This completes non-automatic interning of strings in the parser, so that
doc strings don't take up RAM. It complicates the parser and compiler,
and bloats stmhal by about 300 bytes. It's complicated because now
there are 2 kinds of parse-nodes that can be strings: interned leaves
and non-interned structs.
io.FileIO is binary I/O, ans actually optional. Default file type is
io.TextIOWrapper, which provides str results. CPython3 explicitly describes
io.TextIOWrapper as buffered I/O, but we don't have buffering support yet
anyway.
Now schedule is: for native types, we call ->make_new() C-level method, which
should perform actions of __new__ and __init__ (note that this is not
compliant, but is efficient), but for user types, __new__ and __init__ are
called as expected.
Also, make sure we convert scalar attribute value to a bound-pair tight in
mp_obj_class_lookup() method, which avoids converting it again and again in
its callers.
__debug__ now resolves to True or False. Its value needs to be set by
mp_set_debug().
TODO: call mp_set_debug in unix/ port.
TODO: optimise away "if False:" statements in compiler.
Updated functions now do proper checking that n_kw==0, and are simpler
because they don't have to explicitly raise an exception. Down side is
that the error messages no longer include the function name, but that's
acceptable.
Saves order 300 text bytes on x64 and ARM.
This is not fully correct re: error handling, because we should check that
that types are used consistently (only str's or only bytes), but magically
makes lot of functions support bytes.
Two things are handled here: allow to compare native subtypes of tuple,
e.g. namedtuple (TODO: should compare type too, currently compared
duck-typedly by content). Secondly, allow user sunclasses of tuples
(and its subtypes) be compared either. "Magic" I did previously in
objtype.c covers only one argument (lhs is many), so we're in trouble
when lhs is native type - there's no other option besides handling
rhs in special manner. Fortunately, this patch outlines approach with
fast path for native types.
This was hit when trying to make urlparse.py from stdlib run. Took
quite some time to debug.
TODO: Reconsile bound method creation process better, maybe callable is
to generic type to bind at all?
Parser shouldn't raise exceptions, so needs to check when memory
allocation fails. This patch does that for the initial set up of the
parser state.
Also, we now put the parser object on the stack. It's small enough to
go there instead of on the heap.
This partially addresses issue #558.
"object" type in MicroPython currently doesn't implement any methods, and
hopefully, we'll try to stay like that for as long as possible. Even if we
have to add something eventually, look up from there might be handled in
adhoc manner, as last resort (that's not compliant with Python3 MRO, but
we're already non-compliant). Hence: 1) no need to spend type trying to
lookup anything in object; 2) no need to allocate subobject when explicitly
inheriting from object; 3) and having multiple bases inheriting from object
is not a case of incompatible multiple inheritance.
This patch simplifies the glue between native emitter and runtime,
and handles viper code like inline assember: return values are
converted to Python objects.
Fixes issue #531.
You can now do:
X = const(123)
Y = const(456 + X)
and the compiler will replace X and Y with their values.
See discussion in issue #266 and issue #573.
In case of empty non-blocking read()/write(), both return None. read()
cannot return 0, as that means EOF, so returns another value, and then
write() just follows. This is still pretty unexpected, and typical
"if not len:" check would treat this as EOF. Well, non-blocking files
require special handling!
This also kind of makes it depending on POSIX, but well, anything else
should emulate POSIX anyway ;-).
Need to have a policy as to how far we go adding keyword support to
built ins. It's nice to have, and gets better CPython compatibility,
but hurts the micro nature of uPy.
Addresses issue #577.
There are 2 locations in parser, and 1 in compiler, where memory
allocation is not precise. In the parser it's the rule stack and result
stack, in the compiler it's the array for the identifiers in the current
scope. All other mallocs are exact (ie they don't allocate more than is
needed).
This patch adds tuning options (MP_ALLOC_*) to mpconfig.h for these 3
inexact allocations.
The inexact allocations in the parser should actually be close to
logarithmic: you need an exponentially larger script (absent pathological
cases) to use up more room on the rule and result stacks. As such, the
default allocation policy for these is now to start with a modest sized
stack, but grow only in small increments.
For the identifier arrays in the compiler, these now start out quite
small (4 entries, since most functions don't have that many ids), and
grow incrementally by 6 (since if you have more ids than 4, you probably
have quite a few more, but it wouldn't be exponentially more).
Partially addresses issue #560.
This will work if MICROPY_DEBUG_PRINTERS is defined, which is only for
unix/windows ports. This makes it convenient to user uPy normally, but
easily get bytecode dump on the spot if needed, without constant recompiles
back and forth.
TODO: Add more useful debug output, adjust verbosity level on which
specifically bytecode dump happens.
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/.
By default mingw outputs 3 digits instead of the standard 2 so all float
tests using printf fail. Using setenv at the start of the program fixes this.
To accomodate calling platform specific initialization a
MICROPY_MAIN_INIT_FUNC macro is used which is called in mp_init()
The original parsing would error out on any C declarations that are not typedefs
or extern variables. This limits what can go in mpconfig.h and mpconfigport.h,
as they are included in qstr.h. For instance even a function declaration would be
rejected and including system headers is a complete no-go.
That seems too limiting for a global config header, so makeqstrdata now
ignores everything that does not match a qstr definition.
alloca() is declared in alloca.h which als happens to be included by stdlib.h.
On mingw however it resides in malloc.h only.
So if we include alloca.h directly, and add an alloca.h for mingw in it's port
directory we can get rid of the mingw-specific define to include malloc.h
and the other ports are happy as well.
Biggest part of this support is refactoring mp_obj_class_lookup() to return
standard "bound member" pair (mp_obj_t[2]). Actual support of inherited
native methods is 3 lines then. Some inherited features may be not supported
yet (e.g. native class methods, native properties, etc., etc.). There may
be opportunities for further optimization too.
