The new compile-time option is MICROPY_DEBUG_MP_OBJ_SENTINELS, disabled by
default. This is to allow finer control of whether this debugging feature
is enabled or not (because, for example, this setting must be the same for
mpy-cross and the MicroPython main code when using native code generation).
These macros could in principle be (inline) functions so it makes sense to
have them lower case, to match the other C API functions.
The remaining macros that are upper case are:
- MP_OBJ_TO_PTR, MP_OBJ_FROM_PTR
- MP_OBJ_NEW_SMALL_INT, MP_OBJ_SMALL_INT_VALUE
- MP_OBJ_NEW_QSTR, MP_OBJ_QSTR_VALUE
- MP_OBJ_FUN_MAKE_SIG
- MP_DECLARE_CONST_xxx
- MP_DEFINE_CONST_xxx
These must remain macros because they are used when defining const data (at
least, MP_OBJ_NEW_SMALL_INT is so it makes sense to have
MP_OBJ_SMALL_INT_VALUE also a macro).
For those macros that have been made lower case, compatibility macros are
provided for the old names so that users do not need to change their code
immediately.
For architectures where size_t is less than 32 bits (eg 16 bits) the args
must be casted to uint32_t so the left shift will work. For architectures
where size_t is greater than 32 bits (eg 64 bits) this new casting will not
lose any bits because the end result must anyway fit in a uint32_t.
This commit adds first class support for yield and yield-from in the native
emitter, including send and throw support, and yields enclosed in exception
handlers (which requires pulling down the NLR stack before yielding, then
rebuilding it when resuming).
This has been fully tested and is working on unix x86 and x86-64, and
stm32. Also basic tests have been done with the esp8266 port. Performance
of existing native code is unchanged.
When obj.h is compiled as C++ code, the cl compiler emits a warning about
possibly unsafe mixing of size_t and bool types in the or operation in
MP_OBJ_FUN_MAKE_SIG. Similarly there's an implicit narrowing integer
conversion in runtime.h. This commit fixes this by being explicit.
With 5 arguments to mp_arg_check_num(), some architectures need to pass
values on the stack. So compressing n_args_min, n_args_max, takes_kw into
a single word and passing only 3 arguments makes the call more efficient,
because almost all calls to this function pass in constant values. Code
size is also reduced by a decent amount:
bare-arm: -116
minimal x86: -64
unix x64: -256
unix nanbox: -112
stm32: -324
cc3200: -192
esp8266: -192
esp32: -144
Because this function is simple it saves code size to have it inlined.
Being an auxiliary helper function (and only used in the py/ core) the
argument should always be an mp_obj_module_t*, so there's no need for the
assert (and having it would require including assert.h in obj.h).
It's a very simple function and saves code, and improves efficiency, by
being inline. Note that this is an auxiliary helper function and so
doesn't need mp_check_self -- that's used for functions that can be
accessed directly from Python code (eg from a method table).
For generating functions there is no need to wrap the bytecode function in
a generator wrapper instance. Instead the type of the bytecode function
can be changed to mp_type_gen_wrap. This reduces code size and saves a
block of GC heap RAM for each generator.
Since a long time now, mp_obj_type_t no longer refers explicitly to
mp_stream_p_t but rather to an abstract "const void *protocol". So there's
no longer any need to define mp_stream_p_t in obj.h and it can go with all
its associated definitions in stream.h. Pretty much all users of this type
will already include the stream header.
Prior to this patch the code would crash if a key in a ** dict was anything
other than a str or qstr. This is because mp_setup_code_state() assumes
that keys in kwargs are qstrs (for efficiency).
Thanks to @jepler for finding the bug.
So far, implements just append() and popleft() methods, required for
a normal queue. Constructor doesn't accept an arbitarry sequence to
initialize from (am empty deque is always created), so an empty tuple
must be passed as such. Only fixed-size deques are supported, so 2nd
argument (size) is required.
There's also an extension to CPython - if True is passed as 3rd argument,
append(), instead of silently overwriting the oldest item on queue
overflow, will throw IndexError. This behavior is desired in many
cases, where queues should store information reliably, instead of
silently losing some items.
This constant exception instance was once used by m_malloc_fail() to raise
a MemoryError without allocating memory, but it was made obsolete long ago
by 3556e45711. The functionality is now
replaced by the use of mp_emergency_exception_obj which lives in the global
uPy state, and which can handle any exception type, not just MemoryError.
The nan-boxing representation has an extra 16-bits of space to store
small-int values, and making use of it allows to create and manipulate full
32-bit positive integers (ie up to 0xffffffff) without using the heap.
This patch simplifies the str creation API to favour the common case of
creating a str object that is not forced to be interned. To force
interning of a new str the new mp_obj_new_str_via_qstr function is added,
and should only be used if warranted.
Apart from simplifying the mp_obj_new_str function (and making it have the
same signature as mp_obj_new_bytes), this patch also reduces code size by a
bit (-16 bytes for bare-arm and roughly -40 bytes on the bare-metal archs).
These are now returned as "operation not supported" instead of raising
TypeError. In particular, this fixes equality for float vs incompatible
types, which now properly results in False instead of exception. This
also paves the road to support reverse operation (e.g. __radd__) with
float objects.
This is achieved by introducing mp_obj_get_float_maybe(), similar to
existing mp_obj_get_int_maybe().
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.
The unary-op/binary-op enums are already defined, and there are no
arithmetic tricks used with these types, so it makes sense to use the
correct enum type for arguments that take these values. It also reduces
code size quite a bit for nan-boxing builds.
The code conventions suggest using header guards, but do not define how
those should look like and instead point to existing files. However, not
all existing files follow the same scheme, sometimes omitting header guards
altogether, sometimes using non-standard names, making it easy to
accidentally pick a "wrong" example.
This commit ensures that all header files of the MicroPython project (that
were not simply copied from somewhere else) follow the same pattern, that
was already present in the majority of files, especially in the py folder.
The rules are as follows.
Naming convention:
* start with the words MICROPY_INCLUDED
* contain the full path to the file
* replace special characters with _
In addition, there are no empty lines before #ifndef, between #ifndef and
one empty line before #endif. #endif is followed by a comment containing
the name of the guard macro.
py/grammar.h cannot use header guards by design, since it has to be
included multiple times in a single C file. Several other files also do not
need header guards as they are only used internally and guaranteed to be
included only once:
* MICROPY_MPHALPORT_H
* mpconfigboard.h
* mpconfigport.h
* mpthreadport.h
* pin_defs_*.h
* qstrdefs*.h
The common cases for inheritance are 0 or 1 parent types, for both built-in
types (eg built-in exceptions) as well as user defined types. So it makes
sense to optimise the case of 1 parent type by storing just the type and
not a tuple of 1 value (that value being the single parent type).
This patch makes such an optimisation. Even though there is a bit more
code to handle the two cases (either a single type or a tuple with 2 or
more values) it helps reduce overall code size because it eliminates the
need to create a static tuple to hold single parents (eg for the built-in
exceptions). It also helps reduce RAM usage for user defined types that
only derive from a single parent.
Changes in code size (in bytes) due to this patch:
bare-arm: -16
minimal (x86): -176
unix (x86-64): -320
unix nanbox: -384
stmhal: -64
cc3200: -32
esp8266: -108
Hashing of float and complex numbers that are exact (real) integers should
return the same integer hash value as hashing the corresponding integer
value. Eg hash(1), hash(1.0) and hash(1+0j) should all be the same (this
is how Python is specified: if x==y then hash(x)==hash(y)).
This patch implements the simplest way of doing float/complex hashing by
just converting the value to int and returning that value.
The first memmove now copies less bytes in some cases (because len_adj <=
slice_len), and the memcpy is replaced with memmove to support the
possibility that dest and slice regions are overlapping.
This patch changes mp_uint_t to size_t for the len argument of the
following public facing C functions:
mp_obj_tuple_get
mp_obj_list_get
mp_obj_get_array
These functions take a pointer to the len argument (to be filled in by the
function) and callers of these functions should update their code so the
type of len is changed to size_t. For ports that don't use nan-boxing
there should be no change in generate code because the size of the type
remains the same (word sized), and in a lot of cases there won't even be a
compiler warning if the type remains as mp_uint_t.
The reason for this change is to standardise on the use of size_t for
variables that count memory (or memory related) sizes/lengths. It helps
builds that use nan-boxing.
It improves readability of code and reduces the chance to make a mistake.
This patch also fixes a bug with nan-boxing builds by rounding up the
calculation of the new NSLOTS variable, giving the correct number of slots
(being 4) even if mp_obj_t is larger than the native machine size.
Allows to iterate over the following without allocating on the heap:
- tuple
- list
- string, bytes
- bytearray, array
- dict (not dict.keys, dict.values, dict.items)
- set, frozenset
Allows to call the following without heap memory:
- all, any, min, max, sum
TODO: still need to allocate stack memory in bytecode for iter_buf.
