bpo-39573: Convert Py_REFCNT and Py_SIZE to functions by vstinner · Pull Request #20429 · python/cpython

the-knights-who-say-ni

Convert Py_REFCNT() and Py_SIZE() macros to static inline functions.
They cannot be used as l-value anymore: use Py_SET_REFCNT() and
Py_SET_SIZE() to set an object reference count and size.

Replace &Py_SIZE(self) with &((PyVarObject*)self)->ob_size
in arraymodule.c.

This change is backward incompatible on purpose, to prepare the C API
for an opaque PyObject structure.

In python/cpython#20290 CPython changed
`Py_TYPE` from a macro to an inline function.  This requires a code
change to us `Py_SET_TYPE` instead when using `Py_TYPE()` as a lvalue
in c code.

In python/cpython#20429 CPython changed
`Py_SIZE` from a macro to an inline function.  This requires a code
change to us `Py_SET_SIZE` instead of using `Py_SIZE` as a lvalue in c
code.
