This needs a single bit, but was stored as a void* in the module
struct. This didn't matter due to packing, but now that there's
another bool in the struct, we can save a bit of memory by
making md_gil a bool.
Variables that changed type are renamed, to detect conflicts.
This PR adds the ability to enable the GIL if it was disabled at
interpreter startup, and modifies the multi-phase module initialization
path to enable the GIL when loading a module, unless that module's spec
includes a slot indicating it can run safely without the GIL.
PEP 703 called the constant for the slot `Py_mod_gil_not_used`; I went
with `Py_MOD_GIL_NOT_USED` for consistency with gh-104148.
A warning will be issued up to once per interpreter for the first
GIL-using module that is loaded. If `-v` is given, a shorter message
will be printed to stderr every time a GIL-using module is loaded
(including the first one that issues a warning).
Move private _PyModule API to the internal C API
(pycore_moduleobject.h):
* _PyModule_Clear()
* _PyModule_ClearDict()
* _PyModuleSpec_IsInitializing()
* _PyModule_IsExtension()
No longer export these functions.
finalize_modules_clear_weaklist() now holds a strong reference to the
module longer than before: replace PyWeakref_GET_OBJECT() with
_PyWeakref_GET_REF().
Add pycore_moduleobject.h internal header file with static inline
functions to access module members:
* _PyModule_GetDict()
* _PyModule_GetDef()
* _PyModule_GetState()
These functions don't check at runtime if their argument has a valid
type and can be inlined even if Python is not built with LTO.
_PyType_GetModuleByDef() uses _PyModule_GetDef().
Replace PyModule_GetState() with _PyModule_GetState() in the
extension modules, considered as performance sensitive:
* _abc
* _functools
* _operator
* _pickle
* _queue
* _random
* _sre
* _struct
* _thread
* _winapi
* array
* posix
The following extensions are now built with the Py_BUILD_CORE_MODULE
macro defined, to be able to use the internal pycore_moduleobject.h
header: _abc, array, _operator, _queue, _sre, _struct.
