C API: Rename _PyThreadState_GetUnchecked() to public PyThreadState_GetUnchecked · Issue #108867 · python/cpython (original) (raw)
The _PyThreadState_UncheckedGet() function was added in Python 3.5 (2016) by issue #70342 with commit bfd316e. I was asked by PyPy developers to have an API to get the current thread state, but don't call Py_FatalError() if it's NULL. See: https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2016-January/142767.html
In Python 3.13, I'm trying to remove private functions from the public C API: issue #106320.
Since _PyThreadState_UncheckedGet() had at least one user and exposing this API is revelant, I propose renaming the private _PyThreadState_UncheckedGet() function to PyThreadState_GetUnchecked() and so make it public, but not added it to the limited C API (not needed).
For the function name, see: capi-workgroup/problems#52 I propose to use the Unsafe suffix for "unsafe" function. Previously, the function used Unchecked, but it wasn't a suffix!
UPDATE: I renamed PyThreadState_GetUnsafe() to PyThreadState_GetUnchecked().
