Summary

  • Apply CPython 3.15's pointer-width F_HANDLE / F_POINTER bitfield conversion to six single-argument _winapi functions: CloseHandle, DeregisterEventSource, GetExitCodeProcess, GetModuleFileName, UnmapViewOfFile, and VirtualQuerySize.
  • Apply CPython’s 32-bit unsigned-long k conversion to _winapi.GetStdHandle, including negative standard-handle constants. Accept integer and __index__ inputs, preserve the relevant low bits, and warn on out-of-range values. A warning promoted to an error stops before the Windows call.
  • Bind the raw argument before conversion, so malformed keyword calls cannot run the new conversion first. Keep the original object alive through the operation and construction of its return value. Builtin integer inputs are borrowed without an extra Python integer allocation.
  • Keep the shared WinHandle conversion and return representation unchanged for other APIs.

This is a scoped input-conversion improvement, not a claim of full parity for these seven APIs. In particular, RustPython's existing __index__ diagnostic behavior has edge differences, and GetModuleFileName retains its existing error and UTF-16 handling differences, and GetStdHandle retains the existing signed representation of high-bit returned handles.

Validation

  • Compared the seven generated Clinic wrappers and the k/K converters with CPython 3.15.0 source. CPython-only C-API probes checked 64-bit boundaries, masking, warnings, __index__, argument errors and multibyte type-name truncation, plus 32-bit unsigned-long boundaries and standard-handle values.
  • Independent source review and normal repository hooks passed. No new snippet or Rust-hosted Python behavior tests were added.
  • RustPython was not executed locally; Windows compile/runtime validation remains for CI.
  • A staged integration with Align Windows API callable signatures #9572 and Mask Windows single-wait timeouts #9574 retains their parameter names and timeout conversion; the two Align Windows API callable signatures #9572 source conflicts require those reviewed resolutions if the changes land together.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Windows API functions now accept integer-like objects for handle and address arguments, including objects that support integer conversion.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Invalid argument conversions are reported before the Windows API is called, with clearer errors for unsupported values.
    • Values outside the supported bit width continue to be converted using their masked value and now emit a deprecation warning.

Match pointer-width bitfield conversion for six single-argument _winapi functions while preserving argument lifetime through each operation.

Walkthrough

The change adds pointer-width and 32-bit bitfield conversions for Python objects. Seven Windows API wrappers use these conversions for handle or address arguments and explicitly construct Python return values.

Changes: Windows handle argument conversion

Layer / File(s) Summary
Bitfield conversion rules
crates/vm/src/windows.rs
WinHandle now converts integers and __index__ objects at pointer width or 32 bits. Out-of-range values are masked and trigger a deprecation warning.
Windows API wrapper integration
crates/vm/src/stdlib/_winapi.rs
Seven wrappers convert Python object arguments before calling Windows APIs. They explicitly construct None, integer, string, or optional-handle results.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: Minimal · up to 1dc6e

No concrete merge-blocking defect was identified. The recommended Windows tests would protect negative handle selectors and ensure warning errors prevent handle closure. Merge after normal Windows checks pass.

Explanation

The title "Convert Windows handle bitfields" matches the main change. The PR applies pointer-width handle and unsigned-long bitfield conversions to six _winapi functions and to GetStdHandle, and adds the WinHandle bitfield helpers in windows.rs. The title is short and specific, and a reviewer scanning history would understand the primary change. It does not name the affected functions, but that detail is not required.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 20.00% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 10 functions across 2 files.

Resolution

Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.

Add a Windows-only regression test for negative GetStdHandle selectors.

_winapi.GetStdHandle converts its argument as a 32-bit unsigned value. -10 and 0xFFFFFFF6 produce the same handle selector. No test in this checkout calls GetStdHandle. A change that rejects negative selectors during conversion would not fail any test.

Add a snippet that runs only on Windows. Import _winapi after the platform check, as extra_tests/snippets/stdlib_winapi.py does:

Suggested test
import sys

if sys.platform != "win32":
    sys.exit(0)

import _winapi

# -10 (STD_INPUT_HANDLE) must convert and match its unsigned 32-bit form.
# Do not require a non-None result: an absent standard handle returns None.
assert _winapi.GetStdHandle(-10) == _winapi.GetStdHandle(0xFFFFFFF6)

Add a regression test for CloseHandle when the out-of-range warning is raised as an error.

CloseHandle returns at the ? after from_bitfield when that warning becomes an error. The handle stays open on this path. No snippet test covers it.

Add a test to extra_tests/snippets/stdlib_winapi.py that:

  • Creates a process with CreateProcess, as the existing block does, and keeps its handle.
  • Computes an out-of-range value that masks to that handle. Use the handle value plus 2**64 on 64-bit builds and plus 2**32 on 32-bit builds.
  • Sets DeprecationWarning to an error inside warnings.catch_warnings(). Checks that CloseHandle raises.
  • Checks that the handle is still usable. For example, call GetExitCodeProcess on it and assert that it succeeds.
  • Closes the handle in a finally: block.

The masked value must come from a handle the test owns. A regression that closes the handle then affects only that handle. This test performs a real close if the regression exists, so note that exception in the file's header description.

Recommendation notes
  • Keep the warning filter inside catch_warnings() so it does not leak to later checks.
  • Confirm the test on Windows CI. This environment did not run it.
