In a followup commit we are going to add channel types (e.g. chan of
double, chan of int, etc) and accordingly there will be several nil
channel objects, e.g. nil(dtype=int), nil(dtype=double) etc, which will
be separate python objects. Even without data types, another planned
change is to add directional channels, e.g. a channel instance that can
only send, but not receive and vice versa(*).

This way for the same underlying channel object, there can be several
pychan objects that point to it - even for nil channel - e.g. nilchan
and `niltx = nilchan.txonly()` that creates another pychan object
pointing to the same underlying nil.

Since we want all channels (of the same type) that point to the same
underlying channel to compare as same, we cannot use "is" for comparison
and have to use ==. In other words channels, both at C and Python level,
should be perceived as pointers, of which there can be multiple ones
pointing to the same location, and thus == has to be used to compare
them.

(*) see https://golang.org/ref/spec#Channel_types for details.

For example

    -    def send(pych, obj):
    +    def send(pychan pych, obj):

Even though Cython allows not to annotate self with type, this makes the
code more clear.

This prepares pyselect codebase for future logic where all channel
element types will be sent via inplace _selcase data. For PyObject we
could previously go with "wiring ptx through pycase[1]", but for
arbitrary type, that has to be first converted from Python object to
C-level object, we would have to store the result somewhere, and that
would mean extra allocation and pyselect code complexity increase, even
for cases that don't use anything but chan[object].

So do the preparation and switch pyselect into using inplace tx.

Currently select, via _selcase, requires users to provide pointers to tx
and rx buffers. However if element type itself can fit into a pointer
word, we can put the element directly into _selcase and mark the case
with a flag, that it contains inplace data instead of referring to
external storage. This will be helpful in upcoming patch where we'll
teach pychan to work with several element types, not only pyobject
elements.

This patch does careful introduction of _selcase.flags - in such a way
that the size of _selcase stays the same as it was before by using
bitfields. The .ptxrx pointer is unioned with newly introduced inplace
uint64 .itxrx data, which is used by select instead of .ptxrx if the
flag is set. The usage of uint64 should not increase _selcase size on
64-bit platforms.

Then _selcase.ptx() and .prx() accessors are adapted accordingly and
the rest of the changes are corresponding test and
_chanselect2<onstack=false> adaptation.

This functionality is kind of low-level and is not exposed via any
_selsend() or chan.sends() API changes. Whenever inplace tx should be
used, the case should be prepared either completely manually, or with
e.g. first calling _selsend() and then manually changing .flags and
.itxrx.  Added test serves as the example on how to do it.

Inplace rx is currently forbidden - because supporting that would require
to drop const from casev select argument. However in the future, for
symmetry, we might want to support that as well.

P.S.

Since write to selcase.itxrx requires casting pointers e.g. like this:

	*(int *)&sel[0].itxrx = 12345;

it breaks C99 strict aliasing and by default compiler can generate bad
code on such pattern. To the problem we adapt the build system
to default compiler to no-strict-aliasing (as many other projects do,
e.g. Linux kernel) with the idea that in many cases where strict
aliasing was intended to help it actually does not, because e.g. pointer
types are the same, while explicitly marking pointers with `restrict`
keyword does help indeed.

Nothing new for Python2 here, as it is using -fno-strict-aliasing by
itself. However Python3 is compiling without -fno-strict-aliasing:
https://python.org/dev/peps/pep-3123 .

In the next patch we are going to teach _selcase to support both
external and inplace data. Before that let's do a couple of preparatory
things.

This patch: introduces .ptx() and .prx() accessors to get to
corresponding data buffer associated with _selcase. Convert _selcase
users to use .ptx() and .prx() instead of doing direct .ptxrx access.
This way when we'll add inplace support to _selcase, we'll need to adapt
only accessors, not clients.

The only place that is left using .ptxrx directly is one tricky place in
_chanselect2<onstack=false> where gevent-related code needs to carefully
deal with proxying tx/rx buffers due to STACK_DEAD_WHILE_PARKED.

NOTE even though new accessors may panic, libgolang.cpp always calls them
after checking that the conditions for ptx/prx calls are valid.

In the next patches we are going to teach _selcase to support both
external and inplace data. Before that let's do a couple of preparatory
things.

This patch: rename .data -> .ptxrx . The new name is more clear:

- "p" prefix aligns with other libgolang style, e.g. ptx or prx.
- "txrx" suffix says that this is used for both send and recv.

Just plain renaming, nothing else in this patch.

Before passing objects to _chanselect for send, pyselect increfs them, as just
send does, to indicate that one object reference is passed to channel buffer.
On exit, since only one case is actually executed by select, pyselect needs to
decref incref'ed object from not executed cases.

Pyselect already implements the latter cleanup, but currently the cleanup is
executed only if control flow reaches _chanselect at all. Which is a bug, since
pyselect can panic or raise an exception just in the middle of preparation phase.

-> Fix it by associating the finally-decref cleanup with whole
prepare+_chanselect code.

Without the fix, the second part of added test (abnormal exit) fails e.g. like:

        @mark.skipif(not hasattr(sys, 'getrefcount'),   # skipped e.g. on PyPy
                     reason="needs sys.getrefcount")
        def test_select_refleak():
            ch1 = chan()
            ch2 = chan()
            obj1 = object()
            obj2 = object()
            tx1 = (ch1.send, obj1)
            tx2 = (ch2.send, obj2)

            # normal exit
            gc.collect()
            nref1 = sys.getrefcount(obj1)
            nref2 = sys.getrefcount(obj2)
            _, _rx = select(
                tx1,        # 0
                tx2,        # 1
                default,    # 2
            )
            assert (_, _rx) == (2, None)
            gc.collect()
            assert sys.getrefcount(obj1) == nref1
            gc.collect()

The bug was introduced in 3b241983 (Port/move channels to C/C++/Pyx).

We will soon rework pychan to be python wrapper not only for
chan<object>, but also for other channels of various C types - e.g.
chan<structZ>, chan<int>, etc.

To prepare for this let's first rework pychan from using chan[PyObject*]
into raw _chan* functions. This will allow us to use the same functions
over raw channels while dynamically dispatching on channel element type.

e.g. go -> pygo, select -> pyselect, etc. This will make the followup
transition to non-py mode more clear.

- cdef their attributes (else accessing any of them raises
  AttributeError), in particular use pychan and sync.Mutex in cimport mode.
- change `with mu` into explicit lock/unlock (since pyx sync.Mutex does
  not support with).
- use INFINITY instead of None for empty dt.

In preparation to start migrating, at least partly, time functionality
to nogil mode, move the code from time.py to _time.pyx . This is straight
code movement except

	now	-> pynow, and
	sleep	-> pysleep

replaces, since in _time.pyx now and sleep were already referring to
nogil versions.

We don't move just to time.pyx (note no _ prefix), since we will need to
continue distinguishing pyx/nogil from py objects/functions, e.g.
pyx time.second is C constant, while pyx time.pysecond is pyobject
exported to python world as time.second.

One place in _time.pyx was overlooked in ce8152a2 (pyx api: Provide sleep).

Similarly to 78d85cdc (sync: threading.Event -> chan) replace everywhere
threaing.Lock usage with sync.Mutex . This brings 2 goods:

- sync.Mutex becomes more well tested;
- we untie ourselves from threading python module (threading.Lock was
  the last user).

Until now libgolang had semaphore and mutex functionality, but
implemented only internally and not exposed to users. Since for its
pinner thread wendelin.core v2 needs not only nogil channels, but also
nogil mutexes, timers and so on, it is now time to start providing that.

We start with mutexes:

- Expose Mutex from insides of libgolang.cpp to public API in
  libgolang.h . We actually expose both Mutex and Sema because
  semaphores are sometimes also useful for low-level synchronization,
  and because it is easier to export Mutex and Sema both at the same time.

- Provide pyx/nogil API to those as sync.Mutex and sync.Sema.

- Provide corresponding python wrappers.

- Add Pyx-level test for semaphore wakeup when wakeup is done not by the
  same thread which did the original acquire. This is the test that was
  promised in 5142460d (libgolang/thread: Add links to upstream
  PyThread_release_lock bug), and it used to corrupt memory and deadlock
  on macOS due to CPython & PyPy runtime bugs:

    https://bugs.python.org/issue38106
      -> https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/16047
    https://bitbucket.org/pypy/pypy/issues/3072

Note about python wrappers: At present, due to
https://github.com/cython/cython/issues/3165, C-level panic is not
properly translated into Py-level exception in (Py)Sema/Mutex constructors.
This should not pose a real problem in practice though.

- Fix references to time::sleep and _tasknanosleep in library overview.
- add golang::time:: comment before openeing corresponding namespace.

We will soon need this functionality for sync_test.py to import tests
from _sync_test.pyx . In the future many modules will need to import
X_test.pyx from X_test.py as well.

- it is in Go style to panic on memory allocation failure.
- _makechan can already panic, instead of returning NULL, on e.g. ch._mu
  initialization failure.
- we were already not checking in several places for NULL after
  _makechan() call (e.g. in golang/runtime/libgolang_test_c.c).

This switches _makechan to panic on memory allocation failure and
settles on style of future C-level API calls to panic instead of
returning NULL on failure.

sys is imported in the beginning of main, so there is no need to import
it the second time in the middle of main. The bug was there since
gpython day1 - since 32a21d5b (gpython: Python interpreter with support
for lightweight threads).

This release is bugfix-only. Compared to pygolang v0.0.3 (4ca65816)
the change in speed is likely within noise:

Like we already do for e.g. _chan, to increase probability that if
something is used after free we get a NULL-dereference crash instead of
more hard-to-understand segfault.

Similarly to situation described in dcf4ebd1 (libgolang: Fix chan.close
to dequeue subscribers atomically), select can be also accessing a
channel object at the time of wakeup when that channel could be already
destroyed: select queues waiters to channels recv/send queues and upon
wakeup needs to dequeue them. This requires locking channels, not to
mention that a channel destroy with non-empty subscribers queue will
trigger bug panic.

Contrary to the fix for recv, we cannot rework select not to access
channel objects after wakeup, because for select upon wakeup all queued
channels could be already destroyed, not only selected one. Thus the fix
here is to incref/decref the channels for the duration where we need to
access them.

The bug was not caught by existing tests and was noted while doing
libgolang.cpp review for concurrency issues. With added test (hereby fix
is served by a bit amended _test_close_wakeup_all) the bug, if not
fixed, renders itself as e.g. the following under TSAN:

and reliably crashes under regular builds.

During the second phase of select - after all cases were polled and
noone was found to be ready - cases are queued to corresponding channels
recv and send queues. While that queueing is in progress, a case, that
was already queued, could win (see f0b592b4 "select: Don't let both a
queued and a tried cases win at the same time" for details).

If such won case is detected, we break out of queuing loop, but
currently don't wait for that case to become ready. This is a bug,
because when a case is marked as won, its data is not yet copied - for
example for won recv case if we don't wait for that case to become
ready, we will be returning from select while corresponding *prx and
*rxok for recv waiter is still being copied in progress.

An example TSAN reports for this bug are as follows:

-> Fix it by always waiting for WaitGroup's won case to become ready.

The bug was introduced in 3b241983 (Port/move channels to C/C++/Pyx). Before
that - when channels were implemented at Python level, we were always waiting
on select's group.

Added test catches the bug on all - even not under TSAN - builds.

Currently chan.close iterates all send/recv subscribers
unlocking/relocking the channel for each and notifying dequeued
subscriber with channel unlocked. This leads to that even if channel had
only one subscriber, chan.close accesses chan._mu again - after
notifying that subscriber. That in turn means that an idiom where e.g.
a done channel is passed to worker, which worker closes at the end, and
main task waiting on the done and destroying done right after wakeup
cannot work - because close, internally, accesses already destroyed
channel as the following TSAN report shows for _test_go_c:

-> Fix close to dequeue all channel's subscribers atomically, and notify
them all after channel is unlocked and _no_ longer accessed.

Close was already working this way when channels were done at Python
level, but in 3b241983 (Port/move channels to C/C++/Pyx) I introduced
this bug while trying to avoid additional memory allocation in close.

Added test catches the bug on all - even not under TSAN - builds.

----

Added test also reveals another bug: recv<onstack=false> uses channel
after wakeup, and, as at the time of wakeup the channel could be
already destroyed, that segfaults. Fix it by pre-reading in recv
everything needed from _chan object before going to sleep.

This fix cannot go separately from close fix, as fixed close is required
for recv-uses-chan-after-wakeup testcase.

This will be needed in the next patch.

When lambda captures stack-resided variable by reference, it actually
remembers address of that variable and inside lambda code dereferences
that address on variable use. The lifetime of all spawned goroutines in
libgolang_test is subset of test function driver lifetime, so capturing
by reference should be safe in that situation on the first glance.
However for that to work, it is required that stacks of both goroutines
- the main goroutine and spawned goroutine - must be live at the same
time, so that spawned goroutine could safely retrieve a
reference-captured variable located on the main goroutine stack.

This works for thread runtime, but is known not to work for gevent
runtime, where inactive goroutine stack is swapped onto heap and is
generally considered "dead" while that goroutine is parked (see
"Implementation note" in 3b241983 "Port/move channels to C/C++/Pyx" for
details about this).

-> Fix the test by capturing by value in lambdas. What we capture is
usually chan<T> object, which itself is a pointer, so it should not make
a big difference in efficiency. It is also more safe to capture channels
by value, since that automatically incref/decref them and adds extra
protection wrt lifetime management bugs.

NOTE sending/receiving via channels from/to stack-based variables is
always safe - for both thread and gevent runtimes, as channels
implementation explicitly cares for this to work. Once again
"Implementation note" in 3b241983 has the details.

Give what() to PanicError so that uncaught panics give proper message on
std::terminate_handler crash instead of printing just "std::exception",
for example

    terminate called after throwing an instance of 'golang::PanicError'
      what():  chan: decref: free: recvq not empty

instead of

    terminate called after throwing an instance of 'golang::PanicError'
      what():  std::exception

- ThreadSanitizer helps to detect races and some memory errors,
- AddressSanitizer helps to detect memory errors,
- Python debug builds help to detect e.g reference counting errors.

Adding all those tools to testing coverage discovers e.g. the following
bugs (not a full list):

The bugs will be addressed in the followup patches.

Make it clear which scope is covered by with_lock(mu): instead of
implicitly having it from with_lock till end of current block

		with_lock(mu);
		...
	} // end of current block

make it to be the statement covered by with_lock, as if with_lock was
e.g. an `if`, for example:

	with_lock(mu)
		do_something();
	// mu released here

or

	with_lock(mu) {
		do_smth1();
		do_smth2();
	} // mu released here

This makes the intent in __chanselect2 more clear: it was

	ch->_mu.lock();
	with_lock(g->_mu);
		...
	ch->_mu.unlock();

and semantically human expects g->mu to be released _before_
ch->_mu.unlock(). However with current with_lock implementation, g->mu
will be released _after_ ch->_mu.unlock(), which goes against intuition.

-> By reworking with_lock implementation to cover only next statement or
block of code we make sure that g->_mu will be released _before_
ch->_mu - the same way as it was until 3b241983 (Port/move channels to
C/C++/Pyx):

	ch->_mu.lock();
	with_lock(g->_mu) {
		...
	}
	ch->_mu.unlock();

Be on safe side: both aspects - copy and move - are forbidden for all
those internal classes.

We already clear whole chan memory (struct _chan + channel buffer that
comes after it) on channel release. However, probably due to a thinko,
on creation path only struct _chan without buffer was cleared.

-> Be on the safe side and clear everything. Use zalloc helper to
automatically avoid bugs when size of allocation != size of clear.

I reported the bug (see 69db91bf "libgolang: Add internal
semaphores") to CPython and PyPy upstreams. PyPy people already fixed it
and the fix, if I understood correctly, should be available as part of
PyPy 7.2 . Let's hope that CPython 2.7 will be also fixed.

- https://bugs.python.org/issue38106
    -> https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/16047
- https://bitbucket.org/pypy/pypy/issues/3072

Added Python-level test triggers the bug with high probability.
Dedicated C-level Semaphore-only test is pending.

With WAIT_LOCK flag and correct usage PyThread_acquire_lock should never
fail, but let's be cautious and verify that it indeed succeeds to acquire
the lock.

The rest of external functions called by thread runtime either have void
return, or their return is checked.

- pytest cache
- pip wheel metadata
- tags (from ctags)
- vim swap files

In Python, %-formatting needs % operator, not ",".

chan<T> is a pointer type and e.g. send does not change the pointer - it
only "modifies" channel buffer. Marking appropriate methods as const is
needed so that `const chan<T>` could be used to send/receive the same
way as `chan <T>` is used.

ch->_mu was initialized with Sema - not Mutex - constructor.
It was appearing to work because currently Mutex is a trivial wrapper
around Sema.

As suggested by https://github.com/jayvdb run manifest checker and oops,
it finds that we forgot to include pyproject.toml for testprog/golang_pyx_user:

    missing from sdist:
      golang/pyx/testprog/golang_pyx_user/pyproject.toml
    suggested MANIFEST.in rules:
      recursive-include golang *.toml

-> Fix MANIFEST.in in generic way to include golang/*/*.toml

The bug was not affecting pygolang usage - only golang.pyx.build tests were
failing for sdist installed pygolang.

- Move channels implementation to be done in C++ inside libgolang. The
  code and logic is based on previous Python-level channels
  implementation, but the new code is just C++ and does not depend on
  Python nor GIL at all, and so works without GIL if libgolang
  runtime works without GIL(*).

  (*) for example "thread" runtime works without GIL, while "gevent" runtime
      acquires GIL on every semaphore acquire.

  New channels implementation is located in δ(libgolang.cpp).

- Provide low-level C channels API to the implementation. The low-level
  C API was inspired by Libtask[1] and Plan9/Libthread[2].

  [1] Libtask: a Coroutine Library for C and Unix. https://swtch.com/libtask.
  [2] http://9p.io/magic/man2html/2/thread.

- Provide high-level C++ channels API that provides type-safety and
  automatic channel lifetime management.

  Overview of C and C++ APIs are in δ(libgolang.h).

- Expose C++ channels API at Pyx level as Cython/nogil API so that Cython
  programs could use channels with ease and without need to care about
  lifetime management and low-level details.

  Overview of Cython/nogil channels API is in δ(README.rst) and
  δ(_golang.pxd).

- Turn Python channels to be tiny wrapper around chan<PyObject>.

Implementation note:

- gevent case needs special care because greenlet, which gevent uses,
  swaps coroutine stack from C stack to heap on coroutine park, and
  replaces that space on C stack with stack of activated coroutine
  copied back from heap. This way if an object on g's stack is accessed
  while g is parked it would be memory of another g's stack.

  The channels implementation explicitly cares about this issue so that
  stack -> * channel send, or * -> stack channel receive work correctly.

  It should be noted that greenlet approach, which it inherits from
  stackless, is not only a bit tricky, but also comes with overhead
  (stack <-> heap copy), and prevents a coroutine to migrate from 1 OS
  thread to another OS thread as that would change addresses of on-stack
  things for that coroutine.

  As the latter property prevents to use multiple CPUs even if the
  program / runtime are prepared to work without GIL, it would be more
  logical to change gevent/greenlet to use separate stack for each
  coroutine. That would remove stack <-> heap copy and the need for
  special care in channels implementation for stack - stack sends.
  Such approach should be possible to implement with e.g. swapcontext or
  similar mechanism, and a proof of concept of such work wrapped into
  greenlet-compatible API exists[3]. It would be good if at some point
  there would be a chance to explore such approach in Pygolang context.

This patch is the final patch in series to reach the goal of providing
channels that could be used in Cython/nogil code.

Cython/nogil channels work is dedicated to the memory of Вера Павловна Супрун[4].
