Tim Peters ffe2395777 Remove now-unused variables from tp_traverse and tp_clear methods. 2006-04-15 22:51:26 +00:00
Thomas Wouters c6e55068ca Use Py_VISIT in all tp_traverse methods, instead of traversing manually or
using a custom, nearly-identical macro. This probably changes how some of
these functions are compiled, which may result in fractionally slower (or
faster) execution. Considering the nature of traversal, visiting much of the
address space in unpredictable patterns, I'd argue the code readability and
maintainability is well worth it ;P

Martin v. Löwis b1ed7fac12 Replace INT_MAX with PY_SSIZE_T_MAX. 2006-04-13 07:52:27 +00:00
Anthony Baxter 377be11ee1 More C++-compliance. Note especially listobject.c - to get C++ to accept the
PyTypeObject structures, I had to make prototypes for the functions, and
move the structure definition ahead of the functions. I'd dearly like a better
way to do this - to change this would make for a massive set of changes to
the codebase.

There's still some warnings - this is purely to get rid of errors first.

Jeremy Hylton af68c874a6 Add const to several API functions that take char *.
In C++, it's an error to pass a string literal to a char* function
without a const_cast().  Rather than require every C++ extension
module to put a cast around string literals, fix the API to state the
const-ness.

I focused on parts of the API where people usually pass literals:
PyArg_ParseTuple() and friends, Py_BuildValue(), PyMethodDef, the type
slots, etc.  Predictably, there were a large set of functions that
needed to be fixed as a result of these changes.  The most pervasive
change was to make the keyword args list passed to
PyArg_ParseTupleAndKewords() to be a const char *kwlist[].

One cast was required as a result of the changes:  A type object
mallocs the memory for its tp_doc slot and later frees it.
PyTypeObject says that tp_doc is const char *; but if the type was
created by type_new(), we know it is safe to cast to char *.

Raymond Hettinger fb09f0e85c Finalize the freelist of list objects. 2004-10-07 03:58:07 +00:00
Raymond Hettinger aa241e0149 Checkin Tim's fix to an error discussed on python-dev.
Also, add a testcase.

Formerly, the list_extend() code used several local variables to remember
its state across iterations.  Since an iteration could call arbitrary
Python code, it was possible for the list state to be changed.  The new
code uses dynamic structure references instead of C locals.  So, they
are always up-to-date.

After list_resize() is called, its size has been updated but the new
cells are filled with NULLs.  These needed to be filled before arbitrary
iteration code was called; otherwise, that code could attempt to modify
a list that was in a semi-invalid state.  The solution was to change
the ob->size field back to a value reflecting the actual number of valid
cells.

Raymond Hettinger a84f3abb9e SF #1022910: Conserve memory with list.pop()
The list resizing scheme only downsized when more than 16 elements were
removed in a single step:  del a[100:120].   As a result, the list would
never shrink when popping elements off one at a time.

This patch makes it shrink whenever more than half of the space is unused.

Also, at Tim's suggestion, renamed _new_size to new_allocated.  This makes
the code easier to understand.

Brett Cannon 5ad28e14b6 Tweak previous patch to silence a warning about the unused left value in the
comma expression in listpop() that was being returned.  Still essentially
unused (as it is meant to be), but now the compiler thinks it is worth
*something* by having it incremented.

Tim Peters 8fc4a91665 list_ass_slice(): Document the obscure new intent that deleting a slice
of no more than 8 elements cannot fail.

listpop():  Take advantage of that its calls to list_resize() and
list_ass_slice() can't fail.  This is assert'ed in a debug build now, but
in an icky way.  That is, you can't say:

	assert(some_call() >= 0);

because then some_call() won't occur at all in a release build.  So it
has to be a big pile of #ifdefs on Py_DEBUG (yuck), or the pleasant:

        status = some_call();
        assert(status >= 0);

But in that case, compilers may whine in a release build, because status
appears unused then.  I'm not certain the ugly trick I used here will
convince all compilers to shut up about status (status is always "used" now,
as the first (ignored) clause in a comma expression).
2004-07-31 21:53:19 +00:00
Tim Peters 7357222d0e list_ass_slice(): The difference between "recycle" and "recycled" was
impossible to remember, so renamed one to something obvious.  Headed
off potential signed-vs-unsigned compiler complaints I introduced by
changing the type of a vrbl to unsigned.  Removed the need for the
tedious explanation about "backward pointer loops" by looping on an
int instead.
2004-07-31 02:54:42 +00:00
Tim Peters 8d9eb10c29 Armin asked for a list_ass_slice review in his checkin, so here's the
result.

list_resize():  Document the intent.  Code is increasingly relying on
subtle aspects of its behavior, and they deserve to be spelled out.

list_ass_slice():  A bit more simplification, by giving it a common
error exit and initializing more values.

Be clearer in comments about what "size" means (# of elements?  # of
bytes?).

While the number of elements in a list slice must fit in an int, there's
no guarantee that the number of bytes occupied by the slice will.  That
malloc() and memmove() take size_t arguments is a hint about that <wink>.
So changed to use size_t where appropriate.

ihigh - ilow should always be >= 0, but we never asserted that.  We do
now.

The loop decref'ing the recycled slice had a subtle insecurity:  C doesn't
guarantee that a pointer one slot *before* an array will compare "less
than" to a pointer within the array (it does guarantee that a pointer
one beyond the end of the array compares as expected).  This was actually
an issue in KSR's C implementation, so isn't purely theoretical.  Python
probably has other "go backwards" loops with a similar glitch.
list_clear() is OK (it marches an integer backwards, not a pointer).
2004-07-31 02:24:20 +00:00
Armin Rigo 1dd04a02e0 This is a reorganization of list_ass_slice(). It should probably be reviewed,
though I tried to be very careful.  This is a slight simplification, and it
adds a new feature: a small stack-allocated "recycled" array for the cases
when we don't remove too many items.

It allows PyList_SetSlice() to never fail if:
* you are sure that the object is a list; and
* you either do not remove more than 8 items, or clear the list.

This makes a number of other places in the source code correct again -- there
are some places that delete a single item without checking for MemoryErrors
raised by PyList_SetSlice(), or that clear the whole list, and sometimes the
context doesn't allow an error to be propagated.

Armin Rigo a37bbf2e5b What if you call lst.__init__() while it is being sorted? :-)
The invariant checks would break.
2004-07-30 11:20:18 +00:00
Raymond Hettinger c0aaa2db4f * Simplify and speed-up list_resize(). Relying on the newly documented
invariants allows the ob_item != NULL check to be replaced with an
  assertion.

* Added assertions to list_init() which document and verify that the
  tp_new slot establishes the invariants.  This may preclude a future
  bug if a custom tp_new slot is written.
2004-07-29 23:31:29 +00:00
Armin Rigo 93677f075d * drop the unreasonable list invariant that ob_item should never come back
to NULL during the lifetime of the object.

* listobject.c nevertheless did not conform to the other invariants,
  either; fixed.

* listobject.c now uses list_clear() as the obvious internal way to clear
  a list, instead of abusing list_ass_slice() for that.  It makes it easier
  to enforce the invariant about ob_item == NULL.

* listsort() sets allocated to -1 during sort; any mutation will set it
  to a value >= 0, so it is a safe way to detect mutation.  A negative
  value for allocated does not cause a problem elsewhere currently.
  test_sort.py has a new test for this fix.

* listsort() leak: if items were added to the list during the sort, AND if
  these items had a __del__ that puts still more stuff into the list,
  then this more stuff (and the PyObject** array to hold them) were
  overridden at the end of listsort() and never released.

Armin Rigo f414fc4004 Minor memory leak. 2004-07-29 10:56:55 +00:00
Tim Peters 51b4ade306 Fix obscure breakage (relative to 2.3) in listsort: the test for list
mutation during list.sort() used to rely on that listobject.c always
NULL'ed ob_item when ob_size fell to 0.  That's no longer true, so the
test for list mutation during a sort is no longer reliable.  Changed the
test to rely instead on that listobject.c now never NULLs-out ob_item
after (if ever) ob_item gets a non-NULL value.  This new assumption is
also documented now, as a required invariant in listobject.h.

The new assumption allowed some real simplification to some of the
hairier code in listsort(), so is a Good Thing on that count.

2004-03-15 09:01:31 +00:00
Raymond Hettinger 0e91643bd2 list_resize() now has an "exact" option for bypassing the overallocation
scheme in situations that likely won't benefit from it.  This further
improves memory utilization from Py2.3 which always over-allocates
except for PyList_New().

Situations expected to benefit from over-allocation:
    list.insert(), list.pop(), list.append(), and list.extend()

Situations deemed unlikely to benefit:
    list_inplace_repeat, list_ass_slice, list_ass_subscript

The most gray area was for listextend_internal() which only runs
when the argument is a list or a tuple.  This could be viewed as
a one-time fixed length addition or it could be viewed as wrapping
a series of appends.  I left its over-allocation turned on but
could be convinced otherwise.

2004-03-12 08:04:00 +00:00
Raymond Hettinger 57c4542bcd Now that list.extend() is at the root of many list operations, it becomes
worth it to in-line the call to PyIter_Next().

Saves another 15% on most list operations that acceptable a general
iterable argument (such as the list constructor).

2004-03-11 09:13:12 +00:00
Raymond Hettinger 97bc618229 list_inplace_concat() is now expressed in terms of list_extend() which

lists or tuples.

In other words, a+=b no longer requires extra memory when b is not a

Raymond Hettinger ef9bf4031a Tidied up the implementations of reversed (including the custom ones
for xrange and list objects).

* list.__reversed__ now checks the length of the sequence object before
  calling PyList_GET_ITEM() because the mutable could have changed length.

* all three implementations are now tranparent with respect to length and
  maintain the invariant len(it) == len(list(it)) even when the underlying
  sequence mutates.

* __builtin__.reversed() now frees the underlying sequence as soon
  as the iterator is exhausted.

* the code paths were rearranged so that the most common paths
  do not require a jump.

* Replace sprintf message with a constant message string -- this error
  message ran on every invocation except straight deletions but it was

  out-of-date and did not reflect that iterable arguments were allowed.

* For inner loops that do not make ref count adjustments, use memmove()

Raymond Hettinger 90a39bf12c Refactor list_extend() and list_fill() for gains in code size, memory

* Moved the responsibility for emptying the previous list from list_fill
  to list_init.

* Replaced the code in list_extend with the superior code from list_fill.

* Eliminated list_fill.

Results:

* list.extend() no longer creates an intermediate tuple except to handle
  the special case of x.extend(x).  The saves memory and time.

* list.extend(x) runs
    5 to 10% faster when x is a list or tuple
    15% faster when x is an iterable not defining __len__
    twice as fast when x is an iterable defining __len__

* the code is about 15 lines shorter and no longer duplicates
  functionality.
2004-02-15 03:57:00 +00:00
Raymond Hettinger ab517d2eac Fine tune the speed/space trade-off for overallocating small lists.
The Py2.3 approach overallocated small lists by up to 8 elements.
The last checkin would limited this to one but slowed down (by 20 to 30%)
the creation of small lists between 3 to 8 elements.

This tune-up balances the two, limiting overallocation to 3 elements
(significantly reducing space consumption from Py2.3) and running faster
than the previous checkin.

The first part of the growth pattern (0, 4, 8, 16) neatly meshes with
allocators that trigger data movement only when crossing a power of two
boundary.  Also, then even numbers mesh well with common data alignments.

2004-02-13 18:36:31 +00:00
Raymond Hettinger 4bb9540dd6 * Optimized list appends and pops by making fewer calls the underlying system
realloc().  This is achieved by tracking the overallocation size in a new
  field and using that information to skip calls to realloc() whenever
  possible.

* Simplified and tightened the amount of overallocation.  For larger lists,
  this overallocates by 1/8th (compared to the previous scheme which ranged
  between 1/4th to 1/32nd over-allocation).  For smaller lists (n<6), the
  maximum overallocation is one byte (formerly it could be upto eight bytes).
  This saves memory in applications with large numbers of small lists.

* Eliminated the NRESIZE macro in favor of a new, static list_resize function
  that encapsulates the resizing logic.  Coverting this back to macro would
  give a small (under 1%) speed-up.  This was too small to warrant the loss
  of readability, maintainability, and de-coupling.

* Some functions using NRESIZE had grown unnecessarily complex in their
  efforts to bend to the macro's calling pattern.  With the new list_resize
  function in place, those other functions could be simplified.  That is
  being saved for a separate patch.

* The ob_item==NULL check could be eliminated from the new list_resize
  function.  This would entail finding each piece of code that sets ob_item
  to NULL and adding a new line to invalidate the overallocation tracking
  field.  Rather than impose a new requirement on other pieces of list code,
  it was preferred to leave the NULL check in place and retain the benefits
  of decoupling, maintainability and information hiding (only PyList_New()
  and list_sort() need to know about the new field).  This approach also
  reduces the odds of breaking an extension module.

Andrew MacIntyre d57caed52c Performance of list([]) in 2.3 came up in a thread on comp.lang.python,
which can be reviewed via
http://coding.derkeiler.com/Archive/Python/comp.lang.python/2003-12/1011.html

Duncan Booth investigated, and discovered that an "optimisation" was
in fact a pessimisation for small numbers of elements in a source list,
compared to not having the optimisation, although with large numbers
of elements in the source list the optimisation was quite beneficial.

He posted his change to comp.lang.python (but not to SF).

Further research has confirmed his assessment that the optimisation only
becomes a net win when the source list has more than 100 elements.

I also found that the optimisation could apply to tuples as well,
but the gains only arrive with source tuples larger than about 320
elements and are nowhere near as significant as the gains with lists,
(~95% gain @ 10000 elements for lists, ~20% gain @ 10000 elements for
tuples) so I haven't proceeded with this.

The code as it was applied the optimisation to list subclasses as
well, and this also appears to be a net loss for all reasonable sized
sources (~80-100% for up to 100 elements, ~20% for more than 500
elements; I tested up to 10000 elements).

Duncan also suggested special casing empty lists, which I've extended
to all empty sequences.

On the basis that list_fill() is only ever called with a list for the
result argument, testing for the source being the destination has
now happens before testing source types.

Raymond Hettinger 42b1ba31af * list.sort() now supports three keyword arguments: cmp, key, and reverse.
key provides C support for the decorate-sort-undecorate pattern.

Raymond Hettinger 686b14d7ad SF bug #730296: Unexpected Changes in list Iterator
Reverted a Py2.3b1 change to iterator in subclasses of list and tuple.
They had been changed to use __getitem__ whenever it had been overriden
in the subclass.

This caused some usabilty and performance problems.  Also, it was
inconsistent with the rest of python where many container methods
access the underlying object directly without first checking for
an overridden getter.  Users needing a change in iterator behavior
should override it directly.

Raymond Hettinger 9928571f3f SF bug 665835: filter() treatment of str and tuple inconsistent
As a side issue on this bug, it was noted that list and tuple iterators
used macros to directly access containers and would not recognize
__getitem__ overrides.  If the method is overridden, the patch returns
a generic sequence iterator which calls the __getitem__ method; otherwise,
it returns a high custom iterator with direct access to container elements.

Guido van Rossum 3a3cca5b82 - list.insert(i, x) now interprets negative i as it would be
interpreted by slicing, so negative values count from the end of the

  placed on a list index.

slightly fiddled to catch more cases of list mutation.  The dreaded
internal "immutable list type" is gone!  OTOH, if you look at a list
*while* it's being sorted now, it will appear to be empty.  Better
than a core dump.
