Add `MS_WINDOWS_DESKTOP`, `MS_WINDOWS_APPS`, `MS_WINDOWS_SYSTEM` and `MS_WINDOWS_GAMES` preprocessor definitions to allow switching off functionality missing from particular API partitions ("partitions" are used in Windows to identify overlapping subsets of APIs).
CPython only officially supports `MS_WINDOWS_DESKTOP` and `MS_WINDOWS_SYSTEM` (APPS is included by normal desktop builds, but APPS without DESKTOP is not covered). Other configurations are a convenience for people building their own runtimes.
`MS_WINDOWS_GAMES` is for the Xbox subset of the Windows API, which is also available on client OS, but is restricted compared to `MS_WINDOWS_DESKTOP`. These restrictions may change over time, as they relate to the build headers rather than the OS support, and so we assume that Xbox builds will use the latest available version of the GDK.
builtins and extension module functions and methods that expect boolean values for parameters now accept any Python object rather than just a bool or int type. This is more consistent with how native Python code itself behaves.
We only statically initialize for core code and builtin modules. Extension modules still create
the tuple at runtime. We'll solve that part of interpreter isolation separately.
This change includes generated code. The non-generated changes are in:
* Tools/clinic/clinic.py
* Python/getargs.c
* Include/cpython/modsupport.h
* Makefile.pre.in (re-generate global strings after running clinic)
* very minor tweaks to Modules/_codecsmodule.c and Python/Python-tokenize.c
All other changes are generated code (clinic, global strings).
This works by not caching the handle and instead getting the handle from
the file descriptor each time, so that if the actual handle changes by
fd redirection closing/opening the console handle beneath our feet, we
will keep working correctly.
Fix invalid function cast warnings with gcc 8
for method conventions different from METH_NOARGS, METH_O and
METH_VARARGS in Argument Clinic generated code.
The function '_PyArg_ParseStack()' and
'_PyArg_UnpackStack' were failing (with error
"XXX() takes Y argument (Z given)") before
the function '_PyArg_NoStackKeywords()' was called.
Thus, the latter did not raise its more meaningful
error : "XXX() takes no keyword arguments".
