Support changing return value of a function in sys.monitoring

Feature or enhancement

Proposal:

gdb has a command return for users to immediately return from the function. It basically does two things:

1. stop the execution of the function
2. return an arbitrary value

In Python, 1. might not be that simple as we have all the references to the stack value (it should be doable, but may or may not worth it), but 2. should be pretty straightforward. We can allow the callback for PY_RETURN function to return something specific (like sys.monitoring.RETURN, retval) to replace the value we are about to return. It should only need to swap the value on the stack and the impact should be contained. Some of the instrumentation structure needs to be refactored a bit but I don't think it's too much work.

With this feature, we can "mock" the return value in the debugger. We can even expand our existing return command - we may not able to return immediately, but we can run until it returns and secretly swap the return value, so we can call this command from anywhere.

Does this sound like a reasonable feature or I'm missing something? @markshannon

Has this already been discussed elsewhere?

Commencez par suivre le callback PY_RETURN de sys.monitoring et la structure d’instrumentation décrite dans la proposition. Comparez cela avec la commande de retour existante du débogueur, puis déterminez comment une valeur fournie par un callback pourrait remplacer la valeur de retour en attente. Le travail est considéré comme terminé lorsque le comportement est spécifié, implémenté et couvert par des tests permettant de modifier la valeur de retour d’une fonction.
