hgweb: remove dead code handling UnicodeDecodeError I’m quite confident that the error can’t happen on Python 3, as the main motivation for separating bytes and str in Python 3 was to avoid this class of errors.

cleanup: remove import of already imported module

cleanup: rename some functions to avoid redefinitions

thirdparty: remove Python 2-specific selectors2 copy The selectors module was added in Python 3.4. Because we require Python 3.6, it will always be available. Therefore the selectors2 module is not imported. I’ve verified that the selectors2-specific workaround in commandserver.py is not necessary with the selectors module from the standard library. It returns an empty list if timeout was exceeded. The pytype directive was needed to silence the following error: File "/tmp/mercurial-ci/mercurial/worker.py", line 299, in _posixworker: No attribute 'close' on int [attribute-error] In Union[_typeshed.HasFileno, int] File "/tmp/mercurial-ci/mercurial/worker.py", line 299, in _posixworker: No attribute 'close' on _typeshed.HasFileno [attribute-error] In Union[_typeshed.HasFileno, int]

branching: merge stable into default

chg: replace mercurial.util.recvfds() by simpler pure Python implementation On Python 3, we have socket.socket.recvmsg(). This makes it possible to receive FDs in pure Python code. The new code behaves like the previous implementations, except that it’s more strict about the format of the ancillary data. This works because we know in which format the FDs are passed. Because the code is (and always has been) specific to chg (payload is 1 byte, number of passed FDs is limited) and we now have only one implementation and the code is very short, I decided to stop exposing a function in mercurial.util. Note on terminology: The SCM_RIGHTS mechanism is used to share open file descriptions to another process over a socket. The sending side passes an array of file descriptors and the receiving side receives an array of file descriptors. The file descriptors are different in general on both sides but refer to the same open file descriptions. The two terms are often conflated, even in the official documentation. That’s why I used “FD” above, which could mean both “file descriptor” and “file description”.

parsers: drop one extra argument to PyErr_Format GCC gave the following warning during `make local`: mercurial/cext/parsers.c: In function 'dirstate_item_from_v1_data': mercurial/cext/parsers.c:413:30: warning: too many arguments for format [-Wformat-extra-args] 413 | "unknown state: `%c` (%d, %d, %d)", state, mode, | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ To reproduce, you might need to add the -Wformat-extra-args flag, because it isn't present for me when building for the default python3. But I can see this warning while simply building 6.1 with `make PYTHON=python2 clean local`. I don't think this NULL was useful, because other instances of PyErr_Format() don't have any NULLs as the final argument, but keep in mind that I don't know python's C API.

search-discovery-case: update documentation of a function We return data, it is simpler when we know what these data means.

worker: avoid potential partial write of pickled data Previously, the code wrote the pickled data using os.write(). However, os.write() can write less bytes than passed to it. To trigger the problem, the pickled data had to be larger than 2147479552 bytes on my system. Instead, open a file object and pass it to pickle.dump(). This also has the advantage that it doesn’t buffer the whole pickled data in memory. Note that the opened file must be buffered because pickle doesn’t support unbuffered streams because unbuffered streams’ write() method might write less bytes than passed to it (like os.write()) but pickle.dump() relies on that all bytes are written (see https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/93050). The side effect of using a file object and a with statement is that wfd is explicitly closed now while it seems like before it was implicitly closed by process exit.

mr-template: drop the "title and description" I though I would affect the template in the menu itself, however it just a normal piece of text that should not be here.
