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.

vcmp
vsqrt
vneg
vcvt_f32_to_s32
vcvt_s32_to_f32
vmrs
vmov
vldr
vstr
vadd
vsub

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).
