The change in the mini language floating point and decimal table
is consistent with 'Exponential notation' and clarifies that we
are referring to the output notation, not an object type.

* Fix compilation warning in _ctypes module on Window

(cherry picked from commit 20f11fe4)

* Fix compilation warnings on Windows 64-bit

(cherry picked from commit 725e4212)

* Fix compiler warning in unicodeobject.c

Explicitly case to Py_UNICODE to fix the warning:

Objects\unicodeobject.c(4225): warning C4244: '=' :
conversion from 'long' to 'Py_UNICODE', possible loss of data

The downcast cannot overflow since we check that value <= 0x10ffff.

Use a local scope for the 'i' variable.

Fixed bpo-29565: Corrected ctypes passing of large structs by value.

Added code and test to check that when a structure passed by value
is large enough to need to be passed by reference, a copy of the
original structure is passed. The callee updates the passed-in value,
and the test verifies that the caller's copy is unchanged. A similar
change was also added to the test added for bpo-20160 (that test was
passing, but the changes should guard against regressions).

Added missing .grab_release() calls to all places where we call .grab_set().

one.

When hunting memory leaks using -R 3:3, test_imap_unordered() of
test_multiprocessing leaks randomly a few memory blocks. It is a
false alarm: when testing using -R 3:20 for example, no leak is
detected.

Modify test_imap_unordered() to be closer to test_imap():

* Only test 10 numbers instead of 1000: it's a pool of 4 processes, so
  10 is enough to test at least one number per process
* Use chunksize=100 instead of chunksize=53 to mimick test_imap()
