sporadic crashes in multi-thread programs when several long deallocator
chains ran concurrently and involved subclasses of built-in container
types.

Because of this change, a couple extension modules compiled for 2.7.4
(those which use the trashcan mechanism, despite it being undocumented)
will not be loadable by 2.7.3 and earlier. However, extension modules
compiled for 2.7.3 and earlier will be loadable by 2.7.4.

Issue 14673: Add sys.implementation

Original patch by Stefano Taschini.

Patch from Mark Shannon.

w cannot be NULL so use Py_DECREF() instead of Py_XDECREF().

the descriptor because it may be destroyed before being used, destroyed during
the update of the dict for example.

  and lifetime issues of dynamically allocated Py_buffer members (#9990)
  as well as crashes (#8305, #7433). Many new features have been added
  (See whatsnew/3.3), and the documentation has been updated extensively.
  The ndarray test object from _testbuffer.c implements all aspects of
  PEP-3118, so further development towards the complete implementation
  of the PEP can proceed in a test-driven manner.

  Thanks to Nick Coghlan, Antoine Pitrou and Pauli Virtanen for review
  and many ideas.

- Issue #12834: Fix incorrect results of memoryview.tobytes() for
  non-contiguous arrays.

- Issue #5231: Introduce memoryview.cast() method that allows changing
  format and shape without making a copy of the underlying memory.

  environment variable, to provide an opt-in way to protect against denial of
  service attacks due to hash collisions within the dict and set types.  Patch
  by David Malcolm, based on work by Victor Stinner.

in order to make algorithmic complexity attacks on (e.g.) web apps much more complicated.

The environment variable PYTHONHASHSEED and the new command line flag -R control this
behavior.

I had to move the static identifier code from unicodeobject.h to object.h in
order for this to work.

Thanks to Darren Dale for patch.

And PyObject_Str() and PyObject_Repr() don't make strings ready in debug
mode to ensure that the caller makes the string ready before using it.

and check the string consistency.

_PyUnicode_CheckConsistency() doesn't check the hash anymore. It should be
possible to call this function even if hash(str) was already called.
