micropython puts the pointer-ness into the typedef; we can put the
const-ness there too.
this reduces the delta to micropython; for instance, emitinlinextensa
and emitinlinethumb now match upstream.
Prior to this fix, async for assumed the iterator expression was a simple
identifier, and used that identifier as a local to store the intermediate
iterator object. This is incorrect behaviour.
This commit fixes the issue by keeping the iterator object on the stack as
an anonymous local variable.

When a tuple is the condition of an if statement, it's only possible to
optimise that tuple away when it is a constant tuple (ie all its elements
are constants), because if it's not constant then the elements must be
evaluated in case they have side effects (even though the resulting tuple
will always be "true").
The code before this change handled the empty tuple OK (because it doesn't
need to be evaluated), but it discarded non-empty tuples without evaluating
them, which is incorrect behaviour (as show by the updated test).
This optimisation is anyway rarely applied because it's not common Python
coding practice to write things like `if (): ...` and `if (1, 2): ...`, so
removing this optimisation completely won't affect much code, if any.
Furthermore, when MICROPY_COMP_CONST_TUPLE is enabled, constant tuples are
already optimised by the parser, so expression with constant tuples like
`if (): ...` and `if (1, 2): ...` will continue to be optimised properly
(and so when this option is enabled the code that's deleted in this commit
is actually unreachable when the if condition is a constant tuple).

When := is used in a comprehension the target variable is bound to the
parent scope, so it's either a global or a nonlocal. Prior to this commit
that was handled by simply using the parent scope's id_info for the
target variable. That's completely wrong because it uses the slot number
for the parent's Python stack to store the variable, rather than the slot
number for the comprehension. This will in most cases lead to incorrect
behaviour or memory faults.
This commit fixes the scoping of the target variable by explicitly
declaring it a global or nonlocal, depending on whether the parent is the
global scope or not. Then the id_info of the comprehension can be used to
access the target variable. This fixes a lot of cases of using := in a
comprehension.

This change makes it so the compiler and persistent code loader take a
mp_compiled_module_t* as their last argument, instead of returning this
struct. This eliminates a duplicate context variable for all callers of
these functions (because the context is now stored in the
mp_compiled_module_t by the caller), and also eliminates any confusion
about which context to use after the mp_compile_to_raw_code or
mp_raw_code_load function returns (because there is now only one context,
that stored in mp_compiled_module_t.context).

Without this, newer versions of gcc (eg 11.2.0) used with -O2 can warn
about `q_ptr` being maybe uninitialized, because it doesn't know that there
is at least one qstr being written in to this (alloca'd) memory.
As part of this, change the type of `n` to `size_t` so the compiler knows
it's unsigned and can generate better code.

The recent rework of bytecode made all constants global with respect to the
module (previously, each function had its own constant table). That means
the constant table for a module is shared among all functions/methods/etc
within the module.
This commit add support to the compiler to de-duplicate constants in this
module constant table. So if a constant is used more than once -- eg 1.0
or (None, None) -- then the same object is reused for all instances.
For example, if there is code like `print(1.0, 1.0)` then the parser will
create two independent constants 1.0 and 1.0. The compiler will then (with
this commit) notice they are the same and only put one of them in the
constant table. The bytecode will then reuse that constant twice in the
print expression. That allows the second 1.0 to be reclaimed by the GC,
also means the constant table has one less entry so saves a word.

Prior to this commit, all qstrs were required to be allocated (by calling
mp_emit_common_use_qstr) in the MP_PASS_SCOPE pass (the first one). But
this is an unnecessary restriction, which is lifted by this commit.
Lifting the restriction simplifies the compiler because it can allocate
qstrs in later passes.
This also generates better code, because in some cases (eg when a variable
is closed over) the scope of an identifier is not known until a bit later
and then the identifier no longer needs its qstr allocated in the global
table.
Code size is reduced for all ports with this commit.

Some architectures (like esp32 xtensa) cannot read byte-wise from
executable memory. This means the prelude for native functions -- which is
usually located after the machine code for the native function -- must be
placed in separate memory that can be read byte-wise. Prior to this commit
this was achieved by enabling N_PRELUDE_AS_BYTES_OBJ for the emitter and
MICROPY_EMIT_NATIVE_PRELUDE_AS_BYTES_OBJ for the runtime. The prelude was
then placed in a bytes object, pointed to by the module's constant table.
This behaviour is changed by this commit so that a pointer to the prelude
is stored either in mp_obj_fun_bc_t.child_table, or in
mp_obj_fun_bc_t.child_table[num_children] if num_children > 0. The reasons
for doing this are:
1. It decouples the native emitter from runtime requirements, the emitted
code no longer needs to know if the system it runs on can/can't read
byte-wise from executable memory.
2. It makes all ports have the same emitter behaviour, there is no longer
the N_PRELUDE_AS_BYTES_OBJ option.
3. The module's constant table is now used only for actual constants in the
Python code. This allows further optimisations to be done with the
constants (eg constant deduplication).

There were two issues with the existing code:
1. "1 << i" is computed as a 32-bit number so would overflow when
executed on 64-bit machines (when mp_uint_t is 64-bit). This meant that
*args beyond 32 positions would not be handled correctly.
2. star_args must fit as a positive small int so that it is encoded
correctly in the emitted code. MP_SMALL_INT_BITS is too big because it
overflows a small int by 1 bit. MP_SMALL_INT_BITS - 1 does not work
because it produces a signed small int which is then sign extended when
extracted (even by mp_obj_get_int_truncated), and this sign extension
means that any position arg after *args is also treated as a star-arg.
So the maximum bit position is MP_SMALL_INT_BITS - 2. This means that
MP_OBJ_SMALL_INT_VALUE() can be used instead of
mp_obj_get_int_truncated() to get the value of star_args.
These issues are fixed by this commit, and a test added.

This is a partial implementation of PEP 448 to allow unpacking multiple
star args in a function or method call.
This is implemented by changing the emitted bytecodes so that both
positional args and star args are stored as positional args. A bitmap is
added to indicate if an argument at a given position is a positional
argument or a star arg.
In the generated code, this new bitmap takes the place of the old star arg.
It is stored as a small int, so this means only the first N arguments can
be star args where N is the number of bits in a small int.
The runtime is modified to interpret this new bytecode format while still
trying to perform as few memory reallocations as possible.

This commit introduces changes:
- All jump opcodes are changed to have variable length arguments, of either
1 or 2 bytes (previously they were fixed at 2 bytes). In most cases only
1 byte is needed to encode the short jump offset, saving bytecode size.
- The bytecode emitter now selects 1 byte jump arguments when the jump
offset is guaranteed to fit in 1 byte. This is achieved by checking if
the code size changed during the last pass and, if it did (if it shrank),
then requesting that the compiler make another pass to get the correct
offsets of the now-smaller code. This can continue multiple times until
the code stabilises. The code can only ever shrink so this iteration is
guaranteed to complete. In most cases no extra passes are needed, the
original 4 passes are enough to get it right by the 4th pass (because the
2nd pass computes roughly the correct labels and the 3rd pass computes
the correct size for the jump argument).
This change to the jump opcode encoding reduces .mpy files and RAM usage
(when bytecode is in RAM) by about 2% on average.
The performance of the VM is not impacted, at least within measurment of
the performance benchmark suite.
Code size is reduced for builds that include a decent amount of frozen
bytecode. ARM Cortex-M builds without any frozen code increase by about
350 bytes.

Background: .mpy files are precompiled .py files, built using mpy-cross,
that contain compiled bytecode functions (and can also contain machine
code). The benefit of using an .mpy file over a .py file is that they are
faster to import and take less memory when importing. They are also
smaller on disk.
But the real benefit of .mpy files comes when they are frozen into the
firmware. This is done by loading the .mpy file during compilation of the
firmware and turning it into a set of big C data structures (the job of
mpy-tool.py), which are then compiled and downloaded into the ROM of a
device. These C data structures can be executed in-place, ie directly from
ROM. This makes importing even faster because there is very little to do,
and also means such frozen modules take up much less RAM (because their
bytecode stays in ROM).
The downside of frozen code is that it requires recompiling and reflashing
the entire firmware. This can be a big barrier to entry, slows down
development time, and makes it harder to do OTA updates of frozen code
(because the whole firmware must be updated).
This commit attempts to solve this problem by providing a solution that
sits between loading .mpy files into RAM and freezing them into the
firmware. The .mpy file format has been reworked so that it consists of
data and bytecode which is mostly static and ready to run in-place. If
these new .mpy files are located in flash/ROM which is memory addressable,
the .mpy file can be executed (mostly) in-place.
With this approach there is still a small amount of unpacking and linking
of the .mpy file that needs to be done when it's imported, but it's still
much better than loading an .mpy from disk into RAM (although not as good
as freezing .mpy files into the firmware).
The main trick to make static .mpy files is to adjust the bytecode so any
qstrs that it references now go through a lookup table to convert from
local qstr number in the module to global qstr number in the firmware.
That means the bytecode does not need linking/rewriting of qstrs when it's
loaded. Instead only a small qstr table needs to be built (and put in RAM)
at import time. This means the bytecode itself is static/constant and can
be used directly if it's in addressable memory. Also the qstr string data
in the .mpy file, and some constant object data, can be used directly.
Note that the qstr table is global to the module (ie not per function).
In more detail, in the VM what used to be (schematically):
qst = DECODE_QSTR_VALUE;
is now (schematically):
idx = DECODE_QSTR_INDEX;
qst = qstr_table[idx];
That allows the bytecode to be fixed at compile time and not need
relinking/rewriting of the qstr values. Only qstr_table needs to be linked
when the .mpy is loaded.
Incidentally, this helps to reduce the size of bytecode because what used
to be 2-byte qstr values in the bytecode are now (mostly) 1-byte indices.
If the module uses the same qstr more than two times then the bytecode is
smaller than before.
The following changes are measured for this commit compared to the
previous (the baseline):
- average 7%-9% reduction in size of .mpy files
- frozen code size is reduced by about 5%-7%
- importing .py files uses about 5% less RAM in total
- importing .mpy files uses about 4% less RAM in total
- importing .py and .mpy files takes about the same time as before
The qstr indirection in the bytecode has only a small impact on VM
performance. For stm32 on PYBv1.0 the performance change of this commit

As part of this change the .mpy file format version is bumped to version 6.
And mpy-tool.py has been improved to provide a good visualisation of the
contents of .mpy files.
In summary: this commit changes the bytecode to use qstr indirection, and
reworks the .mpy file format to be simpler and allow .mpy files to be
executed in-place. Performance is not impacted too much. Eventually it
will be possible to store such .mpy files in a linear, read-only, memory-
mappable filesystem so they can be executed from flash/ROM. This will
essentially be able to replace frozen code for most applications.

tuples are used on the left-hand-side of assignments and within del

For example, (1,) was previously the following parse tree:

atom_paren(45) (n=1)
testlist_comp(146) (n=2)
int(1)
testlist_comp_3b(149) (n=1)

MicroPython's original implementation of __aiter__ was correct for an
earlier (provisional) version of PEP492 (CPython 3.5), where __aiter__ was
an async-def function. But that changed in the final version of PEP492 (in
CPython 3.5.2) where the function was changed to a normal one. See
https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0492/#why-aiter-does-not-return-an-awaitable
See also the note at the end of this subsection in the docs:
https://docs.python.org/3.5/reference/datamodel.html#asynchronous-iterators
And for completeness the BPO: https://bugs.python.org/issue27243
To be consistent with the Python spec as it stands today (and now that
PEP492 is final) this commit changes MicroPython's behaviour to match
CPython: __aiter__ should return an async-iterable object, but is not
itself awaitable.
The relevant tests are updated to match.
See #6267.
This addition to the grammar was introduced in Python 3.6. It allows
annotating the type of a varilable, like:
x: int = 123
s: str
The implementation in this commit is quite simple and just ignores the
annotation (the int and str bits above). The reason to implement this is
to allow Python 3.6+ code that uses this feature to compile under
MicroPython without change, and for users to use type checkers.
In the future viper could use this syntax as a way to give types to
variables, which is currently done in a bit of an ad-hoc way, eg
x = int(123). And this syntax could potentially be used in the inline
assembler to define labels in an way that's easier to read.
The syntax matches CPython and the semantics are equivalent except that,
unlike CPython, MicroPython allows using := to assign to comprehension
iteration variables, because disallowing this would take a lot of code to
check for it.
The new compile-time option MICROPY_PY_ASSIGN_EXPR selects this feature and
is enabled by default, following MICROPY_PY_ASYNC_AWAIT.
Note: the uncrustify configuration is explicitly set to 'add' instead of
'force' in order not to alter the comments which use extra spaces after //
as a means of indenting text for clarity.
The decompression of error-strings is only done if the string is accessed
via printing or via er.args. Tests are added for this feature to ensure
the decompression works.
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.
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 check follows CPython's behaviour, because 'import *' always populates
the globals with the imported names, not locals.
Since it's safe to do this (doesn't lead to a crash or undefined behaviour)
the check is only enabled for MICROPY_CPYTHON_COMPAT.
Fixes issue #5121.
This commit adds support for sys.settrace, allowing to install Python
handlers to trace execution of Python code. The interface follows CPython
as closely as possible. The feature is disabled by default and can be
enabled via MICROPY_PY_SYS_SETTRACE.
Prior to this patch the line number for a lambda would be "line 1" if the
body of the lambda contained only a simple expression (with no line number
stored in the parse node). Now the line number is always reported
correctly.
