2024-03-07all: Remove the "STATIC" macro and just use "static" instead.Angus Gratton
The STATIC macro was introduced a very long time ago in commit d5df6cd44a433d6253a61cb0f987835fbc06b2de. The original reason for this was to have the option to define it to nothing so that all static functions become global functions and therefore visible to certain debug tools, so one could do function size comparison and other things. This STATIC feature is rarely (if ever) used. And with the use of LTO and heavy inline optimisation, analysing the size of individual functions when they are not static is not a good representation of the size of code when fully optimised. So the macro does not have much use and it's simpler to just remove it. Then you know exactly what it's doing. For example, newcomers don't have to learn what the STATIC macro is and why it exists. Reading the code is also less "loud" with a lowercase static. One other minor point in favour of removing it, is that it stops bugs with `STATIC inline`, which should always be `static inline`. Methodology for this commit was: 1) git ls-files | egrep '\.[ch]$' | \ xargs sed -Ei "s/(^| )STATIC($| )/\1static\2/" 2) Do some manual cleanup in the diff by searching for the word STATIC in comments and changing those back. 3) "git-grep STATIC docs/", manually fixed those cases. 4) "rg -t python STATIC", manually fixed codegen lines that used STATIC.

2024-02-16py/emitglue: Introduce mp_proto_fun_t as a more general mp_raw_code_t.Damien George
Allows bytecode itself to be used instead of an mp_raw_code_t in the simple and common cases of a bytecode function without any children. This can be used to further reduce frozen code size, and has the potential to optimise other areas like importing. Signed-off-by: Damien George <damien@micropython.org>
2024-01-30py/builtinimport: Simplify calls to stat_path().Matthias Urlichs
stat_path is only called with stringified vstr_t objects. Thus, pulling the stringification into the function replaces three function calls with one, saving a few bytes. Signed-off-by: Matthias Urlichs <matthias@urlichs.de>
2023-10-12py/builtinevex: Handle invalid filenames for execfile.Jim Mussared
If a non-string buffer was passed to execfile, then it would be passed as a non-null-terminated char* to mp_lexer_new_from_file. This changes mp_lexer_new_from_file to take a qstr instead (as in almost all cases a qstr will be created from this input anyway to set the `__file__` attribute on the module). This now makes execfile require a string (not generic buffer) argument, which is probably a good fix to make anyway. Fixes issue #12522. This work was funded through GitHub Sponsors.

2023-07-13py/builtinimport: Fix built-in imports when external import is disabled.Jim Mussared

2023-06-08py/modsys: Allow sys.path to be assigned to.Jim Mussared
Previously sys.path could be modified by append/pop or slice assignment. This allows `sys.path = [...]`, which can be simpler in many cases, but also improves CPython compatibility. It also allows sys.path to be set to a tuple which means that you can clear sys.path (e.g. temporarily) with no allocations. This also makes sys.path (and sys.argv for consistency) able to be disabled via mpconfig. The unix port (and upytesthelper) require them, so they explicitly verify that they're enabled.

2023-06-08py/builtinimport: Remove weak links.Jim Mussared
In order to keep "import umodule" working, the existing mechanism is replaced with a simple fallback to drop the "u". This makes importing of built-ins no longer touch the filesystem, which makes a typical built-in import take ~0.15ms rather than 3-5ms. (Weak links were added in c14a81662c1df812c0c6b4299f97966302f16477) This work was funded through GitHub Sponsors. Signed-off-by: Jim Mussared <jim.mussared@gmail.com>
2023-06-05py/builtinimport: Remove partially-loaded modules from sys.modules.David Grayson
Prior to this commit, importing a module that exists but has a syntax error or some other problem that happens at import time would result in a potentially-incomplete module object getting added to sys.modules. Subsequent imports would use that object, resulting in confusing error messages that hide the root cause of the problem. This commit fixes that issue by removing the failed module from sys.modules using the new NLR callback mechanism. Note that it is still important to add the module to sys.modules while the import is happening so that we can support circular imports just like CPython does. Fixes issue #967.

2023-06-02py: Use nlr jump callbacks to optimise compile/execute functions.Damien George
The changed functions now use less stack, and don't have any issues with local variables needing to be declared volatile. Testing on a PYBv1.0, imports (of .py, .mpy and frozen code) now use 64 less bytes of C stack per import depth. Signed-off-by: Damien George <damien@micropython.org>
2023-06-01py/builtinimport: Allow builtin modules to be packages.Jim Mussared
To use this: - Create a built-in module, and add the module object as a member of the parent module's globals dict. - The submodule can set its `__name__` to either `QSTR_foo_dot_bar` or `QSTR_bar`. The former requires using qstrdefs(port).h to make the qstr. Because `bar` is a member of `foo`'s globals, it is possible to write `import foo` and then immediately use `foo.bar` without importing it explicitly. This means that if `bar` has an `__init__`, it will not be called in this situation, and for that reason, sub-modules should not have `__init__` methods. If this is required, then all initalisation for sub-modules should be done by the top-level module's (i.e. `foo`'s) `__init__` method. This work was funded through GitHub Sponsors.

2023-06-01py/builtinimport: Optimise sub-package loading.Jim Mussared
This makes it so that sub-packages are resolved relative to their parent's `__path__`, rather than re-resolving each parent's filesystem path. The previous behavior was that `import foo.bar` would first re-search `sys.path` for `foo`, then use the resulting path to find `bar`. For already-loaded and u-prefixed modules, because we no longer need to build the path from level to level, we no longer unnecessarily search the filesystem. This should improve startup time. Explicitly makes the resolving process clear: - Loaded modules are returned immediately without touching the filesystem. - Exact-match of builtins are also returned immediately. - Then the filesystem search happens. - If that fails, then the weak-link handling is applied. This maintains the existing behavior: if a user writes `import time` they will get time.py if it exits, otherwise the built-in utime. Whereas `import utime` will always return the built-in. This also fixes a regression from a7fa18c203a241f670f12ab507aa8b349fcd45a1 where we search the filesystem for built-ins. It is now only possible to override u-prefixed builtins. This will remove a lot of filesystem stats at startup, as micropython-specific modules (e.g. `pyb`) will no longer attempt to look at the filesystem. Added several improvements to the comments and some minor renaming and refactoring to make it clearer how the import mechanism works. Overall code size diff is +56 bytes on STM32.

2023-06-01py/builtinimport: Handle empty sys.path correctly.Jim Mussared
If sys.path is enabled, but empty, this will now no longer search the filesystem. Previously an empty sys.path was equivalent to having `sys.path=[""]`. This is a breaking change, but this behavior now matches CPython. This also provides an alternative mechanism to the u-prefix to force an import of a builtin module: ``` import sys _path = sys.path[:] sys.path.clear() import foo # Forces the built-in foo. sys.path.extend(_path) del _path ``` Code size diff is -32 bytes on PYBV11.

2022-12-08py: Pass in address to compiled module instead of returning it.Damien George
This change makes it so the compiler and persistent code loader take a mp_compiled_module_t* as their last argument, instead of returning this struct. This eliminates a duplicate context variable for all callers of these functions (because the context is now stored in the mp_compiled_module_t by the caller), and also eliminates any confusion about which context to use after the mp_compile_to_raw_code or mp_raw_code_load function returns (because there is now only one context, that stored in mp_compiled_module_t.context). Reduces code size by 16 bytes on ARM Cortex-based ports. Signed-off-by: Damien George <damien@micropython.org>
2022-11-08py/builtinimport: Fix crash handling "weak link" module names.Simon Arlott
There are two calls to mp_builtin___import__(): 1. ports/unix/main.c:main_() which provides a str in args[0] 2. py/runtime.c:mp_import_name() which provides a qstr in args[0] The default implementation of mp_builtin___import__() is mp_builtin___import___default() which has a different implementation based on MICROPY_ENABLE_EXTERNAL_IMPORT. If MICROPY_ENABLE_EXTERNAL_IMPORT is disabled then the handling of weak links assumes that args[0] is a `const char *`, when it is either a str or qstr object. Use the existing qstr of the module name instead, and also use a vstr instead of strcpy() to ensure no overflow occurs.
2022-08-23py/builtinimport: Allow overriding of mp_builtin___import__.Laurens Valk
This allows ports to override mp_builtin___import__. This can be useful in MicroPython applications where MICROPY_ENABLE_EXTERNAL_IMPORT has to be disabled due to its impact on build size (2% to 2.5% of the minimal port). By overriding the otherwise very minimal mp_builtin___import__, ports can still allow limited forms of application-specific imports. Signed-off-by: Laurens Valk <laurens@pybricks.com>

2022-02-24py: Rework bytecode and .mpy file format to be mostly static data.Damien George
Background: .mpy files are precompiled .py files, built using mpy-cross, that contain compiled bytecode functions (and can also contain machine code). The benefit of using an .mpy file over a .py file is that they are faster to import and take less memory when importing. They are also smaller on disk. But the real benefit of .mpy files comes when they are frozen into the firmware. This is done by loading the .mpy file during compilation of the firmware and turning it into a set of big C data structures (the job of mpy-tool.py), which are then compiled and downloaded into the ROM of a device. These C data structures can be executed in-place, ie directly from ROM. This makes importing even faster because there is very little to do, and also means such frozen modules take up much less RAM (because their bytecode stays in ROM). The downside of frozen code is that it requires recompiling and reflashing the entire firmware. This can be a big barrier to entry, slows down development time, and makes it harder to do OTA updates of frozen code (because the whole firmware must be updated). This commit attempts to solve this problem by providing a solution that sits between loading .mpy files into RAM and freezing them into the firmware. The .mpy file format has been reworked so that it consists of data and bytecode which is mostly static and ready to run in-place. If these new .mpy files are located in flash/ROM which is memory addressable, the .mpy file can be executed (mostly) in-place. With this approach there is still a small amount of unpacking and linking of the .mpy file that needs to be done when it's imported, but it's still much better than loading an .mpy from disk into RAM (although not as good as freezing .mpy files into the firmware). The main trick to make static .mpy files is to adjust the bytecode so any qstrs that it references now go through a lookup table to convert from local qstr number in the module to global qstr number in the firmware. That means the bytecode does not need linking/rewriting of qstrs when it's loaded. Instead only a small qstr table needs to be built (and put in RAM) at import time. This means the bytecode itself is static/constant and can be used directly if it's in addressable memory. Also the qstr string data in the .mpy file, and some constant object data, can be used directly. Note that the qstr table is global to the module (ie not per function). In more detail, in the VM what used to be (schematically): qst = DECODE_QSTR_VALUE; is now (schematically): idx = DECODE_QSTR_INDEX; qst = qstr_table[idx]; That allows the bytecode to be fixed at compile time and not need relinking/rewriting of the qstr values. Only qstr_table needs to be linked when the .mpy is loaded. Incidentally, this helps to reduce the size of bytecode because what used to be 2-byte qstr values in the bytecode are now (mostly) 1-byte indices. If the module uses the same qstr more than two times then the bytecode is smaller than before. The following changes are measured for this commit compared to the previous (the baseline): - average 7%-9% reduction in size of .mpy files - frozen code size is reduced by about 5%-7% - importing .py files uses about 5% less RAM in total - importing .mpy files uses about 4% less RAM in total - importing .py and .mpy files takes about the same time as before The qstr indirection in the bytecode has only a small impact on VM performance.

2021-12-18py: Only search frozen modules when '.frozen' is found in sys.path.Jim Mussared
This changes makemanifest.py & mpy-tool.py to merge string and mpy names into the same list (now mp_frozen_names).

2019-10-22py: Automatically provide weak links from "foo" to "ufoo" module name.Damien George
This commit implements automatic module weak links for all built-in modules, by searching for "ufoo" in the built-in module list if "foo" cannot be found. This means that all modules named "ufoo" are always available as "foo". Also, a port can no longer add any other weak links, which makes strict the definition of a weak link. It saves some code size (about 100-200 bytes) on ports that previously had lots of weak links. Some changes from the previous behaviour: - It doesn't intern the non-u module names (eg "foo" is not interned), which saves code size, but will mean that "import foo" creates a new qstr (namely "foo") in RAM (unless the importing module is frozen). - help('modules') no longer lists non-u module names, only the u-variants; this reduces duplication in the help listing. Weak links are effectively the same as having a set of symbolic links on the filesystem that is searched last. So an "import foo" will search built-in modules first, then all paths in sys.path, then weak links last, importing "ufoo" if it exists. Thus a file called "foo.py" somewhere in sys.path will still have precedence over the weak link of "foo" to "ufoo". See issues: #1740, #4449, #5229, #5241.

To fix this, introduce a MICROPY_HAS_FILE_READER variable, which is automatically set if MICROPY_READER_POSIX or MICROPY_READER_VFS is set but can also be manually set if a custom reader is being implemented. Then disable the file reading calls if this is not set.
2018-02-20py/builtinimport: Add compile-time option to disable external imports.Damien George
The new option is MICROPY_ENABLE_EXTERNAL_IMPORT and is enabled by default so that the default behaviour is the same as before. With it disabled import is only supported for built-in modules, not for external files nor frozen modules. This allows to support targets that have no filesystem of any kind and that only have access to pre-supplied built-in modules implemented natively.

2017-12-13py/builtinimport: Call __init__ for modules imported via a weak link.Damien George
This is a bit of a clumsy way of doing it but solves the issue of __init__ not running when a module is imported via its weak-link name. Ideally a better solution would be found.

2017-11-16py/objstr: Remove "make_qstr_if_not_already" arg from mp_obj_new_str.Damien George
This patch simplifies the str creation API to favour the common case of creating a str object that is not forced to be interned. To force interning of a new str the new mp_obj_new_str_via_qstr function is added, and should only be used if warranted. Apart from simplifying the mp_obj_new_str function (and making it have the same signature as mp_obj_new_bytes), this patch also reduces code size by a bit (-16 bytes for bare-arm and roughly -40 bytes on the bare-metal archs).
2017-10-04all: Remove inclusion of internal py header files.Damien George
Header files that are considered internal to the py core and should not normally be included directly are: py/nlr.h - internal nlr configuration and declarations py/bc0.h - contains bytecode macro definitions py/runtime0.h - contains basic runtime enums Instead, the top-level header files to include are one of: py/obj.h - includes runtime0.h and defines everything to use the mp_obj_t type py/runtime.h - includes mpstate.h and hence nlr.h, obj.h, runtime0.h, and defines everything to use the general runtime support functions Additional, specific headers (eg py/objlist.h) can be included if needed.

There were several different spellings of MicroPython present in comments, when there should be only one.

2017-06-28py/builtinimport: Remove unreachable code for relative imports.Damien George
The while-loop that calls chop_component will guarantee that level==-1 at the end of the loop. Hence the code following it is unnecessary. The check for p==this_name will catch imports that are beyond the top-level, and also covers the case of new_mod_q==MP_QSTR_ (equivalent to new_mod_l==0) so that check is removed. There is also a new check at the start for level>=0 to guard against __import__ being called with bad level values.
