The idea here is that there's a moderate amount of ROM used up by exception
text. Obviously we try to keep the messages short, and the code can enable
terse errors, but it still adds up. Listed below is the total string data
size for various ports:
bare-arm 2860
minimal 2876
stm32 8926 (PYBV11)
cc3200 3751
esp32 5721
This commit implements compression of these strings. It takes advantage of
the fact that these strings are all 7-bit ascii and extracts the top 128
frequently used words from the messages and stores them packed (dropping
their null-terminator), then uses (0x80 | index) inside strings to refer to
these common words. Spaces are automatically added around words, saving
more bytes. This happens transparently in the build process, mirroring the
steps that are used to generate the QSTR data. The MP_COMPRESSED_ROM_TEXT
macro wraps any literal string that should compressed, and it's
automatically decompressed in mp_decompress_rom_string.
There are many schemes that could be used for the compression, and some are
included in py/makecompresseddata.py for reference (space, Huffman, ngram,
common word). Results showed that the common-word compression gets better
results. This is before counting the increased cost of the Huffman
decoder. This might be slightly counter-intuitive, but this data is
extremely repetitive at a word-level, and the byte-level entropy coder
can't quite exploit that as efficiently. Ideally one would combine both
approaches, but for now the common-word approach is the one that is used.
For additional comparison, the size of the raw data compressed with gzip
and zlib is calculated, as a sort of proxy for a lower entropy bound. With
this scheme we come within 15% on stm32, and 30% on bare-arm (i.e. we use
x% more bytes than the data compressed with gzip -- not counting the code
overhead of a decoder, and how this would be hypothetically implemented).
The feature is disabled by default and can be enabled by setting
MICROPY_ROM_TEXT_COMPRESSION at the Makefile-level.
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.
These were found by buiding the unix coverage variant on macOS (so clang
compiler). Mostly, these are fixing implicit cast of float/double to
mp_float_t which is one of those two and one mp_int_t to size_t fix for
good measure.
Implements Task and TaskQueue classes in C, using a pairing-heap data
structure. Using this reduces RAM use of each Task, and improves overall
performance of the uasyncio scheduler.
To enable lazy loading of submodules (among other things), which is very
useful for MicroPython libraries that want to have optional subcomponents.
Disabled explicitly on minimal ports.
This commit adds micropython.heap_locked() which returns the current
lock-depth of the heap, and can be used by Python code to check if the heap
is locked or not. This new function is configured via
MICROPY_PY_MICROPYTHON_HEAP_LOCKED and is disabled by default.
This commit also changes the return value of micropython.heap_unlock() so
it returns the current lock-depth as well.
This eliminates the need for the sizeof regex fixup by rearranging things a
bit. All other bitfields already use the parentheses around expressions
with sizeof, so one case is fixed by following this convention.
VM_MAX_STATE_ON_STACK is the only remaining problem and it can be worked
around by changing the order of the operands.
The double-% was added in 11de8399fe (Jun
2014) when such errors were formatted with printf. But then
55830dd9bf (Dec 2018) changed
mp_obj_new_exception_msg() to not format the message, as discussed
in #3004. So such error strings are no longer formatted and a % is just
that.
This string is recognised by uncrustify, to disable formatting in the
region marked by these comments. This is necessary in the qstrdef*.h files
to prevent modification of the strings within the Q(...). In other places
it is used to prevent excessive reformatting that would make the code less
readable.
And rename it to mp_obj_cast_to_native_base() to indicate this. This
allows users of this function to easily support native and native-subclass
objects in the same way (by just passing the object through this function).
Since commit 3aab54bf43 this piece of code is
no longer needed because the top-level function mp_obj_equal_not_equal()
now handles the case of user types, and will never call tuple's binary_op
function with MP_BINARY_OP_EQUAL and a non-tuple on the RHS.
Follow up to recent commit ad7213d3c3, the
name "varg2" is misleading, vlist describes better that the argument is a
va_list. This name also matches CircuitPython, which already has such
helper functions.
This provides a more consistent C-level API to raise exceptions, ie moving
away from nlr_raise towards mp_raise_XXX. It also reduces code size by a
small amount on some ports.
Both bool and namedtuple will check against other types for equality; int,
float and complex for bool, and tuple for namedtuple. So to make them work
after the recent commit 3aab54bf43 they would
need MP_TYPE_FLAG_NEEDS_FULL_EQ_TEST set. But that makes all bool and
namedtuple equality checks less efficient because mp_obj_equal_not_equal()
could no longer short-cut x==x, and would need to try __ne__. To improve
this, this commit splits the MP_TYPE_FLAG_NEEDS_FULL_EQ_TEST flags into 3
separate flags to give types more fine-grained control over how their
equality behaves. These new flags are then used to fix bool and namedtuple
equality.
Fixes issue #5615 and #5620.
This is a more logical place to clear the KeyboardInterrupt traceback,
right before it is set as a pending exception. The clearing is also
optimised from a function call to a simple store of NULL.
Functions like mp_keyboard_interrupt() may need to be called from an IRQ
handler and may need to be in a special memory section, so provide a
generic wrapping macro for a port to do this. The macro name is chosen to
be MICROPY_WRAP_<function name in uppercase> so that (in the future with
more wrappers) each function could potentially be handled separately.
This function is tightly coupled to the state and behaviour of the
scheduler, and is a core part of the runtime: to schedule a pending
exception. So move it there.
Previous behaviour is when this argument is set to "true", in which case
the function will raise any pending exception. Setting it to "false" will
cancel any pending exception.
A 'return' statement on module/class level is not correct Python, but
nothing terribly bad happens when it's allowed. So remove the check unless
MICROPY_CPYTHON_COMPAT is on.
This is similar to MicroPython's treatment of 'import *' in functions
(except 'return' has unsurprising behavior if it's allowed).
This commit implements a more complete replication of CPython's behaviour
for equality and inequality testing of objects. This addresses the issues
discussed in #5382 and a few other inconsistencies. Improvements over the
old code include:
- Support for returning non-boolean results from comparisons (as used by
numpy and others).
- Support for non-reflexive equality tests.
- Preferential use of __ne__ methods and MP_BINARY_OP_NOT_EQUAL binary
operators for inequality tests, when available.
- Fallback to op2 == op1 or op2 != op1 when op1 does not implement the
(in)equality operators.
The scheme here makes use of a new flag, MP_TYPE_FLAG_NEEDS_FULL_EQ_TEST,
in the flags word of mp_obj_type_t to indicate if various shortcuts can or
cannot be used when performing equality and inequality tests. Currently
four built-in classes have the flag set: float and complex are
non-reflexive (since nan != nan) while bytearray and frozenszet instances
can equal other builtin class instances (bytes and set respectively). The
flag is also set for any new class defined by the user.
This commit also includes a more comprehensive set of tests for the
behaviour of (in)equality operators implemented in special methods.
This modifies the signature of mp_thread_set_state() to use
mp_state_thread_t* instead of void*. This matches the return type of
mp_thread_get_state(), which returns the same value.
`struct _mp_state_thread_t;` had to be moved before
`#include <mpthreadport.h>` since the stm32 port uses it in its
mpthreadport.h file.
The loop searches backwards for a target, but doesn't stop after finding
the first result, meaning that it'll always end up at the outermost
exception handler.
This previously made the native emitter incompatible with the bytecode
emitter, and mp_resume (and subsequently mp_obj_generator_resume) expects
the bytecode emitter behavior (i.e. throw==NULL).
Commit d96cfd13e3 introduced a regression in
testing for bool objects, that such objects were in some cases no longer
recognised and bools, eg when using mp_obj_is_type(o, &mp_type_bool), or
mp_obj_is_integer(o).
This commit fixes that problem by adding mp_obj_is_bool(o). Builds with
MICROPY_OBJ_IMMEDIATE_OBJS enabled check if the object is any of the const
True or False objects. Builds without it use the old method of ->type
checking, which compiles to smaller code (compared with the former
mentioned method).
Fixes#5538.
When threads and the GIL are enabled, then the qstr mutex is not needed.
The qstr_mutex field is never used in this case because of:
#if MICROPY_PY_THREAD && !MICROPY_PY_THREAD_GIL
#define QSTR_ENTER() mp_thread_mutex_lock(&MP_STATE_VM(qstr_mutex), 1)
#define QSTR_EXIT() mp_thread_mutex_unlock(&MP_STATE_VM(qstr_mutex))
#else
#define QSTR_ENTER()
#define QSTR_EXIT()
#endif
So, we can completely remove qstr_mutex everywhere when MICROPY_PY_THREAD
&& !MICROPY_PY_THREAD_GIL.
When threads and the GIL are enabled, then the GC mutex is not needed. The
gc_mutex field is never used in this case because of:
#if MICROPY_PY_THREAD && !MICROPY_PY_THREAD_GIL
#define GC_ENTER() mp_thread_mutex_lock(&MP_STATE_MEM(gc_mutex), 1)
#define GC_EXIT() mp_thread_mutex_unlock(&MP_STATE_MEM(gc_mutex))
#else
#define GC_ENTER()
#define GC_EXIT()
#endif
So, we can completely remove gc_mutex everywhere when MICROPY_PY_THREAD
&& !MICROPY_PY_THREAD_GIL.
Can be used where mp_obj_int_get_checked() will overflow due to the
sign-bit solely. This returns an mp_uint_t, so it also verifies the given
integer is not negative.
Currently implemented only for mpz configurations.
This function is called often and with immediate objects enabled it has
more cases, so optimise it for speed. With this optimisation the runtime
is now slightly faster with immediate objects enabled than with them
disabled.
This option (enabled by default for object representation A, B, C) makes
None/False/True objects immediate objects, ie they are no longer a concrete
object in ROM but are rather just values, eg None=0x6 for representation A.
Doing this saves a considerable amount of code size, due to these objects
being widely used:
bare-arm: -392 -0.591%
minimal x86: -252 -0.170% [incl +52(data)]
unix x64: -624 -0.125% [incl -128(data)]
unix nanbox: +0 +0.000%
stm32: -1940 -0.510% PYBV10
cc3200: -1216 -0.659%
esp8266: -404 -0.062% GENERIC
esp32: -732 -0.064% GENERIC[incl +48(data)]
nrf: -988 -0.675% pca10040
samd: -564 -0.556% ADAFRUIT_ITSYBITSY_M4_EXPRESS
Thanks go to @Jongy aka Yonatan Goldschmidt for the idea.
This commit adjusts the definition of qstr encoding in all object
representations by taking a single bit from the qstr space and using it to
distinguish between qstrs and a new kind of literal object: immediate
objects. In other words, the qstr space is divided in two pieces, one half
for qstrs and the other half for immediate objects.
There is still enough room for qstr values (29 bits in representation A on
a 32-bit architecture, and 19 bits in representation C) and the new
immediate objects can be used for things like None, False and True.
This moves the MICROPY_PORT_INIT_FUNC hook to the end of mp_init(), just
before MP_THREAD_GIL_ENTER(), so that everything (in particular the GIL
mutex) is intialized before the hook is called. MICROPY_PORT_DEINIT_FUNC
is also moved to be symmetric (but there is no functional change there).
If a port needs to perform initialisation earlier than
MICROPY_PORT_INIT_FUNC then it can do it before calling mp_init().
This commit adds backward-word, backward-kill-word, forward-word,
forward-kill-word sequences for the REPL, with bindings to Alt+F, Alt+B,
Alt+D and Alt+Backspace respectively. It is disabled by default and can be
enabled via MICROPY_REPL_EMACS_WORDS_MOVE.
Further enabling MICROPY_REPL_EMACS_EXTRA_WORDS_MOVE adds extra bindings
for these new sequences: Ctrl+Right, Ctrl+Left and Ctrl+W.
The features are enabled on unix micropython-coverage and micropython-dev.
Most types are in rodata/ROM, and mp_obj_base_t.type is a constant pointer,
so enforce this const-ness throughout the code base. If a type ever needs
to be modified (eg a user type) then a simple cast can be used.
Instances of the slice class are passed to __getitem__() on objects when
the user indexes them with a slice. In practice the majority of the time
(other than passing it on untouched) is to work out what the slice means in
the context of an array dimension of a particular length. Since Python 2.3
there has been a method on the slice class, indices(), that takes a
dimension length and returns the real start, stop and step, accounting for
missing or negative values in the slice spec. This commit implements such
a indices() method on the slice class.
It is configurable at compile-time via MICROPY_PY_BUILTINS_SLICE_INDICES,
disabled by default, enabled on unix, stm32 and esp32 ports.
This commit also adds new tests for slice indices and for slicing unicode
strings.
In CPython, EnvironmentError and IOError are now aliases of OSError so no
need to have them listed in the code. OverflowError inherits from
ArithmeticError because it's intended to be raised "when the result of an
arithmetic operation is too large to be represented" (per CPython docs),
and MicroPython aims to match the CPython exception hierarchy.
For the 3 ports that already make use of this feature (stm32, nrf and
teensy) this doesn't make any difference, it just allows to disable it from
now on.
For other ports that use pyexec, this decreases code size because the debug
printing code is dead (it can't be enabled) but the compiler can't deduce
that, so code is still emitted.
The qst value is always small enough to fit in 31-bits (even less) and
using a 32-bit shift rather than a 64-bit shift reduces code size by about
300 bytes.
A user-defined type that defines __iter__ doesn't need any memory to be
pre-allocated for its iterator (because it can't use such memory). So
optimise for this case by not allocating the iter-buf.
In commit 71a3d6ec3b mp_setup_code_state was
changed from a 5-arg function to a 4-arg function, and at that point 5-arg
calls in native code were no longer needed. See also commit
4f9842ad80.
Allows assigning attributes on class instances that implement their own
__setattr__. Both object.__setattr__ and super(A, b).__setattr__ will work
with this commit.
This makes the loading of viper-code-with-relocations a bit neater and
easier to understand, by treating the rodata/bss like a special object to
be loaded into the constant table (which is how it behaves).
We don't want to add a feature flag to .mpy files that indicate float
support because it will get complex and difficult to use. Instead the .mpy
is built using whatever precision it chooses (float or double) and the
native glue API will convert between this choice and what the host runtime
actually uses.
This commit adds a new tool called mpy_ld.py which is essentially a linker
that builds .mpy files directly from .o files. A new header file
(dynruntime.h) and makefile fragment (dynruntime.mk) are also included
which allow building .mpy files from C source code. Such .mpy files can
then be dynamically imported as though they were a normal Python module,
even though they are implemented in C.
Converting .o files directly (rather than pre-linked .elf files) allows the
resulting .mpy to be more efficient because it has more control over the
relocations; for example it can skip PLT indirection. Doing it this way
also allows supporting more architectures, such as Xtensa which has
specific needs for position-independent code and the GOT.
The tool supports targets of x86, x86-64, ARM Thumb and Xtensa (windowed
and non-windowed). BSS, text and rodata sections are supported, with
relocations to all internal sections and symbols, as well as relocations to
some external symbols (defined by dynruntime.h), and linking of qstrs.
Implements text, rodata and bss generalised relocations, as well as generic
qstr-object linking. This allows importing dynamic native modules on all
supported architectures in a unified way.
With the memcpy() call placed last it avoids the effects of registers
clobbering. It's definitely effective in non-inlined functions, but even
here it is still making a small difference. For example, on stm32, this
saves an extra `ldr` instruction to load `o->vstr` after the memcpy()
returns.
The string length being longer than the allowed qstr length can happen in
many locations, for example in the parser with very long variable names.
Without an explicit check that the length is within range (as done in this
patch) the code would exhibit crashes and strange behaviour with truncated
strings.
