* Merge gen and frame state variables into one.
* Replace stack pointer with depth in PyFrameObject. Makes code easier to read and saves a word of memory.
In debug mode, ensure that free lists are no longer used after being
finalized. Set numfree to -1 in finalization functions
(eg. _PyList_Fini()), and then check that numfree is not equal to -1
before using a free list (e.g list_dealloc()).
Each interpreter now has its own frame free list:
* Move frame free list into PyInterpreterState.
* Add _Py_frame_state structure.
* Add tstate parameter to _PyFrame_ClearFreeList()
and _PyFrame_Fini().
* Remove "#if PyFrame_MAXFREELIST > 0".
* Remove "#ifdef EXPERIMENTAL_ISOLATED_SUBINTERPRETERS".
When Python is built with experimental isolated interpreters, disable
tuple, dict and free free lists.
Temporary workaround until these caches are made per-interpreter.
Add frame_alloc() and frame_get_builtins() subfunctions to simplify
_PyFrame_New_NoTrack().
New PyFrame_GetBack() function: get the frame next outer frame.
Replace frame->f_back with PyFrame_GetBack(frame) in most code but
frameobject.c, ceval.c and genobject.c.
Remove the following function from the C API:
* PyAsyncGen_ClearFreeLists()
* PyContext_ClearFreeList()
* PyDict_ClearFreeList()
* PyFloat_ClearFreeList()
* PyFrame_ClearFreeList()
* PyList_ClearFreeList()
* PySet_ClearFreeList()
* PyTuple_ClearFreeList()
Make these functions private, move them to the internal C API and
change their return type to void.
Call explicitly PyGC_Collect() to free all free lists.
Note: PySet_ClearFreeList() did nothing.
PyFrame_GetCode(frame): return a borrowed reference to the frame
code.
Replace frame->f_code with PyFrame_GetCode(frame) in most code,
except in frameobject.c, genobject.c and ceval.c.
Also add PyFrame_GetLineNumber() to the limited C API.
Add a new separated pyframe.h header file of the PyFrame public C
API: it is included by Python.h.
Add PyFrame_GetLineNumber() to the limited C API.
Replace "struct _frame" with "PyFrameObject" in header files.
PyFrameObject is now defined as struct _frame by pyframe.h which is
included early enough in Python.h.
Replace int with intptr_t to fix the warning:
objects\frameobject.c(341): warning C4244: 'initializing':
conversion from '__int64' to 'int', possible loss of data
Remove BEGIN_FINALLY, END_FINALLY, CALL_FINALLY and POP_FINALLY bytecodes. Implement finally blocks by code duplication.
Reimplement frame.lineno setter using line numbers rather than bytecode offsets.
METH_NOARGS functions need only a single argument but they are cast
into a PyCFunction, which takes two arguments. This triggers an
invalid function cast warning in gcc8 due to the argument mismatch.
Fix this by adding a dummy unused argument.
* Added new opcode END_ASYNC_FOR.
* Setting global StopAsyncIteration no longer breaks "async for" loops.
* Jumping into an "async for" loop is now disabled.
* Jumping out of an "async for" loop no longer corrupts the stack.
* Simplify the compiler.
* group the (stateful) runtime globals into various topical structs
* consolidate the topical structs under a single top-level _PyRuntimeState struct
* add a check-c-globals.py script that helps identify runtime globals
Other globals are excluded (see globals.txt and check-c-globals.py).
f_trace_lines: enable/disable line trace events
f_trace_opcodes: enable/disable opcode trace events
These are intended primarily for testing of the interpreter
itself, as they make it much easier to emulate signals
arriving at unfortunate times.
When Python is not compiled with PGO, the performance of Python on call_simple
and call_method microbenchmarks depend highly on the code placement. In the
worst case, the performance slowdown can be up to 70%.
The GCC __attribute__((hot)) attribute helps to keep hot code close to reduce
the risk of such major slowdown. This attribute is ignored when Python is
compiled with PGO.
The following functions are considered as hot according to statistics collected
by perf record/perf report:
* _PyEval_EvalFrameDefault()
* call_function()
* _PyFunction_FastCall()
* PyFrame_New()
* frame_dealloc()
* PyErr_Occurred()
