* Support arbitrary bytes-like objects, not only bytes, in fcntl().
* The fcntl() buffer argument is now null-terminated.
* Automatically retry an ioctl() system calls failing with EINTR.
* Release the GIL for an ioctl() system call even for large bytes-like object.
* Do not silence arbitrary errors whet try to get a buffer.
* Optimize argument parsing, check the argument type before trying to get
a buffer or convert it to integer.
* Fix some error messages.
This PR adds the ability to enable the GIL if it was disabled at
interpreter startup, and modifies the multi-phase module initialization
path to enable the GIL when loading a module, unless that module's spec
includes a slot indicating it can run safely without the GIL.
PEP 703 called the constant for the slot `Py_mod_gil_not_used`; I went
with `Py_MOD_GIL_NOT_USED` for consistency with gh-104148.
A warning will be issued up to once per interpreter for the first
GIL-using module that is loaded. If `-v` is given, a shorter message
will be printed to stderr every time a GIL-using module is loaded
(including the first one that issues a warning).
Functions like PyErr_SetFromErrno() and SetFromWindowsErr() should be
called immediately after using the C API which sets errno or the Windows
error code.
Move the private _PyLong converter functions to the internal C API
* _PyLong_FileDescriptor_Converter(): moved to pycore_fileutils.h
* _PyLong_Size_t_Converter(): moved to pycore_long.h
Argument Clinic now emits includes for pycore_fileutils.h and
pycore_long.h when these functions are used.
Here we are doing no more than adding the value for Py_mod_multiple_interpreters and using it for stdlib modules. We will start checking for it in gh-104206 (once PyInterpreterState.ceval.own_gil is added in gh-104204).
* Add F_SETPIPE_SZ and F_GETPIPE_SZ to fcntl module
* Add pipesize parameter for subprocess.Popen class
This will allow the user to control the size of the pipes.
On linux the default is 64K. When a pipe is full it blocks for writing.
When a pipe is empty it blocks for reading. On processes that are
very fast this can lead to a lot of wasted CPU cycles. On a typical
Linux system the max pipe size is 1024K which is much better.
For high performance-oriented libraries such as xopen it is nice to
be able to set the pipe size.
The workaround without this feature is to use my_popen_process.stdout.fileno() in
conjuction with fcntl and 1031 (value of F_SETPIPE_SZ) to acquire this behavior.
Along the way, fix an argumrnt to fcntl.fcntl to be an int instead of
a long.
Thanks to Serhiy Storchaka for reviewing my Clinic patch and for
writing the patch to fix the long/int issue.
