This updates `dtoa.c` to avoid using the Bigint free-list in --disable-gil builds and to pre-computes the needed powers of 5 during interpreter initialization. * gh-111962: Make dtoa thread-safe in `--disable-gil` builds. This avoids using the Bigint free-list in `--disable-gil` builds and pre-computes the needed powers of 5 during interpreter initialization. * Fix size of cached powers of 5 array. We need the powers of 5 up to 5**512 because we only jump straight to underflow when the exponent is less than -512 (or larger than 308). * Rename Py_NOGIL to Py_GIL_DISABLED * Changes from review * Fix assertion placement
The Python C API ================ The C API is divided into these sections: 1. ``Include/``: Limited API 2. ``Include/cpython/``: CPython implementation details 3. ``Include/cpython/``, names with the ``PyUnstable_`` prefix: API that can change between minor releases 4. ``Include/internal/``, and any name with ``_`` prefix: The internal API Information on changing the C API is available `in the developer guide`_ .. _in the developer guide: https://devguide.python.org/c-api/
