The code for Tier 2 is now only compiled when configured with `--enable-experimental-jit[=yes|interpreter]`. We drop support for `PYTHON_UOPS` and -`Xuops`, but you can disable the interpreter or JIT at runtime by setting `PYTHON_JIT=0`. You can also build it without enabling it by default using `--enable-experimental-jit=yes-off`; enable with `PYTHON_JIT=1`. On Windows, the `build.bat` script supports `--experimental-jit`, `--experimental-jit-off`, `--experimental-interpreter`. In the C code, `_Py_JIT` is defined as before when the JIT is enabled; the new variable `_Py_TIER2` is defined when the JIT *or* the interpreter is enabled. It is actually a bitmask: 1: JIT; 2: default-off; 4: interpreter.
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/
