When Python is built in debug mode (with C assertions), calling a
type slot like sq_length (__len__() in Python) now fails with a fatal
error if the slot succeeded with an exception set, or failed with no
exception set. The error message contains the slot, the type name,
and the current exception (if an exception is set).
* Check the result of all slots using _Py_CheckSlotResult().
* No longer pass op_name to ternary_op() in release mode.
* Replace operator with dunder Python method name in error messages.
For example, replace "*" with "__mul__".
* Fix compiler_exit_scope() when an exception is set.
* Fix bytearray.extend() when an exception is set: don't call
bytearray_setslice() with an exception set.
* bpo-42979: Enhance abstract.c assertions checking slot result
Add _Py_CheckSlotResult() function which fails with a fatal error if
a slot function succeeded with an exception set or failed with no
exception set: write the slot name, the type name and the current
exception (if an exception is set).
Remove complex special methods __int__, __float__, __floordiv__,
__mod__, __divmod__, __rfloordiv__, __rmod__ and __rdivmod__
which always raised a TypeError.
Enable recursion checks which were disabled when get __bases__ of
non-type objects in issubclass() and isinstance() and when intern
strings. It fixes a stack overflow when getting __bases__ leads
to infinite recursion.
Originally recursion checks was disabled for PyDict_GetItem() which
silences all errors including the one raised in case of detected
recursion and can return incorrect result. But now the code uses
PyDict_GetItemWithError() and PyDict_SetDefault() instead.
Unexpected errors in calling the __iter__ method are no longer
masked by TypeError in the "in" operator and functions
operator.contains(), operator.indexOf() and operator.countOf().
Previously, the result could have been an instance of a subclass of int.
Also revert bpo-26202 and make attributes start, stop and step of the range
object having exact type int.
Add private function _PyNumber_Index() which preserves the old behavior
of PyNumber_Index() for performance to use it in the conversion functions
like PyLong_AsLong().
Always declare PyIndex_Check() as an opaque function to hide
implementation details: remove PyIndex_Check() macro. The macro
accessed directly the PyTypeObject.tp_as_number member.
Add _PyIndex_Check() function to the internal C API: fast inlined
verson of PyIndex_Check().
Add Include/internal/pycore_abstract.h header file.
Replace PyIndex_Check() with _PyIndex_Check() in C files of Objects
and Python subdirectories.
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`.
