Implement PyUnicode_KIND() and PyUnicode_DATA() as function, in
addition to the macros with the same names. The macros rely on C bit
fields which have compiler-specific layout.
Use relative includes in Include/cpython/pyatomic.h for
pyatomic_gcc.h, pyatomic_std.h and pyatomic_msc.h.
Do a similar change in Include/cpython/pythread.h for
pthread_stubs.h include.
This exposes `_Py_TryIncref` as `PyUnstable_TryIncref()` and the helper
function `_PyObject_SetMaybeWeakref` as `PyUnstable_EnableTryIncRef`.
These are helpers for dealing with unowned references in a safe way,
particularly in the free threading build.

- Unify `get_unicode` and `get_string` in a single function.
- Allow to retrieve the underlying `object` attribute, its
size, and the adjusted 'start' and 'end', all at once.
Add a new `_PyUnicodeError_GetParams` internal function for this.
(In `exceptions.c`, it's somewhat common to not need all the attributes,
but the compiler has opportunity to inline the function and optimize
unneeded work away. Outside that file, we'll usually need all or
most of them at once.)
- Use a common implementation for the following functions:
- `PyUnicode{Decode,Encode}Error_GetEncoding`
- `PyUnicode{Decode,Encode,Translate}Error_GetObject`
- `PyUnicode{Decode,Encode,Translate}Error_{Get,Set}Reason`
- `PyUnicode{Decode,Encode,Translate}Error_{Get,Set}{Start,End}`
Methods (functions defined in class scope) are likely to be cleaned
up by the GC anyway.
Add a new code flag, `CO_METHOD`, that is set for functions defined
in a class scope. Use that when deciding to defer functions.
The `PyWeakref_IsDead()` function tests if a weak reference is dead
without any side effects. Although you can also detect if a weak
reference is dead using `PyWeakref_GetRef()`, that function returns a
strong reference that must be `Py_DECREF()`'d, which can introduce side
effects if the last reference is concurrently dropped (at least in the
free threading build).
Adds a `use_system_log` config item to enable stdout/stderr redirection for
Apple platforms. This log streaming is then used by a new iOS test runner
script, allowing the display of test suite output at runtime. The iOS test
runner script can be used by any Python project, not just the CPython test
suite.
* Replace uses of `PyCell_GET` and `PyCell_SET`. These macros are not
safe to use in the free-threaded build. Use `PyCell_GetRef()` and
`PyCell_SetTakeRef()` instead.
* Since `PyCell_GetRef()` returns a strong rather than borrowed ref, some
code restructuring was required, e.g. `frame_get_var()` returns a strong
ref now.
* Add critical sections to `PyCell_GET` and `PyCell_SET`.
* Move critical_section.h earlier in the Python.h file.
* Add `PyCell_GET` to the free-threading howto table of APIs that return
borrowed refs.
* Add additional unit tests for free-threading.
* Mark almost all reachable objects before doing collection phase
* Add stats for objects marked
* Visit new frames before each increment
* Update docs
* Clearer calculation of work to do.
"Generally, mixed-mode arithmetic combining real and complex variables should
be performed directly, not by first coercing the real to complex, lest the sign
of zero be rendered uninformative; the same goes for combinations of pure
imaginary quantities with complex variables." (c) Kahan, W: Branch cuts for
complex elementary functions.
This patch implements mixed-mode arithmetic rules, combining real and
complex variables as specified by C standards since C99 (in particular,
there is no special version for the true division with real lhs
operand). Most C compilers implementing C99+ Annex G have only these
special rules (without support for imaginary type, which is going to be
deprecated in C2y).
* Mark almost all reachable objects before doing collection phase
* Add stats for objects marked
* Visit new frames before each increment
* Remove lazy dict tracking
* Update docs
* Clearer calculation of work to do.
Each thread specializes a thread-local copy of the bytecode, created on the first RESUME, in free-threaded builds. All copies of the bytecode for a code object are stored in the co_tlbc array on the code object. Threads reserve a globally unique index identifying its copy of the bytecode in all co_tlbc arrays at thread creation and release the index at thread destruction. The first entry in every co_tlbc array always points to the "main" copy of the bytecode that is stored at the end of the code object. This ensures that no bytecode is copied for programs that do not use threads.
Thread-local bytecode can be disabled at runtime by providing either -X tlbc=0 or PYTHON_TLBC=0. Disabling thread-local bytecode also disables specialization.
Concurrent modifications to the bytecode made by the specializing interpreter and instrumentation use atomics, with specialization taking care not to overwrite an instruction that was instrumented concurrently.
This is essentially a cleanup, moving a handful of API declarations to the header files where they fit best, creating new ones when needed.
We do the following:
* add pycore_debug_offsets.h and move _Py_DebugOffsets, etc. there
* inline struct _getargs_runtime_state and struct _gilstate_runtime_state in _PyRuntimeState
* move struct _reftracer_runtime_state to the existing pycore_object_state.h
* add pycore_audit.h and move to it _Py_AuditHookEntry , _PySys_Audit(), and _PySys_ClearAuditHooks
* add audit.h and cpython/audit.h and move the existing audit-related API there
*move the perfmap/trampoline API from cpython/sysmodule.h to cpython/ceval.h, and remove the now-empty cpython/sysmodule.h
Users want to know when the current context switches to a different
context object. Right now this happens when and only when a context
is entered or exited, so the enter and exit events are synonymous with
"switched". However, if the changes proposed for gh-99633 are
implemented, the current context will also switch for reasons other
than context enter or exit. Since users actually care about context
switches and not enter or exit, replace the enter and exit events with
a single switched event.
The former exit event was emitted just before exiting the context.
The new switched event is emitted after the context is exited to match
the semantics users expect of an event with a past-tense name. If
users need the ability to clean up before the switch takes effect,
another event type can be added in the future. It is not added here
because YAGNI.
I skipped 0 in the enum as a matter of practice. Skipping 0 makes it
easier to troubleshoot when code forgets to set zeroed memory, and it
aligns with best practices for other tools (e.g.,
https://protobuf.dev/programming-guides/dos-donts/#unspecified-enum).

Use per-thread refcounting for the reference from function objects to
their corresponding code object. This can be a source of contention when
frequently creating nested functions. Deferred refcounting alone isn't a
great fit here because these references are on the heap and may be
modified by other libraries.

* Add definitions for "context", "current context", and "context
management protocol".
* Update related definitions to be consistent with the new
definitions.
* Restructure the documentation for the `contextvars.Context` class
to prepare for adding context manager support, and for consistency
with the definitions.
* Use `testcode` and `testoutput` to test the `Context.run` example.
* Expand the documentation for the `Py_CONTEXT_EVENT_ENTER` and
`Py_CONTEXT_EVENT_EXIT` events to clarify and to prepare for
planned changes.
