Constant expression like "2 ** 3" will now be folded, and the special form
"X = const(2 ** 3)" will now compile because the argument to the const is
now a constant.
Fixes issue #5865.
Note: the uncrustify configuration is explicitly set to 'add' instead of
'force' in order not to alter the comments which use extra spaces after //
as a means of indenting text for clarity.
In this part of the code there is no way to get the ** operator, so no need
to check for it.
This commit also adds tests for this, and other related, invalid const
operations.
This string is recognised by uncrustify, to disable formatting in the
region marked by these comments. This is necessary in the qstrdef*.h files
to prevent modification of the strings within the Q(...). In other places
it is used to prevent excessive reformatting that would make the code less
readable.
To make progress towards MicroPython supporting Python 3.5, adding the
matmul operator is important because it's a really "low level" part of the
language, being a new token and modifications to the grammar.
It doesn't make sense to make it configurable because 1) it would make the
grammar and lexer complicated/messy; 2) no other operators are
configurable; 3) it's not a feature that can be "dynamically plugged in"
via an import.
And matmul can be useful as a general purpose user-defined operator, it
doesn't have to be just for numpy use.
Based on work done by Jim Mussared.
These macros could in principle be (inline) functions so it makes sense to
have them lower case, to match the other C API functions.
The remaining macros that are upper case are:
- MP_OBJ_TO_PTR, MP_OBJ_FROM_PTR
- MP_OBJ_NEW_SMALL_INT, MP_OBJ_SMALL_INT_VALUE
- MP_OBJ_NEW_QSTR, MP_OBJ_QSTR_VALUE
- MP_OBJ_FUN_MAKE_SIG
- MP_DECLARE_CONST_xxx
- MP_DEFINE_CONST_xxx
These must remain macros because they are used when defining const data (at
least, MP_OBJ_NEW_SMALL_INT is so it makes sense to have
MP_OBJ_SMALL_INT_VALUE also a macro).
For those macros that have been made lower case, compatibility macros are
provided for the old names so that users do not need to change their code
immediately.
Empty __VA_ARGS__ are not allowed in the C preprocessor so adjust the rule
arg offset calculation to not use them. Also, some compilers (eg MSVC)
require an extra layer of macro expansion.
This is the sixth and final patch in a series of patches to the parser that
aims to reduce code size by compressing the data corresponding to the rules
of the grammar.
Prior to this set of patches the rules were stored as rule_t structs with
rule_id, act and arg members. And then there was a big table of pointers
which allowed to lookup the address of a rule_t struct given the id of that
rule.
The changes that have been made are:
- Breaking up of the rule_t struct into individual components, with each
component in a separate array.
- Removal of the rule_id part of the struct because it's not needed.
- Put all the rule arg data in a big array.
- Change the table of pointers to rules to a table of offsets within the
array of rule arg data.
The last point is what is done in this patch here and brings about the
biggest decreases in code size, because an array of pointers is now an
array of bytes.
Code size changes for the six patches combined is:
bare-arm: -644
minimal x86: -1856
unix x64: -5408
unix nanbox: -2080
stm32: -720
esp8266: -812
cc3200: -712
For the change in parser performance: it was measured on pyboard that these
six patches combined gave an increase in script parse time of about 0.4%.
This is due to the slightly more complicated way of looking up the data for
a rule (since the 9th bit of the offset into the rule arg data table is
calculated with an if statement). This is an acceptable increase in parse
time considering that parsing is only done once per script (if compiled on
the target).
Instead of each rule being stored in ROM as a struct with rule_id, act and
arg, the act and arg parts are now in separate arrays and the rule_id part
is removed because it's not needed. This reduces code size, by roughly one
byte per grammar rule, around 150 bytes.
The rule name is only used for debugging, and this patch makes things a bit
cleaner by completely separating out the rule name from the rest of the
rule data.
The nan-boxing representation has an extra 16-bits of space to store
small-int values, and making use of it allows to create and manipulate full
32-bit positive integers (ie up to 0xffffffff) without using the heap.
