Python now always use the ``%zu`` and ``%zd`` printf formats to
format a size_t or Py_ssize_t number. Building Python 3.12 requires a
C11 compiler, so these printf formats are now always supported.
* PyObject_Print() and _PyObject_Dump() now use the printf %zd format
to display an object reference count.
* Update PY_FORMAT_SIZE_T comment.
* Remove outdated notes about the %zd format in PyBytes_FromFormat()
and PyUnicode_FromFormat() documentations.
* configure no longer checks for the %zd format and no longer defines
PY_FORMAT_SIZE_T macro in pyconfig.h.
* pymacconfig.h no longer undefines PY_FORMAT_SIZE_T: macOS 10.4 is
no longer supported. Python 3.12 now requires macOS 10.6 (Snow
Leopard) or newer.
Also while there, clarify a few things about why we reduce the hash to 32 bits.

Update documentation of PyUnicode_DecodeFSDefault(),
PyUnicode_DecodeFSDefaultAndSize() and PyUnicode_EncodeFSDefault():
they now use the filesystem encoding and error handler of PyConfig,
Py_FileSystemDefaultEncoding and Py_FileSystemDefaultEncodeErrors
variables are no longer used.
Avoid mixing declarations and code in the C API to fix the compiler
warning: "ISO C90 forbids mixed declarations and code"
[-Werror=declaration-after-statement].
Remove the PyUnicode_InternImmortal() function and the
SSTATE_INTERNED_IMMORTAL macro.
The PyUnicode_InternImmortal() function is still exported in the
stable ABI. The function is removed from the API.
PyASCIIObject.state.interned size is now a single bit, rather than 2
bits.
Keep SSTATE_NOT_INTERNED and SSTATE_INTERNED_MORTAL macros for
backward compatibility, but no longer use them internally since the
interned member is now a single bit and so can only have two values
(interned or not interned).
Update stats of _PyUnicode_ClearInterned().
In the limited C API version 3.12, PyUnicode_KIND() is now
implemented as a static inline function. Keep the macro for the
regular C API and for the limited C API version 3.11 and older to
prevent introducing new compiler warnings.
Update _decimal.c and stringlib/eq.h for PyUnicode_KIND().
Use _Py_CAST() and _Py_STATIC_CAST() in macros wrapping static inline
functions of unicodeobject.h.
Change also the kind type from unsigned int to int: same parameter
type than PyUnicode_FromKindAndData().
The limited API version 3.11 no longer casts arguments to expected
types.
Use the PyObject* type for parameters of static inline functions:
* Py_SIZE(): same parameter type than PyObject_Size()
* PyList_GET_SIZE(), PyList_SET_ITEM(): same parameter type than
PyList_Size() and PyList_SetItem()
* PyTuple_GET_SIZE(), PyTuple_SET_ITEM(): same parameter type than
PyTuple_Size() and PyTuple_SetItem().
The limited API version 3.11 no longer casts arguments to expected
types of functions of functions:
* PyList_GET_SIZE(), PyList_SET_ITEM()
* PyTuple_GET_SIZE(), PyTuple_SET_ITEM()
* PyWeakref_GET_OBJECT()
Convert the following Unicode macros to static inline functions.
Surrogate functions:
* Py_UNICODE_IS_SURROGATE()
* Py_UNICODE_IS_HIGH_SURROGATE()
* Py_UNICODE_IS_LOW_SURROGATE()
* Py_UNICODE_HIGH_SURROGATE()
* Py_UNICODE_LOW_SURROGATE()
* Py_UNICODE_JOIN_SURROGATES()
"Is" functions:
* Py_UNICODE_ISALNUM()
* Py_UNICODE_ISSPACE()
In the implementation of these functions, the character type is now
well defined to Py_UCS4.
Convert the following macros to static inline functions:
* PyCell_GET()
* PyCell_SET()
Limited C API version 3.12 no longer casts arguments.
Fix also usage of PyCell_SET(): only delete the old value after
setting the new value.
Remove the token.h header file. There was never any public tokenizer
C API. The token.h header file was only designed to be used by Python
internals.
Move Include/token.h to Include/internal/pycore_token.h. Including
this header file now requires that the Py_BUILD_CORE macro is
defined. It no longer checks for the Py_LIMITED_API macro.
Rename functions:
* PyToken_OneChar() => _PyToken_OneChar()
* PyToken_TwoChars() => _PyToken_TwoChars()
* PyToken_ThreeChars() => _PyToken_ThreeChars()
Convert the following macros to static inline functions:
* _Py_AS_GC()
* _PyGCHead_FINALIZED(), _PyGCHead_SET_FINALIZED()
* _PyGCHead_NEXT(), _PyGCHead_SET_NEXT()
* _PyGCHead_PREV(), _PyGCHead_SET_PREV()
* _PyGC_FINALIZED(), _PyGC_SET_FINALIZED()
* _PyObject_GC_IS_TRACKED()
* _PyObject_GC_MAY_BE_TRACKED()
Add a macro wrapping the _PyObject_GC_IS_TRACKED() function to cast
the argument to PyObject*.
In C++, the _PyObject_EXTRA_INIT macro now uses nullptr, rather than
0, to initialize the _ob_next and _ob_prev members of the PyObject
structure.
Fix test_cppext failure when Python is built with
./configure --with-trace-refs.
Add the -P command line option and the PYTHONSAFEPATH environment
variable to not prepend a potentially unsafe path to sys.path.
* Add sys.flags.safe_path flag.
* Add PyConfig.safe_path member.
* Programs/_bootstrap_python.c uses config.safe_path=0.
* Update subprocess._optim_args_from_interpreter_flags() to handle
the -P command line option.
* Modules/getpath.py sets safe_path to 1 if a "._pth" file is
present.
Convert the following macros to static inline functions:
* PyCFunction_GET_CLASS()
* PyCFunction_GET_FLAGS()
* PyCFunction_GET_FUNCTION()
* PyCFunction_GET_SELF()
Limited C API version 3.11 no longer casts arguments.
Currently, calling Py_EnterRecursiveCall() and
Py_LeaveRecursiveCall() may use a function call or a static inline
function call, depending if the internal pycore_ceval.h header file
is included or not. Use a different name for the static inline
function to ensure that the static inline function is always used in
Python internals for best performance. Similar approach than
PyThreadState_GET() (function call) and _PyThreadState_GET() (static
inline function).
* Rename _Py_EnterRecursiveCall() to _Py_EnterRecursiveCallTstate()
* Rename _Py_LeaveRecursiveCall() to _Py_LeaveRecursiveCallTstate()
* pycore_ceval.h: Rename Py_EnterRecursiveCall() to
_Py_EnterRecursiveCall() and Py_LeaveRecursiveCall() and
_Py_LeaveRecursiveCall()
Fix C++ compiler warnings: "zero as null pointer constant"
(clang -Wzero-as-null-pointer-constant).
* Add the _Py_NULL macro used by static inline functions to use
nullptr in C++.
* Replace NULL with nullptr in _testcppext.cpp.
Use _Py_CAST(), _Py_STATIC_CAST() and _PyASCIIObject_CAST() in
static inline functions to fix C++ compiler warnings:
"use of old-style cast" (clang -Wold-style-cast).
test_cppext now builds the C++ test extension with -Wold-style-cast.
Convert the following macros to static inline functions:
* PyByteArray_AS_STRING()
* PyByteArray_GET_SIZE()
* PyBytes_AS_STRING()
* PyBytes_GET_SIZE()
Limited C API version 3.11 no longer casts arguments.
Add _PyBytes_CAST() and _PyByteArray_CAST() macros.
Fix C++ compiler warnings on cast macros, like _PyObject_CAST(), when
casting a constant expression to a non constant type: use
const_cast<> in C++.
* In C++, Py_SAFE_DOWNCAST() now uses static_cast<> rather than
reinterpret_cast<>.
* Add tests to the _testcppext C++ extension.
* test_cppext no longer captures stdout in verbose mode.
