Move creation of a tuple for var-positional parameter out of _PyArg_UnpackKeywordsWithVararg(). Merge _PyArg_UnpackKeywordsWithVararg() with _PyArg_UnpackKeywords(). Add a new parameter in _PyArg_UnpackKeywords(). The "parameters" and "converters" attributes of ParseArgsCodeGen no longer contain the var-positional parameter. It is now available as the "varpos" attribute. Optimize code generation for var-positional parameter and reuse the same generating code for functions with and without keyword parameters. Add special converters for var-positional parameter. "tuple" represents it as a Python tuple and "array" represents it as a continuous array of PyObject*. "object" is a temporary alias of "tuple". |

####################################### # C Globals and CPython Runtime State. CPython's C code makes extensive use of global variables. Each global falls into one of several categories: * (effectively) constants (incl. static types) * globals used exclusively in main or in the REPL * freelists, caches, and counters * process-global state * module state * Python runtime state Of the different categories, the last two are problematic and generally should not exist in the codebase. Globals that hold module state (i.e. in Modules/*.c) cause problems when multiple interpreters are in use. For more info, see PEP 3121, which addresses the situation for extension modules in general. Globals in the last category should be avoided as well. The problem isn't with the Python runtime having state. Rather, the problem is with that state being spread throughout the codebase in dozens of individual globals. Unlike the other globals, the runtime state represents a set of values that are constantly shifting in a complex way. When they are spread out it's harder to get a clear picture of what the runtime involves. Furthermore, when they are spread out it complicates efforts that change the runtime. Consequently, the globals for Python's runtime state have been consolidated under a single top-level _PyRuntime global. No new globals should be added for runtime state. Instead, they should be added to _PyRuntimeState or one of its sub-structs. The check-c-globals script should be run to ensure that no new globals have been added: python3 Tools/c-analyzer/check-c-globals.py You can also use the more generic tool: python3 Tools/c-analyzer/c-analyzer.py If it reports any globals then they should be resolved. If the globals are runtime state then they should be folded into _PyRuntimeState.
