Previous to this patch the printing mechanism was a bit of a tangled
mess. This patch attempts to consolidate printing into one interface.
All (non-debug) printing now uses the mp_print* family of functions,
mainly mp_printf. All these functions take an mp_print_t structure as
their first argument, and this structure defines the printing backend
through the "print_strn" function of said structure.
Printing from the uPy core can reach the platform-defined print code via
two paths: either through mp_sys_stdout_obj (defined pert port) in
conjunction with mp_stream_write; or through the mp_plat_print structure
which uses the MP_PLAT_PRINT_STRN macro to define how string are printed
on the platform. The former is only used when MICROPY_PY_IO is defined.
With this new scheme printing is generally more efficient (less layers
to go through, less arguments to pass), and, given an mp_print_t*
structure, one can call mp_print_str for efficiency instead of
mp_printf("%s", ...). Code size is also reduced by around 200 bytes on
Thumb2 archs.
In particular, numbers which are less than 1.0 but which
round up to 1.0.
This also makes those numbers which round up to 1.0 to
print with e+00 rather than e-00 for those formats which
print exponents.
Addresses issue #1178.
This simplifies the API for objects and reduces code size (by around 400
bytes on Thumb2, and around 2k on x86). Performance impact was measured
with Pystone score, but change was barely noticeable.
Fixes msvc linker warnings about mismatching sizes between the mp_obj_fdfile_t
struct defined in file.c and the mp_uint_t declarations found in modsys.c and modbuiltins.c
This patch gets full function argument passing working with native
emitter. Includes named args, keyword args, default args, var args
and var keyword args. Fully Python compliant.
It reuses the bytecode mp_setup_code_state function to do all the hard
work. This function is slightly adjusted to accommodate native calls,
and the native emitter is forced a bit to emit similar prelude and
code-info as bytecode.
splitlines() occurs ~179 times in CPython3 standard library, so was
deemed worthy to implement. The method has subtle semantic differences
from just .split("\n"). It is also defined as working for any end-of-line
combination, but this is currently not implemented - it works only with
LF line-endings (which should be OK for text strings on any platforms,
but not OK for bytes).
I.e. in this mode, C stack will never be used to call a Python function,
but if there's no free heap for a call, it will be reported as
RuntimeError (as expected), not MemoryError.
When just the bytecode emitter is needed there is no need to have a
dynamic method table for the emitter back-end, and we can instead
directly call the mp_emit_bc_XXX functions. This gives a significant
reduction in code size and a very slight performance boost for the
compiler.
This patch saves 1160 bytes code on Thumb2 and 972 bytes on x86, when
native emitters are disabled.
Overall savings in code over the last 3 commits are:
bare-arm: 1664 bytes.
minimal: 2136 bytes.
stmhal: 584 bytes (it has native emitter enabled).
cc3200: 1736 bytes.
First pass for the compiler is computing the scope (eg if an identifier
is local or not) and originally had an entire table of methods dedicated
to this, most of which did nothing. With changes from previous commit,
this set of methods can be removed and the methods from the bytecode
emitter used instead, with very little modification -- this is what is
done in this commit.
This factoring has little to no impact on the speed of the compiler
(tested by compiling 3763 Python scripts and timing it).
This factoring reduces code size by about 270-300 bytes on Thumb2 archs,
and 400 bytes on x86.
