This reverts commit 811edcf (gh-133232), which itself reverted the original commit 811edcf (gh-133128).
We reverted the original change due to failing s390 builds (a big-endian architecture).
It ended up that I had not accommodated op caches.
Add `_Py_ALIGN_AS` as per C API WG vote: https://github.com/capi-workgroup/decisions/issues/61
This patch only adds it to free-threaded builds; the `#ifdef Py_GIL_DISABLED`
can be removed in the future.
Use this to revert `PyASCIIObject` memory layout for non-free-threaded builds.
The long-term plan is to deprecate the entire struct; until that happens
it's better to keep it unchanged, as courtesy to people that rely on it despite
it not being stable ABI.
After gh-130704, the interpreter replaces some uses of `LOAD_FAST` with
`LOAD_FAST_BORROW` which avoid incref/decrefs by "borrowing" references
on the interpreter stack when the bytecode compiler can determine that
it's safe.
This change broke some checks in C API extensions that relied on
`Py_REFCNT()` of `1` to determine if it's safe to modify an object
in-place. Objects may have a reference count of one, but still be
referenced further up the interpreter stack due to borrowing of
references.
This provides a replacement function for those checks.
`PyUnstable_Object_IsUniqueReferencedTemporary` is more conservative:
it checks that the object has a reference count of one and that it exists as a
unique strong reference in the interpreter's stack of temporary
variables in the top most frame.

* Skip sNaN's testing in 32-bit mode.
* Drop float_set_snan() helper.
* Use memcpy() workaround for sNaN's in PyFloat_Unpack4().
* Document, that sNaN's may not be preserved by PyFloat_Pack/Unpack API.
This helper is useful in a variety of ways, including in demonstrating how the different counts relate to one another.
It will be used in a later change to help identify if a function is "stateless", meaning it doesn't have any free vars or globals.
Note that a majority of this change is tests.
The function indicates whether or not the function has a return statement.
This is used by a later change related treating some functions like scripts.
In the free-threaded build, avoid data races caused by updating type slots
or type flags after the type was initially created. For those (typically
rare) cases, use the stop-the-world mechanism. Remove the use of atomics
when reading or writing type flags. The use of atomics is not sufficient to
avoid races (since flags are sometimes read without a lock and without
atomics) and are no longer required.
Two races related to the type lookup cache, when used in the
free-threaded build. This caused test_opcache to sometimes fail (as
well as other hard to re-produce failures).
