This makes the Tier 2 interpreter a little faster.
I calculated by about 3%,
though I hesitate to claim an exact number.
This starts by doubling the trace size limit (to 512),
making it more likely that loops fit in a trace.
The rest of the approach is to only load
`oparg` and `operand` in cases that use them.
The code generator know when these are used.
For `oparg`, it will conditionally emit
```
oparg = CURRENT_OPARG();
```
at the top of the case block.
(The `oparg` variable may be referenced multiple times
by the instructions code block, so it must be in a variable.)
For `operand`, it will use `CURRENT_OPERAND()` directly
instead of referencing the `operand` variable,
which no longer exists.
(There is only one place where this will be used.)
This uses the new mechanism whereby certain uops
are replaced by others during translation,
using the `_PyUop_Replacements` table.
We further special-case the `_FOR_ITER_TIER_TWO` uop
to update the deoptimization target to point
just past the corresponding `END_FOR` opcode.
Two tiny code cleanups are also part of this PR.
- There is no longer a separate Python/executor.c file.
- Conventions in Python/bytecodes.c are slightly different -- don't use `goto error`,
you must use `GOTO_ERROR(error)` (same for others like `unused_local_error`).
- The `TIER_ONE` and `TIER_TWO` symbols are only valid in the generated (.c.h) files.
- In Lib/test/support/__init__.py, `Py_C_RECURSION_LIMIT` is imported from `_testcapi`.
- On Windows, in debug mode, stack allocation grows from 8MiB to 12MiB.
- **Beware!** This changes the env vars to enable uops and their debugging
to `PYTHON_UOPS` and `PYTHON_LLTRACE`.
In Python/bytecodes.c, you now write
```
DEOPT_IF(condition);
```
The code generator expands this to
```
DEOPT_IF(condition, opcode);
```
where `opcode` is the name of the unspecialized instruction.
This works inside macro expansions too.
**CAVEAT:** The entire `DEOPT_IF(condition)` statement must be on a single line.
If it isn't, the substitution will fail; an error will be printed by the code generator
and the C compiler will report some errors.
These are the most popular specializations of `LOAD_ATTR` and `STORE_ATTR`
that weren't already viable uops:
* Split LOAD_ATTR_METHOD_WITH_VALUES
* Split LOAD_ATTR_METHOD_NO_DICT
* Split LOAD_ATTR_SLOT
* Split STORE_ATTR_SLOT
* Split STORE_ATTR_INSTANCE_VALUE
Also:
* Add `-v` flag to code generator which prints a list of non-viable uops
(easter-egg: it can print execution counts -- see source)
* Double _Py_UOP_MAX_TRACE_LENGTH to 128
I had dropped one of the DEOPT_IF() calls! :-(
* Rename SAVE_IP to _SET_IP
* Rename EXIT_TRACE to _EXIT_TRACE
* Rename SAVE_CURRENT_IP to _SAVE_CURRENT_IP
* Rename INSERT to _INSERT (This is for Ken Jin's abstract interpreter)
* Rename IS_NONE to _IS_NONE
* Rename JUMP_TO_TOP to _JUMP_TO_TOP
