Antoine Pitrou c83ea137d7 Untabify C files. Will watch buildbots. 2010-05-09 14:46:46 +00:00
Antoine Pitrou 76c8649038 Issue #8276: PyEval_CallObject() is now only available in macro form. The
function declaration, which was kept for backwards compatibility reasons,
is now removed (the macro was introduced in 1997!).

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 *.

Phillip J. Eby 0d6615fd29 PEP 342 implementation. Per Guido's comments, the generator throw()
method still needs to support string exceptions, and allow None for the
third argument.  Documentation updates are needed, too.

Michael W. Hudson 2aec8b744e As far as I can tell PyEval_GetOwner was removed in 1997 (when it was
called something else!).  I can't imagine removing the prototype is
going to hurt, but put it back if *you* can.

Guido van Rossum 6297a7a9fb - PyEval_GetFrame() is now declared to return a PyFrameObject *

Jeremy Hylton 985eba53f5 Small function call optimization and special build option for call stats.
-DCALL_PROFILE: Count the number of function calls executed.

When this symbol is defined, the ceval mainloop and helper functions
count the number of function calls made.  It keeps detailed statistics
about what kind of object was called and whether the call hit any of
the special fast paths in the code.

Optimization:

When we take the fast_function() path, which seems to be taken for
most function calls, and there is minimal frame setup to do, avoid
call PyEval_EvalCodeEx().  The eval code ex function does a lot of
work to handle keywords args and star args, free variables,
generators, etc.  The inlined version simply allocates the frame and
copies the arguments values into the frame.

The optimization gets a little help from compile.c which adds a
CO_NOFREE flag to code objects that don't have free variables or cell
variables.  This change allows fast_function() to get into the fast
path with fewer tests.

I measure a couple of percent speedup in pystone with this change, but
there's surely more that can be done.

Skip Montanaro d581d7792b replace thread state objects' ticker and checkinterval fields with two
globals, _Py_Ticker and _Py_CheckInterval.  This also implements Jeremy's
shortcut in Py_AddPendingCall that zeroes out _Py_Ticker.  This allows the
test in the main loop to only test a single value.

The gory details are at

Tim Peters 6d6c1a35e0 Merge of descr-branch back into trunk. 2001-08-02 04:15:00 +00:00
Tim Peters 5ba5866281 Part way to allowing "from __future__ import generators" to communicate
that info to code dynamically compiled *by* code compiled with generators
enabled.  Doesn't yet work because there's still no way to tell the parser
that "yield" is OK (unlike nested_scopes, the parser has its fingers in
this too).
Replaced PyEval_GetNestedScopes by a more-general
PyEval_MergeCompilerFlags.  Perhaps I should not have?  I doubted it was
*intended* to be part of the public API, so just did.

Fred Drake 55fb6e0371 Revise the interface to the profiling and tracing support for the
Python interpreter.

This change adds two new C-level APIs:  PyEval_SetProfile() and
PyEval_SetTrace().  These can be used to install profile and trace
functions implemented in C, which can operate at much higher speeds
than Python-based functions.  The overhead for calling a C-based
profile function is a very small fraction of a percent of the overhead
involved in calling a Python-based function.

The machinery required to call a Python-based profile or trace
function been moved to sysmodule.c, where sys.setprofile() and
sys.setprofile() simply become users of the new interface.

Jeremy Hylton 061d106a0f If a code object is compiled with nested scopes, define the CO_NESTED flag.
Add PyEval_GetNestedScopes() which returns a non-zero value if the
code for the current interpreter frame has CO_NESTED defined.

Tim Peters 51de6906be Supply missing prototypes for new Py_{Get,Set}RecursionLimit; fixes compiler wngs;

Guido van Rossum 29e46a9a12 Mass checkin (more to follow for other directories).
Introduce truly separate (sub)interpreter objects.  For now, these
must be used by separate threads, created from C.  See Demo/pysvr for
an example of how to use this.  This also rationalizes Python's
initialization and finalization behavior:

Py_Initialize() -- initialize the whole interpreter
Py_Finalize() -- finalize the whole interpreter

tstate = Py_NewInterpreter() -- create a new (sub)interpreter
Py_EndInterpreter(tstate) -- delete a new (sub)interpreter

There are also new interfaces relating to threads and the interpreter
lock, which can be used to create new threads, and sometimes have to
be used to manipulate the interpreter lock when creating or deleting
sub-interpreters.  These are only defined when WITH_THREAD is defined:

PyEval_AcquireLock() -- acquire the interpreter lock
PyEval_ReleaseLock() -- release the interpreter lock

PyEval_AcquireThread(tstate) -- acquire the lock and make the thread current
PyEval_ReleaseThread(tstate) -- release the lock and make NULL current

Other administrative changes:

- The header file bltinmodule.h is deleted.

- The init functions for Import, Sys and Builtin are now internal and
  declared in pythonrun.h.

- Py_Setup() and Py_Cleanup() are no longer declared.

- The interpreter state and thread state structures are now linked
  together in a chain (the chain of interpreters is a static variable
  in pythonrun.c).

- Some members of the interpreter and thread structures have new,
  shorter, more consistent, names.

- Added declarations for _PyImport_{Find,Fixup}Extension() to import.h.

Guido van Rossum a847889607 Moved PyEval_InitThreads to inside WITH_THREAD, where it belongs. 1997-07-19 19:27:30 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 2fca21f762 PyEval_SaveThread() and PyEval_RestoreThread() now return/take a
PyThreadState pointer instead of a (frame) PyObject pointer.  This
makes much more sense.  It is backward incompatible, but that's no
problem, because (a) the heaviest users are the Py_{BEGIN,END}_
ALLOW_THREADS macros here, which have been fixed too; (b) there are
very few direct users; (c) those who use it are there will probably
appreciate the change.

Also, added new functions PyEval_AcquireThread() and
PyEval_ReleaseThread() which allows the threads created by the thread
module as well threads created by others (!) to set/reset the current
thread, and at the same time acquire/release the interpreter lock.

Much saner.

Guido van Rossum caa6380886 The great renaming, phase two: all header files have been updated to
use the new names exclusively, and the linker will see the new names.
Files that import "Python.h" also only see the new names.  Files that
import "allobjects.h" will continue to be able to use the old names,
due to the inclusion (in allobjects.h) of "rename2.h".

1993-11-01 16:28:59 +00:00
Guido van Rossum a3309960a5 * Added support for X11 modules.
* Makefile: change location of FORMS library.
* posixmodule.c: turn #if 0 into #ifdef MSDOS (stuff in unistd.h or not)
* Almost all .h files: added CPP magic to avoid duplicate inclusions and
  to support inclusion from C++.

Guido van Rossum eb6b33a837 * classobject.c: in instance_getattr, don't make a method out of a
function found as instance data.
* socketmodule.c: added 'flags' argument sendto/recvfrom, rewrite
  argument parsing in send/recv.
* More changes related to access (terminology change: owner instead of
  class; allow any object as owner; local/global variables are owned
  by their dictionary, only class/instance data is owned by the class;
  "from...import *" now only imports objects with public access; etc.)
1993-05-25 09:38:27 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 81daa32c15 Access checks now work, at least for instance data (not for methods
yet).  The class is now passed to eval_code and stored in the current
frame.  It is also stored in instance method objects.  An "unbound"
instance method is now returned when a function is retrieved through
"classname.funcname", which when called passes the class to eval_code.
1993-05-20 14:24:46 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 8b17d6bd89 Changes to speed up local variables enormously, by avoiding dictionary
lookup (opcode.h, ceval.[ch], compile.c, frameobject.[ch],
pythonrun.c, import.c).  The .pyc MAGIC number is changed again.
Added get_menu_text to flmodule.
