This makes macOS gdbm provided by Homebrew not segfault through correct
selection of the linked library (-lgdbm_compat) *AND* the correct ndbm-style
header (gdbm-ndbm.h instead of the invalid ndbm.h).
It was initially added to support atomic groups, but that
support was never fully implemented, and CALL was only left
in the compiler, but not interpreter and parser.
ATOMIC_GROUP is now used to support atomic groups.
Just in case there is ever an issue with _posixsubprocess's use of
vfork() due to the complexity of using it properly and potential
directions that Linux platforms where it defaults to on could take, this
adds a failsafe so that users can disable its use entirely by setting
a global flag.
No known reason to disable it exists. But it'd be a shame to encounter
one and not be able to use CPython without patching and rebuilding it.
See the linked issue for some discussion on reasoning.
Also documents the existing way to disable posix_spawn.
Fix signal.NSIG value on FreeBSD to accept signal numbers greater
than 32, like signal.SIGRTMIN and signal.SIGRTMAX.
* Add Py_NSIG constant.
* Add pycore_signal.h internal header file.
* _Py_Sigset_Converter() now includes the range of valid signals in
the error message.
In the limited C API version 3.11 and newer, the following functions
no longer cast their object pointer argument with _PyObject_CAST() or
_PyObject_CAST_CONST():
* Py_REFCNT(), Py_TYPE(), Py_SIZE()
* Py_SET_REFCNT(), Py_SET_TYPE(), Py_SET_SIZE()
* Py_IS_TYPE()
* Py_INCREF(), Py_DECREF()
* Py_XINCREF(), Py_XDECREF()
* Py_NewRef(), Py_XNewRef()
* PyObject_TypeCheck()
* PyType_Check()
* PyType_CheckExact()
Split Py_DECREF() implementation in 3 versions to make the code more
readable.
Update the xxlimited.c extension, which uses the limited C API
version 3.11, to pass PyObject* to these functions.
Python 3.11 now uses C11 standard which adds static_assert()
to <assert.h>.
* In pytime.c, replace Py_BUILD_ASSERT() with preprocessor checks on
SIZEOF_TIME_T with #error.
* On macOS, py_mach_timebase_info() now accepts timebase members with
the same size than _PyTime_t.
* py_get_monotonic_clock() now saturates GetTickCount64() to
_PyTime_MAX: GetTickCount64() is unsigned, whereas _PyTime_t is
signed.
`TextIOWrapper.__init__()` called `os.device_encoding(file.fileno())` if fileno is 0-2 and encoding=None.
But it is very rarely works, and never documented behavior.
Limit the maximum capturing group to 2**30-1 on 64-bit platforms
(it was 2**31-1). No change on 32-bit platforms (2**28-1).
It allows to reduce the size of SRE(match_context):
- On 32 bit platform: 36 bytes, no change. (msvc2022)
- On 64 bit platform: 72 bytes -> 56 bytes. (msvc2022/gcc9.4)
which leads to increasing the depth of backtracking.
Unless sqlite3_blob_open() returns SQLITE_MISUSE, the error code and
message are available on the connection object. This means we have to
handle SQLITE_MISUSE error messages explicitly.
* Move the code for generating Modules/_sre/sre_constants.h from
Lib/re/_constants.py into a separate script
Tools/scripts/generate_sre_constants.py.
* Add target `regen-sre` in the makefile.
* Make target `regen-all` depending on `regen-sre`.
