Change several sections to subsections (part of the manual -> howto
transformation).
Flesh out discussion of assignment nodes (and delete statements).
Add an example of manipulating AST objects at a >>> prompt
Remove the module index; there aren't enough modules documented yet
for this to make sense.
Add a couple more index entries, fixed a few typos, and adjusted a few
more things for consistency.
Armin Rigo pointed out that the way the line-# table got built didn't work
for lines generating more than 255 bytes of bytecode. Fixed as he
suggested, plus corresponding changes to pyassem.py, plus added some
long overdue docs about this subtle table to compile.c.
Bugfix candidate (line numbers may be off in tracebacks under -O).
Always emit a SET_LINENO 0 at the beginning of the module. The
builtin compiler does this, and it's much easier to compare bytecode
generated by the two compilers if they both do.
Move the SET_LINENO inside the FOR_LOOP block for list
comprehensions. Also for compat. with builtin compiler.
Fix annoying bugs in flow graph layout code. In some cases the
implicit control transfers weren't honored. In other cases,
JUMP_FORWARD instructions jumped backwards.
Remove unused arg from nextBlock().
pycodegen.py
Add optional force kwarg to set_lineno() that will emit a
SET_LINENO even if it is the same as the previous lineno.
Use explicit LOAD_FAST and STORE_FAST to access list comp implicit
variables. (The symbol table doesn't know about them.)
Add mangling support
Add get_children() and add_child() methods to Scope
Skip nodes when If test is a false constant
Add test code that checks results against symtable module
Fix com_NEWLINE() so that is accepts arguments, which occurs for lines like:
stmt; # note trailing semicolon
Add XXX about checking for assignment to list comps
embedded code objects (e.g. functions) rather than the generated code
object. This change means that the compiler generates code for
everything at the end, rather then generating code for each function
as it finds it. Implementation note: _convert_LOAD_CONST in
pyassem.py must be change to call getCode().
Other changes follow. Several changes creates extra edges between
basic blocks to reflect control flow for loops and exceptions. These
missing edges had gone unnoticed because they do not affect the
current compilation process.
pyassem.py:
Add _enable_debug() and _disable_debug() methods that print
instructions and blocks to stdout as they are generated.
Add edges between blocks for instructions like SETUP_LOOP,
FOR_LOOP, etc.
Add pruneNext to get rid of bogus edges remaining after
unconditional transfer ops (e.g. JUMP_FORWARD)
Change repr of Block to omit block length.
pycodegen.py:
Make sure a new block is started after FOR_LOOP, etc.
Change assert implementation to use RAISE_VARARGS 1 when there is
no user-specified failure output.
misc.py:
Implement __contains__ and copy for Set.
Reformatting -- long lines, "[ ]" -> "[]", a few indentation nits.
Replace calls to Node function (which constructed ast nodes) with
calls to actual constructors imported from ast module.
Optimize com_node (most frequently used method) for the common case --
the appropriate method is found in _dispatch.
Fix com_augassign to use class object's rather than node names
(rendered invalid by recent changes to ast)
Remove expensive tests for sequence-ness in com_stmt and
com_append_stmt. These tests should never fail; if they do, something
is really broken and exception will be raised elsewhere.
Fix com_stmt and com_append_stmt to use isinstance rather than
testing's type slot of ast node (this slot disappeared with recent
changes to ast).
1.5.2. The compiler generates code for the version of the interpreter
it is run under.
ast.py:
Print and Printnl add dest attr for extended print
new node AugAssign for augmented assignments
new nodes ListComp, ListCompFor, and ListCompIf for list
comprehensions
pyassem.py:
add work around for string-Unicode comparison raising UnicodeError
on comparison of two objects in code object's const table
pycodegen.py:
define VERSION, the Python major version number
get magic number using imp.get_magic() instead of hard coding
implement list comprehensions, extended print, and augmented
assignment; augmented assignment uses Delegator classes (see
doc string)
fix import and tuple unpacking for 1.5.2
transformer.py:
various changes to support new 2.0 grammar and old 1.5 grammar
add debug_tree helper than converts and symbol and token numbers
to their names
Fix import support to work with import as variant of Python 2.0. The
grammar for import changed, requiring changes in transformer and code
generator, even to handle compilation of imports with as.
- fix tab space issues (SF patch #101167 by Neil Schemenauer)
- fix co_flags for classes to include CO_NEWLOCALS (SF patch #101145 by Neil)
- fix for merger of UNPACK_LIST and UNPACK_TUPLE into UNPACK_SEQUENCE,
(SF patch #101168 by, well, Neil :)
- Adjust bytecode MAGIC to current bytecode.
TODO: teach compile.py about list comprehensions.
Attached is a set of diffs for the .py compiler that adds support
for the new extended call syntax.
compiler/ast.py:
CallFunc node gets 2 new children to support extended call syntax -
"star_args" (for "*args") and "dstar_args" (for "**args")
compiler/pyassem.py
It appear that self.lnotab is supposed to be responsible for
tracking line numbers, but self.firstlineno was still hanging
around. Removed self.firstlineno completely. NOTE - I didnt
actually test that the generated code has the correct line numbers!!
Stack depth tracking appeared a little broken - the checks never
made it beyond the "self.patterns" check - thus, the custom methods
were never called! Fixed this.
(XXX Jeremy notes: I think this code is still broken because it
doesn't track stack effects across block bounaries.)
Added support for the new extended call syntax opcodes for depth
calculations.
compiler/pycodegen.py
Added support for the new extended call syntax opcodes.
compiler/transformer.py
Added support for the new extended call syntax.
code generator uses flowgraph as intermediate representation. the old
rep uses a list with explicit "StackRefs" to indicate the target
of jumps.
pyassem converts flowgraph to bytecode, breaks up individual steps of
generating bytecode
fix imports
remove parse functions and visitor code
track name change: Classdef to Class
add some comments and tweak order of visitXXX methods
get rid of if __name__ == "__main__ section
- removed now (happily) unused second arg
- need to verify results of [].index are correct; for building consts,
need to have same value and same type, e.g. 2 not the same as 2L
(big surprise). new solution is a little less hackish.
Code gen adds a TupleArg instance in the argument slot. The tuple arg
includes a copy of the names that it is responsble for binding. The
PyAssembler uses this information to calculate the correct argcount.
all fix this wacky case: del (a, ((b,), c)), d
which is the same as: del a, b, c, d
(Can't wait for Guido to tell me why.)
solution uses findOp which walks a tree to find out whether it
contains OP_ASSIGN or OP_DELETE or ...
- added a number of support methods to generate code just before the
body
- hack protocol for communicating number of args to PyAssembler
fix TryExcept generation for case where exception handler has no body
fix visitAssAttr
add comment about incomplete visitAssName
stop using the ExampleASTVisitor
change script invocation to accept a list of .py files (e.g. Lib/*.py)
named OPTIMIZED, which matches compile.c and makes more sense for
classes
revamp call signature for PythonVMCode.__init__; doesn't really matter
'cuz this code is going to be refactored out of existence
add generateClassCode and modify Func & Lambda generation
add support for nodes Classdef, Keyword,
fix CallFunc to generate right op arg when calling w/ keywords
add ugly hack to properly compute offsets when the same stack ref is
used multiple times
