There was thinkos that either send_value or throw_value is specified, but
there were cases with both. Note that send_value is pushed onto generator's
stack - but that's probably only good, because if we throw exception into
gen, it should not ever use send_value, and that will be just extra "assert".
Adding this bytecode allows to remove 4 others related to
function/method calls with * and ** support. Will also help with
bytecodes that make functions/closures with default positional and
keyword args.
Mostly just a global search and replace. Except rt_is_true which
becomes mp_obj_is_true.
Still would like to tidy up some of the names, but this will do for now.
Required to reraise correct exceptions in except block, regardless if more
try blocks with active exceptions happen in the same except block.
P.S. This "automagic reraise" appears to be quite wasteful feature of Python
- we need to save pending exception just in case it *might* be reraised.
Instead, programmer could explcitly capture exception to a variable using
"except ... as var", and reraise that. So, consider disabling argless raise
support as an optimization.
The compiler allocates 7 entries on the stack for a with statement
(following CPython, but probably can be reduced). This is enough for
the method load and call in SETUP_WITH.
Partly (very partly!) addresses issue #386. Most importantly, at the
REPL command line, each invocation does not now lead to increased memory
usage (unless you define a function/lambda).
This reduntant triple is one of the ugliest parts of Python, which they
chickened out to fix in Python3. We really should consider passing just
as single exception instance (without breaking Python-level APIs of course),
but until we do, let's follow CPython layout.
Rationale: setting up the stack (state for locals and exceptions) is
really part of the "code", it's the prelude of the function. For
example, native code adjusts the stack pointer on entry to the function.
Native code doesn't need to know n_state for any other reason. So
putting the state size in the bytecode prelude is sensible.
It reduced ROM usage on STM by about 30 bytes :) And makes it easier to
pass information about the bytecode between functions.
For this, needed to implement DELETE_NAME bytecode (because var bound
in except clause is automatically deleted at its end).
http://docs.python.org/3/reference/compound_stmts.html#except :
"When an exception has been assigned using as target, it is cleared at
the end of the except clause."
