Let's usePyUnicodeWriter instead to avoids re-creating strings:

PyUnicodeWriter*writer=PyUnicodeWriter_Create(0);if (writer==NULL) gotoerror;if (PyUnicodeWriter_WriteSubstring(writer,r,0,l-1)<0) gotoerror;if (exc->name) {if (hasargs) {if (PyUnicodeWriter_WriteASCII(writer,", ",2)<0) gotoerror;  }  ...}...returnPyUnicodeWriter_Finish(writer);error:/* cleanup */

Sorry but my suggestion wasn'tPEP-7 compliant. So you should rewrite this function in aPEP-7 compliant way.

For this one, as you're using the entire "exc->name", you can just usePyUnicodeWriter_Format("name=%R", exc->name") instead.

Are there other exceptions that will benefit from having keywords in their reprs? AFAICT, the keywords are only rendered if they were passed to the constructor as keyword arguments. In particular, we could make a genericrepr helper for that which takes into account them, something like:

staticPyObject*repr_with_keywords(PyObject*exc,constchar*const*kwlist){/* format using kwlist[i]=getattr(exc, kwlist[i])     * with kwlist NULL-terminated */}

Its usage would be

staticchar*kwlist[]= {"name","path",NULL};repr_with_keywords(exc,kwlist)

For now, let's hold off this idea as I don't know if it can be useful. But this can be worth investigating instead of storing the given keywords explicitly.

yes - AFAIK only ImportError and ModuleNotFoundError (which hinnerits this functionality as per the tests) have optional arguments ? but makes sense to me that if other exception types in the future have optionals then we could extract this out.

Yes, but let's do it in a follow-up PR so that we can revert the helper commit more easily. Also it depends on whether we would store the keywords passed to the constructor (this is#11580)

This needs to be decrefed after it's been used. By doing so, you can also remove thePy_XDECREF(r) call at the end as it won't be needed anymore. I also suggest calling this function only after the writer has been successfully created.
