The __class__ cell used by zero-argument super() is now initialized
from type.__new__ rather than __build_class__, so class methods
relying on that will now work correctly when called from metaclass
methods during class creation.
Patch by Martin Teichmann.
Issue #27213: Rework CALL_FUNCTION* opcodes to produce shorter and more
efficient bytecode:
* CALL_FUNCTION now only accepts position arguments
* CALL_FUNCTION_KW accepts position arguments and keyword arguments, but keys
of keyword arguments are packed into a constant tuple.
* CALL_FUNCTION_EX is the most generic, it expects a tuple and a dict for
positional and keyword arguments.
CALL_FUNCTION_VAR and CALL_FUNCTION_VAR_KW opcodes have been removed.
2 tests of test_traceback are currently broken: skip test, the issue #28050 was
created to track the issue.
Patch by Demur Rumed, design by Serhiy Storchaka, reviewed by Serhiy Storchaka
and Victor Stinner.
In practice, bytecode instruction arguments are unsigned. Update the assertion
to make it more explicit that argument must be greater or equal than 0.
Rewrite also the comment.
The compile ignores constant statements and emit a SyntaxWarning warning.
Don't emit the warning for string statement because triple quoted string is a
common syntax for multiline comments.
Don't emit the warning on ellipis neither: 'def f(): ...' is a legit syntax for
abstract functions.
Changes:
* test_ast: ignore SyntaxWarning when compiling test statements. Modify
test_load_const() to use assignment expressions rather than constant
expression.
* test_code: add more kinds of constant statements, ignore SyntaxWarning when
testing that the compiler removes constant statements.
* test_grammar: ignore SyntaxWarning on the statement "1"
Issue #26146: Add a new kind of AST node: ast.Constant. It can be used by
external AST optimizers, but the compiler does not emit directly such node.
An optimizer can replace the following AST nodes with ast.Constant:
* ast.NameConstant: None, False, True
* ast.Num: int, float, complex
* ast.Str: str
* ast.Bytes: bytes
* ast.Tuple if items are constants too: tuple
* frozenset
Update code to accept ast.Constant instead of ast.Num and/or ast.Str:
* compiler
* docstrings
* ast.literal_eval()
* Tools/parser/unparse.py
Issue #25843: When compiling code, don't merge constants if they are equal but
have a different types. For example, "f1, f2 = lambda: 1, lambda: 1.0" is now
correctly compiled to two different functions: f1() returns 1 (int) and f2()
returns 1.0 (int), even if 1 and 1.0 are equal.
Add a new _PyCode_ConstantKey() private function.
Issue #26107: The format of the co_lnotab attribute of code objects changes to
support negative line number delta.
Changes:
* assemble_lnotab(): if line number delta is less than -128 or greater than
127, emit multiple (offset_delta, lineno_delta) in co_lnotab
* update functions decoding co_lnotab to use signed 8-bit integers
- dis.findlinestarts()
- PyCode_Addr2Line()
- _PyCode_CheckLineNumber()
- frame_setlineno()
* update lnotab_notes.txt
* increase importlib MAGIC_NUMBER to 3361
* document the change in What's New in Python 3.6
* cleanup also PyCode_Optimize() to use better variable names
This changes the main documentation, doc strings, source code comments, and a
couple error messages in the test suite. In some cases the word was removed
or edited some other way to fix the grammar.
Summary of changes:
1. Coroutines now have a distinct, separate from generators
type at the C level: PyGen_Type, and a new typedef PyCoroObject.
PyCoroObject shares the initial segment of struct layout with
PyGenObject, making it possible to reuse existing generators
machinery. The new type is exposed as 'types.CoroutineType'.
As a consequence of having a new type, CO_GENERATOR flag is
no longer applied to coroutines.
2. Having a separate type for coroutines made it possible to add
an __await__ method to the type. Although it is not used by the
interpreter (see details on that below), it makes coroutines
naturally (without using __instancecheck__) conform to
collections.abc.Coroutine and collections.abc.Awaitable ABCs.
[The __instancecheck__ is still used for generator-based
coroutines, as we don't want to add __await__ for generators.]
3. Add new opcode: GET_YIELD_FROM_ITER. The opcode is needed to
allow passing native coroutines to the YIELD_FROM opcode.
Before this change, 'yield from o' expression was compiled to:
(o)
GET_ITER
LOAD_CONST
YIELD_FROM
Now, we use GET_YIELD_FROM_ITER instead of GET_ITER.
The reason for adding a new opcode is that GET_ITER is used
in some contexts (such as 'for .. in' loops) where passing
a coroutine object is invalid.
4. Add two new introspection functions to the inspec module:
getcoroutinestate(c) and getcoroutinelocals(c).
5. inspect.iscoroutine(o) is updated to test if 'o' is a native
coroutine object. Before this commit it used abc.Coroutine,
and it was requested to update inspect.isgenerator(o) to use
abc.Generator; it was decided, however, that inspect functions
should really be tailored for checking for native types.
6. sys.set_coroutine_wrapper(w) API is updated to work with only
native coroutines. Since types.coroutine decorator supports
any type of callables now, it would be confusing that it does
not work for all types of coroutines.
7. Exceptions logic in generators C implementation was updated
to raise clearer messages for coroutines:
Before: TypeError("generator raised StopIteration")
After: TypeError("coroutine raised StopIteration")
compiler warnings on Windows 64-bit. Use Py_SAFE_DOWNCAST() where the final
downcast is needed.
The bytecode doesn't support integer parameters larger than 32-bit yet.
Previously, excessive nesting in expressions would blow the
stack and segfault the interpreter. Now, a hard limit based
on the configured recursion limit and a hardcoded scaling
factor is applied.
* In debug mode, fill the string data with invalid characters
* Simplify also reference counting in PyCodec_BackslashReplaceErrors()
and PyCodec_XMLCharRefReplaceError()
This allows generators that are using yield from to be seen by debuggers. It
also kills the f_yieldfrom field on frame objects.
Patch mostly from Mark Shannon with a few tweaks by me.
Issue #25843: When compiling code, don't merge constants if they are equal but
have a different types. For example, "f1, f2 = lambda: 1, lambda: 1.0" is now
correctly compiled to two different functions: f1() returns 1 (int) and f2()
returns 1.0 (int), even if 1 and 1.0 are equal.
Add a new _PyCode_ConstantKey() private function.
namespace if it occurs as a free variable in a nested block. This limitation
of the compiler has been lifted, and a new opcode introduced (DELETE_DEREF).
This sample was valid in 2.6, but fails to compile in 3.x without this change::
>>> def f():
... def print_error():
... print(e)
... try:
... something
... except Exception as e:
... print_error()
... # implicit "del e" here
This sample has always been invalid in Python, and now works::
>>> def outer(x):
... def inner():
... return x
... inner()
... del x
There is no need to bump the PYC magic number: the new opcode is used
for code that did not compile before.
