 - shouldn't unnecessarily mix bit ops with arithmetic ops (style)
 - this pattern should be spelt the same way thoughout (consistency)
 - it's very very very slightly faster: no need to worry about

A missing 'const' wasn't detected by Visual Studio.

The debug memory api now keeps track of which external API (PyMem_* or PyObject_*) was used to allocate each block and treats any API violation as an error.  Added separate _PyMem_DebugMalloc functions for the Py_Mem API instead of having it use the _PyObject_DebugMalloc functions.

A memory block allocated with one API was being handed over to an object that used another API to release it.

Closes issue 6606.

error messages during the build.

to make sure it fell within [-1, 1] just in case someone implementing
strftime() in libc was stupid enough to assume this. Turns out, though, some
OSs (e.g. zOS) are stupid enough to use values outside of this range for time
structs created by the system itself. So instead of throwing a ValueError,
tm_isdst is now normalized before being passed to strftime().

Fixes issue #6823. Thanks Robert Shapiro for diagnosing the problem and
contributing an initial patch.

IO library.
