new exception with setting current exception as __cause__.
_PyErr_FormatFromCause(exception, format, args...) is equivalent to Python
raise exception(format % args) from sys.exc_info()[1]
Issue #28127: Add a function to check that a dictionary remains consistent
after any change.
By default, tables are not checked, only basic attributes. Define DEBUG_PYDICT
(ex: gcc -D DEBUG_PYDICT) to also check dictionary "content".
* BUILD_TUPLE_UNPACK and BUILD_MAP_UNPACK_WITH_CALL no longer generated with
single tuple or dict.
* Restored more informative error messages for incorrect var-positional and
var-keyword arguments.
* Removed code duplications in _PyEval_EvalCodeWithName().
* Removed redundant runtime checks and parameters in _PyStack_AsDict().
* Added a workaround and enabled previously disabled test in test_traceback.
* Removed dead code from the dis module.
Issue #27810:
* Modify vgetargskeywordsfast() to work on a C array of PyObject* rather than
working on a tuple directly.
* Add _PyArg_ParseStack()
* Argument Clinic now emits code using the new METH_FASTCALL calling convention
Issue #27810: Add a new calling convention for C functions:
PyObject* func(PyObject *self, PyObject **args,
Py_ssize_t nargs, PyObject *kwnames);
Where args is a C array of positional arguments followed by values of keyword
arguments. nargs is the number of positional arguments, kwnames are keys of
keyword arguments. kwnames can be NULL.
Tested on macOS 10.11 dtrace, Ubuntu 16.04 SystemTap, and libbcc.
Largely based by an initial patch by Jesús Cea Avión, with some
influence from Dave Malcolm's SystemTap patch and Nikhil Benesch's
unification patch.
Things deliberately left out for simplicity:
- ustack helpers, I have no way of testing them at this point since
they are Solaris-specific
- PyFrameObject * in function__entry/function__return, this is
SystemTap-specific
- SPARC support
- dynamic tracing
- sys module dtrace facility introspection
All of those might be added later.
Issue #27830: Add _PyObject_FastCallKeywords(): avoid the creation of a
temporary dictionary for keyword arguments.
Other changes:
* Cleanup call_function() and fast_function() (ex: rename nk to nkwargs)
* Remove now useless do_call(), replaced with _PyObject_FastCallKeywords()
Issue #27213: Rework CALL_FUNCTION* opcodes to produce shorter and more
efficient bytecode:
* CALL_FUNCTION now only accepts position arguments
* CALL_FUNCTION_KW accepts position arguments and keyword arguments, but keys
of keyword arguments are packed into a constant tuple.
* CALL_FUNCTION_EX is the most generic, it expects a tuple and a dict for
positional and keyword arguments.
CALL_FUNCTION_VAR and CALL_FUNCTION_VAR_KW opcodes have been removed.
2 tests of test_traceback are currently broken: skip test, the issue #28050 was
created to track the issue.
Patch by Demur Rumed, design by Serhiy Storchaka, reviewed by Serhiy Storchaka
and Victor Stinner.
Issue #26058: Add a new private version to the builtin dict type, incremented
at each dictionary creation and at each dictionary change.
Implementation of the PEP 509.
