The *max* value is no longer treated as a special case in the main loop. Besides making the main loop simpler and branchless, this also lets us relax the input restriction of *vec* to contain only non-negative values.
* Add Py_UNREACHABLE() as an alias to abort().
* Use Py_UNREACHABLE() instead of assert(0)
* Convert more unreachable code to use Py_UNREACHABLE()
* Document Py_UNREACHABLE() and a few other macros.
* Implement math.remainder.
* Fix markup for arguments; use double spaces after period.
* Mark up function reference in what's new entry.
* Add comment explaining the calculation in the final branch.
* Fix out-of-order entry in whatsnew.
* Add comment explaining why it's good enough to compare m with c, in spite of possible rounding error.
* bpo-26121: Use C library implementation for math functions:
tgamma(), lgamma(), erf() and erfc().
* Don't use tgamma() and lgamma() from libc on OS X.
Issue #28858: The change b9c9691c72c5 introduced a regression. It seems like
_PyObject_CallArg1() uses more stack memory than
PyObject_CallFunctionObjArgs().
* PyObject_CallFunctionObjArgs(func, NULL) => _PyObject_CallNoArg(func)
* PyObject_CallFunctionObjArgs(func, arg, NULL) => _PyObject_CallArg1(func, arg)
PyObject_CallFunctionObjArgs() allocates 40 bytes on the C stack and requires
extra work to "parse" C arguments to build a C array of PyObject*.
_PyObject_CallNoArg() and _PyObject_CallArg1() are simpler and don't allocate
memory on the C stack.
This change is part of the fastcall project. The change on listsort() is
related to the issue #23507.
