_PyArg_Parser holds static global data generated for modules by Argument Clinic. The _PyArg_Parser.kwtuple field is a tuple object, even though it's stored within a static global. In some cases the tuple is statically allocated and thus it's okay that it gets shared by multiple interpreters. However, in other cases the tuple is set lazily, allocated from the heap using the active interprepreter at the point the tuple is needed.
This is a problem once that interpreter is destroyed since _PyArg_Parser.kwtuple becomes at dangling pointer, leading to crashes. It isn't a problem if the tuple is allocated under the main interpreter, since its lifetime is bound to the lifetime of the runtime. The solution here is to temporarily switch to the main interpreter. The alternative would be to always statically allocate the tuple.
This change also fixes a bug where only the most recent parser was added to the global linked list.
Move the following private functions and structures to
pycore_modsupport.h internal C API:
* _PyArg_BadArgument()
* _PyArg_CheckPositional()
* _PyArg_NoKeywords()
* _PyArg_NoPositional()
* _PyArg_ParseStack()
* _PyArg_ParseStackAndKeywords()
* _PyArg_Parser structure
* _PyArg_UnpackKeywords()
* _PyArg_UnpackKeywordsWithVararg()
* _PyArg_UnpackStack()
* _Py_ANY_VARARGS()
Changes:
* Python/getargs.h now includes pycore_modsupport.h to export
functions.
* clinic.py now adds pycore_modsupport.h when one of these functions
is used.
* Add pycore_modsupport.h includes when a C extension uses one of
these functions.
* Define Py_BUILD_CORE_MODULE in C extensions which now include
directly or indirectly (via code generated by Argument Clinic)
pycore_modsupport.h:
* _csv
* _curses_panel
* _dbm
* _gdbm
* _multiprocessing.posixshmem
* _sqlite.row
* _statistics
* grp
* resource
* syslog
* _testcapi: bad_get() no longer uses METH_FASTCALL calling
convention but METH_VARARGS. Replace _PyArg_UnpackStack() with
PyArg_ParseTuple().
* _testcapi: add PYTESTCAPI_NEED_INTERNAL_API macro which is defined
by _testcapi sub-modules which need the internal C API
(pycore_modsupport.h): exceptions.c, float.c, vectorcall.c,
watchers.c.
* Remove Include/cpython/modsupport.h header file.
Include/modsupport.h no longer includes the removed header file.
* Fix mypy clinic.py
Make sure that the internal C API is not tested by mistake by
_testcapi.
Undefine Py_BUILD_CORE_BUILTIN and Py_BUILD_CORE_MODULE macros in
Modules/_testcapi/parts.h: move code from _testcapimodule.c.
heaptype_relative.c and vectorcall_limited.c are using the limited C
API which is incompatible with the internal C API.
Move test_long_numbits() from _testcapi to _testinternalcapi since it
uses the internal C API "pycore_long.h".
Fix Modules/_testcapi/pyatomic.c: don't include Python.h directly,
just include _testcapi/parts.h.
Ajust "make check-c-globals" for these changes.
Move the private _PyErr_WriteUnraisableMsg() functions to the
internal C API (pycore_pyerrors.h).
Move write_unraisable_exc() from _testcapi to _testinternalcapi.
Argument Clinic now only includes pycore_gc.h if PyGC_Head is needed,
and only includes pycore_runtime.h if _Py_ID() is needed.
* Add 'condition' optional argument to Clinic.add_include().
* deprecate_keyword_use() includes pycore_runtime.h when using
the _PyID() function.
* Fix rendering of includes: comments start at the column 35.
* Mark PC/clinic/_wmimodule.cpp.h and
"Objects/stringlib/clinic/*.h.h" header files as generated in
.gitattributes.
Effects:
* 42 header files generated by AC no longer include the internal C
API, instead of 4 header files before. For example,
Modules/clinic/_abc.c.h no longer includes the internal C API.
* Fix _testclinic_depr.c.h: it now always includes pycore_runtime.h
to get _Py_ID().
