Damien George cc2bd63c57 py/emitnative: Implement yield and yield-from in native emitter.
This commit adds first class support for yield and yield-from in the native
emitter, including send and throw support, and yields enclosed in exception
handlers (which requires pulling down the NLR stack before yielding, then
rebuilding it when resuming).

This has been fully tested and is working on unix x86 and x86-64, and
stm32.  Also basic tests have been done with the esp8266 port.  Performance
of existing native code is unchanged.

Damien George 43f1848bfa py: Make viper functions have the same entry signature as native.
This commit makes viper functions have the same signature as native
functions, at the level of the emitter/assembler.  This means that viper
functions can now be wrapped in the same uPy object as native functions.

Viper functions are now responsible for parsing their arguments (before it
was done by the runtime), and this makes calling them more efficient (in
most cases) because the viper entry code can be custom generated to suit
the signature of the function.

This change also opens the way forward for viper functions to take
arbitrary numbers of arguments, and for them to handle globals correctly,
among other things.

Damien George 4f3d9429b5 py: Fix native functions so they run with their correct globals context.
Prior to this commit a function compiled with the native decorator
@micropython.native would not work correctly when accessing global
variables, because the globals dict was not being set upon function entry.

This commit fixes this problem by, upon function entry, setting as the
current globals dict the globals dict context the function was defined
within, as per normal Python semantics, and as bytecode does.  Upon
function exit the original globals dict is restored.

In order to restore the globals dict when an exception is raised the native
function must guard its internals with an nlr_push/nlr_pop pair.  Because
this push/pop is relatively expensive, in both C stack usage for the
nlr_buf_t and CPU execution time, the implementation here optimises things
as much as possible.  First, the compiler keeps track of whether a function
even needs to access global variables.  Using this information the native
emitter then generates three different kinds of code:

1. no globals used, no exception handlers: no nlr handling code and no
   setting of the globals dict.

2. globals used, no exception handlers: an nlr_buf_t is allocated on the
   C stack but it is not used if the globals dict is unchanged, saving
   execution time because nlr_push/nlr_pop don't need to run.

3. function has exception handlers, may use globals: an nlr_buf_t is
   allocated and nlr_push/nlr_pop are always called.

In the end, native functions that don't access globals and don't have
exception handlers will run more efficiently than those that do.

Fixes issue #1573.

Damien George 4ae7111573 py/emitnative: Add support for return/break/continue in try and with.
This patch adds full support for unwinding jumps to the native emitter.
This means that return/break/continue can be used in try-except,
try-finally and with statements.  For code that doesn't use unwinding jumps
there is almost no overhead added to the generated code.

Damien George a3de776486 py/emitnative: Optimise and improve exception handling in native code.
Prior to this patch, native code would use a full nlr_buf_t for each
exception handler (try-except, try-finally, with).  For nested exception
handlers this would use a lot of C stack and be rather inefficient.

This patch changes how exceptions are handled in native code by setting up
only a single nlr_buf_t context for the entire function, and then manages a
state machine (using the PC) to work out which exception handler to run
when an exception is raised by an nlr_jump.  This keeps the C stack usage
at a constant level regardless of the depth of Python exception blocks.

The patch also fixes an existing bug when local variables are written to
within an exception handler, then their value was incorrectly restored if
an exception was raised (since the nlr_jump would restore register values,
back to the point of the nlr_push).

And it also gets nested try-finally+with working with the viper emitter.

Broadly speaking, efficiency of executing native code that doesn't use
any exception blocks is unchanged, and emitted code size is only slightly
increased for such function.  C stack usage of all native functions is
either equal or less than before.  Emitted code size for native functions
that use exception blocks is increased by roughly 10% (due in part to
fixing of above-mentioned bugs).

But, most importantly, this patch allows to implement more Python features
in native code, like unwind jumps and yielding from within nested exception
blocks.

Damien George 3cf02be4e0 py/emitnx86: Fix 32-bit x86 native emitter build by including header. 2018-05-04 20:39:16 +10:00
Damien George ef12a4bd05 py: Refactor how native emitter code is compiled with a file per arch.
Instead of emitnative.c having configuration code for each supported
architecture, and then compiling this file multiple times with different
macros defined, this patch adds a file per architecture with the necessary
code to configure the native emitter.  These files then #include the
emitnative.c file.

This simplifies emitnative.c (which is already very large), and simplifies
the build system because emitnative.c no longer needs special handling for
compilation and qstr extraction.
