When compiling to C++ code and using automatic conversion from Python
str to C++ string, Cython inserts this function template but generates the warning:
warning: string.from_py:15:63: local variable 'length' might be referenced before assignment

Issue: #2541

I was going to use posix_madvise(POSIX_MADV_DONTNEED) in my tests to
make sure a memory page should be evicted from kernel cache, but found
out that this operation is hardcoded to be NOOP on Glibc/Linux systems:

https://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=blob;f=sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/posix_madvise.c;h=c89fa64f0749;hb=HEAD#l25
https://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=commitdiff;h=8889e7aa461a

On the other hand, as also verified by strace, `madvise(MADV_DONTNEED)`
is not a NOOP as it actually goes to kernel by making syscall.

Since it is not possible to use posix_madvise for what should be
POSIX_MADV_DONTNEED behaviour, let's add all raw madvise behaviour flags
as documented on http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/madvise.2.html

Presumably MADV_NORMAL and other behaviours that should translate 1-1 to
POSIX ones were omitted in 59ac9991 (Add pxd for mmap & friends
from "sys/mman.h" covering POSIX/Linux/BSD) to make people use the
standardised POSIX interface. However given that it turned out to be not
possible to use posix_madvise for all standard behaviours,
system-specific madvise behaviours have to be used.

PyGILState_STATE was added in commit 3fd6fdce (Gilnanny + pystate.pxd)
with struct type on-purpose different from what CPython actually uses
with the idea so that PyGILState_STATE cannot be coerced into int.

However as it is, it prevents PyGILState_STATE usage:

	cdef PyGILState_STATE gstate = PyGILState_Ensure()

gives

	Variable type 'PyGILState_STATE' is incomplete

Fix it by making PyGILState_STATE a defined structure.

mmap returns void* and indicates failure via MAP_FAILED that is defined
to be ((void *)-1). Every mmap call has to be checked for failure and
thus posix.mman with mmap, but without MAP_FAILED is not very useful.

We cannot declare MAP_FAILED as enum, because enum assumes int. However
Cython documentation says

	4. If the header file uses macros to define constants, translate
	   them into a normal external variable declaration. ...

	(https://cython.readthedocs.io/en/latest/src/userguide/external_C_code.html#referencing-c-header-files)

So add proper declaration for MAP_FAILED to make posix.mman.mmap usable.

mlock2 is Linux-specific version of mlock that accepts flags. The only
flag available so far is MLOCK_ONFAULT which asks to lock pages only at
the time when they are faulted in, not in the beginning. MCL_ONFAULT is
Linux-specific flag to mlockall which requests similar behaviour.

Closes GH-3023.

Pythran assumes shapes are shapes of long, whatever the underlying
architecture.

Currently Cython generates code like this:

     int __Pyx_InitCachedBuiltins(void) {
         __pyx_builtin_NAME = __Pyx_GetBuiltinName(...);
         if (!__pyx_builtin_NAME) __PYX_ERR(1, 44, __pyx_L1_error)
     }

     int __pyx_pymod_exec_MODULE(PyObject *__pyx_pyinit_module) {
         if (__Pyx_InitCachedBuiltins() < 0) __PYX_ERR(1, 1, __pyx_L1_error)
     }

When InitCachedBuiltins and InitCachedConstants call __PYX_ERR, they
pass the file and line where a builtin is used, but then pymod_exec
overwrites it with 1 and 1, and the error message looks like this:

       File "FILE", line 1, in init MODULE.
         import os
     NameError: name 'NAME' is not defined

After this change Cython generates:

     int __pyx_pymod_exec_MODULE(PyObject *__pyx_pyinit_module) {
         if (__Pyx_InitCachedBuiltins() < 0) goto __pyx_L1_error;
     }

and prints:

       File "FILE", line 44, in init MODULE.
         print(NAME)
     NameError: name 'NAME' is not defined

CPython bpo-37221 reverts that backwards incompatible
change to the PyCode_New API, replacing it with a new
PyCode_NewWithPosOnlyArgs function.

The regex to match the gdb version is not intended to be interpreted as a regular string, it is designed to be used as-is as a regex.  This lets python know that minor detail.

And make it more flexible in terms of API change.
