* #4617: Previously it was illegal to delete a name from the localAmaury Forgeot d'Arc2010-09-101-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | namespace if it occurs as a free variable in a nested block. This limitation of the compiler has been lifted, and a new opcode introduced (DELETE_DEREF). This sample was valid in 2.6, but fails to compile in 3.x without this change:: >>> def f(): ... def print_error(): ... print(e) ... try: ... something ... except Exception as e: ... print_error() ... # implicit "del e" here This sample has always been invalid in Python, and now works:: >>> def outer(x): ... def inner(): ... return x ... inner() ... del x There is no need to bump the PYC magic number: the new opcode is used for code that did not compile before.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch by Antoine Pitrou optimizes the bytecode for conditional branches by merging the following "POP_TOP" instruction into the conditional jump. For example, the list comprehension "[x for x in l if not x]" produced the following bytecode: 1 0 BUILD_LIST 0 3 LOAD_FAST 0 (.0) >> 6 FOR_ITER 23 (to 32) 9 STORE_FAST 1 (x) 12 LOAD_FAST 1 (x) 15 JUMP_IF_TRUE 10 (to 28) 18 POP_TOP 19 LOAD_FAST 1 (x) 22 LIST_APPEND 2 25 JUMP_ABSOLUTE 6 >> 28 POP_TOP 29 JUMP_ABSOLUTE 6 >> 32 RETURN_VALUE but after the patch it produces the following bytecode: 1 0 BUILD_LIST 0 3 LOAD_FAST 0 (.0) >> 6 FOR_ITER 18 (to 27) 9 STORE_FAST 1 (x) 12 LOAD_FAST 1 (x) 15 POP_JUMP_IF_TRUE 6 18 LOAD_FAST 1 (x) 21 LIST_APPEND 2 24 JUMP_ABSOLUTE 6 >> 27 RETURN_VALUE Notice that not only the code is shorter, but the conditional jump (POP_JUMP_IF_TRUE) jumps right to the start of the loop instead of going through the JUMP_ABSOLUTE at the end. "continue" statements are helped similarly. Furthermore, the old jump opcodes (JUMP_IF_FALSE, JUMP_IF_TRUE) have been replaced by two new opcodes: - JUMP_IF_TRUE_OR_POP, which jumps if true and pops otherwise - JUMP_IF_FALSE_OR_POP, which jumps if false and pops otherwise
* Issue #4753: By enabling a configure option named '--with-computed-gotos'Antoine Pitrou2009-01-251-0/+258
on compilers that support it (notably: gcc, SunPro, icc), the bytecode evaluation loop is compiled with a new dispatch mechanism which gives speedups of up to 20%, depending on the system, on various benchmarks.
