gh-106078: Move static objects related to CONTEXTVAR to the decimal module global state

[CharlieZhao95]

Move following objects related to the CONTEXTVAR to decimal module global state.

• tls_context_key
• cached_context
• current_context_var

• Issue: Isolate the _decimal extension module #106078

[CharlieZhao95]

I executed the build and unit tests locally as follows. The result looks good.

# build ./configure --without-decimal-contextvar make # unittest ./python -m test test_decimal cd ./Modules/_decimal/tests ./runall-memorydebugger.sh

BTW, do we have a CI pipeline that tests build with different compile options, such as --without-decimal-contextvar here. It seems that the current CI pipeline cannot detect build errors in the #ifndef WITH_DECIMAL_CONTEXTVAR block.

Instead of moving the entire struct, you can use forward declarations for the needed types.

A Python core developer has requested some changes be made to your pull request before we can consider merging it. If you could please address their requests along with any other requests in other reviews from core developers that would be appreciated.

Once you have made the requested changes, please leave a comment on this pull request containing the phrase I have made the requested changes; please review again. I will then notify any core developers who have left a review that you're ready for them to take another look at this pull request.

This is an alias for an anonymous struct. We cannot forward declare anonymous structs or typedefs :(

A solution is to name these structs. For example:

structPyDecContextObject; typedefstruct{... structPyDecContextObject*cached_context; ... } decimal_state; typedefstructPyDecContextObject{PyObject_HEADmpd_context_tctx; PyObject*traps; PyObject*flags; intcapitals; PyThreadState*tstate} PyDecContextObject;

There is no harm and now you can forward declare it.

It's no hinder that the structs are anonymous. C has solutions for that as well. Let me know if you need a hint.

Alternatively, add a name to them. There is no harm in that, and it is quite normal throughout the code base.

Examples:

• Modules/cjkcodecs/multibytecodec.h
• Include/pytypedefs.h

I don't know if your solution is to move the typedef struct{...} struct_name; to the top of the .c file or into the .h file. If not, please let me know!

Thanks! I prefer to add names to these structures :)

Tested locally with ./configure --without-decimal-contextvar. LGTM.
