bpo-9303: Migrate sqlite3 module to _v2 API to enhance performance by palaviv · Pull Request #359 · python/cpython

Converts 12 BasicBlock-related extern "C" wrapper functions in
lir_c_api.cpp to static inline definitions in lir_c_api.h. Each wrapper
was a thin reinterpret_cast + field access; layout-pin static_asserts
in lir_instr_c_verify.cpp guarantee LirBasicBlock (C) and BasicBlock
(C++) field offsets match, making direct field access via cast safe
across both languages.

Files:
  M Python/jit/lir/lir_c_api.h    +82 / -19  (12 static inline defs added)
  M Python/jit/lir/lir_c_api.cpp  +6  / -68  (12 wrapper bodies removed)
Net: -75 / +81 = +6 LOC (header inline definitions slightly larger than
collapsed C++ bodies due to per-function comment + cast pattern).

Inlined functions (all static inline in lir_c_api.h):
  jit_lir_block_num_preds         -> ((const LirBasicBlock*)b)->num_preds_
  jit_lir_block_get_pred          -> ((const LirBasicBlock*)b)->predecessors_[i]
  jit_lir_block_num_succs         -> ((const LirBasicBlock*)b)->num_succs_
  jit_lir_block_get_succ          -> ((const LirBasicBlock*)b)->successors_[i]
  jit_lir_block_get_last_instr    -> ((const LirBasicBlock*)b)->instr_tail_
  jit_lir_block_get_first_instr   -> ((const LirBasicBlock*)b)->instr_head_
  jit_lir_block_num_instrs        -> ((const LirBasicBlock*)b)->num_instrs_
  jit_lir_block_get_false_succ    -> ((const LirBasicBlock*)b)->successors_[1]
  jit_lir_block_get_section       -> (int)((const LirBasicBlock*)b)->section_
  jit_lir_block_set_section       -> ((LirBasicBlock*)b)->section_ = ...
  jit_lir_block_get_id            -> ((const LirBasicBlock*)b)->id_
  jit_lir_block_get_instr_at      -> linked-list traversal via instr_head_/next_

Caller audit (preserved by header-inline):
  cold_block_marker.c: 14 sites
  dce.c:                4 sites
  blocksorter.c:        4 sites
  printer_c.c:         11 sites
  verify.c:             1 site
  TOTAL: 34 caller sites, ALL preserved by inline (same function names,
         same signatures, same return semantics).

Behavior preservation:
  - Field offsets: guaranteed by static_asserts in lir_instr_c_verify.cpp
    (specifically: id_, successors_, instr_head_, section_ offsets all
    cross-validated)
  - num_succs_ / num_preds_ : direct field reads vs C++ predecessors().size()
    — C++ BlockSpan::size() returns the same num_preds_ field (block.h:24)
  - get_false_succ : preserves original no-bounds-check semantic
    (original used successors_[1] without check; matches inline version)
  - set_section : original called BasicBlock::setSection() which is just
    section_ = section (block.h:183 confirmed); inline writes field directly
  - get_instr_at : C inline traverses instr_head_->next_ chain identically
    to C++ instructions().front() + cur->next_ loop

.h-decl <-> .cpp-defn enumeration: COMPREHENSIVE (per c4 lesson).
  All 12 extern declarations in lir_c_api.h:40-51 mapped to definitions
  in lir_c_api.cpp:63-129; all 12 inlined; 0 missed; 0 dead methods to
  delete this round (all 12 have active callers per audit above).

.h-inline <-> decl-visibility check: lir_c_api.h is self-contained for
  the inlined functions — uses LirBasicBlock + LirInstruction (declared
  in lir_types_c.h, included by lir_c_api.h:15) + JitLirBlock/JitLirInstr
  typedefs (defined later in same file). LirCodeSection used in
  set_section is also from lir_types_c.h. No new include needed.

PRE-COMMIT BUILD VERIFIED (per supervisor 16:12:20Z compile-before-commit
directive, first real test of the workflow per pythia python#359):

  Build command:
    cd Python/jit_build/build && cmake --build . --target jit -j 16
    (then) cd cpython && make -j16 python

  Build trailer (verbatim, x86_64, 2026-05-12):
    [ 24%] Linking CXX static library libjit.a
    [100%] Built target jit
    clang++ ... -o python ... -Wl,--start-group Python/jit_build/build/libjit.a ...
    (link successful, exit 0)

  Warnings: 5 pre-existing (block-comment in reader_c.h:22, unused-private-
  field in phoenix_asm_wrapper.h:865 etc.); ZERO new warnings introduced.

  Binary post-build:
    stat: 2026-05-12 10:03:36 python
    sys.version: 3.12.13 (heads/phoenix-asm-integration:6aedfa8d1e, ...)
    NOTE: version string reports c5 (6aedfa8) because git HEAD at
    compile-time was c5; binary CONTAINS the c6 inline code (in libjit.a)
    but the embedded commit-string lags by one commit. Testkeeper Tier 1
    rebuild post-c6-commit will produce a binary with c6 commit string.

  Working tree clean post-build (verified: only the 2 staged c6 files M).

Pre-ARM64 APPROVE pending; ABBA waived (inline conversion of byte-equivalent
field accessors, no executable-path semantic change beyond removed function-
call overhead which the optimizer would have eliminated anyway via LTO).
