Damien George 5640e6dacd py: Provide mp_decode_uint_value to help optimise stack usage.
This has a noticeable improvement on x86-64 and Thumb2 archs, where stack
usage is reduced by 2 machine words in the VM.

Damien George 71a3d6ec3b py: Reduce size of mp_code_state_t structure.
Instead of caching data that is constant (code_info, const_table and
n_state), store just a pointer to the underlying function object from which
this data can be derived.

This helps reduce stack usage for the case when the mp_code_state_t
structure is stored on the stack, as well as heap usage when it's stored
on the heap.

The downside is that the VM becomes a little more complex because it now
needs to derive the data from the underlying function object.  But this
doesn't impact the performance by much (if at all) because most of the
decoding of data is done outside the main opcode loop.  Measurements using
pystone show that little to no performance is lost.

This patch also fixes a nasty bug whereby the bytecode can be reclaimed by
the GC during execution.  With this patch there is always a pointer to the
function object held by the VM during execution, since it's stored in the
mp_code_state_t structure.

Damien George f4ee9f8853 py/bc.h: Rename _mp_code_state to _mp_code_state_t.
This rename was missed in the previous patch.

Damien George 1d899e1783 py/bc: Use size_t instead of mp_uint_t to count size of state and args. 2015-12-17 12:33:42 +00:00
Damien George 999cedb90f py: Wrap all obj-ptr conversions in MP_OBJ_TO_PTR/MP_OBJ_FROM_PTR.
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.

Damien George d8c834c95d py: Add MICROPY_PERSISTENT_CODE_LOAD/SAVE to load/save bytecode.
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.

Conceptually it is part of code state, so let it be allocated in the same way
as the rest of state.

Damien George 74eb44c392 py: Reduce size of VM exception stack element by 1 machine word.
This optimisation reduces the VM exception stack element (mp_exc_stack_t)
by 1 word, by using bit 1 of a pointer to store whether the opcode was a
FINALLY or WITH opcode.  This optimisation was pending, waiting for
maturity of the exception handling code, which has now proven itself.

Saves 1 machine word RAM for each exception (4->3 words per exception).
Increases stmhal code by 4 bytes, and decreases unix x64 code by 32
bytes.

Damien George 1084b0f9c2 py: Store bytecode arg names in bytecode (were in own array).
This saves a lot of RAM for 2 reasons:

1. For functions that don't have default values, var args or var kw
args (which is a large number of functions in the general case), the
mp_obj_fun_bc_t type now fits in 1 GC block (previously needed 2 because
of the extra pointer to point to the arg_names array).  So this saves 16
bytes per function (32 bytes on 64-bit machines).

2. Combining separate memory regions generally saves RAM because the
unused bytes at the end of the GC block are saved for 1 of the blocks
(since that block doesn't exist on its own anymore).  So generally this
saves 8 bytes per function.

Tested by importing lots of modules:

- 64-bit Linux gave about an 8% RAM saving for 86k of used RAM.
- pyboard gave about a 6% RAM saving for 31k of used RAM.

Damien George b534e1b9f1 py: Use variable length encoded uints in more places in bytecode.
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.

Damien George 3c658a4e75 py: Fix bug where GC collected native/viper/asm function data.
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.

Paul Sokolovsky b4ebad3310 vm: Factor out structure with code execution state and pass it around.
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.)).

Damien George 04b9147e15 Add license header to (almost) all files.
Blanket wide to all .c and .h files.  Some files originating from ST are
difficult to deal with (license wise) so it was left out of those.

Also merged modpyb.h, modos.h, modstm.h and modtime.h in stmhal/.

Paul Sokolovsky 0c904df8e6 vm: Save current active exception on opening new try block.
Required to reraise correct exceptions in except block, regardless if more
try blocks with active exceptions happen in the same except block.

P.S. This "automagic reraise" appears to be quite wasteful feature of Python
- we need to save pending exception just in case it *might* be reraised.
Instead, programmer could explcitly capture exception to a variable using
"except ... as var", and reraise that. So, consider disabling argless raise
support as an optimization.

Damien George bee17b00e3 py: Put n_state for bytecode in the bytecode prelude.
Rationale: setting up the stack (state for locals and exceptions) is
really part of the "code", it's the prelude of the function.  For
example, native code adjusts the stack pointer on entry to the function.
Native code doesn't need to know n_state for any other reason.  So
putting the state size in the bytecode prelude is sensible.

It reduced ROM usage on STM by about 30 bytes :)  And makes it easier to
pass information about the bytecode between functions.

Damien d99b05282d Change object representation from 1 big union to individual structs.
A big change.  Micro Python objects are allocated as individual structs
with the first element being a pointer to the type information (which
is itself an object).  This scheme follows CPython.  Much more flexible,
not necessarily slower, uses same heap memory, and can allocate objects
statically.

Also change name prefix, from py_ to mp_ (mp for Micro Python).
