Instead of compiler-level if-logic. This is necessary to know what error
strings are included in the build at the preprocessor stage, so that string
compression can be implemented.
This only fixes the `import` portion. It doesn't actually change
reference behavior because modules within a package could already
be referenced through the parent package even though an error should
have been thrown.
This commit implements automatic module weak links for all built-in
modules, by searching for "ufoo" in the built-in module list if "foo"
cannot be found. This means that all modules named "ufoo" are always
available as "foo". Also, a port can no longer add any other weak links,
which makes strict the definition of a weak link.
It saves some code size (about 100-200 bytes) on ports that previously had
lots of weak links.
Some changes from the previous behaviour:
- It doesn't intern the non-u module names (eg "foo" is not interned),
which saves code size, but will mean that "import foo" creates a new qstr
(namely "foo") in RAM (unless the importing module is frozen).
- help('modules') no longer lists non-u module names, only the u-variants;
this reduces duplication in the help listing.
Weak links are effectively the same as having a set of symbolic links on
the filesystem that is searched last. So an "import foo" will search
built-in modules first, then all paths in sys.path, then weak links last,
importing "ufoo" if it exists. Thus a file called "foo.py" somewhere in
sys.path will still have precedence over the weak link of "foo" to "ufoo".
See issues: #1740, #4449, #5229, #5241.
If MICROPY_PERSISTENT_CODE_LOAD or MICROPY_ENABLE_COMPILER are enabled then
code gets enabled that calls file reading functions which may be disabled
if no readers have been implemented.
To fix this, introduce a MICROPY_HAS_FILE_READER variable, which is
automatically set if MICROPY_READER_POSIX or MICROPY_READER_VFS is set but
can also be manually set if a custom reader is being implemented. Then
disable the file reading calls if this is not set.
Add traceback chain to sys.exec_info()[2].
No actual frame info is added, but just enough to recreate the printed
exception traceback.
Used by the unittest module which collects errors and failures and prints
them at the end.
Imports generate a lot of garbage so cleaning it up immediately
reduces the likelihood longer lived data structures don't end up in
the middle of the heap.
Fixes#856
The new option is MICROPY_ENABLE_EXTERNAL_IMPORT and is enabled by default
so that the default behaviour is the same as before. With it disabled
import is only supported for built-in modules, not for external files nor
frozen modules. This allows to support targets that have no filesystem of
any kind and that only have access to pre-supplied built-in modules
implemented natively.
This adapts the allocation process to start from either end of the heap
when searching for free space. The default behavior is identical to the
existing behavior where it starts with the lowest block and looks higher.
Now it can also look from the highest block and lower depending on the
long_lived parameter to gc_alloc. As the heap fills, the two sections may
overlap. When they overlap, a collect may be triggered in order to keep
the long lived section compact. However, free space is always eligable
for each type of allocation.
By starting from either of the end of the heap we have ability to separate
short lived objects from long lived ones. This separation reduces heap
fragmentation because long lived objects are easy to densely pack.
Most objects are short lived initially but may be made long lived when
they are referenced by a type or module. This involves copying the
memory and then letting the collect phase free the old portion.
QSTR pools and chunks are always long lived because they are never freed.
The reallocation, collection and free processes are largely unchanged. They
simply also maintain an index to the highest free block as well as the lowest.
These indices are used to speed up the allocation search until the next collect.
In practice, this change may slightly slow down import statements with the
benefit that memory is much less fragmented afterwards. For example, a test
import into a 20k heap that leaves ~6k free previously had the largest
continuous free space of ~400 bytes. After this change, the largest continuous
free space is over 3400 bytes.
This is a bit of a clumsy way of doing it but solves the issue of __init__
not running when a module is imported via its weak-link name. Ideally a
better solution would be found.
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).
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.
* py: Only load frozen modules when the filename has the prefix.
This allows one to override a built-in module by loading a newer
version onto the file system.
* Unbreak mpys
The frozen module `_boot.py` was not being loaded on restart
because `pyexec_frozen_module()` did not know about the new `.frozen`
pseudo-directory. Updated lower-level routine to look in the right place.
Also made ".frozen" and related values be `#define`s.
This introduces a skip_if module that can be used by tests to
determine when they should be skipped due to the environment.
Some tests have been split in order to have finer grained skip
control.
This makes it clear when frozen modules are loaded as opposed to the empty path
which represents the current working directory. Furthermore, by splitting the two
apart this allows one to control in what order frozen modules are loaded.
This is a prerequisite for #56.
The while-loop that calls chop_component will guarantee that level==-1 at
the end of the loop. Hence the code following it is unnecessary.
The check for p==this_name will catch imports that are beyond the
top-level, and also covers the case of new_mod_q==MP_QSTR_ (equivalent to
new_mod_l==0) so that check is removed.
There is also a new check at the start for level>=0 to guard against
__import__ being called with bad level values.

This patch changes mp_uint_t to size_t for the len argument of the
following public facing C functions:
mp_obj_tuple_get
mp_obj_list_get
mp_obj_get_array
These functions take a pointer to the len argument (to be filled in by the
function) and callers of these functions should update their code so the
type of len is changed to size_t. For ports that don't use nan-boxing
there should be no change in generate code because the size of the type
remains the same (word sized), and in a lot of cases there won't even be a
compiler warning if the type remains as mp_uint_t.
The reason for this change is to standardise on the use of size_t for
variables that count memory (or memory related) sizes/lengths. It helps
builds that use nan-boxing.
This patch refactors the error handling in the lexer, to simplify it (ie
reduce code size).
A long time ago, when the lexer/parser/compiler were first written, the
lexer and parser were designed so they didn't use exceptions (ie nlr) to
report errors but rather returned an error code. Over time that has
gradually changed, the parser in particular has more and more ways of
raising exceptions. Also, the lexer never really handled all errors without
raising, eg there were some memory errors which could raise an exception
(and in these rare cases one would get a fatal nlr-not-handled fault).
This patch accepts the fact that the lexer can raise exceptions in some
cases and allows it to raise exceptions to handle all its errors, which are
for the most part just out-of-memory errors during construction of the
lexer. This makes the lexer a bit simpler, and also the persistent code
stuff is simplified.
What this means for users of the lexer is that calls to it must be wrapped
in a nlr handler. But all uses of the lexer already have such an nlr
handler for the parser (and compiler) so that doesn't put any extra burden
on the callers.
The commit d9047d3c8a introduced a bug
whereby "from a.b import c" stopped working for frozen packages. This is
because the path was not properly truncated and became "a//b". Such a
path resolves correctly for a "real" filesystem, but not for a search in
the list of frozen modules.
Now frozen modules is treated just as a kind of VFS, and all operations
performed on it correspond to operations on normal filesystem. This allows
to support packages properly, and potentially also data files.
This change also have changes to rework frozen bytecode modules support to
use the same framework, but it's not finished (and actually may not work,
as older adhox handling of any type of frozen modules is removed).
The config variable MICROPY_MODULE_FROZEN is now made of two separate
parts: MICROPY_MODULE_FROZEN_STR and MICROPY_MODULE_FROZEN_MPY. This
allows to have none, either or both of frozen strings and frozen mpy
files (aka frozen bytecode).
MICROPY_ENABLE_COMPILER can be used to enable/disable the entire compiler,
which is useful when only loading of pre-compiled bytecode is supported.
It is enabled by default.
MICROPY_PY_BUILTINS_EVAL_EXEC controls support of eval and exec builtin
functions. By default they are only included if MICROPY_ENABLE_COMPILER
is enabled.
Disabling both options saves about 40k of code size on 32-bit x86.
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.
When "micropython -m pkg.mod" command was used, relative imports in pkg.mod
didn't work, because pkg.mod.__name__ was set to __main__, and the fact that
it's a package submodule was missed. This is an original workaround to this
issue. TODO: investigate and compare how CPython deals with this issue.
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.
This cleans up vstr so that it's a pure "variable buffer", and the user
can decide whether they need to add a terminating null byte. In most
places where vstr is used, the vstr did not need to be null terminated
and so this patch saves code size, a tiny bit of RAM, and makes vstr
usage more efficient. When null termination is needed it must be
done explicitly using vstr_null_terminate.
This patch adds a configuration option (MICROPY_CAN_OVERRIDE_BUILTINS)
which, when enabled, allows to override all names within the builtins
module. A builtins override dict is created the first time the user
assigns to a name in the builtins model, and then that dict is searched
first on subsequent lookups. Note that this implementation doesn't
allow deleting of names.
This patch also does some refactoring of builtins code, creating the
modbuiltins.c file.
Addresses issue #959.
mp_lexer_t type is exposed, mp_token_t type is removed, and simple lexer
functions (like checking current token kind) are now inlined.
This saves 784 bytes ROM on 32-bit unix, 348 bytes on stmhal, and 460
bytes on bare-arm. It also saves a tiny bit of RAM since mp_lexer_t
is a bit smaller. Also will run a bit more efficiently.
Going from MICROPY_ERROR_REPORTING_NORMAL to
MICROPY_ERROR_REPORTING_TERSE now saves 2020 bytes ROM for ARM Thumb2,
and 2200 bytes ROM for 32-bit x86.
This is about a 2.5% code size reduction for bare-arm.
When compiler optimization has been turned on, gcc knows that this code
block is not going to be executed. But with -O0 it complains about
path_items being used uninitialized.

Support for packages as argument not implemented, but otherwise error and
exit handling should be correct. This for example will allow to do:
pip-micropython install micropython-test.pystone
micropython -m test.pystone
With this patch a port can enable module weak link support and provide
a dict of qstr->module mapping. This mapping is looked up only if an
import fails to find the requested module in the filesystem.
This allows to have the builtin module named, eg, usocket, and provide
a weak link of "socket" to the same module, but this weak link can be
overridden if a file by the name "socket.py" is found in the import
path.
This has benefits all round: code factoring for parse/compile/execute,
proper context save/restore for exec, allow to sepcify globals/locals
for eval, and reduced ROM usage by >100 bytes on stmhal and unix.
Also, the call to mp_parse_compile_execute is tail call optimised for
the import code, so it doesn't increase stack memory usage.
mp_parse_node_free now frees the memory associated with non-interned
strings. And the parser calls mp_parse_node_free when discarding a
non-used node (such as a doc string).
Also, the compiler now frees the parse tree explicitly just before it
exits (as opposed to relying on the caller to do this).
Addresses issue #708 as best we can.
Stack is full descending and must be 8-byte aligned. It must start off
pointing to just above the last byte of RAM.
Previously, stack started pointed to last byte of RAM (eg 0x2001ffff)
and so was not 8-byte aligned. This caused a bug in combination with
alloca.
This patch also updates some debug printing code.
Addresses issue #872 (among many other undiscovered issues).
