When I added _PyInterpreterState_IsRunningMain() and friends last year, I tried to accommodate applications that embed Python but don't call _PyInterpreterState_SetRunningMain() (not that they're expected to). That mostly worked fine until my recent changes in gh-117049, where the subtleties with the fallback code led to failures; the change ended up breaking test_tools.test_freeze, which exercises a basic embedding situation.
The simplest fix is to drop the fallback code I originally added to _PyInterpreterState_IsRunningMain() (and later to _PyThreadState_IsRunningMain()). I've kept the fallback in the _xxsubinterpreters module though. I've also updated Py_FrozenMain() to call _PyInterpreterState_SetRunningMain().
* Remove unused <locale.h> includes.
* Remove unused <fcntl.h> include in traceback.h.
* Remove redundant <assert.h> and <stddef.h> includes. They are already
included by "Python.h".
* Remove <object.h> include in faulthandler.c. Python.h already includes it.
* Add missing <stdbool.h> in pycore_pythread.h if HAVE_PTHREAD_STUBS
is defined.
* Fix also warnings in pthread_stubs.h: don't redefine macros if they
are already defined, like the __NEED_pthread_t macro.
Remove private _PyThreadState and _PyInterpreterState C API
functions: move them to the internal C API (pycore_pystate.h and
pycore_interp.h). Don't export most of these functions anymore, but
still export functions used by tests.
Remove _PyThreadState_Prealloc() and _PyThreadState_Init() from the C
API, but keep it in the stable API.
Moreover, Py_FrozenMain() relies on Py_InitializeFromConfig() to
handle the PYTHONUNBUFFERED environment variable and configure C
stdio streams like stdout (make the stream unbuffered).
For now, we'll rely on the fact that the config structures aren't covered by the stable ABI.
We may revisit this in the future if we further explore the idea of offering a stable embedding API.
(cherry picked from commit bdace21b76)
Add a new struct_size field to PyPreConfig and PyConfig structures to
allow to modify these structures in the future without breaking the
backward compatibility.
* Replace private _config_version field with public struct_size field
in PyPreConfig and PyConfig.
* Public PyPreConfig_InitIsolatedConfig() and
PyPreConfig_InitPythonConfig()
return type becomes PyStatus, instead of void.
* Internal _PyConfig_InitCompatConfig(),
_PyPreConfig_InitCompatConfig(), _PyPreConfig_InitFromConfig(),
_PyPreConfig_InitFromPreConfig() return type becomes PyStatus,
instead of void.
* Remove _Py_CONFIG_VERSION
* Update the Initialization Configuration documentation.
* _PyPreConfig_GetGlobalConfig() and _PyCoreConfig_GetGlobalConfig()
now do nothing if the configuration was not initialized with
_PyPreConfig_InitCompatConfig() and _PyCoreConfig_InitCompatConfig()
* Remove utf8_mode=-2 special case: use utf8_mode=-1 instead.
* Fix _PyPreConfig_InitPythonConfig():
* isolated = 0 instead of -1
* use_environment = 1 instead of -1
* Rename _PyConfig_INIT to _PyConfig_INIT_COMPAT
* Rename _PyPreConfig_Init() to _PyPreConfig_InitCompatConfig()
* Rename _PyCoreConfig_Init() to _PyCoreConfig_InitCompatConfig()
* PyInterpreterState_New() now uses _PyCoreConfig_InitPythonConfig()
as default configuration, but it's very quickly overriden anyway.
* _freeze_importlib.c uses _PyCoreConfig_SetString() to set
program_name.
* Cleanup preconfig_init_utf8_mode(): cmdline is always non-NULL.
_PyPreConfig_InitPythonConfig() and _PyCoreConfig_InitPythonConfig()
no longer inherit their values from global configuration variables.
Changes:
* _PyPreCmdline_Read() now ignores -X dev and PYTHONDEVMODE
if dev_mode is already set.
* Inline _PyPreConfig_INIT macro into _PyPreConfig_Init() function.
* Inline _PyCoreConfig_INIT macro into _PyCoreConfig_Init() function.
* Replace _PyCoreConfig_Init() with _PyCoreConfig_InitPythonConfig()
in most tests of _testembed.c.
* Replace _PyCoreConfig_Init() with _PyCoreConfig_InitIsolatedConfig()
in _freeze_importlib.c.
* Move some initialization functions from the internal
to the private API.
* Add _PyInitError functions:
* _PyInitError_Ok()
* _PyInitError_Error()
* _PyInitError_NoMemory()
* _PyInitError_Exit()
* _PyInitError_IsError()
* _PyInitError_IsExit()
* _PyInitError_Failed()
* frozenmain.c and _testembed.c now use functions rather than macros.
* Move _Py_INIT_xxx() macros to the internal API.
* Move _PyWstrList_INIT macro to the internal API.
Add new functions to get the Python interpreter behavior:
* _PyPreConfig_InitPythonConfig()
* _PyCoreConfig_InitPythonConfig()
Add new functions to get an isolated configuration:
* _PyPreConfig_InitIsolatedConfig()
* _PyCoreConfig_InitIsolatedConfig()
Replace _PyPreConfig_INIT and _PyCoreConfig_INIT with new functions
_PyPreConfig_Init() and _PyCoreConfig_Init().
_PyCoreConfig: set configure_c_stdio and parse_argv to 0 by default
to behave as Python 3.6 in the default configuration.
_PyCoreConfig_Read() no longer sets coerce_c_locale_warn to 1 if it's
equal to 0. coerce_c_locale_warn must now be set to -1 (ex: using
_PyCoreConfig_InitPythonConfig()) to enable C locale coercion
warning.
Add unit tests for _PyCoreConfig_InitPythonConfig()
and _PyCoreConfig_InitIsolatedConfig().
Changes:
* Rename _PyCoreConfig_GetCoreConfig() to _PyPreConfig_GetCoreConfig()
* Fix core_read_precmdline(): handle parse_argv=0
* Fix _Py_PreInitializeFromCoreConfig(): pass coreconfig.argv
to _Py_PreInitializeFromPyArgv(), except if parse_argv=0
* Add a private _Py_InitializeMain() function.
* Add again _PyCoreConfig._init_main.
* _Py_InitializeFromConfig() now uses _init_main to decide
if _Py_InitializeMainInterpreter() should be called.
* _PyCoreConfig: rename _frozen to pathconfig_warnings, its value is
now the opposite of Py_FrozenFlag.
* Add an unit test for _init_main=0 and _Py_InitializeMain().
* Remove _PyInitError.user_err field and _Py_INIT_USER_ERR() macro:
use _Py_INIT_ERR() instead. _Py_ExitInitError() now longer calls
abort() on error: exit with exit code 1 instead.
* Add _PyInitError._type private field.
* exitcode field type is now unsigned int on Windows.
* Rename prefix field to _func.
* Rename msg field to err_msg.
Add a new _Py_INIT_EXIT() macro to be able to exit Python with an
exitcode using _PyInitError API. Rewrite function calls by
pymain_main() to use _PyInitError.
Changes:
* Remove _PyMain.err and _PyMain.status field
* Add _Py_INIT_EXIT() macro and _PyInitError.exitcode field.
* Rename _Py_FatalInitError() to _Py_ExitInitError().
* Don't use "Python runtime" anymore to parse command line options or
to get environment variables: pymain_init() is now a strict
separation.
* Use an error message rather than "crashing" directly with
Py_FatalError(). Limit the number of calls to Py_FatalError(). It
prepares the code to handle errors more nicely later.
* Warnings options (-W, PYTHONWARNINGS) and "XOptions" (-X) are now
only added to the sys module once Python core is properly
initialized.
* _PyMain is now the well identified owner of some important strings
like: warnings options, XOptions, and the "program name". The
program name string is now properly freed at exit.
pymain_free() is now responsible to free the "command" string.
* Rename most methods in Modules/main.c to use a "pymain_" prefix to
avoid conflits and ease debug.
* Replace _Py_CommandLineDetails_INIT with memset(0)
* Reorder a lot of code to fix the initialization ordering. For
example, initializing standard streams now comes before parsing
PYTHONWARNINGS.
* Py_Main() now handles errors when adding warnings options and
XOptions.
* Add _PyMem_GetDefaultRawAllocator() private function.
* Cleanup _PyMem_Initialize(): remove useless global constants: move
them into _PyMem_Initialize().
* Call _PyRuntime_Initialize() as soon as possible:
_PyRuntime_Initialize() now returns an error message on failure.
* Add _PyInitError structure and following macros:
* _Py_INIT_OK()
* _Py_INIT_ERR(msg)
* _Py_INIT_USER_ERR(msg): "user" error, don't abort() in that case
* _Py_INIT_FAILED(err)
