display invalid strings. Such strings can be found while Python is creating a
new string, in a text decoder for example, when Python is compiled in debug
mode.
The gdb hooks for debugging CPython (within Tools/gdb) have
been enhanced to show information on more C frames relevant to CPython within
the "py-bt" and "py-bt-full" commands:
* C frames that are waiting on the GIL
* C frames that are garbage-collecting
* C frames that are due to the invocation of a PyCFunction
traceback if Python is optimized.
* delay the lookup of the size_t type, it is not available at startup
* The second argument of the PyFrameObjectPtr constructor is optional, as
done in other constructors
* iter_builtins() and iter_globals() methods of PyFrameObjectPtr returns
an empty tuple instead of None if Python is optimized
* Fix py-bt to handle correctly "optimized" frames
* Frame.get_pyop() tries to get the frame pointer from PyEval_EvalCodeEx()
if the pointer is optimized out in PyEval_EvalFrameEx()
traceback if Python is optimized.

Issue #9188: The gdb extension now handles correctly narrow (UCS2) as well
as wide (UCS4) unicode builds for both the host interpreter (embedded
inside gdb) and the interpreter under test.
........

Add a safety limit to the number of unicode characters we fetch
(followup to r84635, suggested by Dave Malcolm).
........
Encode unicode strings to the terminal encoding with backslashreplace error (as
Python does for sys.stderr) before writing them to sys.stdout. It fixes
UnicodeEncodeError on writing non-ascii characters in an ascii terminal (C
locale: ASCII encoding).
Forward port some code from Python3:
* join surrogate pairs if sizeof(Py_UNICODE)==2
* Enable non-BMP test on narrow builds using u"\U0001D121" instead of
unichr(0x1D121)
* Escape non printable characters (use locale.getpreferredencoding())
* Fix support of surrogate pairs
* test_gdb.py: use ascii() instead of repr() in gdb program arguments to avoid
encoding issues
* Fix test_strings() of test_gdb.py for encoding different than UTF-8
(eg. ACSII)

Ensure that the gdb hooks can be installed when
srcdir != builddir.
Without this patch it is no longer possible to
build python when you don't run configure from
the root of the source tree.
