* Moves the bytecode to the end of the corresponding PyCodeObject, and quickens it in-place.
* Removes the almost-always-unused co_varnames, co_freevars, and co_cellvars member caches
* _PyOpcode_Deopt is a new mapping from all opcodes to their un-quickened forms.
* _PyOpcode_InlineCacheEntries is renamed to _PyOpcode_Caches
* _Py_IncrementCountAndMaybeQuicken is renamed to _PyCode_Warmup
* _Py_Quicken is renamed to _PyCode_Quicken
* _co_quickened is renamed to _co_code_adaptive (and is now a read-only memoryview).
* Do not emit unused nonzero opargs anymore in the compiler.
Remove the private undocumented function
_PyEval_GetCoroutineOriginTrackingDepth() from the C API. Call the
public sys.get_coroutine_origin_tracking_depth() function instead.
Change the internal function
_PyEval_SetCoroutineOriginTrackingDepth():
* Remove the 'tstate' parameter;
* Add return value and raises an exception if depth is negative;
* No longer export the function: call the public
sys.set_coroutine_origin_tracking_depth() function instead.
Uniformize also function declarations in pycore_ceval.h.
Remove the following private undocumented functions from the C API:
* _PyEval_GetAsyncGenFirstiter()
* _PyEval_GetAsyncGenFinalizer()
* _PyEval_SetAsyncGenFirstiter()
* _PyEval_SetAsyncGenFinalizer()
Call the public sys.get_asyncgen_hooks() and sys.set_asyncgen_hooks()
functions instead.
Add new functions to pack and unpack C double (serialize and
deserialize):
* PyFloat_Pack2(), PyFloat_Pack4(), PyFloat_Pack8()
* PyFloat_Unpack2(), PyFloat_Unpack4(), PyFloat_Unpack8()
Document these functions and add unit tests.
Rename private functions and move them from the internal C API
to the public C API:
* _PyFloat_Pack2() => PyFloat_Pack2()
* _PyFloat_Pack4() => PyFloat_Pack4()
* _PyFloat_Pack8() => PyFloat_Pack8()
* _PyFloat_Unpack2() => PyFloat_Unpack2()
* _PyFloat_Unpack4() => PyFloat_Unpack4()
* _PyFloat_Unpack8() => PyFloat_Unpack8()
Replace the "unsigned char*" type with "char*" which is more common
and easy to use.
Add methods __typing_subst__() in TypeVar and ParamSpec.
Simplify code by using more object-oriented approach, especially
the C code for types.GenericAlias and the Python code for
collections.abc.Callable.
Rename also struct _cframe to struct _PyCFrame.
Add a comment suggesting using public functions rather than using
directly the private _PyCFrame structure.
Rename private functions (no exported), add an underscore prefix:
* PyLineTable_InitAddressRange() => _PyLineTable_InitAddressRange()
* PyLineTable_NextAddressRange() => _PyLineTable_NextAddressRange()
* PyLineTable_PreviousAddressRange() => _PyLineTable_PreviousAddressRange()
Move private functions to the internal C API:
* _PyCode_Addr2EndLine()
* _PyCode_Addr2EndOffset()
* _PyCode_Addr2Offset()
* _PyCode_InitAddressRange()
* _PyCode_InitEndAddressRange(
* _PyLineTable_InitAddressRange()
* _PyLineTable_NextAddressRange()
* _PyLineTable_PreviousAddressRange()
No longer export the following internal functions:
* _PyCode_GetVarnames()
* _PyCode_GetCellvars()
* _PyCode_GetFreevars()
* _Py_GetSpecializationStats()
Add "extern" to pycore_code.h functions to identify them more easiliy
(they are still not exported).
Remove the HAVE_PY_SET_53BIT_PRECISION macro (moved to the internal
C API).
* Move HAVE_PY_SET_53BIT_PRECISION macro to pycore_pymath.h.
* Replace PY_NO_SHORT_FLOAT_REPR macro with _PY_SHORT_FLOAT_REPR
macro which is always defined. gcc -Wundef emits a warning when
using _PY_SHORT_FLOAT_REPR but the macro is not defined, if
pycore_pymath.h include was forgotten.
Instead of manually enumerating the global strings in generate_global_objects.py, we extrapolate the list from usage of _Py_ID() and _Py_STR() in the source files.
This is partly inspired by gh-31261.

We're no longer using _Py_IDENTIFIER() (or _Py_static_string()) in any core CPython code. It is still used in a number of non-builtin stdlib modules.
The replacement is: PyUnicodeObject (not pointer) fields under _PyRuntimeState, statically initialized as part of _PyRuntime. A new _Py_GET_GLOBAL_IDENTIFIER() macro facilitates lookup of the fields (along with _Py_GET_GLOBAL_STRING() for non-identifier strings).
https://bugs.python.org/issue46541#msg411799 explains the rationale for this change.
The core of the change is in:
* (new) Include/internal/pycore_global_strings.h - the declarations for the global strings, along with the macros
* Include/internal/pycore_runtime_init.h - added the static initializers for the global strings
* Include/internal/pycore_global_objects.h - where the struct in pycore_global_strings.h is hooked into _PyRuntimeState
* Tools/scripts/generate_global_objects.py - added generation of the global string declarations and static initializers
I've also added a --check flag to generate_global_objects.py (along with make check-global-objects) to check for unused global strings. That check is added to the PR CI config.
The remainder of this change updates the core code to use _Py_GET_GLOBAL_IDENTIFIER() instead of _Py_IDENTIFIER() and the related _Py*Id functions (likewise for _Py_GET_GLOBAL_STRING() instead of _Py_static_string()). This includes adding a few functions where there wasn't already an alternative to _Py*Id(), replacing the _Py_Identifier * parameter with PyObject *.
The following are not changed (yet):
* stop using _Py_IDENTIFIER() in the stdlib modules
* (maybe) get rid of _Py_IDENTIFIER(), etc. entirely -- this may not be doable as at least one package on PyPI using this (private) API
* (maybe) intern the strings during runtime init
https://bugs.python.org/issue46541
* Add PRECALL_FUNCTION opcode.
* Move 'call shape' varaibles into struct.
* Replace CALL_NO_KW and CALL_KW with KW_NAMES and CALL instructions.
* Specialize for builtin methods taking using the METH_FASTCALL | METH_KEYWORDS protocol.
* Allow kwnames for specialized calls to builtin types.
* Specialize calls to tuple(arg) and str(arg).
Remove the PyHeapType_GET_MEMBERS() macro. It was exposed in the
public C API by mistake, it must only be used by Python internally.
Use the PyTypeObject.tp_members member instead.
Rename PyHeapType_GET_MEMBERS() to _PyHeapType_GET_MEMBERS() and move
it to the internal C API.
