kB (*kilo* byte) unit means 1000 bytes, whereas KiB ("kibibyte")
means 1024 bytes. KB was misused: replace kB or KB with KiB when
appropriate.
Same change for MB and GB which become MiB and GiB.
Change the output of Tools/iobench/iobench.py.
Round also the size of the documentation from 5.5 MB to 5 MiB.
Based on patch by Victor Stinner.
Add private C API function _PyUnicode_AsUnicode() which is similar to
PyUnicode_AsUnicode(), but checks for null characters.
Issue #27057: Fix os.set_inheritable() on Android, ioctl() is blocked by
SELinux and fails with EACCESS. The function now falls back to fcntl().
Patch written by Michał Bednarski.
Issue #26770: set_inheritable() avoids calling fcntl() twice if the FD_CLOEXEC
is already set/cleared. This change only impacts platforms using the fcntl()
implementation of set_inheritable() (not Linux nor Windows).
Issue #10915, #15751, #26558:
* PyGILState_Check() now returns 1 (success) before the creation of the GIL and
after the destruction of the GIL. It allows to use the function early in
Python initialization and late in Python finalization.
* Add a flag to disable PyGILState_Check(). Disable PyGILState_Check() when
Py_NewInterpreter() is called
* Add assert(PyGILState_Check()) to: _Py_dup(), _Py_fstat(), _Py_read()
and _Py_write()
I expected more users of _Py_wstat(), but in practice it's only used by
Modules/getpath.c. Move the function because it's not needed on Windows.
Windows uses PC/getpathp.c which uses the Win32 API (ex: GetFileAttributesW())
not the POSIX API.
