6aeae9c311 Fix py::trampoline_self_life_support visibility in docs (#5766)
C++ classes default inheritance rule is private.
I believe py::trampoline_self_life_support must be public to work correctly.

07d028f218 feat: Embeded sub-interpreters (#5666)
* First draft a subinterpreter embedding API

* Move subinterpreter tests to their own file

* Migrate subinterpreter tests to use the new embedded class.

* Add a test for moving subinterpreters across threads for destruction

And find a better way to make that work.

* Code organization

* Add a test which shows demostrates how gil_scoped interacts with sub-interpreters

* Add documentation for embeded sub-interpreters

* Some additional docs work

* Add some convenience accessors

* Add some docs cross references

* Sync some things that were split out into #5665

* Update subinterpreter docs example to not use the CPython api

* Fix pip test

* style: pre-commit fixes

* Fix MSVC warnings

I am surprised other compilers allowed this code with a deleted move ctor.

* Add some sub-headings to the docs

* Oops, make_unique is C++14 so remove it from the tests.

* I think this fixes the EndInterpreter issues on all versions.

It just has to be ifdef'd because it is slightly broken on 3.12, working well on 3.13, and kind of crashy on 3.14beta.  These two verion ifdefs solve all the issues.

* Add a note about exceptions.

They contain Python object references and acquire the GIL, that means they are a danger with subinterpreters!

* style: pre-commit fixes

* Add try/catch to docs examples to match the tips

* Python 3.12 is very picky about this first PyThreadState

Try special casing the destruction on the same thread.

* style: pre-commit fixes

* Missed a rename in a ifdef block

* I think this test is causing problems in 3.12, so try ifdefing it to see if the problems go away.

* style: pre-commit fixes

* Document the 3.12 constraints with a warning

* Apply suggestions from code review

9afc9c4ffb feat: change PYBIND11_EMBEDDED_MODULE to multiphase init (#5665)
* Move embedded modules to multiphase init

So that they too can support multi-interpreter and nogil tags

* Update the multiple interpreter test for embedded module changes

* Add a note to embedded module docs about the new tags

* Oops, missed a warning pop

* Remove unused variable

* Update ci.yml

* Fix this embedded GIL test for free-threading

* Oops, need to use ptr() here

* This test created a subinterpreter when PYBIND11_SUBINTERPRETER_SUPPORT was off

So the fix is really this test should not be run in these older versions at all.

The hang was a GIL issue between the subinterpreters during pybind11::exception::what().

* fix: standard mutex for 3.13t

2943a27a14 squash-merge smart_holder branch into master (#5542)
* Pure `git merge --squash smart_holder` (no manual interventions).

* Remove ubench/ directory.

* Remove include/pybind11/smart_holder.h

* [ci skip] smart_ptrs.rst updates [WIP/unfinished]

* [ci skip] smart_ptrs.rst updates continued; also updating classes.rst, advanced/classes.rst

* Remove README_smart_holder.rst

* Restore original README.rst from master

* [ci skip] Minimal change to README.rst, to leave a hint that this is pybind11v3

* [ci skip] Work in ChatGPT suggestions.

* Change macro name to PYBIND11_RUN_TESTING_WITH_SMART_HOLDER_AS_DEFAULT_BUT_NEVER_USE_IN_PRODUCTION_PLEASE

* Add a note pointing to the holder reinterpret_cast.

* Incorporate suggestion by @virtuald: https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/5542#discussion_r1967000989

* Systematically change most py::class_ to py::classh under docs/

* Remove references to README_smart_holder.rst

This should have been part of commit eb550d03d3.

* [ci skip] Fix minor oversight (``class_`` -> ``py::class_``) noticed by chance.

* [ci skip] Resolve suggestion by @virtuald

* Revert "Systematically change most py::class_ to py::classh under docs/"

This reverts commit ac9d31e13f.

* docs: focus on py::smart_holder instead of py::classh

Signed-off-by: Henry Schreiner <henryschreineriii@gmail.com>

* Restore minor general fixes that got lost when ac9d31e13f was reverted.

* Remove `- smart_holder` from list of branches in all .github/workflows

* Extend classh note to explain whitespace noise motivation.

* Suggest `py::smart_holder` for "most situations for safety"

* Add back PYBIND11_HAS_INTERNALS_WITH_SMART_HOLDER_SUPPORT

This define was
* introduced with https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/5286
* removed with https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/5531

It is has been in use here:
* f02a2b7653/pybind11_protobuf/native_proto_caster.h (L89-L101)

Currently pybind11 unit tests for the two holder caster backwards compatibility traits

* `copyable_holder_caster_shared_ptr_with_smart_holder_support_enabled`
* `move_only_holder_caster_unique_ptr_with_smart_holder_support_enabled`

are missing.

* Add py::trampoline_self_life_support to all trampoline examples under docs/.

Address suggestion by @timohl:

* https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/pull/5542#issuecomment-2686452062

Add to the "please think twice" note: the overhead for safety is likely in the noise.

Also fix a two-fold inconsistency introduced by revert-commit 1e646c91b4:

1.

py::trampoline_self_life_support is mentioned in a note, but is missing in the example right before.

2.

The section starting with

    To enable safely passing a ``std::unique_ptr`` to a trampoline object between

is obsolete.

* Fix whitespace accident (indentation) introduced with 1e646c91b4

Apparently the mis-indentation was introduced when resolving merge conflicts for what became 1e646c91b4

* WHITESPACE CHANGES ONLY in README.rst (list of people that made significant contributions)

* Add Ethan Steinberg to list of people that made significant contributions (for completeness, unrelated to smart_holder work).

* [ci skip] Add to list of people that made significant contributions: major and/or influential contributors to smart_holder branch

e88656ab45 Improve macro type handling for types with commas
- PYBIND11_MAKE_OPAQUE now takes ... rather than a single argument and
  expands it with __VA_ARGS__; this lets templated, comma-containing
  types get through correctly.
- Adds a new macro PYBIND11_TYPE() that lets you pass the type into a
  macro as a single argument, such as:

      PYBIND11_OVERLOAD(PYBIND11_TYPE(R<1,2>), PYBIND11_TYPE(C<3,4>), func)

  Unfortunately this only works for one macro call: to forward the
  argument on to the next macro call (without the processor breaking it
  up again) requires also adding the PYBIND11_TYPE(...) to type macro
  arguments in the PYBIND11_OVERLOAD_... macro chain.
- updated the documentation with these two changes, and use them at a couple
  places in the test suite to test that they work.

97aa54fefa Compile with hidden visibility always; set via cmake property rather than compiler flag
This updates the compilation to always apply hidden visibility to
resolve the issues with default visibility causing problems under debug
compilations.  Moreover using the cmake property makes it easier for a
caller to override if absolutely needed for some reason.

For `pybind11_add_module` we use cmake to set the property; for the
targets, we append to compilation option to non-MSVC compilers.

443ab5946b Replace PYBIND11_PLUGIN with PYBIND11_MODULE
This commit also adds `doc()` to `object_api` as a shortcut for the
`attr("__doc__")` accessor.

The module macro changes from:
```c++
PYBIND11_PLUGIN(example) {
    pybind11::module m("example", "pybind11 example plugin");
    m.def("add", [](int a, int b) { return a + b; });
    return m.ptr();
}
```

to:

```c++
PYBIND11_MODULE(example, m) {
    m.doc() = "pybind11 example plugin";
    m.def("add", [](int a, int b) { return a + b; });
}
```

Using the old macro results in a deprecation warning. The warning
actually points to the `pybind11_init` function (since attributes
don't bind to macros), but the message should be quite clear:
"PYBIND11_PLUGIN is deprecated, use PYBIND11_MODULE".
