From fe587fc997af5486e94250a3dbe7e96f966b1d94 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kevin Buettner Date: Thu, 30 Jun 2022 15:40:29 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] Handle Python 3.11 deprecation of PySys_SetPath and Py_SetProgramName Python 3.11 deprecates PySys_SetPath and Py_SetProgramName. The PyConfig API replaces these and other functions. This commit uses the PyConfig API to provide equivalent functionality while also preserving support for older versions of Python, i.e. those before Python 3.8. A beta version of Python 3.11 is available in Fedora Rawhide. Both Fedora 35 and Fedora 36 use Python 3.10, while Fedora 34 still used Python 3.9. I've tested these changes on Fedora 34, Fedora 36, and rawhide, though complete testing was not possible on rawhide due to a kernel bug. That being the case, I decided to enable the newer PyConfig API by testing PY_VERSION_HEX against 0x030a0000. This corresponds to Python 3.10. We could try to use the PyConfig API for Python versions as early as 3.8, but I'm reluctant to do this as there may have been PyConfig related bugs in earlier versions which have since been fixed. Recent linux distributions should have support for Python 3.10. This should be more than adequate for testing the new Python initialization code in GDB. Information about the PyConfig API as well as the motivation behind deprecating the old interface can be found at these links: https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/88279 https://peps.python.org/pep-0587/ https://docs.python.org/3.11/c-api/init_config.html The v2 commit also addresses several problems that Simon found in the v1 version. In v1, I had used Py_DontWriteBytecodeFlag in the new initialization code, but Simon pointed out that this global configuration variable will be deprecated in Python 3.12. This version of the patch no longer uses Py_DontWriteBytecodeFlag in the new initialization code. Additionally, both Py_DontWriteBytecodeFlag and Py_IgnoreEnvironmentFlag will no longer be used when building GDB against Python 3.10 or higher. While it's true that both of these global configuration variables are deprecated in Python 3.12, it makes sense to disable their use for gdb builds against 3.10 and higher since those are the versions for which the PyConfig API is now being used by GDB. (The PyConfig API includes different mechanisms for making the same settings afforded by use of the soon-to-be deprecated global configuration variables.) Simon also noted that PyConfig_Clear() would not have be called for one of the failure paths. I've fixed that problem and also made the rest of the "bail out" code more direct. In particular, PyConfig_Clear() will always be called, both for success and failure. The v3 patch addresses some rebase conflicts related to module initialization . Commit 3acd9a692dd ("Make 'import gdb.events' work") uses PyImport_ExtendInittab instead of PyImport_AppendInittab. That commit also initializes a struct for each module to import. Both the initialization and the call to were moved ahead of the ifdefs to avoid having to replicate (at least some of) the code three times in various portions of the ifdefs.
