INT_MAX used previosly is indeed max value for int, whereas on LP64
platforms, long is used for mp_int_t. Using MP_SMALL_INT_MAX is the
correct way to do it anyway.
Each threads needs to have its own private references to its current
locals/globals dicts, otherwise functions running within different
contexts (eg imported from different files) can behave very strangely.
There were 2 bugs, now fixed by this patch:
- after deleting an element the len of the dict did not decrease by 1
- after deleting an element searching through the dict could lead to
a seg fault due to there being an MP_OBJ_SENTINEL in the ordered array
In this case, raise an exception without a message.
This would allow to shove few code bytes comparing to currently used
mp_raise_msg(..., "") pattern. (Actual savings depend on function code
alignment used by a particular platform.)
The parser was originally written to work without raising any exceptions
and instead return an error value to the caller. But it's now required
that a call to the parser be wrapped in an nlr handler, so we may as well
make use of that fact and simplify the parser so that it doesn't need to
keep track of any memory errors that it had. The parser anyway explicitly
raises an exception at the end if there was an error.
This patch simplifies the parser by letting the underlying memory
allocation functions raise an exception if they fail to allocate any
memory. And if there is an error parsing the "<id> = const(<val>)" pattern
then that also raises an exception right away instead of trying to recover
gracefully and then raise.
Previous to this patch any non-interned str/bytes objects would create a
special parse node that held a copy of the str/bytes data. Then in the
compiler this data would be turned into a str/bytes object. This actually
lead to 2 copies of the data, one in the parse node and one in the object.
The parse node's copy of the data would be freed at the end of the compile
stage but nevertheless it meant that the peak memory usage of the
parse/compile stage was higher than it needed to be (by an amount equal to
the number of bytes in all the non-interned str/bytes objects).
This patch changes the behaviour so that str/bytes objects are created
directly in the parser and the object stored in a const-object parse node
(which already exists for bignum, float and complex const objects). This
reduces peak RAM usage of the parse/compile stage, simplifies the parser
and compiler, and reduces code size by about 170 bytes on Thumb2 archs,
and by about 300 bytes on Xtensa archs.
This patch allows uPy consts to be bignums, eg:
X = const(1 << 100)
The infrastructure for consts to be a bignum (rather than restricted to
small integers) has been in place for a while, ever since constant folding
was upgraded to allow bignums. It just required a small change (in this
patch) to enable it.
It's configured by MICROPY_PY_UERRNO_ERRORCODE and enabled by default
(since that's the behaviour before this patch).
Without this dict the lookup of errno codes to strings must use the
uerrno module itself.
It's much more efficient in RAM and code size to do implicit literal string
concatenation in the lexer, as opposed to the compiler.
RAM usage is reduced because the concatenation can be done right away in the
tokeniser by just accumulating the string/bytes literals into the lexer's
vstr. Prior to this patch adjacent strings/bytes would create a parse tree
(one node per string/bytes) and then in the compiler a whole new chunk of
memory was allocated to store the concatenated string, which used more than
double the memory compared to just accumulating in the lexer.
This patch also significantly reduces code size:
bare-arm: -204
minimal: -204
unix x64: -328
stmhal: -208
esp8266: -284
cc3200: -224
Previous to this patch there was an explicit check for errors with line
continuation (where backslash was not immediately followed by a newline).
But this check is not necessary: if there is an error then the remaining
logic of the tokeniser will reject the backslash and correctly produce a
syntax error.
Since the table of keywords is sorted, we can use strcmp to do the search
and stop part way through the search if the comparison is less-than.
Because all tokens that are names are subject to this search, this
optimisation will improve the overall speed of the lexer when processing
a script.
The change also decreases code size by a little bit because we now use
strcmp instead of the custom str_strn_equal function.
Keywords only needs to be searched for if the token is a MP_TOKEN_NAME, so
we can move the seach to the part of the code that does the tokenising for
MP_TOKEN_NAME.
Grammar rules have 2 variants: ones that are attached to a specific
compile function which is called to compile that grammar node, and ones
that don't have a compile function and are instead just inspected to see
what form they take.
In the compiler there is a table of all grammar rules, with each entry
having a pointer to the associated compile function. Those rules with no
compile function have a null pointer. There are 120 such rules, so that's
120 words of essentially wasted code space.
By grouping together the compile vs no-compile rules we can put all the
no-compile rules at the end of the list of rules, and then we don't need
to store the null pointers. We just have a truncated table and it's
guaranteed that when indexing this table we only index the first half,
the half with populated pointers.
This patch implements such a grouping by having a specific macro for the
compile vs no-compile grammar rules (DEF_RULE vs DEF_RULE_NC). It saves
around 460 bytes of code on 32-bit archs.
Allows to iterate over the following without allocating on the heap:
- tuple
- list
- string, bytes
- bytearray, array
- dict (not dict.keys, dict.values, dict.items)
- set, frozenset
Allows to call the following without heap memory:
- all, any, min, max, sum
TODO: still need to allocate stack memory in bytecode for iter_buf.
This improves efficiency of GIL release within the VM, by only doing the
release after a fixed number of jump-opcodes have executed in the current
thread.
It's more efficient using the system mutexs instead of synthetic ones with
a busy-wait loop. The system can do proper scheduling and blocking of the
threads waiting on the mutex.
Previous to this patch, for large chunks of bytecode that originated from
a single source-code line, the bytecode-line mapping would generate
something like (for 42 bytecode bytes and 1 line):
BC_SKIP=31 LINE_SKIP=1
BC_SKIP=11 LINE_SKIP=0
This would mean that any errors in the last 11 bytecode bytes would be
reported on the following line. This patch fixes it to generate instead:
BC_SKIP=31 LINE_SKIP=0
BC_SKIP=11 LINE_SKIP=1
This patch implements support for class methods __delattr__ and __setattr__
for customising attribute access. It is controlled by the config option
MICROPY_PY_DELATTR_SETATTR and is disabled by default.
It seems that the gcc toolchain on the RaspberryPi
likes %progbits instead of @progbits. I verified that
%progbits also works under x86, so this should
fix#2848 and fix#2842
I verified that unix and mpy-cross both compile
on my RaspberryPi and on my x64 machine.
The internal map/set functions now use size_t exclusively for computing
addresses. size_t is enough to reach all of available memory when
computing addresses so is the right type to use. In particular, for
nanbox builds it saves quite a bit of code size and RAM compared to the
original use of mp_uint_t (which is 64-bits on nanbox builds).
For archs that have 16-bit pointers, the asmxtensa.h file can give compiler
warnings about left-shift being greater than the width of the type (due to
the inline functions in this header file). Explicitly casting the
constants to uint32_t stops these warnings.
This patch fixes two main things:
- dicts can be printed directly using '%s' % dict
- %-formatting should not crash when passed a non-dict to, eg, '%(foo)s'
Updated modbuiltin.c to add conditional support for 3-arg calls to
pow() using MICROPY_PY_BUILTINS_POW3 config parameter. Added support in
objint_mpz.c for for optimised implementation.
A signal is like a pin, but ca also be inverted (active low). As such, it
abstracts properties of various physical devices, like LEDs, buttons,
relays, buzzers, etc. To instantiate a Signal:
pin = machine.Pin(...)
signal = machine.Signal(pin, inverted=True)
signal has the same .value() and __call__() methods as a pin.
This provides mp_vfs_XXX functions (eg mount, open, listdir) which are
agnostic to the underlying filesystem type, and just require an object with
the relevant filesystem-like methods (eg .mount, .open, .listidr) which can
then be mounted.
These mp_vfs_XXX functions would typically be used by a port to implement
the "uos" module, and mp_vfs_open would be the builtin open function.
This feature is controlled by MICROPY_VFS, disabled by default.
In this, don't allocate copy, just return non-empty string. This helps
with a standard pattern of buffering data in case of short reads:
buf = b""
while ...:
s = f.read(...)
buf += s
...
For a typical case when single read returns all data needed, there won't
be extra allocation. This optimization helps uasyncio.
They are one-line functions and having them inline in mp_init/mp_deinit
eliminates the overhead of a function call, and matches how other state
is initialised in mp_init.
This is how CPython does it, and it's very useful to help users discover
the available modules for a given port, especially built-in and frozen
modules. The function does not list modules that are in the filesystem
because this would require a fair bit of work to do correctly, and is very
port specific (depending on the filesystem).
If result guaranteedly fits in a small int, it is handled in objint.c.
Otherwise, it is delegated to mp_obj_int_from_bytes_impl(), which should
be implemented by individual objint_*.c, similar to
mp_obj_int_to_bytes_impl().
If GeneratorExit is injected as a throw-value then that should lead to
the close() method being called, if it exists. If close() does not exist
then throw() should not be called, and this patch fixes this.
The commit d9047d3c8a introduced a bug
whereby "from a.b import c" stopped working for frozen packages. This is
because the path was not properly truncated and became "a//b". Such a
path resolves correctly for a "real" filesystem, but not for a search in
the list of frozen modules.
UART REPL support was lost in os.dupterm() refactorings, etc. As
os.dupterm() is there, implement UART REPL support at the high level -
if MICROPY_STDIO_UART is set, make default boot.py contain os.dupterm()
call for a UART. This means that changing MICROPY_STDIO_UART value will
also require erasing flash on a module to force boot.py re-creation.
This check always fails (ie chr0 is never EOF) because the callers of this
function never call it past the end of the input stream. And even if they
did it would be harmless because 1) reader.readbyte must continue to
return an EOF char if the stream is exhausted; 2) next_char would just
count the subsequent EOF's as characters worth 1 column.
import utimeq, utime
# Max queue size, the queue allocated statically on creation
q = utimeq.utimeq(10)
q.push(utime.ticks_ms(), data1, data2)
res = [0, 0, 0]
# Items in res are filled up with results
q.pop(res)
Defining and initialising mp_kbd_exception is boiler-plate code and so the
core runtime can provide it, instead of each port needing to do it
themselves.
The exception object is placed in the VM state rather than on the heap.
sys.exit() is an important function to terminate a program. In particular,
the testsuite relies on it to skip tests (i.e. any other functionality may
be disabled, but sys.exit() is required to at least report that properly).
For all but the last pass the assembler only needs to count how much space
is needed for the machine code, it doesn't actually need to emit anything.
The dummy_data just uses unnecessary RAM and without it the code is not
any more complex (and code size does not increase for Thumb and Xtensa
archs).
This patch moves some common code from the individual inline assemblers to
the compiler, the code that calls the emit-glue to assign the machine code
to the functions scope.
This patch adds the MICROPY_EMIT_INLINE_XTENSA option, which, when
enabled, allows the @micropython.asm_xtensa decorator to be used.
The following opcodes are currently supported (ax is a register, a0-a15):
ret_n()
callx0(ax)
j(label)
jx(ax)
beqz(ax, label)
bnez(ax, label)
mov(ax, ay)
movi(ax, imm) # imm can be full 32-bit, uses l32r if needed
and_(ax, ay, az)
or_(ax, ay, az)
xor(ax, ay, az)
add(ax, ay, az)
sub(ax, ay, az)
mull(ax, ay, az)
l8ui(ax, ay, imm)
l16ui(ax, ay, imm)
l32i(ax, ay, imm)
s8i(ax, ay, imm)
s16i(ax, ay, imm)
s32i(ax, ay, imm)
l16si(ax, ay, imm)
addi(ax, ay, imm)
ball(ax, ay, label)
bany(ax, ay, label)
bbc(ax, ay, label)
bbs(ax, ay, label)
beq(ax, ay, label)
bge(ax, ay, label)
bgeu(ax, ay, label)
blt(ax, ay, label)
bnall(ax, ay, label)
bne(ax, ay, label)
bnone(ax, ay, label)
Upon entry to the assembly function the registers a0, a12, a13, a14 are
pushed to the stack and the stack pointer (a1) decreased by 16. Upon
exit, these registers and the stack pointer are restored, and ret.n is
executed to return to the caller (caller address is in a0).
Note that the ABI for the Xtensa emitters is non-windowing.
If a port defines MP_PLAT_COMMIT_EXEC then this function is used to turn
RAM data into executable code. For example a port may want to write the
data to flash for execution. The function must return a pointer to the
executable data.
The constants MP_IOCTL_POLL_xxx, which were stmhal-specific, are moved
from stmhal/pybioctl.h (now deleted) to py/stream.h. And they are renamed
to MP_STREAM_POLL_xxx to be consistent with other such constants.
All uses of these constants have been updated.
If a port defines MICROPY_READER_POSIX or MICROPY_READER_FATFS then
lexer.c now provides an implementation of mp_lexer_new_from_file using
the mp_reader_new_file function.
Implementations of persistent-code reader are provided for POSIX systems
and systems using FatFS. Macros to use these are MICROPY_READER_POSIX and
MICROPY_READER_FATFS respectively. If an alternative implementation is
needed then a port can define the function mp_reader_new_file.
It is split into 2 functions, one to make small ints and the other to make
a non-small-int leaf node. This reduces code size by 32 bytes on
bare-arm, 64 bytes on unix (x64-64) and 144 bytes on stmhal.
This includes StopIteration and thus are important to make Python-coded
iterables work with yield from/await.
Exceptions in Python send() are still not handled and left for future
consideration and optimization.
We allow 'exc.__traceback__ = None' assignment as a low-level optimization
of pre-allocating exception instance and raising it repeatedly - this
avoids memory allocation during raise. However, uPy will keep adding
traceback entries to such exception instance, so before throwing it,
traceback should be cleared like above.
'exc.__traceback__ = None' syntax is CPython compatible. However, unlike
it, reading that attribute or setting it to any other value is not
supported (and not intended to be supported, again, the only reason for
adding this feature is to allow zero-memalloc exception raising).
Its addition was due to an early exploration on how to add CPython-like
stream interface. It's clear that it's not needed and just takes up
bytes in all ports.
With this patch one can now do "make FROZEN_MPY_DIR=../../frozen" to
specify a directory containing scripts to be frozen (as well as absolute
paths).
The compiled .mpy files are now stored in $(BUILD)/frozen_mpy/.
Now, to use frozen bytecode all a port needs to do is define
FROZEN_MPY_DIR to the directory containing the .py files to freeze, and
define MICROPY_MODULE_FROZEN_MPY and MICROPY_QSTR_EXTRA_POOL.
In both parse.c and qstr.c, an internal chunking allocator tidies up
by calling m_renew to shrink an allocated chunk to the size used, and
assumes that the chunk will not move. However, when MICROPY_ENABLE_GC
is false, m_renew calls the system realloc, which does not guarantee
this behaviour. Environments where realloc may return a different
pointer include:
(1) mbed-os with MBED_HEAP_STATS_ENABLED (which adds a wrapper around
malloc & friends; this is where I was hit by the bug);
(2) valgrind on linux (how I diagnosed it).
The fix is to call m_renew_maybe with allow_move=false.
Builtin functions with a fixed number of arguments (0, 1, 2 or 3) are
quite common. Before this patch the wrapper for such a function cost
3 machine words. After this patch it only takes 2, which can reduce the
code size by quite a bit (and pays off even more, the more functions are
added). It also makes function dispatch slightly more efficient in CPU
usage, and furthermore reduces stack usage for these cases. On x86 and
Thumb archs the dispatch functions are now tail-call optimised by the
compiler.
The bare-arm port has its code size increase by 76 bytes, but stmhal drops
by 904 bytes. Stack usage by these builtin functions is decreased by 48
bytes on Thumb2 archs.
In order to have more fine-grained control over how builtin functions are
constructed, the MP_DECLARE_CONST_FUN_OBJ macros are made more specific,
with suffix of _0, _1, _2, _3, _VAR, _VAR_BETEEN or _KW. These names now
match the MP_DEFINE_CONST_FUN_OBJ macros.
As long as a port implement mp_hal_sleep_ms(), mp_hal_ticks_ms(), etc.
functions, it can just use standard implementations of utime.sleel_ms(),
utime.ticks_ms(), etc. Python-level functions.
Now there is just one function to allocate a new vstr, namely vstr_new
(in addition to vstr_init etc). The caller of this function should know
what initial size to allocate for the buffer, or at least have some policy
or config option, instead of leaving it to a default (as it was before).
This refactors ujson.loads(s) to behave as ujson.load(StringIO(s)).
Increase in code size is: 366 bytes for unix x86-64, 180 bytes for
stmhal, 84 bytes for esp8266.
Setting emit_dent=0 is unnecessary because arriving in that part of the
if-logic will guarantee that emit_dent is already zero.
The block to check indent_top(lex)>0 is unreachable because a newline is
always inserted an the end of the input stream, and hence dedents are
always processed before EOF.
Similar to how binary op already works. Common unary operations already
have fast paths for bool so there's no need to have explicit handling of
ops in bool_unary_op, especially since they have the same behaviour as
integers.
On 32-bit archs this makes the scope_t struct 48 bytes in size, which fits
in 3 GC blocks (previously it used 4 GC blocks). This will lead to some
savings when compiling scripts because there are usually quite a few scopes,
one for each function and class.
Note that qstrs will fit in 16 bits, this assumption is made in a few other
places.
Following how other objects work, set/frozenset methods should use the
mp_check_self() macro to check the type of the self argument, because in
most cases this check can be a null operation.
Saves about 100-180 bytes of code for builds with set and frozenset
enabled.
Having a micropython.const identity function, and writing "from micropython
import const" at the start of scripts that use the const feature, allows to
write scripts which are compatible with CPython, and with uPy builds that
don't include const optimisation.
This patch adds such a function and updates the tests to do the import.
When an exception is raised and is to be handled by the VM, it is stored
on the Python value stack so the bytecode can access it. CPython stores
3 objects on the stack for each exception: exc type, exc instance and
traceback. uPy followed this approach, but it turns out not to be
necessary. Instead, it is enough to store just the exception instance on
the Python value stack. The only place where the 3 values are needed
explicitly is for the __exit__ handler of a with-statement context, but
for these cases the 3 values can be extracted from the single exception
instance.
This patch removes the need to store 3 values on the stack, and instead
just stores the exception instance.
Code size is reduced by about 50-100 bytes, the compiler and VM are
slightly simpler, generate bytecode is smaller (by 2 bytes for each try
block), and the Python value stack is reduced in size for functions that
handle exceptions.
This fixes constant substitution so that only standalone identifiers are
replaced with their constant value (if they have one). I.e. don't
replace NAME in expressions like obj.NAME or NAME = expr.
qstrs ids are restricted to fit within 2 bytes already (eg in persistent
bytecode) so it's safe to use a uint16_t to store them in mp_arg_t. And
the flags member only needs a maximum of 2 bytes so can also use uint16_t.
Savings in code size can be significant when many mp_arg_t structs are
used for argument parsing. Eg, this patch reduces stmhal by 480 bytes.
The system printf is no longer used by the core uPy code. Instead, the
platform print stream or DEBUG_printf is used. Using DEBUG_printf in the
showbc functions would mean that the code can't be tested by the test
suite, so use the normal output instead.
This patch also fixes parsing of bytecode-line-number mappings.
The vstr.had_error flag was a relic from the very early days which assumed
that the malloc functions (eg m_new, m_renew) returned NULL if they failed
to allocate. But that's no longer the case: these functions will raise an
exception if they fail.
Since it was impossible for had_error to be set, this patch introduces no
change in behaviour.
An alternative option would be to change the malloc calls to the _maybe
variants, which return NULL instead of raising, but then a lot of code
will need to explicitly check if the vstr had an error and raise if it
did.
The code-size savings for this patch are, in bytes: bare-arm:188,
minimal:456, unix(NDEBUG,x86-64):368, stmhal:228, esp8266:360.
With the previous patch combining 3 emit functions into 1, it now makes
sense to also combine the corresponding VM opcodes, which is what this
patch does. This eliminates 2 opcodes which simplifies the VM and reduces
code size, in bytes: bare-arm:44, minimal:64, unix(NDEBUG,x86-64):272,
stmhal:92, esp8266:200. Profiling (with a simple script that creates many
list/dict/set comprehensions) shows no measurable change in performance.
The 3 kinds of comprehensions are similar enough that merging their emit
functions reduces code size. Decreases in code size in bytes are:
bare-arm:24, minimal:96, unix(NDEBUG,x86-64):328, stmhal:80, esp8266:76.
bool(None) has a fast path in mp_obj_is_true so doesn't need to be
handled in none_unary_op. The only caveat is that subclassing may
bypass the mp_obj_is_true function, but actually you aren't allowed to
subclass classes that have singleton instances like NoneType (see
https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2002-March/020822.html for
reference on this point).
py/makeqstrdefs.py declares that it works with python 2.6 however the
syntax used to initialise of a set with values was only added in python
2.7. This leads to build failures when the host system doesn't have
python 2.7 or newer.
Instead of using the new syntax pass a list of initial values through
set() to achieve the same result. This should work for python versions
from at least 2.6 onwards.

Tested on a STM32F7DISCO at 216MHz. All tests generating code (inlineasm,
native, viper) now pass, except pybnative/while.py, but that's because
there is no LED(2).
This new config option allows to control whether MicroPython uses its own
internal printf or not (if not, an external one should be linked in).
Accompanying this new option is the inclusion of lib/utils/printf.c in the
core list of source files, so that ports no longer need to include it
themselves.
Arguments of an unknown type cannot be skipped and continuing to parse a
format string after encountering an unknown format specifier leads to
undefined behaviour. This patch helps to find use of unsupported formats.
The idea is that all ports can use these helper methods and only need to
provide initialisation of the SPI bus, as well as a single transfer
function. The coding pattern follows the stream protocol and helper
methods.
There can be stray pointers in memory blocks that are not properly zero'd
after allocation. This patch adds a new config option to always zero all
allocated memory (via gc_alloc and gc_realloc) and hence help to eliminate
stray pointers.
See issue #2195.
In current state `mp_get_stream_raise` assumes that `self_in` is an object
and always performs a pointer derefence which may cause a segfault.
This function shall throw an exception whenever `self_in` does not implement
a stream protocol, that includes qstr's and numbers.
fixes#2331
The machine_ptr_t type is long obsolete as the type of mp_obj_t is now
defined by the object representation, ie by MICROPY_OBJ_REPR. So just use
void* explicitly for the typedef of mp_obj_t.
If a port wants to use something different then they should define a new
object representation.
Only tuple, namedtuple and attrtuple use the tuple_cmp_helper function,
and they all have getiter=mp_obj_tuple_getiter, so the check here is only
to ensure that the self object is consistent. Hence use mp_check_self.
Checks for number of args removes where guaranteed by function descriptor,
self checking is replaced with mp_check_self(). In few cases, exception
is raised instead of assert.
Indended to replace raw asserts in bunch of files. Expands to empty
if MICROPY_BUILTIN_METHOD_CHECK_SELF_ARG is defined, otehrwise by
default still to assert, though a particular port may define it to
something else.
Introduce mp_raise_msg(), mp_raise_ValueError(), mp_raise_TypeError()
instead of previous pattern nlr_raise(mp_obj_new_exception_msg(...)).
Save few bytes on each call, which are many.
To filter out even prototypes of mp_stream_posix_*() functions, which
require POSIX types like ssize_t & off_t, which may be not available in
some ports.
Helpful when porting existing C libraries to MicroPython. abort()ing in
embedded environment isn't a good idea, so when compiling such library,
-Dabort=abort_ option can be given to redirect standard abort() to this
"safe" version.
Something like:
if foo == "bar":
will be always false if foo is b"bar". In CPython, warning is issued if
interpreter is started as "python3 -b". In MicroPython,
MICROPY_PY_STR_BYTES_CMP_WARN setting controls it.
Currently, MicroPython runs GC when it could not allocate a block of memory,
which happens when heap is exhausted. However, that policy can't work well
with "inifinity" heaps, e.g. backed by a virtual memory - there will be a
lot of swap thrashing long before VM will be exhausted. Instead, in such
cases "allocation threshold" policy is used: a GC is run after some number of
allocations have been made. Details vary, for example, number or total amount
of allocations can be used, threshold may be self-adjusting based on GC
outcome, etc.
This change implements a simple variant of such policy for MicroPython. Amount
of allocated memory so far is used for threshold, to make it useful to typical
finite-size, and small, heaps as used with MicroPython ports. And such GC policy
is indeed useful for such types of heaps too, as it allows to better control
fragmentation. For example, if a threshold is set to half size of heap, then
for an application which usually makes big number of small allocations, that
will (try to) keep half of heap memory in a nice defragmented state for an
occasional large allocation.
For an application which doesn't exhibit such behavior, there won't be any
visible effects, except for GC running more frequently, which however may
affect performance. To address this, the GC threshold is configurable, and
by default is off so far. It's configured with gc.threshold(amount_in_bytes)
call (can be queries without an argument).
3-arg form:
stream.write(data, offset, length)
2-arg form:
stream.write(data, length)
These allow efficient buffer writing without incurring extra memory
allocation for slicing or creating memoryview() object, what is
important for low-memory ports.
All arguments must be positional. It might be not so bad idea to standardize
on 3-arg form, but 2-arg case would need check and raising an exception
anyway then, so instead it was just made to work.
This follows source code/header file organization similar to few other
objects, and intended to be used only is special cases, where efficiency/
simplicity matters.
Previously, if there was chain of allocated blocks ending with the last
block of heap, it wasn't included in number of 1/2-block or max block
size stats.
Now only the bits that really need to be written in assembler are written
in it, otherwise C is used. This means that the assembler code no longer
needs to know about the global state structure which makes it much easier
to maintain.
GC_EXIT() can cause a pending thread (waiting on the mutex) to be
scheduled right away. This other thread may trigger a garbage
collection. If the pointer to the newly-allocated block (allocated by
the original thread) is not computed before the switch (so it's just left
as a block number) then the block will be wrongly reclaimed.
This patch makes sure the pointer is computed before allowing any thread
switch to occur.
By using a single, global mutex, all memory-related functions (alloc,
free, realloc, collect, etc) are made thread safe. This means that only
one thread can be in such a function at any one time.
This allows to define an abstract base class which would translate
C-level protocol to Python method calls, and any subclass inheriting
from it will support this feature. This in particular actually enables
recently introduced machine.PinBase class.
Allows to translate C-level pin API to Python-level pin API. In other
words, allows to implement a pin class and Python which will be usable
for efficient C-coded algorithms, like bitbanging SPI/I2C, time_pulse,
etc.
That's arbitrary restriction, in case of embedding, a source file path may
be absolute. For the purpose of filtering out system includes, checking
for ".c" suffix is enough.
Assignments of the form "_id = const(value)" are treated as private
(following a similar CPython convention) and code is no longer emitted
for the assignment to a global variable.
See issue #2111.
Using usual method of virtual method tables. Single virtual method,
ioctl, is defined currently for all operations. This universal and
extensible vtable-based method is also defined as a default MPHAL
GPIO implementation, but a specific port may override it with its
own implementation (e.g. close-ended, but very efficient, e.g. avoiding
virtual method dispatch).
Disabled by default, enabled in unix port. Need for this method easily
pops up when working with text UI/reporting, and coding workalike
manually again and again counter-productive.
Now frozen modules is treated just as a kind of VFS, and all operations
performed on it correspond to operations on normal filesystem. This allows
to support packages properly, and potentially also data files.
This change also have changes to rework frozen bytecode modules support to
use the same framework, but it's not finished (and actually may not work,
as older adhox handling of any type of frozen modules is removed).
Both read and write operations support variants where either a) a single
call is made to the undelying stream implementation and returned buffer
length may be less than requested, or b) calls are repeated until requested
amount of data is collected, shorter amount is returned only in case of
EOF or error.
These operations are available from the level of C support functions to be
used by other C modules to implementations of Python methods to be used in
user-facing objects.
The rationale of these changes is to allow to write concise and robust
code to work with *blocking* streams of types prone to short reads, like
serial interfaces and sockets. Particular object types may select "exact"
vs "once" types of methods depending on their needs. E.g., for sockets,
revc() and send() methods continue to be "once", while read() and write()
thus converted to "exactly" versions.
These changes don't affect non-blocking handling, e.g. trying "exact"
method on the non-blocking socket will return as much data as available
without blocking. No data available is continued to be signaled as None
return value to read() and write().
From the point of view of CPython compatibility, this model is a cross
between its io.RawIOBase and io.BufferedIOBase abstract classes. For
blocking streams, it works as io.BufferedIOBase model (guaranteeing
lack of short reads/writes), while for non-blocking - as io.RawIOBase,
returning None in case of lack of data (instead of raising expensive
exception, as required by io.BufferedIOBase). Such a cross-behavior
should be optimal for MicroPython needs.
Address printed was truncated anyway and in general confusing to outsider.
A line which dumps it is still left in the source, commented, for peculiar
cases when it may be needed (e.g. when running under debugger).
In some compliation enviroments (e.g. mbed online compiler) with
strict standards compliance, <math.h> does not define constants such
as M_PI. Provide fallback definitions of M_E and M_PI where needed.
If an OSError is raised with an integer argument, and that integer
corresponds to an errno, then the string for the errno is used as the
argument to the exception, instead of the integer. Only works if
the uerrno module is enabled.
These are typical consumers of large chunks of memory, so it's useful to
see at least their number (how much memory isn't clearly shown, as the data
for these objects is allocated elsewhere).

vstr_null_terminated_str is almost certainly a vstr finalization operation,
so it should add the requested NUL byte, and not try to pre-allocate more.
The previous implementation could actually allocate double of the buffer
size.
Previous to this patch bignum division and modulo would temporarily
modify the RHS argument to the operation (eg x/y would modify y), but on
return the RHS would be restored to its original value. This is not
allowed because arguments to binary operations are const, and in
particular might live in ROM. The modification was to normalise the arg
(and then unnormalise before returning), and this patch makes it so the
normalisation is done on the fly and the arg is now accessed as read-only.
This change doesn't increase the order complexity of the operation, and
actually reduces code size.
When DIG_SIZE=32, a uint32_t is used to store limbs, and no normalisation
is needed because the MSB is already set, then there will be left and
right shifts (in C) by 32 of a 32-bit variable, leading to undefined
behaviour. This patch fixes this bug.
Also do that only for the first word in a line. The idea is that when you
start up interpreter, high chance that you want to do an import. With this
patch, this can be achieved with "i<tab>".
The type is an unsigned 8-bit value, since bytes objects are exactly
that. And it's also sensible for unicode strings to return unsigned
values when accessed in a byte-wise manner (CPython does not allow this).
While just a websocket is enough for handling terminal part of WebREPL,
handling file transfer operations requires demultiplexing and acting
upon, which is encapsulated in _webrepl class provided by this module,
which wraps a websocket object.
The C standard says that left-shifting a signed value (on the LHS of the
operator) is undefined. So we cast to an unsigned integer before the
shift. gcc does not issue a warning about this, but clang does.
- msvc preprocessor output contains full paths with backslashes so the
':' and '\' characters needs to be erased from the paths as well
- use a regex for extraction of filenames from preprocessor output so it
can handle both gcc and msvc preprocessor output, and spaces in paths
(also thanks to a PR from @travnicekivo for part of that regex)
- os.rename will fail on windows if the destination file already exists,
so simply attempt to delete that file first
Qstr auto-generation is now much faster so this optimisation for start-up
time is no longer needed. And passing "-s -S" breaks some things, like
stmhal's "make deploy".
E.g. for stmhal, accumulated preprocessed output may grow large due to
bloated vendor headers, and then reprocessing tens of megabytes on each
build make take couple of seconds on fast hardware (=> potentially dozens
of seconds on slow hardware). So instead, split once after each change,
and only cat repetitively (guaranteed to be fast, as there're thousands
of lines involved at most).
If make -B is run, the rule is run with $? empty. Extract fron all file in
this case. But this gets fragile, really "make clean" should be used instead
with such build complexity.
When there're C files to be (re)compiled, they're all passed first to
preprocessor. QSTR references are extracted from preprocessed output and
split per original C file. Then all available qstr files (including those
generated previously) are catenated together. Only if the resulting content
has changed, the output file is written (causing almost global rebuild
to pick up potentially renumbered qstr's). Otherwise, it's not updated
to not cause spurious rebuilds. Related make rules are split to minimize
amount of commands executed in the interim case (when some C files were
updated, but no qstrs were changed).
- any architecture may explicitely build with qstring make
QSTR_AUTOGEN_DISABLE=1 autogeneration disabled and provide its
own list of qstrings by the standard
mechanisms (qstrdefsport.h).
- add template rule that converts a specified source file into a qstring file
- add special rule for generating a central header that contains all
extracted/autogenerated strings - defined by QSTR_DEFS_COLLECTED
variable. Each platform appends a list of sources that may contain
qstrings into a new build variable: SRC_QSTR. Any autogenerated
prerequisities are should be appened to SRC_QSTR_AUTO_DEPS variable.
- remove most qstrings from py/qstrdefs, keep only qstrings that
contain special characters - these cannot be easily detected in the
sources without additional annotations
- remove most manual qstrdefs, use qstrdef autogen for: py, cc3200,
stmhal, teensy, unix, windows, pic16bit:
- remove all micropython generic qstrdefs except for the special strings that contain special characters (e.g. /,+,<,> etc.)
- remove all port specific qstrdefs except for special strings
- append sources for qstr generation in platform makefiles (SRC_QSTR)
This script will search for patterns of the form Q(...) and generate a
list of them.
The original code by Pavel Moravec has been significantly simplified to
remove the part that searched for C preprocessor directives (eg #if).
This is because all source is now run through CPP before being fed into
this script.
Small hash tables (eg those used in user class instances that only have a
few members) now only use the minimum amount of memory necessary to hold
the key/value pairs. This can reduce performance for instances that have
many members (because then there are many reallocations/rehashings of the
table), but helps to conserve memory.
See issue #1760.
Most grammar rules can optimise to the identity if they only have a single
argument, saving a lot of RAM building the parse tree. Previous to this
patch, whether a given grammar rule could be optimised was defined (mostly
implicitly) by a complicated set of logic rules. With this patch the
definition is always specified explicitly by using "and_ident" in the rule
definition in the grammar. This simplifies the logic of the parser,
making it a bit smaller and faster. RAM usage in unaffected.
The config variable MICROPY_MODULE_FROZEN is now made of two separate
parts: MICROPY_MODULE_FROZEN_STR and MICROPY_MODULE_FROZEN_MPY. This
allows to have none, either or both of frozen strings and frozen mpy
files (aka frozen bytecode).
They are sugar for marking function as generator, "yield from"
and pep492 python "semantically equivalents" respectively.
@dpgeorge was the original author of this patch, but @pohmelie made
changes to implement `async for` and `async with`.
Will call underlying C virtual methods of stream interface. This isn't
intended to be added to every stream object (it's not in CPython), but
is convenient way to expose extra operation on Python side without
adding bunch of Python-level methods.
Features inline get/put operations for the highest performance. Locking
is not part of implementation, operation should be wrapped with locking
externally as needed.
When taking the logarithm of the float to determine the exponent, there
are some edge cases that finish the log loop too large. Eg for an
input value of 1e32-epsilon, this is actually less than 1e32 from the
log-loop table and finishes as 10.0e31 when it should be 1.0e32. It
is thus rendered as :e32 (: comes after 9 in ascii).
There was the same problem with numbers less than 1.
Previous to this patch, the "**b" in "a**b" had its own parse node with
just one item (the "b"). Now, the "b" is just the last element of the
power parse-node. This saves (a tiny bit of) RAM when compiling.
Passing an mp_uint_t to a %d printf format is incorrect for builds where
mp_uint_t is larger than word size (eg a nanboxing build). This patch
adds some simple casting to int in these cases.
If the heap is locked, or memory allocation fails, then calling a bound
method will still succeed by allocating the argument state on the stack.
The new code also allocates less stack than before if less than 4
arguments are passed. It's also a tiny bit smaller in code size.
This was done as part of the ESA project.
This new compile-time option allows to make the bytecode compiler
configurable at runtime by setting the fields in the mp_dynamic_compiler
structure. By using this feature, the compiler can generate bytecode
that targets any MicroPython runtime/VM, regardless of the host and
target compile-time settings.
Options so far that fall under this dynamic setting are:
- maximum number of bits that a small int can hold;
- whether caching of lookups is used in the bytecode;
- whether to use unicode strings or not (lexer behaviour differs, and
therefore generated string constants differ).
Reduces code size by 112 bytes on Thumb2 arch, and makes assembler faster
because comparison can be a simple equals instead of a string compare.
Not all ops have been converted, only those that were simple to convert
and reduced code size.
The chunks of memory that the parser allocates contain parse nodes and
are pointed to from many places, so these chunks cannot be relocated
by the memory manager. This patch makes it so that when a chunk is
shrunk to fit, it is not relocated.
These can be used to insert arbitrary checks, polling, etc into the VM.
They are left general because the VM is a highly tuned loop and it should
be up to a given port how that port wants to modify the VM internals.
One common use would be to insert a polling check, but only done after
a certain number of opcodes were executed, so as not to slow down the VM
too much. For example:
#define MICROPY_VM_HOOK_COUNT (30)
#define MICROPY_VM_HOOK_INIT static uint vm_hook_divisor = MICROPY_VM_HOOK_COUNT
#define MICROPY_VM_HOOK_POLL if (--vm_hook_divisor == 0) { \
vm_hook_divisor = MICROPY_VM_HOOK_COUNT;
extern void vm_hook_function(void);
vm_hook_function();
}
#define MICROPY_VM_HOOK_LOOP MICROPY_VM_HOOK_POLL
#define MICROPY_VM_HOOK_RETURN MICROPY_VM_HOOK_POLL
The new block protocol is:
- readblocks(self, n, buf)
- writeblocks(self, n, buf)
- ioctl(self, cmd, arg)
The new ioctl method handles the old sync and count methods, as well as
a new "get sector size" method.
The old protocol is still supported, and used if the device doesn't have
the ioctl method.
This allows you to pass a number (being an address) to a viper function
that expects a pointer, and also allows casting of integers to pointers
within viper functions.
This was actually the original behaviour, but it regressed due to native
type identifiers being promoted to 4 bits in width.
This function computes (x**y)%z in an efficient way. For large arguments
this operation is otherwise not computable by doing x**y and then %z.
It's currently not used, but is added in case it's useful one day.
For these 3 bitwise operations there are now fast functions for
positive-only arguments, and general functions for arbitrary sign
arguments (the fast functions are the existing implementation).
By default the fast functions are not used (to save space) and instead
the general functions are used for all operations.
Enable MICROPY_OPT_MPZ_BITWISE to use the fast functions for positive
arguments.
Before this patch, the native types for uint and ptr/ptr8/ptr16/ptr32
all overlapped and it was possible to make a mistake in casting. Now,
these types are all separate and any coding mistakes will be raised
as runtime errors.
Eg: '{:{}}'.format(123, '>20')
@pohmelie was the original author of this patch, but @dpgeorge made
significant changes to reduce code size and improve efficiency.
For single prec, exponents never get larger than about 37. For double
prec, exponents can be larger than 99 and need 3 bytes to format. This
patch makes the number of bytes needed configurable.
Addresses issue #1772.
Calling it from mp_init() is too late for some ports (like Unix), and leads
to incomplete stack frame being captured, with following GC issues. So, now
each port should call mp_stack_ctrl_init() on its own, ASAP after startup,
and taking special precautions so it really was called before stack variables
get allocated (because if such variable with a pointer is missed, it may lead
to over-collecting (typical symptom is segfaulting)).
MP_BC_NOT was removed and the "not" operation made a proper unary
operator, and the opcode format table needs to be updated to reflect
this change (but actually the change is only cosmetic).
Functions added are:
- randint
- randrange
- choice
- random
- uniform
They are enabled with configuration variable
MICROPY_PY_URANDOM_EXTRA_FUNCS, which is disabled by default. It is
enabled for unix coverage build and stmhal.
SHA1 is used in a number of protocols and algorithm originated 5 years ago
or so, in other words, it's in "wide use", and only newer protocols use
SHA2.
The implementation depends on axTLS enabled. TODO: Make separate config
option specifically for sha1().
micropython.stack_use() returns an integer being the number of bytes used
on the stack.
micropython.heap_lock() and heap_unlock() can be used to prevent the
memory manager from allocating anything on the heap. Calls to these are
allowed to be nested.
Seedable and reproducible pseudo-random number generator. Implemented
functions are getrandbits(n) (n <= 32) and seed().
The algorithm used is Yasmarang by Ilya Levin:
http://www.literatecode.com/yasmarang
this allows python code to use property(lambda:..., doc=...) idiom.
named versions for the fget, fset and fdel arguments are left out in the
interest of saving space; they are rarely used and easy to enable when
actually needed.
a test case is included.
The first argument to the type.make_new method is naturally a uPy type,
and all uses of this argument cast it directly to a pointer to a type
structure. So it makes sense to just have it a pointer to a type from
the very beginning (and a const pointer at that). This patch makes
such a change, and removes all unnecessary casting to/from mp_obj_t.
This patch changes the type signature of .make_new and .call object method
slots to use size_t for n_args and n_kw (was mp_uint_t. Makes code more
efficient when mp_uint_t is larger than a machine word. Doesn't affect
ports when size_t and mp_uint_t have the same size.
Constant folding in the parser can now operate on big ints, whatever
their representation. This is now possible because the parser can create
parse nodes holding arbitrary objects. For the case of small ints the
folding is still efficient in RAM because the folded small int is stored
inplace in the parse node.
Adds 48 bytes to code size on Thumb2 architecture. Helps reduce heap
usage because more constants can be computed at compile time, leading to
a smaller parse tree, and most importantly means that the constants don't
have to be computed at runtime (perhaps more than once). Parser will now
be a little slower when folding due to calls to runtime to do the
arithmetic.
Before this patch, (x+y)*z would be parsed to a tree that contained a
redundant identity parse node corresponding to the parenthesis. With
this patch such nodes are optimised away, which reduces memory
requirements for expressions with parenthesis, and simplifies the
compiler because it doesn't need to handle this identity case.
A parenthesis parse node is still needed for tuples.
Note that even though wrapped in MICROPY_CPYTHON_COMPAT, it is not
fully compatible because the modifications to the dictionary do not
propagate to the actual instance members.
Only types whose iterator instances still fit in 4 machine words have
been changed to use the polymorphic iterator.
Reduces Thumb2 arch code size by 264 bytes.
Previously, mark operation weren't logged at all, while it's quite useful
to see cascade of marks in case of over-marking (and in other cases too).
Previously, sweep was logged for each block of object in memory, but that
doesn't make much sense and just lead to longer output, harder to parse
by a human. Instead, log sweep only once per object. This is similar to
other memory manager operations, e.g. an object is allocated, then freed.
Or object is allocated, then marked, otherwise swept (one log entry per
operation, with the same memory address in each case).
Map indicies are most commonly a qstr, and adding a fast-path for hashing
of a qstr increases overall performance of the runtime.
On pyboard there is a 4% improvement in the pystone benchmark for a cost
of 20 bytes of code size. It's about a 2% improvement on unix.
When looking up and extracting an attribute of an instance, some
attributes must bind self as the first argument to make a working method
call. Previously to this patch, any attribute that was callable had self
bound as the first argument. But Python specs require the check to be
more restrictive, and only functions, closures and generators should have
self bound as the first argument
Addresses issue #1675.
POSIX doesn't guarantee something like that to work, but it works on any
system with careful signal implementation. Roughly, the requirement is
that signal handler is executed in the context of the process, its main
thread, etc. This is true for Linux. Also tested to work without issues
on MacOSX.
This makes all tests pass again for 64bit windows builds which would
previously fail for anything printing ranges (builtin_range/unpack1)
because they were printed as range( ld, ld ).
This is done by reusing the mp_vprintf implementation for MICROPY_OBJ_REPR_D
for 64bit windows builds (both msvc and mingw-w64) since the format specifier
used for 64bit integers is also %lld, or %llu for the unsigned version.
Note these specifiers used to be fetched from inttypes.h, which is the
C99 way of working with printf/scanf in a portable way, but mingw-w64
wants to be backwards compatible with older MS C runtimes and uses
the non-portable %I64i instead of %lld in inttypes.h, so remove the use
of said header again in mpconfig.h and define the specifiers manually.
Ideally we'd use %zu for size_t args, but that's unlikely to be supported
by all runtimes, and we would then need to implement it in mp_printf.
So simplest and most portable option is to use %u and cast the argument
to uint(=unsigned int).
Note: reason for the change is that UINT_FMT can be %llu (size suitable
for mp_uint_t) which is wider than size_t and prints incorrect results.
MICROPY_ENABLE_COMPILER can be used to enable/disable the entire compiler,
which is useful when only loading of pre-compiled bytecode is supported.
It is enabled by default.
MICROPY_PY_BUILTINS_EVAL_EXEC controls support of eval and exec builtin
functions. By default they are only included if MICROPY_ENABLE_COMPILER
is enabled.
Disabling both options saves about 40k of code size on 32-bit x86.
To let unix port implement "machine" functionality on Python level, and
keep consistent naming in other ports (baremetal ports will use magic
module "symlinking" to still load it on "import machine").
Fixes#1701.
For builds where mp_uint_t is larger than size_t, it doesn't make
sense to use such a wide type for qstrs. There can only be as many
qstrs as there is address space on the machine, so size_t is the correct
type to use.
Saves about 3000 bytes of code size when building unix/ port with
MICROPY_OBJ_REPR_D.
size_t is the correct type to use to count things related to the size of
the address space. Using size_t (instead of mp_uint_t) is important for
the efficiency of ports that configure mp_uint_t to larger than the
machine word size.
This allows to have single itertaor type for various internal iterator
types (save rodata space by not having repeating almost-empty type
structures). It works by looking "iternext" method stored in particular
object instance (should be first object field after "base").
Fixes#1684 and makes "not" match Python semantics. The code is also
simplified (the separate MP_BC_NOT opcode is removed) and the patch saves
68 bytes for bare-arm/ and 52 bytes for minimal/.
Previously "not x" was implemented as !mp_unary_op(x, MP_UNARY_OP_BOOL),
so any given object only needs to implement MP_UNARY_OP_BOOL (and the VM
had a special opcode to do the ! bit).
With this patch "not x" is implemented as mp_unary_op(x, MP_UNARY_OP_NOT),
but this operation is caught at the start of mp_unary_op and dispatched as
!mp_obj_is_true(x). mp_obj_is_true has special logic to test for
truthness, and is the correct way to handle the not operation.
Oftentimes, libc, libm, etc. don't come compiled with CPU compressed code
option (Thumb, MIPS16, etc.), but we may still want to use such compressed
code for MicroPython itself.
To use, put the following in mpconfigport.h:
#define MICROPY_OBJ_REPR (MICROPY_OBJ_REPR_D)
#define MICROPY_FLOAT_IMPL (MICROPY_FLOAT_IMPL_DOUBLE)
typedef int64_t mp_int_t;
typedef uint64_t mp_uint_t;
#define UINT_FMT "%llu"
#define INT_FMT "%lld"
Currently does not work with native emitter enabled.
This allows the mp_obj_t type to be configured to something other than a
pointer-sized primitive type.
This patch also includes additional changes to allow the code to compile
when sizeof(mp_uint_t) != sizeof(void*), such as using size_t instead of
mp_uint_t, and various casts.
- add mp_int_t/mp_uint_t typedefs in mpconfigport.h
- fix integer suffixes/formatting in mpconfig.h and mpz.h
- use MICROPY_NLR_SETJMP=1 in Makefile since the current nlrx64.S
implementation causes segfaults in gc_free()
- update README
This takes previous IEEE-754 single precision float implementation, and
converts it to fully portable parametrizable implementation using C99
functions like signbit(), isnan(), isinf(). As long as those functions
are available (they can be defined in adhoc manner of course), and
compiler can perform standard arithmetic and comparison operations on a
float type, this implementation will work with any underlying float type
(including types whose mantissa is larger than available intergral integer
type).
This change makes the code behave how it was supposed to work when first
written. The avail_slot variable is set to the first free slot when
looking for a key (which would come from deleting an entry). So it's
more efficient (for subsequent lookups) to insert a new key into such a
slot, rather than the very last slot that was searched.
MICROPY_PERSISTENT_CODE must be enabled, and then enabling
MICROPY_PERSISTENT_CODE_LOAD/SAVE (either or both) will allow loading
and/or saving of code (at the moment just bytecode) from/to a .mpy file.
Main changes when MICROPY_PERSISTENT_CODE is enabled are:
- qstrs are encoded as 2-byte fixed width in the bytecode
- all pointers are removed from bytecode and put in const_table (this
includes const objects and raw code pointers)
Ultimately this option will enable persistence for not just bytecode but
also native code.
Currently, the only place that clears the bit is in gc_collect.
So if a block with a finalizer is allocated, and subsequently
freed, and then the block is reallocated with no finalizer then
the bit remains set.
This could also be fixed by having gc_alloc clear the bit, but
I'm pretty sure that free is called way less than alloc, so doing
it in free is more efficient.
This patch adds/subtracts a constant from the 30-bit float representation
so that str/qstr representations are favoured: they now have all the high
bits set to zero. This makes encoding/decoding qstr strings more
efficient (and they are used more often than floats, which are now
slightly less efficient to encode/decode).
Saves about 300 bytes of code space on Thumb 2 arch.
py/mphal.h contains declarations for generic mp_hal_XXX functions, such
as stdio and delay/ticks, which ports should provide definitions for. A
port will also provide mphalport.h with further HAL declarations.
This makes format specifiers ~ fully compatible with CPython.
Adds 24 bytes for stmhal port (because previosuly we had to catch and report
it's unsupported to user).
Scenario: module1 depends on some common file from lib/, so specifies it
in its SRC_MOD, and the same situation with module2, then common file
from lib/ eventually ends up listed twice in $(OBJ), which leads to link
errors.
Make is equipped to deal with such situation easily, quoting the manual:
"The value of $^ omits duplicate prerequisites, while $+ retains them and
preserves their order." So, just use $^ consistently in all link targets.
This saves around 1000 bytes (Thumb2 arch) because in repr "C" it is
costly to check and extract a qstr. So making such check/extract a
function instead of a macro saves lots of code space.
This new object representation puts floats into the object word instead
of on the heap, at the expense of reducing their precision to 30 bits.
It only makes sense when the word size is 32-bits.
Cortex-M0, M0+ and M1 only have ARMv6-M Thumb/Thumb2 instructions. M3,
M4 and M7 have a superset of these, named ARMv7-M. This patch adds a
config option to enable support of the superset of instructions.
It makes much more sense to do constant folding in the parser while the
parse tree is being built. This eliminates the need to create parse
nodes that will just be folded away. The code is slightly simpler and a
bit smaller as well.
Constant folding now has a configuration option,
MICROPY_COMP_CONST_FOLDING, which is enabled by default.
With this patch parse nodes are allocated sequentially in chunks. This
reduces fragmentation of the heap and prevents waste at the end of
individually allocated parse nodes.
Saves roughly 20% of RAM during parse stage.
This patch adds more fine grained error message control for errors when
parsing integers (now has terse, normal and detailed). When detailed is
enabled, the error now escapes bytes when printing them so they can be
more easily seen.
When creating constant mpz's, the length of the mpz must be exactly how
many digits are used (not allocated) otherwise these numbers are not
compatible with dynamically allocated numbers.
Addresses issue #1448.
4 spaces are added at start of line to match previous indent, and if
previous line ended in colon.
Backspace deletes 4 space if only spaces begin a line.
Configurable via MICROPY_REPL_AUTO_INDENT. Disabled by default.
This optimises (in speed and code size) for the common case where the
binary op for the bool object is supported. Unsupported binary ops
still behave the same.
Function annotations are only needed when the native emitter is enabled
and when the current scope is emitted in viper mode. All other times
the annotations can be skipped completely.
Fetch the current usb mode and return a string representation when
pyb.usb_mode() is called with no args. The possible string values are interned
as qstr's. None will be returned if an incorrect mode is set.
Indeed, this flag efectively selects architecture target, and must
consistently apply to all compiles and links, including 3rd-party
libraries, unlike CFLAGS, which have MicroPython-specific setting.
unix-cpy was originally written to get semantic equivalent with CPython
without writing functional tests. When writing the initial
implementation of uPy it was a long way between lexer and functional
tests, so the half-way test was to make sure that the bytecode was
correct. The idea was that if the uPy bytecode matched CPython 1-1 then
uPy would be proper Python if the bytecodes acted correctly. And having
matching bytecode meant that it was less likely to miss some deep
subtlety in the Python semantics that would require an architectural
change later on.
But that is all history and it no longer makes sense to retain the
ability to output CPython bytecode, because:
1. It outputs CPython 3.3 compatible bytecode. CPython's bytecode
changes from version to version, and seems to have changed quite a bit
in 3.5. There's no point in changing the bytecode output to match
CPython anymore.
2. uPy and CPy do different optimisations to the bytecode which makes it
harder to match.
3. The bytecode tests are not run. They were never part of Travis and
are not run locally anymore.
4. The EMIT_CPYTHON option needs a lot of extra source code which adds
heaps of noise, especially in compile.c.
5. Now that there is an extensive test suite (which tests functionality)
there is no need to match the bytecode. Some very subtle behaviour is
tested with the test suite and passing these tests is a much better
way to stay Python-language compliant, rather than trying to match
CPy bytecode.
Previous to this patch there were some cases where line numbers for
errors were 0 (unknown). Now the compiler attempts to give a better
line number where possible, in some cases giving the line number of the
closest statement, and other cases the line number of the inner-most
scope of the error (eg the line number of the start of the function).
This helps to give good (and sometimes exact) line numbers for
ViperTypeError exceptions.
This patch also makes sure that the first compile error (eg SyntaxError)
that is encountered is reported (previously it was the last one that was
reported).
When looking to see if the REPL input needs to be continued on the next
line, don't look inside strings for unmatched ()[]{} ''' or """.
Addresses issue #1387.
ViperTypeError now includes filename and function name where the error
occurred. The line number is the line number of the start of the
function definition, which is the best that can be done without a lot
more work.
Partially addresses issue #1381.
This patch makes configurable, via MICROPY_QSTR_BYTES_IN_HASH, the
number of bytes used for a qstr hash. It was originally fixed at 2
bytes, and now defaults to 2 bytes. Setting it to 1 byte will save
ROM and RAM at a small expense of hash collisions.
Previous to this patch all interned strings lived in their own malloc'd
chunk. On average this wastes N/2 bytes per interned string, where N is
the number-of-bytes for a quanta of the memory allocator (16 bytes on 32
bit archs).
With this patch interned strings are concatenated into the same malloc'd
chunk when possible. Such chunks are enlarged inplace when possible,
and shrunk to fit when a new chunk is needed.
RAM savings with this patch are highly varied, but should always show an
improvement (unless only 3 or 4 strings are interned). New version
typically uses about 70% of previous memory for the qstr data, and can
lead to savings of around 10% of total memory footprint of a running
script.
Costs about 120 bytes code size on Thumb2 archs (depends on how many
calls to gc_realloc are made).
I checked the entire codebase, and every place that vstr_init_len
was called, there was a call to mp_obj_new_str_from_vstr after it.
mp_obj_new_str_from_vstr always tries to reallocate a new buffer
1 byte larger than the original to store the terminating null
character.
In many cases, if we allocated the initial buffer to be 1 byte
longer, we can prevent this extra allocation, and just reuse
the originally allocated buffer.
Asking to read 256 bytes and only getting 100 will still cause
the extra allocation, but if you ask to read 256 and get 256
then the extra allocation will be optimized away.
Yes - the reallocation is optimized in the heap to try and reuse
the buffer if it can, but it takes quite a few cycles to figure
this out.
Note by Damien: vstr_init_len should now be considered as a
string-init convenience function and used only when creating
null-terminated objects.
Previous to this patch, if "abcd" and "ab" were possible completions
to tab-completing "a", then tab would expand to "abcd" straight away
if this identifier appeared first in the dict.
The TimeoutError is useful for some modules, specially the the
socket module. TimeoutError can then be alised to socket.timeout
and then Python code can differentiate between socket.error and
socket.timeout.
When "micropython -m pkg.mod" command was used, relative imports in pkg.mod
didn't work, because pkg.mod.__name__ was set to __main__, and the fact that
it's a package submodule was missed. This is an original workaround to this
issue. TODO: investigate and compare how CPython deals with this issue.
Previous to this patch each time a bytes object was referenced a new
instance (with the same data) was created. With this patch a single
bytes object is created in the compiler and is loaded directly at execute
time as a true constant (similar to loading bignum and float objects).
This saves on allocating RAM and means that bytes objects can now be
used when the memory manager is locked (eg in interrupts).
The MP_BC_LOAD_CONST_BYTES bytecode was removed as part of this.
Generated bytecode is slightly larger due to storing a pointer to the
bytes object instead of the qstr identifier.
Code size is reduced by about 60 bytes on Thumb2 architectures.
Previous to this patch a call such as list.append(1, 2) would lead to a
seg fault. This is because list.append is a builtin method and the first
argument to such methods is always assumed to have the correct type.
Now, when a builtin method is extracted like this it is wrapped in a
checker object which checks the the type of the first argument before
calling the builtin function.
This feature is contrelled by MICROPY_BUILTIN_METHOD_CHECK_SELF_ARG and
is enabled by default.
See issue #1216.
mpconfigport.mk contains configuration options which affect the way
MicroPython is linked. In this regard, it's "stronger" configuration
dependency than even mpconfigport.h, so if we rebuild everything on
mpconfigport.h change, we certianly should of that on mpconfigport.mk
change too.
If heap allocation for the Python-stack of a function fails then we may
as well allocate the Python-stack on the C stack. This will allow to
run more code without using the heap.
This allows to do "ar[i]" and "ar[i] = val" in viper when ar is a Python
object and i and/or val are native viper types (eg ints).
Patch also includes tests for this feature.
This patch converts Q(abc) to "Q(abc)" to protect the abc from the
C preprocessor, then converts back after the preprocessor is finished.
So now we can safely put includes in mpconfig(port).h, and also
preprocess qstrdefsport.h (latter is now done also in this patch).
Addresses issue #1252.
C's printf will pad nan/inf differently to CPython. Our implementation
originally conformed to C, now it conforms to CPython's way.
Tests for this are also added in this patch.
This drops the size of unicode_isxdigit from 0x1e + 0x02 filler to
0x14 bytes (so net code reduction of 12 bytes) and will make
unicode_is_xdigit perform slightly faster.
This allows using (almost) the same code for printing floats everywhere,
removes the dependency on sprintf and uses just snprintf and
applies an msvc-specific fix for snprintf in a single place so
nan/inf are now printed correctly.
mp_obj_get_int_truncated will raise a TypeError if the argument is not
an integral type. Use mp_obj_int_get_truncated only when you know the
argument is a small or big int.
Hashing is now done using mp_unary_op function with MP_UNARY_OP_HASH as
the operator argument. Hashing for int, str and bytes still go via
fast-path in mp_unary_op since they are the most common objects which
need to be hashed.
This lead to quite a bit of code cleanup, and should be more efficient
if anything. It saves 176 bytes code space on Thumb2, and 360 bytes on
x86.
The only loss is that the error message "unhashable type" is now the
more generic "unsupported type for __hash__".
Unfortunately, MP_OBJ_STOP_ITERATION doesn't have means to pass an associated
value, so we can't optimize StopIteration exception with (non-None) argument
to MP_OBJ_STOP_ITERATION.
When generator raises exception, it is automatically terminated (by setting
its code_state.ip to 0), which interferes with this check.
Triggered in particular by CPython's test_pep380.py.
Exceptions in .close() should be ignored (dumped to sys.stderr, not
propagated), but in uPy, they are propagated. Fix would require
nlr-wrapping .close() call, which is expensive. Bu on the other hand,
.close() is not called often, so maybe that's not too bad (depends,
if it's finally called and that causes stack overflow, there's nothing
good in that). And yet on another hand, .close() can be implemented to
catch exceptions on its side, and that should be the right choice.
The code was apparently broken after 9988618e0e
"py: Implement full func arg passing for native emitter.". This attempts to
propagate those changes to ARM emitter.
User instances are hashable by default (using __hash__ inherited from
"object"). But if __eq__ is defined and __hash__ not defined in particular
class, instance is not hashable.
Having NotImplemented as MP_OBJ_SENTINEL turned out to be problematic
(it needs to be checked for in a lot of places, otherwise it'll crash
as would pass MP_OBJ_IS_OBJ()), so made a proper singleton value like
Ellipsis, both of them sharing the same type.
From https://docs.python.org/3/library/constants.html#NotImplemented :
"Special value which should be returned by the binary special methods
(e.g. __eq__(), __lt__(), __add__(), __rsub__(), etc.) to indicate
that the operation is not implemented with respect to the other type;
may be returned by the in-place binary special methods (e.g. __imul__(),
__iand__(), etc.) for the same purpose. Its truth value is true."
Some people however appear to abuse it to mean "no value" when None is
a legitimate value (don't do that).
Can complete names in the global namespace, as well as a chain of
attributes, eg pyb.Pin.board.<tab> will give a list of all board pins.
Costs 700 bytes ROM on Thumb2 arch, but greatly increases usability of
REPL prompt.
This doesn't handle case fo enclosed except blocks, but once again,
sys.exc_info() support is a workaround for software which uses it
instead of properly catching exceptions via variable in except clause.
The implementation is very basic and non-compliant and provided solely for
CPython compatibility. The function itself is bad Python2 heritage, its
usage is discouraged.
Before this patch a "with" block needed to create a bound method object
on the heap for the __exit__ call. Now it doesn't because we use
load_method instead of load_attr, and save the method+self on the stack.
This fixes a long standing problem that viper code generation gave
terrible error messages, and actually no errors on pyboard where
assertions are disabled.
Now all compile-time errors are raised as proper Python exceptions, and
are of type ViperTypeError.
Addresses issue #940.
Adds support for the following Thumb2 VFP instructions, via the option
MICROPY_EMIT_INLINE_THUMB_FLOAT:
vcmp
vsqrt
vneg
vcvt_f32_to_s32
vcvt_s32_to_f32
vmrs
vmov
vldr
vstr
vadd
vsub
vmul
vdiv
Previous to this patch the printing mechanism was a bit of a tangled
mess. This patch attempts to consolidate printing into one interface.
All (non-debug) printing now uses the mp_print* family of functions,
mainly mp_printf. All these functions take an mp_print_t structure as
their first argument, and this structure defines the printing backend
through the "print_strn" function of said structure.
Printing from the uPy core can reach the platform-defined print code via
two paths: either through mp_sys_stdout_obj (defined pert port) in
conjunction with mp_stream_write; or through the mp_plat_print structure
which uses the MP_PLAT_PRINT_STRN macro to define how string are printed
on the platform. The former is only used when MICROPY_PY_IO is defined.
With this new scheme printing is generally more efficient (less layers
to go through, less arguments to pass), and, given an mp_print_t*
structure, one can call mp_print_str for efficiency instead of
mp_printf("%s", ...). Code size is also reduced by around 200 bytes on
Thumb2 archs.
In particular, numbers which are less than 1.0 but which
round up to 1.0.
This also makes those numbers which round up to 1.0 to
print with e+00 rather than e-00 for those formats which
print exponents.
Addresses issue #1178.
This simplifies the API for objects and reduces code size (by around 400
bytes on Thumb2, and around 2k on x86). Performance impact was measured
with Pystone score, but change was barely noticeable.
Fixes msvc linker warnings about mismatching sizes between the mp_obj_fdfile_t
struct defined in file.c and the mp_uint_t declarations found in modsys.c and modbuiltins.c
This patch gets full function argument passing working with native
emitter. Includes named args, keyword args, default args, var args
and var keyword args. Fully Python compliant.
It reuses the bytecode mp_setup_code_state function to do all the hard
work. This function is slightly adjusted to accommodate native calls,
and the native emitter is forced a bit to emit similar prelude and
code-info as bytecode.
splitlines() occurs ~179 times in CPython3 standard library, so was
deemed worthy to implement. The method has subtle semantic differences
from just .split("\n"). It is also defined as working for any end-of-line
combination, but this is currently not implemented - it works only with
LF line-endings (which should be OK for text strings on any platforms,
but not OK for bytes).
I.e. in this mode, C stack will never be used to call a Python function,
but if there's no free heap for a call, it will be reported as
RuntimeError (as expected), not MemoryError.
When just the bytecode emitter is needed there is no need to have a
dynamic method table for the emitter back-end, and we can instead
directly call the mp_emit_bc_XXX functions. This gives a significant
reduction in code size and a very slight performance boost for the
compiler.
This patch saves 1160 bytes code on Thumb2 and 972 bytes on x86, when
native emitters are disabled.
Overall savings in code over the last 3 commits are:
bare-arm: 1664 bytes.
minimal: 2136 bytes.
stmhal: 584 bytes (it has native emitter enabled).
cc3200: 1736 bytes.
First pass for the compiler is computing the scope (eg if an identifier
is local or not) and originally had an entire table of methods dedicated
to this, most of which did nothing. With changes from previous commit,
this set of methods can be removed and the methods from the bytecode
emitter used instead, with very little modification -- this is what is
done in this commit.
This factoring has little to no impact on the speed of the compiler
(tested by compiling 3763 Python scripts and timing it).
This factoring reduces code size by about 270-300 bytes on Thumb2 archs,
and 400 bytes on x86.
mp_obj_t internal representation doesn't have to be a pointer to object,
it can be anything.
There's also a support for back-conversion in the form of MP_OBJ_UNCAST.
This is kind of optimization/status quo preserver to minimize patching the
existing code and avoid doing potentially expensive MP_OBJ_CAST over and
over. But then one may imagine implementations where MP_OBJ_UNCAST is very
expensive. But such implementations are unlikely interesting in practice.
Despite initial guess, this code factoring does not hamper performance.
In fact it seems to improve speed by a little: running pystone(1.2) on
pyboard (which gives a very stable result) this patch takes pystones
from 1729.51 up to 1742.16. Also, pystones on x64 increase by around
the same proportion (but it's much noisier).
Taking a look at the generated machine code, stack usage with this patch
is unchanged, and call is tail-optimised with all arguments in
registers. Code size decreases by about 50 bytes on Thumb2 archs.
"Base" should rather refer to "base type"."Base object for attribute
lookup" should rather be just "object".
Also, a case of common subexpression elimination.
Given that there's already support for "fixed table" maps, which are
essentially ordered maps, the implementation of OrderedDict just extends
"fixed table" maps by adding an "is ordered" flag and add/remove
operations, and reuses 95% of objdict code, just making methods tolerant
to both dict and OrderedDict.
Some things are missing so far, like CPython-compatible repr and comparison.
OrderedDict is Disabled by default; enabled on unix and stmhal ports.
These allow to fine-tune the compiler to select whether it optimises
tuple assignments of the form a, b = c, d and a, b, c = d, e, f.
Sensible defaults are provided.
This is rarely used feature which takes enough code to implement, so is
controlled by MICROPY_PY_ARRAY_SLICE_ASSIGN config setting, default off.
But otherwise it may be useful, as allows to update arbitrary-sized data
buffers in-place.
Slice is yet to implement, and actually, slice assignment implemented in
such a way that RHS of assignment should be array of the exact same item
typecode as LHS. CPython has it more relaxed, where RHS can be any sequence
of compatible types (e.g. it's possible to assign list of int's to a
bytearray slice).
Overall, when all "slice write" features are implemented, it may cost ~1KB
of code.
This makes exception traceback info self contained (ie doesn't rely on
list object, which was a bit of a hack), reduces code size, and reduces
RAM footprint of exception by eliminating the list object.
Addresses part of issue #1126.
The implementation of these functions is very large (order 4k) and they
are rarely used, so we don't enable them by default.
They are however enabled in stmhal and unix, since we have the room.
Most of printing infrastructure now uses streams, but mp_obj_print() used
libc's printf(), which led to weird buffering issues in output. So, switch
mp_obj_print() to streams too, even though it may make sense to move it to
a separate file, as it is purely a debugging function now.
Relative imports are based of a package, so we're currently at a module
within a package, we should get to package first.
Also, factor out path travsering operation, but this broke testing for
boundary errors with relative imports. TODO: reintroduce them, together
with proper tests.
Traceback allocation for exception will now never lead to recursive
MemoryError exception - if there's no memory for traceback, it simply
won't be created.
Pushing same NLR record twice would lead to "infinite loop" in nlr_jump
(but more realistically, it will crash as soon as NLR record on stack is
overwritten).
Previous to this patch, a big-int, float or imag constant was interned
(made into a qstr) and then parsed at runtime to create an object each
time it was needed. This is wasteful in RAM and not efficient. Now,
these constants are parsed straight away in the parser and turned into
objects. This allows constants with large numbers of digits (so
addresses issue #1103) and takes us a step closer to #722.
To enable parsing constants more efficiently, mp_parse should be allowed
to raise an exception, and mp_compile can already raise a MemoryError.
So these functions need to be protected by an nlr push/pop block.
This patch adds that feature in all places. This allows to simplify how
mp_parse and mp_compile are called: they now raise an exception if they
have an error and so explicit checking is not needed anymore.
This cleans up vstr so that it's a pure "variable buffer", and the user
can decide whether they need to add a terminating null byte. In most
places where vstr is used, the vstr did not need to be null terminated
and so this patch saves code size, a tiny bit of RAM, and makes vstr
usage more efficient. When null termination is needed it must be
done explicitly using vstr_null_terminate.
Eg, "() + 1" now tells you that __add__ is not supported for tuple and
int types (before it just said the generic "binary operator"). We reuse
the table of names for slot lookup because it would be a waste of code
space to store the pretty name for each operator.
- namedtuple was wrongly using MP_OBJ_QSTR_VALUE instead of mp_obj_str_get_qstr,
so when passed a non-interned string it would segfault; fix this by using mp_obj_str_get_qstr
- store the namedtuple field names as qstrs so it is not needed to use mp_obj_str_get_qstr
everytime the field name has to be accessed. This also slighty increases performance when
fetching attributes
There was really weird warning (promoted to error) when building Windows
port. Exact cause is still unknown, but it uncovered another issue:
8-bit and unicode str_make_new implementations should be mutually exclusive,
and not built at the same time. What we had is that bytes_decode() pulled
8-bit str_make_new() even for unicode build.
With this patch str/bytes construction is streamlined. Always use a
vstr to build a str/bytes object. If the size is known beforehand then
use vstr_init_len to allocate only required memory. Otherwise use
vstr_init and the vstr will grow as needed. Then use
mp_obj_new_str_from_vstr to create a str/bytes object using the vstr
memory.
Saves code ROM: 68 bytes on stmhal, 108 bytes on bare-arm, and 336 bytes
on unix x64.
This patch allows to reuse vstr memory when creating str/bytes object.
This improves memory usage.
Also saves code ROM: 128 bytes on stmhal, 92 bytes on bare-arm, and 88
bytes on unix x64.
pyexec_friendly_repl_process_char() and friends, useful for ports which
integrate into existing cooperative multitasking system.
Unlike readline() refactor before, this was implemented in less formal,
trial&error process, minor functionality regressions are still known
(like soft&hard reset support). So, original loop-based pyexec_friendly_repl()
is left intact, specific implementation selectable by config setting.
Bytecode also needs a pass to compute the stack size. This is because
the state size of the bytecode function is encoded as a variable uint,
so we must know the value of this uint before we encode it (otherwise
the size of the generated code changes from one pass to the next).
Having an entire pass for this seems wasteful (in time). Alternative is
to allocate fixed space for the state size (would need 3-4 bytes to be
general, when 1 byte is usually sufficient) which uses a bit of extra
RAM per bytecode function, and makes the code less elegant in places
where this uint is encoded/decoded.
So, for now, opt for an extra pass.
Native code has GC-heap pointers in it so it must be scanned. But on
unix port memory for native functions is mmap'd, and so it must have
explicit code to scan it for root pointers.
Previously to this patch all constant string/bytes objects were
interned by the compiler, and this lead to crashes when the qstr was too
long (noticeable now that qstr length storage defaults to 1 byte).
With this patch, long string/bytes objects are never interned, and are
referenced directly as constant objects within generated code using
load_const_obj.
This new config option sets how many fixed-number-of-bytes to use to
store the length of each qstr. Previously this was hard coded to 2,
but, as per issue #1056, this is considered overkill since no-one
needs identifiers longer than 255 bytes.
With this patch the number of bytes for the length is configurable, and
defaults to 1 byte. The configuration option filters through to the
makeqstrdata.py script.
Code size savings going from 2 to 1 byte:
- unix x64 down by 592 bytes
- stmhal down by 1148 bytes
- bare-arm down by 284 bytes
Also has RAM savings, and will be slightly more efficient in execution.
Previous patch c38dc3ccc7 allowed any
object to be compared with any other, using pointer comparison for a
fallback. As such, existing code which checked for this case is no
longer needed.
Compiler optimises lookup of module.CONST when enabled (an existing
feature). Disabled by default; enabled for unix, windows, stmhal.
Costs about 100 bytes ROM on stmhal.
This allows to enable mem-info functions in micropython module, even if
MICROPY_MEM_STATS is not enabled. In this case, you get mem_info and
qstr_info but not mem_{total,current,peak}.
GC for unix/windows builds doesn't make use of the bss section anymore,
so we do not need the (sometimes complicated) build features and code related to it
This is a simple optimisation inspired by JITing technology: we cache in
the bytecode (using 1 byte) the offset of the last successful lookup in
a map. This allows us next time round to check in that location in the
hash table (mp_map_t) for the desired entry, and if it's there use that
entry straight away. Otherwise fallback to a normal map lookup.
Works for LOAD_NAME, LOAD_GLOBAL, LOAD_ATTR and STORE_ATTR opcodes.
On a few tests it gives >90% cache hit and greatly improves speed of
code.
Disabled by default. Enabled for unix and stmhal ports.
This patch consolidates all global variables in py/ core into one place,
in a global structure. Root pointers are all located together to make
GC tracing easier and more efficient.
This is consistent with how BC_JUMP was handled before. We never show jumps
destinations relative to jump instrucion itself, only relative to beginning
of function. Another useful way to show them as absolute (real memory
address), and this change makes result expected and consistent with how
BC_JUMP is shown.
The compiler treats `if (MICROPY_ERROR_REPORTING == MICROPY_ERROR_REPORTING_TERSE)` as
a normal statement and generates assembly for it in degug mode as if MICROPY_ERROR_REPORTING
is an actual symbol instead of a preprocessor definition.
As such linking fails because mp_arg_error_terse_mismatch is not defined when
MICROPY_ERROR_REPORTING_TERSE is detailed or normal.
We are not word-for-word compatible with CPython exceptions, so we are
free to make them short but informative in order to reduce code size.
Also, try to make messages the same as existing ones where possible.
This fixes conversion when float type has more mantissa bits than small int,
and float value has small exponent. This is for example the case of 32-bit
platform using doubles, and converting value of time.time(). Conversion of
floats with larg exponnet is still not handled correctly.
This is for efficiency, so we don't need to subtract 1 from the ip
before storing it to code_state->ip. It saves a lot of ROM bytes on
unix and stmhal.
Mirroring ip to a volatile memory variable for each opcode is an expensive
operation. For quite a lot of often executed opcodes like stack manipulation
or jumps, exceptions cannot actually happen. So, record ip only for opcode
where that's possible.
This patch makes the MICROPY_PY_BUILTINS_SLICE compile-time option
fully disable the builtin slice operation (when set to 0). This
includes removing the slice sytanx from the grammar. Now, enabling
slice costs 4228 bytes on unix x64, and 1816 bytes on stmhal.
This patch makes MICROPY_PY_BUILTINS_SET compile-time option fully
disable the builtin set object (when set to 0). This includes removing
set constructor/comprehension from the grammar, the compiler and the
emitters. Now, enabling set costs 8168 bytes on unix x64, and 3576
bytes on stmhal.
