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.
Add a private list of all stdlib modules: _Py_module_names.
* Add Tools/scripts/generate_module_names.py script.
* Makefile: Add "make regen-module-names" command.
* setup.py: Add --list-module-names option.
* GitHub Action and Travis CI also runs "make regen-module-names",
not ony "make regen-all", to ensure that the module names remains
up to date.
The Py_FatalError() function and the faulthandler module now dump the
list of extension modules on a fatal error.
Add _Py_DumpExtensionModules() and _PyModule_IsExtension() internal
functions.
* Mark bytecodes at end of try-except as artificial.
* Make sure that the CFG is consistent throughout optimiization.
* Extend line-number propagation logic so that implicit returns after 'try-except' or 'with' have the correct line numbers.
* Update importlib
Fix the _PyUnicode_FromId() function (_Py_IDENTIFIER(var) API) when
Py_Initialize() / Py_Finalize() is called multiple times:
preserve _PyRuntime.unicode_ids.next_index value.
Use _PyRuntimeState_INIT macro instead memset(0) to reset
_PyRuntimeState members to zero.
* Add test for frame.f_lineno with/without tracing.
* Make sure that frame.f_lineno is correct regardless of whether frame.f_trace is set.
* Update importlib
* Add NEWS
Make the Unicode dictionary of interned strings compatible with
subinterpreters.
Remove the INTERN_NAME_STRINGS macro in typeobject.c: names are
always now interned (even if EXPERIMENTAL_ISOLATED_SUBINTERPRETERS
macro is defined).
_PyUnicode_ClearInterned() now uses PyDict_Next() to no longer
allocate memory, to ensure that the interned dictionary is cleared.
Make the type attribute lookup cache per-interpreter.
Add private _PyType_InitCache() function, called by PyInterpreterState_New().
Continue to share next_version_tag between interpreters, since static
types are still shared by interpreters.
Remove MCACHE macro: the cache is no longer disabled if the
EXPERIMENTAL_ISOLATED_SUBINTERPRETERS macro is defined.
