This patch concerns the handling of an NLR-raised StopIteration, raised
during a call to mp_resume() which is handling the yield from opcode.
Previously, commit 6738c1dded introduced code
to handle this case, along with a test. It seems that it was lucky that
the test worked because the code did not correctly handle the stack pointer
(sp).
Furthermore, commit 79d996a57b improved the
way mp_resume() propagated certain exceptions: it changed raising an NLR
value to returning MP_VM_RETURN_EXCEPTION. This change meant that the
test introduced in gen_yield_from_ducktype.py was no longer hitting the
code introduced in 6738c1dded.
The patch here does two things:
1. Fixes the handling of sp in the VM for the case that yield from is
interrupted by a StopIteration raised via NLR.
2. Introduces a new test to check this handling of sp and re-covers the
code in the VM.
Otherwise passing -1 as maxlen will lead to a zero allocation and
subsequent unbound buffer overflow in deque.append() because i_put is
allowed to grow without bound.
Prior to this patch uPy (on a 32-bit arch) would have severe issues when
calling bytes(-1): such a call would call vstr_init_len(vstr, -1) which
would then +1 on the len and call vstr_init(vstr, 0), which would then
round this up and allocate a small amount of memory for the vstr. The
bytes constructor would then attempt to zero out all this memory, thinking
it had allocated 2^32-1 bytes.
This patch improves the builtin dir() function by probing the target object
with all possible qstrs via mp_load_method_maybe. This is very simple (in
terms of implementation), doesn't require recursion, and allows to list all
methods of user-defined classes (without duplicates) even if they have
multiple inheritance with a common parent. The downside is that it can be
slow because it has to iterate through all the qstrs in the system, but
the "dir()" function is anyway mostly used for testing frameworks and user
introspection of types, so speed is not considered a priority.
In addition to providing a more complete implementation of dir(), this
patch is simpler than the previous implementation and saves some code
space:
bare-arm: -80
minimal x86: -80
unix x64: -56
unix nanbox: -48
stm32: -80
cc3200: -80
esp8266: -104
esp32: -64
This feature is not often used so is guarded by the config option
MICROPY_PY_BUILTINS_RANGE_BINOP which is disabled by default. With this
option disabled MicroPython will always return false when comparing two
range objects for equality (unless they are exactly the same object
instance). This does not match CPython so if (in)equality between range
objects is needed then this option should be enabled.
Enabling this option costs between 100 and 200 bytes of code space
depending on the machine architecture.
Note that the check for elem!=NULL is removed for the
MP_MAP_LOOKUP_ADD_IF_NOT_FOUND case because mp_map_lookup will always
return non-NULL for such a case.
This implements .pend_throw(exc) method, which sets up an exception to be
triggered on the next call to generator's .__next__() or .send() method.
This is unlike .throw(), which immediately starts to execute the generator
to process the exception. This effectively adds Future-like capabilities
to generator protocol (exception will be raised in the future).
The need for such a method arised to implement uasyncio wait_for() function
efficiently (its behavior is clearly "Future" like, and normally would
require to introduce an expensive Future wrapper around all native
couroutines, like upstream asyncio does).
py/objgenerator: pend_throw: Return previous pended value.
This effectively allows to store an additional value (not necessary an
exception) in a coroutine while it's not being executed. uasyncio has
exactly this usecase: to mark a coro waiting in I/O queue (and thus
not executed in the normal scheduling queue), for the purpose of
implementing wait_for() function (cancellation of such waiting coro
by a timeout).
"Builtin" tinytest-based testsuite as employed by qemu-arm (and now
generalized by me to be reusable for other targets) performs simplified
detection of skipped tests, it treats as such tests which raised SystemExit
(instead of checking got "SKIP" output). Consequently, each "SKIP" must
be accompanied by SystemExit (and conversely, SystemExit should not be
used if test is not skipped, which so far seems to be true).
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).
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).
Similar to the existing testcase, but test that returning both value of
native type and instance of another user class from __new__ lead to
__init__ not being called, for better coverage.
NotImplemented means "try other fallbacks (like calling __rop__
instead of __op__) and if nothing works, raise TypeError". As
MicroPython doesn't implement any fallbacks, signal to raise
TypeError right away.
Otherwise, it will silently get incorrect result on other values types,
including CPython tuple form like "foo.png".endswith(("png", "jpg"))
(which MicroPython doesn't support for unbloatedness).
The value of 0 can't be used because otherwise mp_binary_get_size will let
a null byte through as the type code (intepreted as byterray). This can
lead to invalid type-specifier strings being let through without an error
in the struct module, and even buffer overruns.
