According to the comment, there was previously a call to PyObject_IsSubclass() involved which could fail, but since it was replaced with a call to PyType_IsSubtype(), it can no longer fail.
Use sys.modules.get() in the "with _ModuleLockManager(name):" block
to protect the dictionary key with the module lock and use an atomic
get to prevent race condition.
Remove also _bootstrap._POPULATE since it was unused
(_bootstrap_external now has its own _POPULATE object), add a new
_SENTINEL object instead.
* Rewrite importlib _get_module_lock(): it is now responsible to hold
the imp lock directly.
* _find_and_load() now holds the module lock to check if name is in
sys.modules to prevent a race condition
* bpo-30832: Remove own implementation for thread-local storage
CPython has provided the own implementation for thread-local storage
(TLS) on Python/thread.c, it's used in the case which a platform has
not supplied native TLS. However, currently all supported platforms
(NT and pthreads) have provided native TLS and defined the
Py_HAVE_NATIVE_TLS macro with unconditional in any case.
* bpo-30832: replace NT with Windows
* bpo-30832: change to directive chain
* bpo-30832: remove comemnt which making no sense
- On some versions of FreeBSD, setting the "UTF-8" locale
succeeds, but a subsequent "nl_langinfo(CODESET)" fails
- adding a check for this in the coercion logic means that
coercion will happen on systems where this check succeeds,
and will be skipped otherwise
- that way CPython should automatically adapt to changes in
platform behaviour, rather than needing a new release to
enable coercion at build time
- this also allows UTF-8 to be re-enabled as a coercion
target, restoring the locale coercion behaviour on Mac OS X
`PYTHONFRAMEWORK` is defined in `Makefile` and it shoulnd't be used
in `pyconfig.h`.
`sysconfig.py --generate-posix-vars` reads config vars from Makefile
and `pyconfig.h`. Conflicting variables should be avoided.
Especially, string config variables in Makefile are unquoted, but
in `pyconfig.h` are keep quoted. So it should be private (starts with
underscore).
* Improve signal delivery
Avoid using Py_AddPendingCall from signal handler, to avoid calling signal-unsafe functions.
* Remove unused function
* Improve comments
* Add stress test
* Adapt for --without-threads
* Add second stress test
* Add NEWS blurb
* Address comments @haypo
