Reference siphash takes the keys as a bytes, so it makes sense to byte swap
when reifying the keys as 64-bit integers. However, Python's siphash takes host
integers in to start with.
Python now supports checking bytecode cache up-to-dateness with a hash of the
source contents rather than volatile source metadata. See the PEP for details.
While a fairly straightforward idea, quite a lot of code had to be modified due
to the pervasiveness of pyc implementation details in the codebase. Changes in
this commit include:
- The core changes to importlib to understand how to read, validate, and
regenerate hash-based pycs.
- Support for generating hash-based pycs in py_compile and compileall.
- Modifications to our siphash implementation to support passing a custom
key. We then expose it to importlib through _imp.
- Updates to all places in the interpreter, standard library, and tests that
manually generate or parse pyc files to grok the new format.
- Support in the interpreter command line code for long options like
--check-hash-based-pycs.
- Tests and documentation for all of the above.
PyImport_ExtendInittab() now uses PyMem_RawRealloc() rather than
PyMem_Realloc(). PyImport_ExtendInittab() can be called before
Py_Initialize() whereas only the PyMem_Raw allocator is supposed to
be used before Py_Initialize().
Add _PyImport_Fini2() to release the memory allocated by
PyImport_ExtendInittab() at exit. PyImport_ExtendInittab() now forces
the usage of the default raw allocator, to be able to release memory
in _PyImport_Fini2().
Don't export these functions anymore to be C API, only to
Py_BUILD_CORE:
* _PyExc_Fini()
* _PyImport_Fini()
* _PyGC_DumpShutdownStats()
* _PyGC_Fini()
* _PyType_Fini()
* _Py_HashRandomization_Fini()
* Py_Main() now starts by reading Py_xxx configuration variables to
only work on its own private structure, and then later writes back
the configuration into these variables.
* Replace Py_GETENV() with pymain_get_env_var() which ignores empty
variables.
* Add _PyCoreConfig.dump_refs
* Add _PyCoreConfig.malloc_stats
* _PyObject_DebugMallocStats() is now responsible to check if debug
hooks are installed. The function returns 1 if stats were written,
or 0 if the hooks are disabled. Mark _PyMem_PymallocEnabled() as
static.
* Simplify _PyCoreConfig_INIT, _PyMainInterpreterConfig_INIT,
_PyPathConfig_INIT macros: no need to set fields to 0/NULL, it's
redundant (the C language sets them to 0/NULL for us).
* Fix typo: pymain_run_statup() => pymain_run_startup()
* Remove a few XXX/TODO
Add import_find_and_load() helper function. The addition of
the importtime option has made PyImport_ImportModuleLevelObject() large
and so using a helper seems worthwhile. It also makes it clearer that
abs_name is the only argument needed by _find_and_load().
Previously, CO_NOFREE was set in the compiler, which meant
it could end up being set incorrectly when code objects
were created directly. Setting it in the constructor based
on freevars and cellvars ensures it is always accurate,
regardless of how the code object is defined.
_PyPathConfig_Init() now also initialize home and program_name:
* Rename existing _PyPathConfig_Init() to _PyPathConfig_Calculate().
Add a new _PyPathConfig_Init() function in pathconfig.c which
handles the _Py_path_config variable and call
_PyPathConfig_Calculate().
* Add home and program_name fields to _PyPathConfig.home
* _PyPathConfig_Init() now initialize home and program_name
from main_config
* Py_SetProgramName(), Py_SetPythonHome() and Py_GetPythonHome() now
calls Py_FatalError() on failure, instead of silently ignoring
failures.
* config_init_home() now gets directly _Py_path_config.home to only
get the value set by Py_SetPythonHome(), or NULL if
Py_SetPythonHome() was not called.
* config_get_program_name() now gets directly
_Py_path_config.program_name to only get the value set by
Py_SetProgramName(), or NULL if Py_SetProgramName() was not called.
* pymain_init_python() doesn't call Py_SetProgramName() anymore,
_PyPathConfig_Init() now always sets the program name
* Call _PyMainInterpreterConfig_Read() in
pymain_parse_cmdline_envvars_impl() to control the memory allocator
* C API documentation: it's no more safe to call Py_GetProgramName()
before Py_Initialize().
* Factorize code from PC/getpathp.c and Modules/getpath.c to remove
duplicated code
* rename pathconfig_clear() to _PyPathConfig_Clear()
* Inline _PyPathConfig_Fini() in pymain_impl() and then remove it,
since it's a oneliner
Changes:
* _PyPathConfig_Fini() cannot be called in Py_FinalizeEx().
Py_Initialize() and Py_Finalize() can be called multiple times, but
it must not "forget" parameters set by Py_SetProgramName(),
Py_SetPath() or Py_SetPythonHome(), whereas _PyPathConfig_Fini()
clear all these parameters.
* config_get_program_name() and calculate_program_full_path() now
also decode paths using Py_DecodeLocale() to use the
surrogateescape error handler, rather than decoding using
mbstowcs() which is strict.
* Change _Py_CheckPython3() prototype: () => (void)
* Truncate a few lines which were too long
The current behaviour of yield expressions inside comprehensions and
generator expressions is essentially an accident of implementation - it
arises implicitly from the way the compiler handles yield expressions inside
nested functions and generators.
Since the current behaviour wasn't deliberately designed, and is inherently
confusing, we're deprecating it, with no current plans to reintroduce it.
Instead, our advice will be to use a named nested generator definition
for cases where this behaviour is desired.
When PyGILState_Ensure() is called in a non-Python thread before
PyEval_InitThreads(), only call PyEval_InitThreads() after calling
PyThreadState_New() to fix a crash.
Add an unit test in test_embed.
_Py_InitializeEx_Private() now calls
_PyMainInterpreterConfig_ReadEnv() to read environment variables
PYTHONHOME and PYTHONPATH, and set the program name.
* bpo-32101: Add sys.flags.dev_mode flag
Rename also the "Developer mode" to the "Development mode".
* bpo-32101: Add PYTHONDEVMODE environment variable
Mention it in the development chapiter.
* Fix _PyMem_SetupAllocators("debug"): always restore allocators to
the defaults, rather than only caling _PyMem_SetupDebugHooks().
* Add _PyMem_SetDefaultAllocator() helper to set the "default"
allocator.
* Add _PyMem_GetAllocatorsName(): get the name of the allocators
* main() now uses debug hooks on memory allocators if Py_DEBUG is
defined, rather than calling directly malloc()
* Document default memory allocators in C API documentation
* _Py_InitializeCore() now fails with a fatal user error if
PYTHONMALLOC value is an unknown memory allocator, instead of
failing with a fatal internal error.
* Add new tests on the PYTHONMALLOC environment variable
* Add support.with_pymalloc()
* Add the _testcapi.WITH_PYMALLOC constant and expose it as
support.with_pymalloc().
* sysconfig.get_config_var('WITH_PYMALLOC') doesn't work on Windows, so
replace it with support.with_pymalloc().
* pythoninfo: add _testcapi collector for pymem
The warnings module doesn't leak memory anymore in the hidden
warnings registry for the "ignore" action of warnings filters.
The warn_explicit() function doesn't add the warning key to the
registry anymore for the "ignore" action.
