Add a new Py_TPFLAGS_DISALLOW_INSTANTIATION type flag to disallow
creating type instances: set tp_new to NULL and don't create the
"__new__" key in the type dictionary.
The flag is set automatically on static types if tp_base is NULL or
&PyBaseObject_Type and tp_new is NULL.
Use the flag on the following types:
* _curses.ncurses_version type
* _curses_panel.panel
* _tkinter.Tcl_Obj
* _tkinter.tkapp
* _tkinter.tktimertoken
* _xxsubinterpretersmodule.ChannelID
* sys.flags type
* sys.getwindowsversion() type
* sys.version_info type
Update MyStr example in the C API documentation to use
Py_TPFLAGS_DISALLOW_INSTANTIATION.
Add _PyStructSequence_InitType() function to create a structseq type
with the Py_TPFLAGS_DISALLOW_INSTANTIATION flag set.
type_new() calls _PyType_CheckConsistency() at exit.
Reorganize pycore_interp_init() to initialize singletons before the
the first PyType_Ready() call. Fix an issue when Python is configured
using --without-doc-strings.
No longer use deprecated aliases to functions:
* Replace PyMem_MALLOC() with PyMem_Malloc()
* Replace PyMem_REALLOC() with PyMem_Realloc()
* Replace PyMem_FREE() with PyMem_Free()
* Replace PyMem_Del() with PyMem_Free()
* Replace PyMem_DEL() with PyMem_Free()
Modify also the PyMem_DEL() macro to use directly PyMem_Free().
These functions are considered not safe because they suppress all internal errors
and can return wrong result. PyDict_GetItemString and _PyDict_GetItemId can
also silence current exception in rare cases.
Remove no longer used _PyDict_GetItemId.
Add _PyDict_ContainsId and rename _PyDict_Contains into
_PyDict_Contains_KnownHash.
Use _PyType_HasFeature() in the _io module and in structseq
implementation. Replace PyType_HasFeature() opaque function call with
_PyType_HasFeature() inlined function.
In ArgumentClinic, value "NULL" should now be used only for unrepresentable default values
(like in the optional third parameter of getattr). "None" should be used if None is accepted
as argument and passing None has the same effect as not passing the argument at all.
No longer limit repr(structseq) to 512 bytes. Use _PyUnicodeWriter
for better performance and to write directly Unicode rather than
encoding repr() value to UTF-8 and then decoding from UTF-8.
Replace strncpy() with memcpy() in structseq_repr() to fix the
following compiler warning:
Objects/structseq.c:187:5: warning: 'strncpy' specified bound depends on the length of the source argument [-Wstringop-overflow=]
strncpy(pbuf, typ->tp_name, len);
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Objects/structseq.c:185:11: note: length computed here
len = strlen(typ->tp_name) > TYPE_MAXSIZE ? TYPE_MAXSIZE :
The function writes the terminating NUL byte later.
PyTuple_Pack can fail and return NULL. If this happens, then PyType_FromSpecWithBases will incorrectly create a new type without bases. Also, it will crash on the Py_DECREF that follows. Also free members and type in error conditions.
METH_NOARGS functions need only a single argument but they are cast
into a PyCFunction, which takes two arguments. This triggers an
invalid function cast warning in gcc8 due to the argument mismatch.
Fix this by adding a dummy unused argument.
PyStructSequence_InitType() except that it has a return value (0 on success,
-1 on error).
* PyStructSequence_InitType2() now raises MemoryError on memory allocation failure
* Fix also some calls to PyDict_SetItemString(): handle error
_PyDict_GetItemId() is more efficient: it only builds the Unicode string once.
Identifiers (dictionary keys) are now created at Python initialization, and if
the creation failed, Python does exit with a fatal error.
Before, PyDict_GetItemString() failure was not handled: structseq_new() could
call PyObject_GC_NewVar() with a negative size, and structseq_dealloc() could
also crash.
