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.
SF bug #522264 reported by Evelyn Mitchell.
The code included a comment about "STAR STAR" which was translated
into the code as the bogus attribute token.STARSTAR. This name never
caused an attribute error because it was never retrieved. The code
was based on an old version of the grammar that specified kwargs as
two tokens ('*' '*'). I checked as far back as 2.1 and didn't find
this production.
The fix is simple, because token.DOUBLESTAR is the only token
allowed. Also update the grammar fragment in com_arglist().
XXX I'll bet lots of other grammar fragments in comments are out of
date, probably in this module and in compile.c.
compile() becomes replacement for builtin compile()
compileFile() generates a .pyc from a .py
both are exported in __init__
compiler.parse() gets optional second argument to specify compilation
mode, e.g. single, eval, exec
Add AbstractCompileMode as parent class and Module, Expression, and
Interactive as concrete subclasses. Each corresponds to a compilation
mode.
THe AbstractCompileMode instances in turn delegate to CodeGeneration
subclasses specialized for their particular functions --
ModuleCodeGenerator, ExpressionCodeGeneration,
InteractiveCodeGenerator.
Remove the only test in the syntax module. It ends up that the
transformer must handle this error case.
In the transformer, check for a list compression in com_assign_list()
by looking for a list_for node where a comma is expected.
In pycodegen.compile() re-raise the SyntaxError rather than catching
it and exiting
Avoid if/elif/elif/else tests where the final else is supposed to
handle exactly one case instead of all other cases. When the list of
operators is extended, the catchall else treats all new operators as
the last operator in the set of tests. Instead, raise an exception if
an unexpected operator occurs.
The use of com_node() introduces a lot of extra stack frames, enough
to cause a stack overflow compiling test.test_parser with the standard
interpreter recursionlimit. The com_node() is a convenience function
that hides the dispatch details, but comes at a very high cost. It is
more efficient to dispatch directly in the callers. In these cases,
use lookup_node() and call the dispatched node directly.
Also handle yield_stmt in a way that will work with Python 2.1
(suggested by Shane Hathaway)
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
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.
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.
