``local.getlocale(locale.LC_CTYPE)`` and
``locale.getpreferredencoding(False)`` may give different answers
in some cases (such as the ``en_IN`` locale).
``re.LOCALE`` uses the latter, so update the test case to match.
test_unraisable() of test_exceptions expects that PyErr_WriteUnraisable(method)
fails on repr(method).
Before the previous change (7b8df4a5d81d), slot_tp_finalize() called
PyErr_WriteUnraisable() with a PyMethodObject. In this case, repr(method) calls
repr(self) which is BrokenRepr.__repr__() and the calls raises a new exception.
After the previous change, slot_tp_finalize() uses an unbound method: repr() is
called on a regular __del__() method which doesn't call repr(self). repr()
doesn't fail anymore.
PyErr_WriteUnraisable() doesn't call __repr__() anymore, so remove BrokenRepr
unit test.
Issue #29362: Catch a crash of a worker process as a normal failure and
continue to run next tests. It allows to get the usual test summary: single
line result (OK/FAIL), total duration, etc.
Issue #29300: Rename struct.unpack() second parameter from "inputstr" to
"buffer", and use the Py_buffer type.
Fix also unit tests on struct.unpack() which passed a Unicode string instead of
a bytes string as struct.unpack() second parameter. The purpose of
test_trailing_counter() is to test invalid format strings, not to test the
buffer parameter.
* The struct module now requires contiguous buffers.
* Convert most functions and methods of the _struct module to Argument Clinic
* Use "Py_buffer" type for the "buffer" argument. Argument Clinic is
responsible to create and release the Py_buffer object.
* Use "PyStructObject *" type for self to avoid explicit conversions.
* Add an unit test on the _struct.Struct.unpack_from() method to test passing
arguments as keywords.
* Rephrase docstrings.
* Rename "fmt" argument to "format" in docstrings and the documentation.
As a side effect, functions and methods which used METH_VARARGS calling
convention like struct.pack() now use the METH_FASTCALL calling convention
which avoids the creation of temporary tuple to pass positional arguments and
so is faster. For example, struct.pack("i", 1) becomes 1.56x faster (-36%)::
$ ./python -m perf timeit \
-s 'import struct; pack=struct.pack' 'pack("i", 1)' \
--compare-to=../default-ref/python
Median +- std dev: 119 ns +- 1 ns -> 76.8 ns +- 0.4 ns: 1.56x faster (-36%)
Significant (t=295.91)
Patch co-written with Serhiy Storchaka.
