This is for efficiency, so we don't need to subtract 1 from the ip
before storing it to code_state->ip. It saves a lot of ROM bytes on
unix and stmhal.
Mirroring ip to a volatile memory variable for each opcode is an expensive
operation. For quite a lot of often executed opcodes like stack manipulation
or jumps, exceptions cannot actually happen. So, record ip only for opcode
where that's possible.
This patch makes the MICROPY_PY_BUILTINS_SLICE compile-time option
fully disable the builtin slice operation (when set to 0). This
includes removing the slice sytanx from the grammar. Now, enabling
slice costs 4228 bytes on unix x64, and 1816 bytes on stmhal.
This patch makes MICROPY_PY_BUILTINS_SET compile-time option fully
disable the builtin set object (when set to 0). This includes removing
set constructor/comprehension from the grammar, the compiler and the
emitters. Now, enabling set costs 8168 bytes on unix x64, and 3576
bytes on stmhal.
This optimisation reduces the VM exception stack element (mp_exc_stack_t)
by 1 word, by using bit 1 of a pointer to store whether the opcode was a
FINALLY or WITH opcode. This optimisation was pending, waiting for
maturity of the exception handling code, which has now proven itself.
Saves 1 machine word RAM for each exception (4->3 words per exception).
Increases stmhal code by 4 bytes, and decreases unix x64 code by 32
bytes.
This patch gives proper SyntaxError exceptions for bad global/nonlocal
declarations. It also reduces code size: 304 bytes on unix x64, 132
bytes on stmhal.
You can now assign to the range end variable and the for-loop still
works correctly. This fully addresses issue #565.
Also fixed a bug with the stack not being fully popped when breaking out
of an optimised for-loop (and it's actually impossible to write a test
for this case!).
This patch adds a configuration option (MICROPY_CAN_OVERRIDE_BUILTINS)
which, when enabled, allows to override all names within the builtins
module. A builtins override dict is created the first time the user
assigns to a name in the builtins model, and then that dict is searched
first on subsequent lookups. Note that this implementation doesn't
allow deleting of names.
This patch also does some refactoring of builtins code, creating the
modbuiltins.c file.
Addresses issue #959.
The function is modeled after traceback.print_exception(), but unbloated,
and put into existing module to save overhead on adding another module.
Compliant traceback.print_exception() is intended to be implemented in
micropython-lib in terms of sys.print_exception().
This change required refactoring mp_obj_print_exception() to take pfenv_t
interface arguments.
Addresses #751.
mp_obj_int_get_truncated is used as a "fast path" int accessor that
doesn't check for overflow and returns the int truncated to the machine
word size, ie mp_int_t.
Use mp_obj_int_get_truncated to fix struct.pack when packing maximum word
sized values.
Addresses issues #779 and #998.
mp_lexer_t type is exposed, mp_token_t type is removed, and simple lexer
functions (like checking current token kind) are now inlined.
This saves 784 bytes ROM on 32-bit unix, 348 bytes on stmhal, and 460
bytes on bare-arm. It also saves a tiny bit of RAM since mp_lexer_t
is a bit smaller. Also will run a bit more efficiently.
Behaviour of array initialisation is subtly different for bytes,
bytearray and array.array when argument has buffer protocol. This patch
gets us CPython conformant (except we allow initialisation of
array.array by buffer with length not a multiple of typecode).
By using the buffer protocol for these array operations, we now allow
addition of memoryview objects, and objects with "incompatible"
typecodes (in this case it just adds bytes naively). This is an
extension to CPython which seems sensible. It also reduces the code
size.
Before, __repl_print__() used libc printf(), while print() used uPy streams
and own printf() implementation. This led to subtle, but confusing
differences in output when just doing "foo" vs "print(foo)" on interactive
prompt.
