On POSIX systems, excluding macOS framework installs, the lib directory
for the free-threaded build now includes a "t" suffix to avoid conflicts
with a co-located default build installation.
When builtin static types are initialized for a subinterpreter, various "tp" slots have already been inherited (for the main interpreter). This was interfering with the logic in add_operators() (in Objects/typeobject.c), causing a wrapper to get created when it shouldn't. This change fixes that by preserving the original data from the static type struct and checking that.
On heavily loaded machines, the subprocess may finish its sleep before
the parent process manages to synchronize with it via a failed lock.
This leads to errors like:
Exception: failed to sync child in 300.3 sec
Use pipes instead to mutually synchronize between parent and child.
The ProcessPoolForkserver combined with resource_tracker starts a thread
after forking, which is not supported by TSan.
Also skip test_multiprocessing_fork for the same reason
The change in gh-118157 (b2cd54a) should have also updated clear_singlephase_extension() but didn't. We fix that here. Note that clear_singlephase_extension() (AKA _PyImport_ClearExtension()) is only used in tests.
Add *preserve_metadata* keyword-only argument to `pathlib.Path.copy()`, defaulting to false. When set to true, we copy timestamps, permissions, extended attributes and flags where available, like `shutil.copystat()`. The argument has no effect on Windows, where metadata is always copied.
Internally (in the pathlib ABCs), path types gain `_readable_metadata` and `_writable_metadata` attributes. These sets of strings describe what kinds of metadata can be retrieved and stored. We take an intersection of `source._readable_metadata` and `target._writable_metadata` to minimise reads/writes. A new `_read_metadata()` method accepts a set of metadata keys and returns a dict with those keys, and a new `_write_metadata()` method accepts a dict of metadata. We *might* make these public in future, but it's hard to justify while the ABCs are still private.
Check for `ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER` when calling `_winapi.CopyFile2()` and
raise `UnsupportedOperation`. In `Path.copy()`, handle this exception and
fall back to the `PathBase.copy()` implementation.
* Move get_signal_name() from test.libregrtest to test.support.
* Use get_signal_name() in support.script_helper.
* support.script_helper now decodes stdout and stderr from UTF-8,
instead of ASCII, if a command failed.
When creating the JUnit XML file, regrtest now escapes characters
which are invalid in XML, such as the chr(27) control character used
in ANSI escape sequences.
asyncio earlier relied on subprocess module to send signals to the process, this has some drawbacks one being that subprocess module unnecessarily calls waitpid on child processes and hence it races with asyncio implementation which internally uses child watchers. To mitigate this, now asyncio sends signals directly to the process without going through the subprocess on non windows systems. On Windows it fallbacks to subprocess module handling but on windows there are no child watchers so this issue doesn't exists altogether.
In some cases, previously computed as (nan+nanj), we could
recover meaningful component values in the result, see
e.g. the C11, Annex G.5.2, routine _Cdivd().
* parse_intermixed_args() now raises ArgumentError instead of calling
error() if exit_on_error is false.
* Internal code now always raises ArgumentError instead of calling
error(). It is then caught at the higher level and error() is called if
exit_on_error is true.
On Windows, test_cext and test_cppext now pass /WX flag to the MSC
compiler to treat all compiler warnings as errors. In verbose mode,
these tests now log the compiler commands to help debugging.
Change Py_BUILD_ASSERT_EXPR implementation on Windows to avoid a
compiler warning about an unnamed structure.
