The _PyRuntime.ceval structure should be made "per-interpreter". I don't want to make the GIL per-interpreter: that's out of the scope of this issue. So I propose to only move a few fields to make more ceval fields "per interpreter".

While trying to move pending to PyInterpreterState, I hit in issue in _PyEval_AddPendingCall(): signal.raise_signal() can call it with tstate=NULL. See https://bugs.python.org/issue37127#msg364489

I moved pending calls to PyInterpreterState. There are remaining issues with using pending calls in subinterpreters, but I propose to continue the discussion in bpo-37127.

Awesome! Thanks for doing this, Victor. I'll take a look when I can and adjust the changes for bpo-33608. If you'll recall, I made a similar change as part of the solution for that issue, which we later reverted due to problems we discovered with daemon threads during runtime finalization.

If you'll recall, I made a similar change as part of the solution for that issue, which we later reverted due to problems we discovered with daemon threads during runtime finalization. I recall the revert dance, yeah. It took one year to fix the daemon threads and related issues! So far, buildbots look happy. I also ran many manual tests which makes me confident that the code is now reliable even with all recent changes done for isolating thread states.

I reopen the issue because of bpo-40082 "trip_signal() gets NULL tstate on Windows on CTRL+C" regression.
