gh-120291: Fix bashisms in python-config.sh.in
Replace the use of bash-specific `[[ ... ]]` with POSIX-compliant
`[ ... ]` to make the `python-config` shell script work with non-bash
shells again. While at it, use `local` in a safer way, since it is
not in POSIX either (though universally supported).
Fixes#120291
Add code and config for a minimal Android app, and instructions to build and run it.
Improve Android build instructions in general.
Add a tool subcommand to download the Gradle wrapper (with its binary blob). Android
studio must be downloaded manually (due to the license).
Older libedit versions (like Apple's) use a different type signature
for rl_startup_hook and rl_pre_input_hook. Add a configure check to
determine which signature is accepted by introducing the
Py_RL_STARTUP_HOOK_TAKES_ARGS macro in pyconfig.h.
This change is part of the work on PEP-738: Adding Android as a
supported platform.
* Remove the "1.0" suffix from libpython's filename on Android, which
would prevent Gradle from packaging it into an app.
* Simplify the build command in the Makefile so that libpython always
gets given an SONAME with the `-Wl-h` argument, even if the SONAME is
identical to the actual filename.
* Disable a number of functions on Android which can be compiled and
linked against, but always fail at runtime. As a result, the native
_multiprocessing module is no longer built for Android.
* gh-115390 (bee7bb331) added some pre-determined results to the
configure script for things that can't be autodetected when
cross-compiling; this change adds Android to these where appropriate.
* Add a couple more pre-determined results for Android, and making them
cover iOS as well. This means the --enable-ipv6 configure option will
no longer be required on either platform.
Part of the work on PEP 738: Adding Android as a supported platform.
* Rename the LIBPYTHON variable to MODULE_LDFLAGS, to more accurately
reflect its purpose.
* Edit makesetup to use MODULE_LDFLAGS when linking extension modules.
* Edit the Makefile so that extension modules depend on libpython on
Android and Cygwin.
* Restore `-fPIC` on Android. It was removed several years ago with a
note that the toolchain used it automatically, but this is no longer
the case. Omitting it causes all linker commands to fail with an error
like `relocation R_AARCH64_ADR_PREL_PG_HI21 cannot be used against
symbol '_Py_FalseStruct'; recompile with -fPIC`.
Part of the PEP 730 work to add iOS support.
This change lays the groundwork for introducing iOS/tvOS/watchOS
frameworks; it includes the structural refactoring needed so that iOS
branches can be added into in a subsequent PR.
Summary of changes:
* Updates config.sub to the 2024-01-01 release. This is the "as
released" version of config.sub.
* Adds a RESSRCDIR variable to allow sharing of macOS and iOS Makefile
steps.
* Adds an INSTALLTARGETS variable so platforms can customise which
targets are actually installed. This will be used to exclude certain
targets (e.g., binaries, manfiles) from iOS framework installs.
* Adds a PYTHONFRAMEWORKINSTALLNAMEPREFIX variable; this is used as
the install name for the library. This is needed to allow for iOS
frameworks to specify an @rpath-based install name.
* Evaluates MACHDEP earlier in the configure process so that
ac_sys_system is available.
* Modifies _PYTHON_HOST_PLATFORM evaluation for cross-platform builds
so that the CPU architecture is differentiated from the host
identifier. This will be used to generate a _PYTHON_HOST_PLATFORM
definition that includes ABI information, not just CPU architecture.
* Differentiates between SOABI_PLATFORM and PLATFORM_TRIPLET.
SOABI_PLATFORM is used in binary module names, and includes the ABI,
but not the OS or CPU architecture (e.g.,
math.cpython-313-iphonesimulator.dylib). PLATFORM_TRIPLET is used
as the sys._multiarch value, and on iOS will contains the ABI and
architecture (e.g., iphoneos-arm64). This differentiation hasn't
historically been needed because while macOS is a multiarch platform,
it uses a bare darwin as PLATFORM_TRIPLE.
* Removes the use of the deprecated -Wl,-single_module flag when
compiling macOS frameworks.
* Some whitespace normalisation where there was a mix of spaces and tabs
in a single block.
This ensures the source directory is not modified at build time, and different builds (e.g. different versions or GIL vs no-GIL) do not have conflicts.
A typo left this check broken so many of us who do out-of-tree builds
were seeing strange failures due to bad `Python/frozen_modules/*.h`
files being picked up from the source tree and used at build time from
different Python versions leading to errors like:
`Fatal Python error: _PyImport_InitCore: failed to initialize importlib`
Or similar once our build got to an "invoke the interpreter"
bootstrapping step due to incorrect bytecode being embedded.
The "Check if generated files are up to date" job of GitHub Actions
now runs the "autoreconf -ivf -Werror" command instead of the "make
regen-configure" command to avoid depending on the external quay.io
server.
Add Tools/build/regen-configure.sh script to regenerate the configure
with an Ubuntu container image. The
"quay.io/tiran/cpython_autoconf:271" container image
(https://github.com/tiran/cpython_autoconf) is no longer used.
This avoids:
python3.13 Tools/unicode/makeunicodedata.py
python3.13: can't open file '.../build/debug/Tools/unicode/makeunicodedata.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory
make: *** [Makefile:1498: regen-unicodedata] Error 2
Re-run `make regen-unicodedata` to update the script path in generated files.
Build the _multiprocessing.posixshmem extension with the Limited C
API.
* Add <errno.h> include.
* Replace PyUnicode_AsUTF8() with PyUnicode_AsUTF8AndSize().
