This matches CPython and prevents getting stuck in REPL continuation when a
1-quote is unmatched.
Before this patch, when using the switch statement for dispatch in the VM
(not computed goto) a pending exception check was done after each opcode.
This is not necessary and this patch makes the pending exception check only
happen when explicitly requested by certain opcodes, like jump. This
improves performance of the VM by about 2.5% when using the switch.
This matches CPython behaviour on Linux: a socket that is new and not
listening or connected is considered "hung up".
Thanks to @rkojedzinszky for the initial patch, PR #3457.
This patch fixes the macro so you can pass any name in, and the macro will
make more sense if you're reading it on its own. It worked previously
because n_state is always passed in as n_state_out_var.
gcc 8.0 supports the naked attribute for x86 systems so it can now be used
here. And in fact it is necessary to use this for nlr_push because gcc 8.0
no longer generates a prelude for this function (even without the naked
attribute).
