The compiler was reseting the list comprehension tmpname counter for each function, but the symtable was using the same counter for the entire module. Repair by move tmpname into the symtable entry.
Bugfix candidate.
[ 708901 ] Lineno calculation sometimes broken
A one line patch to compile.c and a rather-more-than-one-line patch
to test_dis. Hey ho.
Possibly a backport candidate -- tho' lnotab is less used in 2.2...
* Can now test for basic blocks.
* Optimize inverted comparisions.
* Optimize unary_not followed by a conditional jump.
* Added a new opcode, NOP, to keep code size constant.
* Applied NOP to previous transformations where appropriate.
Note, the NOP would not be necessary if other functions were
added to re-target jump addresses and update the co_lnotab mapping.
That would yield slightly faster and cleaner bytecode at the
expense of optimizer simplicity and of keeping it decoupled
from the line-numbering structure.
Adds a single function to improve generated bytecode. Has a single line
attachment point, so it is completely de-coupled from both the compiler
and ceval.c.
Makes three simple transforms that do not require a basic block analysis
or re-ordering of code. Gives improved timings on pystone, pybench,
and any code using either "while 1" or "x,y=y,x".
"Unsigned" (i.e., positive-looking, but really negative) hex/oct
constants with a leading minus sign are once again properly negated.
The micro-optimization for negated numeric constants did the wrong
thing for such hex/oct constants. The patch avoids the optimization
for all hex/oct constants.
This needs to be backported to Python 2.2!
-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.
A variety of changes from Michael Hudson to get the compiler working
with 2.3. The primary change is the handling of SET_LINENO:
# The set_lineno() function and the explicit emit() calls for
# SET_LINENO below are only used to generate the line number table.
# As of Python 2.3, the interpreter does not have a SET_LINENO
# instruction. pyassem treats SET_LINENO opcodes as a special case.
A few other small changes:
- Remove unused code from pycodegen and pyassem.
- Fix error handling in parsermodule. When PyParser_SimplerParseString()
fails, it sets an exception with detailed info. The parsermodule
was clobbering that exception and replacing it was a generic
"could not parse string" exception. Keep the original exception.

* Python/compile.c
(com_dictmaker): Reordered evaluation of dictionaries to follow strict
LTR evaluation.
* Lib/compiler/pycodegen.py
(CodeGenerator.visitDict): Reordered evaluation of dictionaries to
follow strict LTR evaluation.
* Doc/ref/ref5.tex
Documented the general LTR evaluation order idea.
* Misc/NEWS
Documented change in evaluation order of dictionaries.
Use a slightly different strategy to determine when not to call the line
trace function. This removes the need for the RETURN_NONE opcode, so
that's gone again. Update docs and comments to match.
Thanks to Neal and Armin!
Also add a test suite. This should have come with the original patch...
warning for 'global None', but that's either accompanied by an
assignment to None, which will trigger a warning, or not, in which
case it's harmless. :-)
[ 587993 ] SET_LINENO killer
Remove SET_LINENO. Tracing is now supported by inspecting co_lnotab.
Many sundry changes to document and adapt to this change.
currently return inconsistent results for ints and longs; in
particular: hex/oct/%u/%o/%x/%X of negative short ints, and x<<n that
either loses bits or changes sign. (No warnings for repr() of a long,
though that will also change to lose the trailing 'L' eventually.)
This introduces some warnings in the test suite; I'll take care of
those later.
Change the parser and compiler to use PyMalloc.
Only the files implementing processes that will request memory
allocations small enough for PyMalloc to be a win have been
changed, which are:-
- Python/compile.c
- Parser/acceler.c
- Parser/node.c
- Parser/parsetok.c
This augments the aggressive overallocation strategy implemented by
Tim Peters in PyNode_AddChild() [Parser/node.c], in reducing the
impact of platform malloc()/realloc()/free() corner case behaviour.
Such corner cases are known to be triggered by test_longexp and
test_import.
Jeremy Hylton, in accepting this patch, recommended this as a
bugfix candidate for 2.2. While the changes to Python/compile.c
and Parser/node.c backport easily (and could go in), the changes
to Parser/acceler.c and Parser/parsetok.c require other not
insignificant changes as a result of the differences in the memory
APIs between 2.3 and 2.2, which I'm not in a position to work
through at the moment. This is a pity, as the Parser/parsetok.c
changes are the most important after the Parser/node.c changes, due
to the size of the memory requests involved and their frequency.
is slow things down unnecessarily and make tracing much more verbose.
Something like
def f(n):
return [i for i in range(n) if i%2]
should have at most two SET_LINENO instructions, not four. When tracing,
the current line number should be printed once, not 2*n+1 times.
These built-in functions are replaced by their (now callable) type:
slice()
buffer()
and these types can also be called (but have no built-in named
function named after them)
classobj (type name used to be "class")
code
function
instance
instancemethod (type name used to be "instance method")
The module "new" has been replaced with a small backward compatibility
placeholder in Python.
A large portion of the patch simply removes the new module from
various platform-specific build recipes. The following binary Mac
project files still have references to it:
Mac/Build/PythonCore.mcp
Mac/Build/PythonStandSmall.mcp
Mac/Build/PythonStandalone.mcp
[I've tweaked the code layout and the doc strings here and there, and
added a comment to types.py about StringTypes vs. basestring. --Guido]
The old syntax suggested that a trailing comma was OK inside backticks,
but in fact (due to ideosyncrasies of pgen) it was not. Fix the grammar
to avoid the ambiguity. Fred: you may want to update the refman.
+ Redirect PyMem_{Del, DEL} to the object allocator's free() when
pymalloc is enabled. Needed so old extensions can continue to
mix PyObject_New with PyMem_DEL.
+ This implies that pgen needs to be able to see the PyObject_XYZ
declarations too. pgenheaders.h now includes Python.h. An
implication is that I expect obmalloc.o needs to get linked into
pgen on non-Windows boxes.
+ When PYMALLOC_DEBUG is defined, *all* Py memory API functions
now funnel through the debug allocator wrapper around pymalloc.
This is the default in a debug build.
+ That caused compile.c to fail: it indirectly mixed PyMem_Malloc
with raw platform free() in one place. This is verbotten.
