Raymond Hettinger 0bbbfc4c0b Extend work on rev 52962 and 53829 eliminating redundant PyObject_Hash() calls and fixing set/dict interoperability. 2007-03-20 21:27:24 +00:00
Neal Norwitz ee3a1b5244 Variation of patch # 1624059 to speed up checking if an object is a subclass
of some of the common builtin types.

Use a bit in tp_flags for each common builtin type.  Check the bit
to determine if any instance is a subclass of these common types.
The check avoids a function call and O(n) search of the base classes.
The check is done in the various Py*_Check macros rather than calling
PyType_IsSubtype().

All the bits are set in tp_flags when the type is declared
in the Objects/*object.c files because PyType_Ready() is not called
for all the types.  Should PyType_Ready() be called for all types?
If so and the change is made, the changes to the Objects/*object.c files
can be reverted (remove setting the tp_flags).  Objects/typeobject.c
would also have to be modified to add conditions
for Py*_CheckExact() in addition to each the PyType_IsSubtype check.

Tim Peters d770ebd286 Armin committed his patch while I was reviewing it (I'm sure
he didn't know this), so merged in some changes I made during
review.  Nothing material apart from changing a new `mask` local
from int to Py_ssize_t.  Mostly this is repairing comments that
were made incorrect, and adding new comments.  Also a few
minor code rewrites for clarity or helpful succinctness.

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

Guido van Rossum 1968ad32cd - Patch 1433928:
- The copy module now "copies" function objects (as atomic objects).
  - dict.__getitem__ now looks for a __missing__ hook before raising
    KeyError.
  - Added a new type, defaultdict, to the collections module.
    This uses the new __missing__ hook behavior added to dict (see above).

Raymond Hettinger 0ce6dc8530 Make the new dictionary iterators transparent with respect to length.

Raymond Hettinger 019a148c72 Optimize dictionary iterators.
* Split into three separate types that share everything except the
  code for iternext.  Saves run time decision making and allows
  each iternext function to be specialized.

* Inlined PyDict_Next().  In addition to saving a function call, this
  allows a redundant test to be eliminated and further specialization
  of the code for the unique needs of each iterator type.

* Created a reusable result tuple for iteritems().  Saves the malloc
  time for tuples when the previous result was not kept by client code
  (this is the typical use case for iteritems).  If the client code
  does keep the reference, then a new tuple is created.

Results in a 20% to 30% speedup depending on the size and sparsity
of the dictionary.
2004-03-18 02:41:19 +00:00
Raymond Hettinger 4344278250 Dictionary optimizations:
* Factored constant structure references out of the inner loops for
  PyDict_Next(), dict_keys(), dict_values(), and dict_items().
  Gave measurable speedups to each (the improvement varies depending
  on the sparseness of the dictionary being measured).

* Added a freelist scheme styled after that for tuples.  Saves around
  80% of the calls to malloc and free.  About 10% of the time, the
  previous dictionary was completely empty; in those cases, the
  dictionary initialization with memset() can be skipped.

Tim Peters 080c88b912 cPickle.c, load_build(): Taught cPickle how to pick apart
the optional proto 2 slot state.

pickle.py, load_build():  CAUTION:  Noted that cPickle's
load_build and pickle's load_build really don't do the same
things with the state, and didn't before this patch either.
cPickle never tries to do .update(), and has no backoff if
instance.__dict__ can't be retrieved.  There are no tests
that can tell the difference, and part of what cPickle's
load_build() did looked accidental to me, so I don't know
what the true intent is here.

exempting cPickle from running some of the proto 2 tests.

Jeremy Hylton 938ace69a0 staticforward bites the dust.
The staticforward define was needed to support certain broken C
compilers (notably SCO ODT 3.0, perhaps early AIX as well) botched the
static keyword when it was used with a forward declaration of a static
initialized structure.  Standard C allows the forward declaration with
static, and we've decided to stop catering to broken C compilers.  (In
fact, we expect that the compilers are all fixed eight years later.)

I'm leaving staticforward and statichere defined in object.h as
static.  This is only for backwards compatibility with C extensions
that might still use it.

XXX I haven't updated the documentation.

Guido van Rossum 2147df748f Make StopIteration a sink state. This is done by clearing out the
di_dict field when the end of the list is reached.  Also make the
error ("dictionary changed size during iteration") a sticky state.

Also remove the next() method -- one is supplied automatically by
PyType_Ready() because the tp_iternext slot is set.  That's a good
thing, because the implementation given here was buggy (it never
raised StopIteration).

Guido van Rossum 77f6a65eb0 Add the 'bool' type and its values 'False' and 'True', as described in
PEP 285.  Everything described in the PEP is here, and there is even
some documentation.  I had to fix 12 unit tests; all but one of these
were printing Boolean outcomes that changed from 0/1 to False/True.
(The exception is test_unicode.py, which did a type(x) == type(y)
style comparison.  I could've fixed that with a single line using
issubtype(x, type(y)), but instead chose to be explicit about those
places where a bool is expected.

Still to do: perhaps more documentation; change standard library
modules to return False/True from predicates.

Guido van Rossum dbb53d9918 Fix of SF bug #475877 (Mutable subtype instances are hashable).
Rather than tweaking the inheritance of type object slots (which turns
out to be too messy to try), this fix adds a __hash__ to the list and
dict types (the only mutable types I'm aware of) that explicitly
raises an error.  This has the advantage that list.__hash__([]) also
raises an error (previously, this would invoke object.__hash__([]),
returning the argument's address); ditto for dict.__hash__.

The disadvantage for this fix is that 3rd party mutable types aren't
automatically fixed.  This should be added to the rules for creating
subclassable extension types: if you don't want your object to be
hashable, add a tp_hash function that raises an exception.

Also, it's possible that I've forgotten about other mutable types for
which this should be done.

Tim Peters 1fc240e851 Generalize dictionary() to accept a sequence of 2-sequences. At the
outer level, the iterator protocol is used for memory-efficiency (the
outer sequence may be very large if fully materialized); at the inner
level, PySequence_Fast() is used for time-efficiency (these should
always be sequences of length 2).

dictobject.c, new functions PyDict_{Merge,Update}FromSeq2.  These are
wholly analogous to PyDict_{Merge,Update}, but process a sequence-of-2-
sequences argument instead of a mapping object.  For now, I left these
functions file static, so no corresponding doc changes.  It's tempting
to change dict.update() to allow a sequence-of-2-seqs argument too.

Also changed the name of dictionary's keyword argument from "mapping"
to "x".  Got a better name?  "mapping_or_sequence_of_pairs" isn't
attractive, although more so than "mosop" <wink>.

abstract.h, abstract.tex:  Added new PySequence_Fast_GET_SIZE function,
much faster than going thru the all-purpose PySequence_Size.

libfuncs.tex:
- Document dictionary().
- Fiddle tuple() and list() to admit that their argument is optional.
- The long-winded repetitions of "a sequence, a container that supports
  iteration, or an iterator object" is getting to be a PITA.  Many
  months ago I suggested factoring this out into "iterable object",
  where the definition of that could include being explicit about
  generators too (as is, I'm not sure a reader outside of PythonLabs
  could guess that "an iterator object" includes a generator call).
- Please check my curly braces -- I'm going blind <0.9 wink>.

abstract.c, PySequence_Tuple():  When PyObject_GetIter() fails, leave
its error msg alone now (the msg it produces has improved since
PySequence_Tuple was generalized to accept iterable objects, and
PySequence_Tuple was also stomping on the msg in cases it shouldn't
have even before PyObject_GetIter grew a better msg).
2001-10-26 05:06:50 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 9475a2310d Enable GC for new-style instances. This touches lots of files, since
many types were subclassable but had a xxx_dealloc function that
called PyObject_DEL(self) directly instead of deferring to
self->ob_type->tp_free(self).  It is permissible to set tp_free in the
type object directly to _PyObject_Del, for non-GC types, or to
_PyObject_GC_Del, for GC types.  Still, PyObject_DEL was a tad faster,
so I'm fearing that our pystone rating is going down again.  I'm not
sure if doing something like

void xxx_dealloc(PyObject *self)
{
	if (PyXxxCheckExact(self))
		PyObject_DEL(self);
	else

}

is any faster than always calling the else branch, so I haven't
attempted that -- however those types whose own dealloc is fancier
(int, float, unicode) do use this pattern.

Tim Peters 0ab085c4cb Changed the dict implementation to take "string shortcuts" only when
keys are true strings -- no subclasses need apply.  This may be debatable.

The problem is that a str subclass may very well want to override __eq__
and/or __hash__ (see the new example of case-insensitive strings in
test_descr), but go-fast shortcuts for strings are ubiquitous in our dicts
(and subclass overrides aren't even looked for then).  Another go-fast
reason for the change is that PyCheck_StringExact() is a quicker test
than PyCheck_String(), and we make such a test on virtually every access
to every dict.

OTOH, a str subclass may also be perfectly happy using the base str eq
and hash, and this change slows them a lot.  But those cases are still
hypothetical, while Python's own reliance on true-string dicts is not.

Tim Peters 25786c0851 Make dictionary() a real constructor. Accepts at most one argument, "a
mapping object", in the same sense dict.update(x) requires of x (that x
has a keys() method and a getitem).
Questionable:  The other type constructors accept a keyword argument, so I
did that here too (e.g., dictionary(mapping={1:2}) works).  But type_call
doesn't pass the keyword args to the tp_new slot (it passes NULL), it only
passes them to the tp_init slot, so getting at them required adding a
tp_init slot to dicts.  Looks like that makes the normal case (i.e., no
args at all) a little slower (the time it takes to call dict.tp_init and
have it figure out there's nothing to do).

Guido van Rossum 05ac6de2d5 Add PyDict_Merge(a, b, override):
PyDict_Merge(a, b, 1) is the same as PyDict_Update(a, b).
PyDict_Merge(a, b, 0) does something similar but leaves existing items
unchanged.

Barry Warsaw 66a0d1d9b9 dict_update(): Generalize this method so {}.update() accepts any
"mapping" object, specifically one that supports PyMapping_Keys() and
PyObject_GetItem().  This allows you to say e.g. {}.update(UserDict())

We keep the special case for concrete dict objects, although that
seems moderately questionable.  OTOH, the code exists and works, so
why change that?

.update()'s docstring already claims that D.update(E) implies calling
E.keys() so it's appropriate not to transform AttributeErrors in
PyMapping_Keys() to TypeErrors.

Patch eyeballed by Tim.

Tim Peters c605784174 dict_repr: Reuse one of the int vars (minor code simplification). 2001-06-16 07:52:53 +00:00
Tim Peters a7259597f1 SF bug 433228: repr(list) woes when len(list) big.
Gave Python linear-time repr() implementations for dicts, lists, strings.
This means, e.g., that repr(range(50000)) is no longer 50x slower than
pprint.pprint() in 2.2 <wink>.

I don't consider this a bugfix candidate, as it's a performance boost.

Added _PyString_Join() to the internal string API.  If we want that in the
public API, fine, but then it requires runtime error checks instead of
asserts.

Tim Peters afb6ae8452 Store the mask instead of the size in dictobjects. The mask is more
frequently used, and in particular this allows to drop the last
remaining obvious time-waster in the crucial lookdict() and
lookdict_string() functions.  Other changes consist mostly of changing
"i < ma_size" to "i <= ma_mask" everywhere.

Tim Peters 453163d842 lookdict: stop more insane core-dump mutating comparison cases. Should
be possible to provoke unbounded recursion now, but leaving that to someone
else to provoke and repair.
Bugfix candidate -- although this is getting harder to backstitch, and the
cases it's protecting against are mondo contrived.

Tim Peters 7b5d0afb1e lookdict: Reduce obfuscating code duplication with a judicious goto.
This code is likely to get even hairier to squash core dumps due to
mutating comparisons, and it's hard enough to follow without that.
