* bpo-46541: Replace core use of _Py_IDENTIFIER() with statically initialized ↵Eric Snow2022-02-081-5/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | global objects. (gh-30928) 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
* bpo-46417: _curses uses PyStructSequence_NewType() (GH-30736)Victor Stinner2022-01-211-0/+5
| | | | | | | | The _curses module now creates its ncurses_version type as a heap type using PyStructSequence_NewType(), rather than using a static type. * Move _PyStructSequence_FiniType() definition to pycore_structseq.h. * test.pythoninfo: log curses.ncurses_version.
* bpo-46008: Make runtime-global object/type lifecycle functions and state ↵Eric Snow2021-12-091-0/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | consistent. (gh-29998) This change is strictly renames and moving code around. It helps in the following ways: * ensures type-related init functions focus strictly on one of the three aspects (state, objects, types) * passes in PyInterpreterState * to all those functions, simplifying work on moving types/objects/state to the interpreter * consistent naming conventions help make what's going on more clear * keeping API related to a type in the corresponding header file makes it more obvious where to look for it https://bugs.python.org/issue46008
* bpo-43916: Move the _PyStructSequence_InitType function to the internal API ↵Pablo Galindo2021-05-031-0/+21
