When binding code immediately throws an exception of type
py::error_already_set (e.g. via py::module::import that fails), the
catch block sets an import error as expected. Unfortunately, following
this, the deconstructor of py::error_already_set decides to call
py::detail::get_internals() and set up various internal data structures
of pybind11, which fails given that the error flag is active. The call
stack of this looks as follows:
Py_init_mymodule() -> __cxa_decrement_exception_refcount ->
error_already_set::~error_already_set() ->
gil_scoped_acquire::gil_scoped_acquire() -> detail::get_internals() ->
... -> pybind11::detail::simple_collector() -> uh oh..
The solution is simple: we call detail::get_internals() once before
running any binding code to make sure that the internal data structures
are ready.
This commit introduces the use of C++17-style fold expressions when
casting tuples & the argument lists of functions.
This change can improve performance of the resulting bindings: because
fold expressions have short-circuiting semantics, pybind11 e.g. won't
try to cast the second argument of a function if the first one failed.
This is particularly effective when working with functions that have
many overloads with long argument lists.
* test pair-copyability on C++17 upwards
The stdlib falsely detects containers like M=std::map<T, U>
as copyable, even when one of T and U is not copyable.
Therefore we cannot rely on the stdlib dismissing std::pair<T, M>
by itself, even on C++17.
* fix is_copy_assignable
bind_map used std::is_copy_assignable which suffers from the same problems
as std::is_copy_constructible, therefore the same fix has been applied.
* created tests for copyability
Don't assume that just because the language version is C++17 that the
standard library offers all C++17 features, too. When using clang-6.0
and --std=c++17 on Ubuntu 18.04 with libstdc++, __cpp_sized_deallocation
is false.
When building with `-Werror,-Wmissing-prototypes`, `clang` complains about missing prototypes for functions defined through macro expansions. This PR adds the missing prototypes.

* Adapt to python3.8 C API change
Do `Py_DECREF(type)` on all python objects on deallocation
fix#1946
* Add bare python3.8 build to CI matrix
While numpy/scipy wheels are available, run python3.8 test without them
