Type representing signed size doesn't have to be int, so use special value
which defaults to SSIZE_MAX, but as it's not defined by C standard (but rather
by POSIX), allow ports to set it.
Previously, mpz was restricted to using at most 15 bits in each digit,
where a digit was a uint16_t.
With this patch, mpz can use all 16 bits in the uint16_t (improvement
to mpn_div was required). This gives small inprovements in speed and
RAM usage. It also yields savings in ROM code size because all of the
digit masking operations become no-ops.
Also, mpz can now use a uint32_t as the digit type, and hence use 32
bits per digit. This will give decent improvements in mpz speed on
64-bit machines.
Test for big integer division added.
Code-info size, block name, source name, n_state and n_exc_stack now use
variable length encoded uints. This saves 7-9 bytes per bytecode
function for most functions.
This way, the native glue code is only compiled if native code is
enabled (which makes complete sense; thanks to Paul Sokolovsky for
the idea).
Should fix issue #834.
The heap allocation is now exactly as it was before the "faster gc
alloc" patch, but it's still nearly as fast. It is fixed by being
careful to always update the "last free block" pointer whenever the heap
changes (eg free or realloc).
Tested on all tests by enabling EXTENSIVE_HEAP_PROFILING in py/gc.c:
old and new allocator have exactly the same behaviour, just the new one
is much faster.
Recent speed up of GC allocation made the GC have a fragmented heap.
This patch restores "original fragmentation behaviour" whilst still
retaining relatively fast allocation. This patch works because there is
always going to be a single block allocated now and then, which advances
the gc_last_free_atb_index pointer often enough so that the whole heap
doesn't need scanning.
Should address issue #836.
With a file with 1 line (and an error on that line), used to show the
line as number 0. Now shows it correctly as line number 1.
But, when line numbers are disabled, it now prints line number 1 for any
line that has an error (instead of 0 as previously). This might end up
being confusing, but requires extra RAM and/or hack logic to make it
print something special in the case of no line numbers.
These functions are generally 1 machine instruction, and are used in
critical code, so makes sense to have them inline.
Also leave these functions uninverted (ie 0 means enable, 1 means
disable) and provide macro constants if you really need to distinguish
the states. This makes for smaller code as well (combined with
inlining).
Applied to teensy port as well.
Because (for Thumb) a function pointer has the LSB set, pointers to
dynamic functions in RAM (eg native, viper or asm functions) were not
being traced by the GC. This patch is a comprehensive fix for this.
Addresses issue #820.
This simple patch gives a very significant speed up for memory allocation
with the GC.
Eg, on PYBv1.0:
tests/basics/dict_del.py: 3.55 seconds -> 1.19 seconds
tests/misc/rge_sm.py: 15.3 seconds -> 2.48 seconds
Multiplication of a tuple, list, str or bytes now yields an empty
sequence (instead of crashing). Addresses issue #799
Also added ability to mult bytes on LHS by integer.
Can now index ranges with integers and slices, and reverse ranges
(although reversing is not very efficient).
Not sure how useful this stuff is, but gets us closer to having all of
Python's builtins.
reversed function now implemented, and works for tuple, list, str, bytes
and user objects with __len__ and __getitem__.
Renamed mp_builtin_len to mp_obj_len to make it publically available (eg
for reversed).
This happens for example for zero-size arrays. As .get_buffer() method now
has explicit return value, it's enough to distinguish success vs failure
of getting buffer.
This was a nasty bug to track down. It only had consequences when the
heap size was just the right size to expose the rounding error in the
calculation of the finaliser table size. And, a script had to allocate
a small (1 or 2 cell) object at the very end of the heap. And, this
object must not have a finaliser. And, the initial state of the heap
must have been all bits set to 1. All these conspire on the pyboard,
but only if your run the script fresh (so unused memory is all 1's),
and if your script allocates a lot of small objects (eg 2-char strings
that are not interned).
qstr_init is always called exactly before mp_init, so makes sense to
just have mp_init call it. Similarly with
mp_init_emergency_exception_buf. Doing this makes the ports simpler and
less error prone (ie they can no longer forget to call these).
Reduces by about a factor of 10 on average the amount of RAM needed to
store the line-number to bytecode map in the bytecode prelude.
Using CPython3.4's stdlib for statistics: previously, an average of
13 bytes were used per (bytecode offset, line-number offset) pair, and
now with this improvement, that's down to 1.3 bytes on average.
Large RAM usage before was due to some very large steps in line numbers,
both from the start of the first line in a function way down in the
file, and also functions that have big comments and/or big strings in
them (both cases were significant).
Although the savings are large on average for the CPython stdlib, it
won't have such a big effect for small scripts used in embedded
programming.
Addresses issue #648.
This removes mpz_as_int, since that was a terrible function (it
implemented saturating conversion).
Use mpz_as_int_checked and mpz_as_uint_checked. These now work
correctly (they previously had wrong overflow checking, eg
print(chr(10000000000000)) on 32-bit machine would incorrectly convert
this large number to a small int).
Many OSes/CPUs have affinity to put "user" data into lower half of address
space. Take advantage of that and remap such addresses into full small int
range (including negative part).
If address is from upper half, long int will be used. Previously, small
int was returned for lower quarter of address space, and upper quarter. For
2 middle quarters, long int was used, which is clearly worse schedule than
the above.
The user code should call micropython.alloc_emergency_exception_buf(size)
where size is the size of the buffer used to print the argument
passed to the exception.
With the test code from #732, and a call to
micropython.alloc_emergenncy_exception_buf(100) the following error is
now printed:
```python
>>> import heartbeat_irq
Uncaught exception in Timer(4) interrupt handler
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "0://heartbeat_irq.py", line 14, in heartbeat_cb
NameError: name 'led' is not defined
```
With unicode enabled, this patch allows reading a fixed number of
characters from text-mode streams; eg file.read(5) will read 5 unicode
chars, which can made of more than 5 bytes.
For an ASCII stream (ie no chars > 127) it only needs to do 1 read. If
there are lots of non-ASCII chars in a stream, then it needs multiple
reads of the underlying object.
Adds a new test for this case. Enables unicode support by default on
unix and stmhal ports.
dummy_data field is accessed as uint value (e.g.
in emit_write_bytecode_byte_ptr), but is not aligned as such, which causes
bus errors or incorrect behavior on any arch requiring strictly aligned
data (ARM pre-v7, MIPS, etc, etc).
Conflicts:
stmhal/pin_named_pins.c
stmhal/readline.c
Renamed HAL_H to MICROPY_HAL_H. Made stmhal/mphal.h which intends to
define the generic Micro Python HAL, which in stmhal sits above the ST
HAL.
Native emitter can now compile try/except blocks using nlr_push/nlr_pop.
It probably only works for 1 level of exception handling. It doesn't
work on Thumb (only x64).
Native emitter can also handle some additional op codes.
With this patch, 198 tests now pass using "-X emit=native" option to
micropython.
- rearrange/add definitions that were not there so it's easier to compare both
- use MICROPY_PY_SYS_PLATFORM in main.c since it's available anyway
- define EWOULDBLOCK, it is missing from ingw32
As stack checking is enabled by default, ports which don't call
stack_ctrl_init() are broken now (report RuntimeError on startup). Save
them trouble and just init stack control framework in interpreter init.

Add PEP 393-flags to strings and stub usage.
The test suite all passes, but nothing has actually been changed.
Such mechanism is important to get stable Python functioning, because Python
function calling is handled with C stack. The idea is to sprinkle
STACK_CHECK() calls in places where there can be C recursion.
TODO: Add more STACK_CHECK()'s.
Expected to be set on command line, with the idea being that for different
targets, there're different smartass ABIs which strive to put unneeded
sections into executables, etc., so let people have flexible way to
strip that.
The option name is similar to previously introduced CLFAGS_EXTRA &
LDFLAGS_EXTRA.
char can be signedness, and using signedness types is dangerous - it can
lead to negative offsets when doing table lookups. We apparently should just
ban char usage.
This will allow roughly the same behavior as Python3 for non-ASCII strings,
for example, print("<phrase in non-Latin script>".split()) will print list
of words, not weird hex dump (like Python2 behaves). (Of course, that it
will print list of words, if there're "words" in that phrase at all, separated
by ASCII-compatible whitespace; that surely won't apply to every human
language in existence).
Functionality we provide in builtin io module is fairly minimal. Some
code, including CPython stdlib, depends on more functionality. So, there's
a choice to either implement it in C, or move it _io, and let implement other
functionality in Python. 2nd choice is pursued. This setup matches CPython
too (_io is builtin, io is Python-level).
Benefits: won't crash baremetal targets, will provide Python source location
when not implemented feature used (it will no longer provide C source
location, but just grep for error message).
there are special tweaks and paths to be considered. Just provide some
defaults, in case the values are undefined.
- py-version.sh does not need any bash specific features.
- Use libdl only on Linux for now. FreeBSD provides dl*() calls from libc.
Some small fixed:
- Combine 'x' and 'X' cases in str format code.
- Remove trailing spaces from some lines.
- Make exception messages consistently begin with lower case (then
needed to change those in objarray and objtuple so the same
constant string data could be used).
- Fix bug with exception message having %c instead of %%c.
Add keyword args to dict.update(), and ability to take a dictionary as
argument.
dict() class constructor can now use dict.update() directly.
This patch loses fast path for dict(other_dict), but is that really
needed? Any anyway, this idiom will now re-hash the dictionary, so is
arguably more memory efficient.
Addresses issue #647.
This may seem a bit of a risky change, in that it may introduce crazy
bugs with respect to volatile variables in the VM loop. But, I think it
should be fine: code_state points to some external memory, so the
compiler should always read/write to that memory when accessing the
ip/sp variables (ie not put them in registers).
Anyway, it passes all tests and improves on all efficiency fronts: about
2-4% faster (64-bit unix), 16 bytes less stack space per call (64-bit
unix) and slightly less executable size (unix and stmhal).
The reason it's more efficient is save_ip and save_sp were volatile
variables, so were anyway stored on the stack (in memory, not regs).
Thus converting them to code_state->{ip, sp} doesn't cost an extra
memory dereference (except maybe to get code_state, but that can be put
in a register and then made more efficient for other uses of it).
Conflicts:
py/vm.c
Fixed stack underflow check. Use UINT_FMT/INT_FMT where necessary.
Specify maximum VM-stack byte size by multiple of machine word size, so
that on 64 bit machines it has same functionality as 32 bit.
This improves stack usage in callers to mp_execute_bytecode2, and is step
forward towards unifying execution interface for function and generators
(which is important because generators don't even support full forms
of arguments passing (keywords, etc.)).
Needed to pop the iterator object when breaking out of a for loop. Need
also to be careful to unwind exception handler before popping iterator.
Addresses issue #635.
This helps the compiler do its optimisation, makes it clear which
variables are local per opcode and which global, and makes it consistent
when extra variables are needed in an opcode (in addition to old obj1,
obj2 pair, for example).
Could also make unum local, but that's for another time.
This completes non-automatic interning of strings in the parser, so that
doc strings don't take up RAM. It complicates the parser and compiler,
and bloats stmhal by about 300 bytes. It's complicated because now
there are 2 kinds of parse-nodes that can be strings: interned leaves
and non-interned structs.
