Not comprehensive, best effort warning. There are cases when threads exist on some platforms that this code cannot detect. macOS when API permissions allow and Linux with a readable /proc procfs present are the currently supported cases where a warning should show up reliably.
Starting with a DeprecationWarning for now, it is less disruptive than something like RuntimeWarning and most likely to only be seen in people's CI tests - a good place to start with this messaging.
The Py_CLEAR(), Py_SETREF() and Py_XSETREF() macros now only evaluate
their arguments once. If an argument has side effects, these side
effects are no longer duplicated.
Use temporary variables to avoid duplicating side effects of macro
arguments. If available, use _Py_TYPEOF() to avoid type punning.
Otherwise, use memcpy() for the assignment to prevent a
miscompilation with strict aliasing caused by type punning.
Add _Py_TYPEOF() macro: __typeof__() on GCC and clang.
Add test_py_clear() and test_py_setref() unit tests to _testcapi.
The ``structmember.h`` header is deprecated, though it continues to be available
and there are no plans to remove it. There are no deprecation warnings. Old code
can stay unchanged (unless the extra include and non-namespaced macros bother
you greatly). Specifically, no uses in CPython are updated -- that would just be
unnecessary churn.
The ``structmember.h`` header is deprecated, though it continues to be
available and there are no plans to remove it.
Its contents are now available just by including ``Python.h``,
with a ``Py`` prefix added if it was missing:
- `PyMemberDef`, `PyMember_GetOne` and`PyMember_SetOne`
- Type macros like `Py_T_INT`, `Py_T_DOUBLE`, etc.
(previously ``T_INT``, ``T_DOUBLE``, etc.)
- The flags `Py_READONLY` (previously ``READONLY``) and
`Py_AUDIT_READ` (previously all uppercase)
Several items are not exposed from ``Python.h``:
- `T_OBJECT` (use `Py_T_OBJECT_EX`)
- `T_NONE` (previously undocumented, and pretty quirky)
- The macro ``WRITE_RESTRICTED`` which does nothing.
- The macros ``RESTRICTED`` and ``READ_RESTRICTED``, equivalents of
`Py_AUDIT_READ`.
- In some configurations, ``<stddef.h>`` is not included from ``Python.h``.
It should be included manually when using ``offsetof()``.
The deprecated header continues to provide its original
contents under the original names.
Your old code can stay unchanged, unless the extra include and non-namespaced
macros bother you greatly.
There is discussion on the issue to rename `T_PYSSIZET` to `PY_T_SSIZE` or
similar. I chose not to do that -- users will probably copy/paste that with any
spelling, and not renaming it makes migration docs simpler.

effects are no longer duplicated.
Add test_py_clear() and test_py_setref() unit tests to _testcapi.
Add PyFrame_GetVar() and PyFrame_GetVarString() functions to get a
frame variable by its name.
Move PyFrameObject C API tests from test_capi to test_frame.
Previously, the optional restrictions on subinterpreters were: disallow fork, subprocess, and threads. By default, we were disallowing all three for "isolated" interpreters. We always allowed all three for the main interpreter and those created through the legacy `Py_NewInterpreter()` API.
Those settings were a bit conservative, so here we've adjusted the optional restrictions to: fork, exec, threads, and daemon threads. The default for "isolated" interpreters disables fork, exec, and daemon threads. Regular threads are allowed by default. We continue always allowing everything For the main interpreter and the legacy API.
In the code, we add `_PyInterpreterConfig.allow_exec` and `_PyInterpreterConfig.allow_daemon_threads`. We also add `Py_RTFLAGS_DAEMON_THREADS` and `Py_RTFLAGS_EXEC`.
(see https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/98608)
This change does the following:
1. change the argument to a new `_PyInterpreterConfig` struct
2. rename the function to `_Py_NewInterpreterFromConfig()`, inspired by `Py_InitializeFromConfig()` (takes a `_PyInterpreterConfig` instead of `isolated_subinterpreter`)
3. split up the boolean `isolated_subinterpreter` into the corresponding multiple granular settings
* allow_fork
* allow_subprocess
* allow_threads
4. add `PyInterpreterState.feature_flags` to store those settings
5. add a function for checking if a feature is enabled on an opaque `PyInterpreterState *`
6. drop `PyConfig._isolated_interpreter`
The existing default (see `Py_NewInterpeter()` and `Py_Initialize*()`) allows fork, subprocess, and threads and the optional "isolated" interpreter (see the `_xxsubinterpreters` module) disables all three. None of that changes here; the defaults are preserved.
Note that the given `_PyInterpreterConfig` will not be used outside `_Py_NewInterpreterFromConfig()`, nor preserved. This contrasts with how `PyConfig` is currently preserved, used, and even modified outside `Py_InitializeFromConfig()`. I'd rather just avoid that mess from the start for `_PyInterpreterConfig`. We can preserve it later if we find an actual need.
This change allows us to follow up with a number of improvements (e.g. stop disallowing subprocess and support disallowing exec instead).
(Note that this PR adds "private" symbols. We'll probably make them public, and add docs, in a separate change.)
- Limited API needs to be enabled per source file
- Some builds don't support Limited API, so Limited API tests must be skipped on those builds
(currently this is `Py_TRACE_REFS`, but that may change.)
- `Py_LIMITED_API` must be defined before `<Python.h>` is included.
This puts the hoop-jumping in `testcapi/parts.h`, so individual
test files can be relatively simple. (Currently that's only
`vectorcall_limited.c`, imagine more.)
- Move PyUnicode tests to a separate file
- Add some more tests for PyUnicode_FromFormat

The `_testcapimodule.c` file is getting too large to work with effectively.
This PR lays out a general structure of how tests can be split up, with more splitting to come later if the structure is OK.
Vectorcall tests aren't the biggest issue -- it's just an area I want to work on next, so I'm starting here.
An issue specific to vectorcall tests is that it wasn't clear that e.g. `MethodDescriptor2` is related to testing vectorcall: the `/* Test PEP 590 */` section had an ambiguous end. Separate file should make things like this much clearer.
OTOH, for some pieces it might not be clear where they should be -- I left `meth_fastcall` with tests of the other calling conventions. IMO, even with the ambiguity it's still worth it to split the huge file up.
I'm not sure about the buildsystem changes, hopefully CI will tell me what's wrong.
@vstinner, @markshannon: Do you think this is a good idea?

Move the follow functions and type from frameobject.h to pyframe.h,
so the standard <Python.h> provide frame getter functions:
* PyFrame_Check()
* PyFrame_GetBack()
* PyFrame_GetBuiltins()
* PyFrame_GetGenerator()
* PyFrame_GetGlobals()
* PyFrame_GetLasti()
* PyFrame_GetLocals()
* PyFrame_Type
Remove #include "frameobject.h" from many C files. It's no longer
needed.
When changing PyType_FromMetaclass recently (GH-93012, GH-93466, GH-28748)
I found a bunch of opportunities to improve the code. Here they are.
Fixes: #89546

This checks the bases of of a type created using the FromSpec
API to inherit the bases metaclasses. The metaclass's alloc
function will be called as is done in `tp_new` for classes
created in Python.
