loewis).

unittestgui     A Tkinter based GUI test runner for unittest, with test
                discovery.
