Before that, the output was truncated to 32 bits. Only "%x" format is
handled, because a typical use is for addresses.
This refactor actually decreased x86_64 code size by 30 bytes.
This allows the function to raise an exception when unknown keyword args
are passed in. This patch also reduces code size by (in bytes):
bare-arm: -24
minimal x86: -76
unix x64: -56
unix nanbox: -84
stm32: -40
esp8266: -68
cc3200: -48
Furthermore, this patch adds space (" ") to the set of ROM qstrs which
means it doesn't need to be put in RAM if it's ever used.
Return the result of called function. If exception happened, return
MP_OBJ_NULL. Allows to use mp_call_function_*_protected() with callbacks
returning values, etc.
This commit essentially reverts aa9dbb1b03
where this if-condition was added. It seems that even when that commit
was made the code was never reached by any tests, nor reachable by
analysis (see below). The same is true with the code as it currently
stands: no test triggers this if-condition, nor any uasyncio examples.
Analysing the flow of the program also shows that it's not reachable:
==START==
-> to trigger this if condition mp_execute_bytecode() must return
MP_VM_RETURN_YIELD with *sp==MP_OBJ_STOP_ITERATION
-> mp_execute_bytecode() can only return MP_VM_RETURN_YIELD from the
MP_BC_YIELD_VALUE bytecode, which can happen in 2 ways:
-> 1) from a "yield <x>" in bytecode, but <x> must always be a proper
object, never MP_OBJ_STOP_ITERATION; ==END1==
-> 2) via yield from, via mp_resume() which must return
MP_VM_RETURN_YIELD with ret_value==MP_OBJ_STOP_ITERATION, which
can happen in 3 ways:
-> 1) it delegates to mp_obj_gen_resume(); go back to ==START==
-> 2) it returns MP_VM_RETURN_YIELD directly but with a guard that
ret_val!=MP_OBJ_STOP_ITERATION; ==END2==
-> 3) it returns MP_VM_RETURN_YIELD with ret_val set from
mp_call_method_n_kw(), but mp_call_method_n_kw() must return a
proper object, never MP_OBJ_STOP_ITERATION; ==END3==
The above shows there is no way to trigger the if-condition and it can be
removed.
These checks are assumed to be true in all cases where gc_realloc is
called with a valid pointer, so no need to waste code space and time
checking them in a non-debug build.
So long as the input qstr identifier is valid (below the maximum number of
qstrs) the function will always return a valid pointer. This patch
eliminates the "return 0" dead-code.
This patch improves parsing of floating point numbers by converting all the
digits (integer and fractional) together into a number 1 or greater, and
then applying the correct power of 10 at the very end. In particular the
multiple "multiply by 0.1" operations to build a fraction are now combined
together and applied at the same time as the exponent, at the very end.
This helps to retain precision during parsing of floats, and also includes
a check that the number doesn't overflow during the parsing. One benefit
is that a float will have the same value no matter where the decimal point
is located, eg 1.23 == 123e-2.
Before this patch MP_BINARY_OP_IN had two meanings: coming from bytecode it
meant that the args needed to be swapped, but coming from within the
runtime meant that the args were already in the correct order. This lead
to some confusion in the code and comments stating how args were reversed.
It also lead to 2 bugs: 1) containment for a subclass of a native type
didn't work; 2) the expression "{True} in True" would illegally succeed and
return True. In both of these cases it was because the args to
MP_BINARY_OP_IN ended up being reversed twice.
To fix these things this patch introduces MP_BINARY_OP_CONTAINS which
corresponds exactly to the __contains__ special method, and this is the
operator that built-in types should implement. MP_BINARY_OP_IN is now only
emitted by the compiler and is converted to MP_BINARY_OP_CONTAINS by
swapping the arguments.
In mp_binary_op, there is no need to explicitly check for type->getiter
being non-null and raising an exception because this is handled exactly by
mp_getiter(). So just call the latter unconditionally.
This patch introduces a new compile-time config option to disable multiple
inheritance at the Python level: MICROPY_MULTIPLE_INHERITANCE. It is
enabled by default.
Disabling multiple inheritance eliminates a lot of recursion in the call
graph (which is important for some embedded systems), and can be used to
reduce code size for ports that are really constrained (by around 200 bytes
for Thumb2 archs).
With multiple inheritance disabled all tests in the test-suite pass except
those that explicitly test for multiple inheritance.
The function mp_obj_new_str_of_type is a general str object constructor
used in many places in the code to create either a str or bytes object.
When creating a str it should first check if the string data already exists
as an interned qstr, and if so then return the qstr object. This patch
makes the function have such behaviour, which helps to reduce heap usage by
reusing existing interned data where possible.
The old behaviour of mp_obj_new_str_of_type (which didn't check for
existing interned data) is made available through the function
mp_obj_new_str_copy, but should only be used in very special cases.
One consequence of this patch is that the following expression is now True:
'abc' is ' abc '.split()[0]
This patch simplifies the str creation API to favour the common case of
creating a str object that is not forced to be interned. To force
interning of a new str the new mp_obj_new_str_via_qstr function is added,
and should only be used if warranted.
Apart from simplifying the mp_obj_new_str function (and making it have the
same signature as mp_obj_new_bytes), this patch also reduces code size by a
bit (-16 bytes for bare-arm and roughly -40 bytes on the bare-metal archs).
Rationale:
* Calling Python build tool scripts from makefiles should be done
consistently using `python </path/to/script>`, instead of relying on the
correct she-bang line in the script [1] and the executable bit on the
script being set. This is more platform-independent.
* The name/path of the Python executable should always be used via the
makefile variable `PYTHON` set in `py/mkenv.mk`. This way it can be
easily overwritten by the user with `make PYTHON=/path/to/my/python`.
* The Python executable name should be part of the value of the makefile
variable, which stands for the build tool command (e.g. `MAKE_FROZEN` and
`MPY_TOOL`), not part of the command line where it is used. If a Python
tool is substituted by another (non-python) program, no change to the
Makefiles is necessary, except in `py/mkenv.mk`.
* This also solves #3369 and #1616.
[1] There are systems, where even the assumption that `/usr/bin/env` always
exists, doesn't hold true, for example on Android (where otherwise the unix
port compiles perfectly well).
All the asm macro names that convert a particular architecture to a generic
interface now follow the convention whereby the "destination" (usually a
register) is specified first.
Macros to convert big-endian values to host byte order and vice-versa.
These were defined in adhoc way for some ports (e.g. esp8266), allow
reuse, provide default implementations, while allow ports to override.
The technique of using alloca is how dotted import names are composed in
mp_import_from and mp_builtin___import__, so use the same technique in the
compiler. This puts less pressure on the heap (only the stack is used if
the qstr already exists, and if it doesn't exist then the standard qstr
block memory is used for the new qstr rather than a separate chunk of the
heap) and reduces overall code size.
This reverts commit 3289b9b7a7.
The commit broke building on MINGW because the filename became
micropython.exe.exe. A proper solution to support more Windows build
environments requires more thought and testing.
Per the comment found here
https://github.com/micropython/micropython-esp32/issues/209#issuecomment-339855157,
this patch adds finaliser code to prevent memory leaks from ussl objects,
which is especially useful when memory for a ussl context is allocated
outside the uPy heap. This patch is in-line with the finaliser code found
in many modsocket implementations for various ports.
This feature is configured via MICROPY_PY_USSL_FINALISER and is disabled by
default because there may be issues using it when the ussl state *is*
allocated on the uPy heap, rather than externally.
This allows to configure support for inplace special methods separately,
similar to "normal" and reverse special methods. This is useful, because
inplace methods are "the most optional" ones, for example, if inplace
methods aren't defined, the operation will be executed using normal
methods instead.
As a caveat, __iadd__ and __isub__ are implemented even if
MICROPY_PY_ALL_INPLACE_SPECIAL_METHODS isn't defined. This is similar
to the state of affairs before binary operations refactor, and allows
to run existing tests even if MICROPY_PY_ALL_INPLACE_SPECIAL_METHODS
isn't defined.
If MICROPY_PY_ALL_SPECIAL_METHODS is defined, actually define all special
methods (still subject to gating by e.g. MICROPY_PY_REVERSE_SPECIAL_METHODS).
This adds quite a number of qstr's, so should be used sparingly.
Update makeqstrdata.py to sort strings starting with "__" to the beginning
of qstr list, so they get low qstr id's, guaranteedly fitting in 8 bits.
Then use this property to further compact op_id => qstr mapping arrays.
Per https://docs.python.org/3/library/sys.html#sys.getsizeof:
getsizeof() calls the object’s __sizeof__ method. Previously, "getsizeof"
was used mostly to save on new qstr, as we don't really support calling
this method on arbitrary objects (so it was used only for reporting).
However, normalize it all now.
Not all compilers/analysers are smart enough to realise that this function
is never called if MICROPY_ERROR_REPORTING is not TERSE, because the logic
in the code uses if statements rather than #if to select whether to call
this function or not (MSC in debug mode is an example of this, but there
are others). So just unconditionally compile this helper function. The
code-base anyway relies on the linker to remove unused functions.
The uos.dupterm() signature and behaviour is updated to reflect the latest
enhancements in the docs. It has minor backwards incompatibility in that
it no longer accepts zero arguments.
The dupterm_rx helper function is moved from esp8266 to extmod and
generalised to support multiple dupterm slots.
A port can specify multiple slots by defining the MICROPY_PY_OS_DUPTERM
config macro to an integer, being the number of slots it wants to have;
0 means to disable the dupterm feature altogether.
The unix and esp8266 ports are updated to work with the new interface and
are otherwise unchanged with respect to functionality.
So that a pointer to it can be passed as a pointer to math_generic_1. This
patch also makes the function work for single and double precision floating
point.
This patch changes how most of the plain math functions are implemented:
there are now two generic math wrapper functions that take a pointer to a
math function (like sin, cos) and perform the necessary conversion to and
from MicroPython types. This helps to reduce code size. The generic
functions can also check for math domain errors in a generic way, by
testing if the result is NaN or infinity combined with finite inputs.
The result is that, with this patch, all math functions now have full
domain error checking (even gamma and lgamma) and code size has decreased
for most ports. Code size changes in bytes for those with the math module
are:
unix x64: -432
unix nanbox: -792
stm32: -88
esp8266: +12
Tests are also added to check domain errors are handled correctly.
Printing "(null)" when a NULL string pointer is passed to %s is a debugging
feature and not a feature that's relied upon by the code. So it only needs
to be compiled in when debugging (such as assert) is enabled, and saves
roughy 30 bytes of code when disabled.
This patch also fixes this NULL check to not do the check if the precision
is specified as zero.
Header files that are considered internal to the py core and should not
normally be included directly are:
py/nlr.h - internal nlr configuration and declarations
py/bc0.h - contains bytecode macro definitions
py/runtime0.h - contains basic runtime enums
Instead, the top-level header files to include are one of:
py/obj.h - includes runtime0.h and defines everything to use the
mp_obj_t type
py/runtime.h - includes mpstate.h and hence nlr.h, obj.h, runtime0.h,
and defines everything to use the general runtime support functions
Additional, specific headers (eg py/objlist.h) can be included if needed.
Qstr values fit in 16-bits (and this fact is used elsewhere in the code) so
no need to use more than that for the large lookup tables. The compiler
will anyway give a warning if the qstr values don't fit in 16 bits. Saves
around 80 bytes of code space for Thumb2 archs.
Building mpy-cross: this patch adds .exe to the PROG name when building
executables for host (eg mpy-cross) on Windows. make clean now removes
mpy-cross.exe under Windows.
Building MicroPython: this patch sets MPY_CROSS to mpy-cross.exe or
mpy-cross so they can coexist and use cygwin or WSL without rebuilding
mpy-cross. The dependency in the mpy rule now uses mpy-cross.exe for
Windows and mpy-cross for Linux.
CPython docs explicitly state that the RHS of a set/frozenset binary op
must be a set to prevent user errors. It also preserves commutativity of
the ops, eg: "abc" & set() is a TypeError, and so should be set() & "abc".
This change actually decreases unix (x64) code by 160 bytes; it increases
stm32 by 4 bytes and esp8266 by 28 bytes (but previous patch already
introduced a much large saving).
A lot of set's methods (the mutable ones) are not allowed to operate on a
frozenset, and giving frozenset a separate locals dict with only the
methods that it supports allows to simplify the logic that verifies if
args are a set or a frozenset. Even though the new frozenset locals dict
is relatively large (88 bytes on 32-bit archs) there is a much bigger
saving coming from the removal of a const string for an error message,
along with the removal of some checks for set or frozenset type.
Changes in code size due to this patch are (for ports that changed at all):
unix x64: -56
unix nanbox: -304
stm32: -64
esp8266: -124
cc3200: -40
Apart from the reduced code, frozenset now has better tab-completion
because it only lists the valid methods. And the error message for
accessing an invalid method is now more detailed (it includes the
method name that wasn't found).
This returns a complex number, following CPython behaviour. For ports that
don't have complex numbers enabled this will raise a ValueError which gives
a fail-safe for scripts that were written assuming complex numbers exist.
This adds a new configuration option to print runtime warnings and errors to
stderr. On Unix, CPython prints warnings and unhandled exceptions to stderr,
so the unix port here is configured to use this option.
The unix port already printed unhandled exceptions on the main thread to
stderr. This patch fixes unhandled exceptions on other threads and warnings
(issue #2838) not printing on stderr.
Additionally, a couple tests needed to be fixed to handle this new behavior.
This is done by also capturing stderr when running tests.
Current users of fixed vstr buffers (building file paths) assume that there
is no overflow and do not check for overflow after building the vstr. This
has the potential to lead to NULL pointer dereferences
(when vstr_null_terminated_str returns NULL because it can't allocate RAM
for the terminating byte) and stat'ing and loading invalid path names (due
to the path being truncated). The safest and simplest thing to do in these
cases is just raise an exception if a write goes beyond the end of a fixed
vstr buffer, which is what this patch does. It also simplifies the vstr
code.
The vstr argument to the calls to vstr_add_len are dynamically allocated
(ie fixed_buf=false) and so vstr_add_len will never return NULL. So
there's no need to check for it. Any out-of-memory errors are raised by
the call to m_renew in vstr_ensure_extra.
The aim of this patch is to rewrite the functions that create exception
instances (mp_obj_exception_make_new and mp_obj_new_exception_msg_varg) so
that they do not call any functions that may raise an exception. Otherwise
it's possible to create infinite recursion with an exception being raised
while trying to create an exception object.
The two main things that are done to accomplish this are:
1. Change mp_obj_new_exception_msg_varg to just format the string, then
call mp_obj_exception_make_new to actually create the exception object.
2. In mp_obj_exception_make_new and mp_obj_new_exception_msg_varg try to
allocate all memory first using functions that don't raise exceptions
If any of the memory allocations fail (return NULL) then degrade
gracefully by trying other options for memory allocation, eg using the
emergency exception buffer.
3. Use a custom printer backend to conservatively format strings: if it
can't allocate memory then it just truncates the string.
As part of this rewrite, raising an exception without a message, like
KeyError(123), will now use the emergency buffer to store the arg and
traceback data if there is no heap memory available.
Memory use with this patch is unchanged. Code size is increased by:
bare-arm: +136
minimal x86: +124
unix x64: +72
unix nanbox: +96
stm32: +88
esp8266: +92
cc3200: +80
This allows user classes to implement __abs__ special method, and saves
code size (104 bytes for x86_64), even though during refactor, an issue
was fixed and few optimizations were made:
* abs() of minimum (negative) small int value is calculated properly.
* objint_longlong and objint_mpz avoid allocating new object is the
argument is already non-negative.
If, for class X, X.__add__(Y) doesn't exist (or returns NotImplemented),
try Y.__radd__(X) instead.
This patch could be simpler, but requires undoing operand swap and
operation switch to get non-confusing error message in case __radd__
doesn't exist.
This is to allow to place reverse ops immediately after normal ops, so
they can be tested as one range (which is optimization for reverse ops
introduction in the next patch).
Originally, there were grouped in blocks of 5, to make it easier e.g.
to assess and numeric code of each. But now it makes more sense to
group it by semantics/properties, and then split in chunks still,
which usually leads to chunks of ~6 ops.
It starts a dichotomy of mp_binary_op_t values which can't appear in the
bytecode. Another reason to move it is to VALUES of OP_* and OP_INPLACE_*
nicely adjacent. This also will be needed for OP_REVERSE_*, to be soon
introduced.
This patch adds a function utf8_check() to check for a valid UTF-8 encoded
string, and calls it when constructing a str from raw bytes. The feature
is selectable at compile time via MICROPY_PY_BUILTINS_STR_UNICODE_CHECK and
is enabled if unicode is enabled. It costs about 110 bytes on Thumb-2, 150
bytes on Xtensa and 170 bytes on x86-64.
IEEE floating point is specified such that a comparison of NaN with itself
returns false, and Python respects these semantics. This patch makes uPy
also have these semantics. The fix has a minor impact on the speed of the
object-equality fast-path, but that seems to be unavoidable and it's much
more important to have correct behaviour (especially in this case where
the wrong answer for nan==nan is silently returned).
These are now returned as "operation not supported" instead of raising
TypeError. In particular, this fixes equality for float vs incompatible
types, which now properly results in False instead of exception. This
also paves the road to support reverse operation (e.g. __radd__) with
float objects.
This is achieved by introducing mp_obj_get_float_maybe(), similar to
existing mp_obj_get_int_maybe().
Prior to this patch, the size of the buffer given to pack_into() was checked
for being too small by using the count of the arguments, not their actual
size. For example, a format spec of '4I' would only check that there was 4
bytes available, not 16; and 'I' would check for 1 byte, not 4.
The pack() function is ok because its buffer is created to be exactly the
correct size.
The fix in this patch calculates the total size of the format spec at the
start of pack_into() and verifies that the buffer is large enough. This
adds some computational overhead, to iterate through the whole format spec.
The alternative is to check during the packing, but that requires extra
code to handle alignment, and the check is anyway not needed for pack().
So to maintain minimal code size the check is done using struct_calcsize.
Prior to this patch, the size of the buffer given to unpack/unpack_from was
checked for being too small by using the count of the arguments, not their
actual size. For example, a format spec of '4I' would only check that
there was 4 bytes available, not 16; and 'I' would check for 1 byte, not 4.
This bug is fixed in this patch by calculating the total size of the format
spec at the start of the unpacking function. This function anyway needs to
calculate the number of items at the start, so calculating the total size
can be done at the same time.
This patch makes a repeat counter behave the same as repeating the
typecode, when there are not enough args. For example:
struct.pack('2I', 1) now behave the same as struct.pack('II', 1).
