* Add new capability to the PEG parser to type variable assignments. For instance:
```
| a[asdl_stmt_seq*]=';'.small_stmt+ [';'] NEWLINE { a }
```
* Add new sequence types from the asdl definition (automatically generated)
* Make `asdl_seq` type a generic aliasing pointer type.
* Create a new `asdl_generic_seq` for the generic case using `void*`.
* The old `asdl_seq_GET`/`ast_seq_SET` macros now are typed.
* New `asdl_seq_GET_UNTYPED`/`ast_seq_SET_UNTYPED` macros for dealing with generic sequences.
* Changes all possible `asdl_seq` types to use specific versions everywhere.
When iterating using asdl_seq_LEN(), use 'Py_ssize_t' type instead of
'int' for the iterator variable, to avoid downcast on 64-bit platforms.
_Py_asdl_int_seq_new() now also ensures that the index is greater than
or equal to 0.
Issue #26146: Add a new kind of AST node: ast.Constant. It can be used by
external AST optimizers, but the compiler does not emit directly such node.
An optimizer can replace the following AST nodes with ast.Constant:
* ast.NameConstant: None, False, True
* ast.Num: int, float, complex
* ast.Str: str
* ast.Bytes: bytes
* ast.Tuple if items are constants too: tuple
* frozenset
Update code to accept ast.Constant instead of ast.Num and/or ast.Str:
* compiler
* docstrings
* ast.literal_eval()
* Tools/parser/unparse.py
number of tests, all because of the codecs/_multibytecodecs issue described
here (it's not a Py3K issue, just something Py3K discovers):
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2006-April/064051.html
Hye-Shik Chang promised to look for a fix, so no need to fix it here. The
tests that are expected to break are:
test_codecencodings_cn
test_codecencodings_hk
test_codecencodings_jp
test_codecencodings_kr
test_codecencodings_tw
test_codecs
test_multibytecodec
This merge fixes an actual test failure (test_weakref) in this branch,
though, so I believe merging is the right thing to do anyway.
This change implements a new bytecode compiler, based on a
transformation of the parse tree to an abstract syntax defined in
Parser/Python.asdl.
The compiler implementation is not complete, but it is in stable
enough shape to run the entire test suite excepting two disabled
tests.
