Currently libgolang_test.cpp contains tests for code in libgolang.cpp and
for code that lives in other libgolang packages - sync, fmt, etc. It is
becoming tight and we are going to split libgolang_test.cpp and move
package tests to their corresponing files - e.g. to sync_test.cpp and
the like.

Move common assertion utilities into shared header before that as a
preparatory step.

Just use builtins and cimported things that we have at pyx level.

U is preffered way to make sure an object is unicode string.

This will allow to integrate qq with u in the next patch.

Moving to compiled code for string processing functions is also
generally better for performance.

With Python3 I've got tired to constantly use .encode() and .decode();
getting exception if original argument was unicode on e.g. b.decode();
getting exception on raw bytes that are invalid UTF-8, not being able to
use bytes literal with non-ASCII characters, etc.

So instead of this pain provide two functions that make sure an object
is either bytes or unicode:

- b converts str/unicode/bytes s to UTF-8 encoded bytestring.

	Bytes input is preserved as-is:

	   b(bytes_input) == bytes_input

	Unicode input is UTF-8 encoded. The encoding always succeeds.
	b is reverse operation to u - the following invariant is always true:

	   b(u(bytes_input)) == bytes_input

- u converts str/unicode/bytes s to unicode string.

	Unicode input is preserved as-is:

	   u(unicode_input) == unicode_input

	Bytes input is UTF-8 decoded. The decoding always succeeds and input
	information is not lost: non-valid UTF-8 bytes are decoded into
	surrogate codes ranging from U+DC80 to U+DCFF.
	u is reverse operation to b - the following invariant is always true:

	   u(b(unicode_input)) == unicode_input

NOTE: encoding _and_ decoding *never* fail nor loose information. This
is achieved by using 'surrogateescape' error handler on Python3, and
providing manual fallback that behaves the same way on Python2.

The naming is chosen with the idea so that b(something) resembles
b"something", and u(something) resembles u"something".

This, even being only a part of strings solution discussed in [1],
should help handle byte- and unicode- strings in more robust and
distraction free way.

Top-level documentation is TODO.

This continues 60f6db6f (libgolang: Provide nil as alias for nullptr and
NULL): I've tried to compile pygolang with Clang on my Debian 10
workstation and got:

It seems with GCC and Clang under macOS nullptr_t is automatically provided in
builtin namespace, while with older Clang on Linux (clang version 7.0.1-8) only
in std:: namespace - rightfully as nullptr_t is described to be present there:

https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/types/nullptr_t

This way we either have to correct all occurrences of nullptr_t to
std::nullptr_t, or do something similar with providing nil under golang:: .

To reduce noise I prefer the later and let it be named as Nil.

The code was assigning nil to local, _not_ global _tblockforever. As a
result _tblockforever was left set with a test hook even after leaving
test context. Fix it.

The bug was there starting from 3b241983 (Port/move channels to
C/C++/Pyx).

Had to change `= nil` to `= NULL` because with nil Cython complains as

        def __exit__(pypanicWhenBlocked t, typ, val, tb):
            global _tblockforever
            _tblockforever = nil
                            ^

    golang/_golang_test.pyx:86:25: Cannot assign type 'nullptr_t' to 'void (*)(void) nogil'

This is https://github.com/cython/cython/issues/3314.

It's a leftover originating from b073f6df (time: Move/Port timers to
C++/Pyx nogil).

Instead of `pyctx.ctx = nil` it was just `ctx = nil` - i.e. assign nil
to local variable instead of changing pyctx instance data. We were not
observing this bug because Cython, for C++ fields of cdef classes,
automatically emits in-place destructor calls in generated __dealloc__

    https://github.com/cython/cython/blob/0.29.14-11-g8c620c388/Cython/Compiler/ModuleNode.py#L1477-L1478

and so this way there was no leak. However we want to be explicit and the
code was not correct. Fix it.

The bug was there from 2a359791 (context: Move/Port context package to
C++/Pyx nogil).

Convert Pyx part of the project to use nil instead of NULL.

Not every usage of NULL was converted and some places were left to use
NULL where changing it to nil currently hits Cython compilation error:

https://github.com/cython/cython/issues/3314

Convert C++ part of the project to use nil instead of NULL/nullptr.

We do not convert pyx part yet, because Cython currently does not
understand that nullptr_t has properties of NULL and with e.g. the
following change

Projects that use pyx.build (ex. wendelin.core) need recent
setuptools_dso fixes:

https://github.com/mdavidsaver/setuptools_dso/issues/5
https://github.com/mdavidsaver/setuptools_dso/commit/67d717a6
https://github.com/mdavidsaver/setuptools_dso/commit/e40f5883
https://github.com/mdavidsaver/setuptools_dso/commit/40b492ab

Increase setuptools_dso version in pygolang's build requirement for
uniformity as well.

Providing pygolang-specific DSO is needed because using just
setuptools_dso.DSO in external project will result in that e.g.
"<golang/libgolang.h>" won't be found.

This release is driven by wendelin.core v2 needs with one of the changes
being that now most of the library was moved into nogil code and can be
used fully from inside nogil world(*). Python modules are now just wrappers
of their nogil counterparts. The way for Python and nogil worlds to
communicate is also provided.

The move to nogil required many other enhancements along the way. Please
see CHANGELOG for overview.

The move to nogil brought some speedup automatically.
Below are benchmark results of this release compared to pygolang v0.0.4
(1573d101) for python-level benchmarks (we have only those at present):

workgroup_* changes for thread runtime is the speedup I am talking about.
defer/func_call slowdown is due to added exception chaining. We did not
optimize Python-level defer yet, and if/when that would be needed, it should
be possible to optimize by moving pydefer implementation into Cython.

(*) go and channels were moved into nogil world in Pygolang v0.0.3 +
v0.0.4 . Now it is the rest of the library that was moved with packages
like context, time, sync etc.

wendelin.core v2 needs nogil to run pinner thread on client side to
support isolation property in cooperation with wcfs: since there is a
`client -> wcfs -> pinner` loop:

      - - - - - -
     |           |
        pinner <------.
     |           |   wcfs
        client -------^
     |           |
      - - - - - -
     client process

the pinner thread would deadlock if it tries to take the GIL because
client thread can be holding GIL already while accessing wcfs-mmaped
memory (think doing e.g. `x = A[i]` in Python).

For base functionality we have overview in the readme itself, but for
packages we have only their listing with brief overview and no
documentation for in-package functionality.

Let's have at least links to .h/.pxd/.py where package functionality is
documented.

See commit 5a99b769 (libgolang: Start providing interfaces) for context.

Provide top-level documentation for memory management facilities that
was marked as TODO in refptr & co matches. See e.g. the following
commits for context:

- e82b4fab (libgolang: Objects refcounting (initial draft))
- b2253abf (libgolang: Rename refobj -> object)
- fd2a6fab (libgolang: Fix globals atexit race condition of ~refptr vs
  access from another thread)

defer is now part of libgolang API (see 1d153a45 "libgolang: Expose
defer as public C++ API"). It should be explained in top-level overview.

This amends commit b073f6df: clang was complaining that _Ticker/_Timer
were forward-declared as class, but later declared as struct:

    ./golang/time.h:107:1: warning: '_Ticker' defined as a struct here but previously declared as a class [-Wmismatched-tags]
    struct _Ticker : object {
    ^
    ./golang/time.h:77:1: note: did you mean struct here?
    class _Ticker;
    ^~~~~
    struct
    ./golang/time.h:140:1: warning: '_Timer' defined as a struct here but previously declared as a class [-Wmismatched-tags]
    struct _Timer : object {
    ^
    ./golang/time.h:78:1: note: did you mean struct here?
    class _Timer;
    ^~~~~
    struct

-> Fix it by using struct. Also used inline style inside refptr.

Race condition inside PyThread_release_lock should have been fixed on
both CPython/darwin and PyPy/darwin:

    https://github.com/python/cpython/commit/c5abd63e94fc
    https://bitbucket.org/pypy/pypy/commits/6cd7a0d1a940
    https://bitbucket.org/pypy/pypy/commits/a9d36d6af872

The bug is explained here:

    https://bugs.python.org/issue38106
    https://bitbucket.org/pypy/pypy/issues/3072

The following commits added tests for the bug on Pygolang side:

    34b7a1f4 (golang: Expose Sema and Mutex as public Python and Cython/nogil API)
    5142460d (libgolang/thread: Add links to upstream PyThread_release_lock bug)

Provide string utilities to verify whether string has suffix/prefix,
trim it, and split string by a delimiter. The code originated in wcfs
codebase in wendelin.core .

Pyx/nogil only.

With fmt.sprintf() and fmt.errorf() to format strings and errors. The
code was extracted from wcfs in wendelin.core .

Pyx/nogil only.

std::string is frequently too cumbersome. Providing string in golang::
namespace allows to have a more closer feel of a Go environment after
`using namespace golang`.

This ammends 33cf3113: Kill now unused imports.

Fixes: 4fc6e49c (time: Factor-out PyFunc into shared library libpyxruntime.so)

A deferred function can raise exception and this exception itself can
have .__context__ - consider for example if B1 is raised and its chain
is B1->B2->B3. Before calling that deferred function, we save
then-current exception A1 into GoFrame.exc_ctx and link-to .exc_ctx after
the call. We were previously trying to link-to .exc_ctx from raised
exception itself - i.e. B1 in the above example which is not correct:
B1 was raised while B2 was being raised ... etc and it was B3 who was
raised after A1. The consequence was that A1 was list, since B1 already
had non-empty .__context__

-> Fix it by linking-to A1 from B3, not from B1. In other words by
linking-to .exc_ctx chain from tail of exception chain of raised
exception.

We can be sure that updated test is correct because it passes under
Python3 where exception chaining is implemented natively.

Fixes: bb9a94c3 (golang: Teach defer to chain exceptions (PEP 3134) even on Python2)

Defer support for exception chaining on Python2 (see bb9a94c3 "golang:
Teach defer to chain exceptions (PEP 3134) even on Python2") simulates
PEP 3134 by manually setting and chaining exc .__context__, .__cause__
and .__traceback__: if exceptions are thrown by several deferred
functions they are linked into exception chain via .__context__
attribute. Defer support in @func also makes sure that any exception
that comes out of a function has all those PEP 3134 attributes and
presets them to their default values if exception object did not have
them initially. In particular .__context__ is preset to None for first
raised exception.

There was a logic error in chaining handling: .__context__ was glued to
previously raised exception only if current exception object did not
have .__context__ attribute at all. And this was failing to chain them
if current exception was raised from under another function wrapped in
@func, because GoFrame wrapping that function makes sure to set
curexc.__context__=None and oops - it was not changed later.

-> Fix chaining implementation by gluing .__context__ either if there is
no such attribute in current exception, or if .__context__ is None.

This is correct to do since .__context__, by its definition, represents
implicitly / automatically chained exceptions - contrary to .__cause__
which is explicitly set and would be incorrect to automatically change
from None to something. We also know that the end result is the same as
Python3 behaviour since updated tests (see bellow) pass OK also when run
under Python3 where exceptions chaining is implemented by Python runtime
natively.

Update test_defer_excchain() in golang_test.py, which verifies how
raised exceptions are chained.

No need to update testprog/golang_test_defer_excchain.{py,txt} since the
test there verifies that our traceback dumper is correctly hooked into
Python interpreter - where we know that exceptions are already chained
correctly and we verify only that automatic traceback dump takes this
chaining into account.

Fixes: bb9a94c3 (golang: Teach defer to chain exceptions (PEP 3134) even on Python2)

Since realpath was used to find out pygolang dir, it will give different
prefix compared to what actual prefix of __file__ is if __file__ was
imported through some symlinked directory. And it is the actual
__file__ that is included into traceback - not its realpath'ed version.

This was breaking for example like this on py27-gevent tox tests:

    __file__:          '.../pygolang/.tox/py27-gevent/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/golang/golang_test.py'

Until now we were defining errors like this:

    const error ErrSomething  = errors::New("abc");

However there is a problem here: the runtime will call ErrSomething
destructor on program exit, and for refptr<T> the destructor does 2
things: a) decrefs the object, and b) switches embedded pointer to NULL;

If another thread is still running both "a" and "b" can become race
conditions if that T2 uses ErrSomething via e.g. just

    ...
    if (err == ErrSomething)
        ...

Here is, for example TSAN report about ErrPyStopped usage when accessed by timer thread:

    SUMMARY: ThreadSanitizer: data race golang/libgolang.h:525 in golang::refptr<golang::_error>::refptr(golang::refptr<golang::_error> const&)

-> Fix it by not deallocating the object, nor clearing the pointer on smart pointer destruction.

To do so in ergonomic way introduce another template type global<X>,
which can be used instead of X and change types of all global error
variables from `const error` to `const global<error>`. Don't change pxd
to offload pyx users from thinking about global/not-global aspect.

Top-level documentation is TODO.

Provide sync.WorkGroup that can be used directly from C++ and Pyx/nogil codes.
Python-level sync.WorkGroup becomes a wrapper around pyx/nogil one.

Like with context (2a359791 "context: Move/Port context package to
C++/Pyx nogil"), timers (b073f6df "time: Move/Port timers to C++/Pyx
nogil") and interfaces (5a99b769 "libgolang: Start providing
interfaces") memory for on-heap allocated WorkGroup is managed
automatically.

Python-level tests should be enough to cover C++/Pyx functionality at
zero-level approximation.

This amends commit 34b7a1f4: Fix copy-paste typo in _sync_test.pyx
description.

This amends commit 40f3b90c: sync.Sema is not provided in Go version.

We will soon land WorkGroup into sync.pyx; Before that let's renamge
WaitGroup helpers to avoid ambiguity of what "wg" means - WaitGroup or
WorkGroup?

This amends b316e504 (sync: Move/Port WaitGroup to C++/Pyx nogil).

sync.PyWorkGroup will need to wrap raw Context into PyContext for
spawned workers.

- Add PyError class that wraps Python exception;
- change PyFunc::operator() return from void -> to error, which might be
  either PyError or special error indicating that Python interpreter is
  stopped.
- Provide way to reraise that Python exception.

We will need to see which exception, if any, PyFunc call raised in
sync.PyWorkGroup, where this python-level exception will need to be
propagated to PyWorkGroup.wait() and reraised from there.

pygil_ensure() was taking pyexitedMu and then GIL, which can deadlock
via AB BA scenario if pygil_ensure() is also called in another thread
with GIL already held.

-> Fix it by always taking GIL with pyexitedMu released.

Without the fix the test added always hangs with thread backend, e.g.
like this:

    golang/pyx/runtime_test.py::test_pyx_pyfunc_vs_gil_deadlock
    STUCK
    terminate called after throwing an instance of 'golang::PanicError'
      what():  STUCK
    Fatal Python error: Aborted

The bug was introduced in b073f6df (time: Move/Port timers to C++/Pyx nogil).

Commit b073f6df (time: Move/Port timers to C++/Pyx nogil) added C++
level PyFunc as a way to call Python function from under nogil code.
We will soon need this functionality for sync.WorkGroup too, so move it
into shared place.

We move into regular library - not a pyx module (e.g. golang.pyx) -
because for pyx modules linking is done at import time by specially
generated code, while we need the linker support to automatically
resolve e.g. calls to PyFunc::operator() from inside std::function.

In the next patch we are going to move PyFunc from time.pyx into shared
library. Before doing that let's provide DSO visibility macros from
libgolang.h to offload other libraries from duplicating dance on how to
mark symbols visibility properly depending on compiler/OS.
