- There is no longer a separate Python/executor.c file.
- Conventions in Python/bytecodes.c are slightly different -- don't use `goto error`,
you must use `GOTO_ERROR(error)` (same for others like `unused_local_error`).
- The `TIER_ONE` and `TIER_TWO` symbols are only valid in the generated (.c.h) files.
- In Lib/test/support/__init__.py, `Py_C_RECURSION_LIMIT` is imported from `_testcapi`.
- On Windows, in debug mode, stack allocation grows from 8MiB to 12MiB.
- **Beware!** This changes the env vars to enable uops and their debugging
to `PYTHON_UOPS` and `PYTHON_LLTRACE`.
In Python/bytecodes.c, you now write
```
DEOPT_IF(condition);
```
The code generator expands this to
```
DEOPT_IF(condition, opcode);
```
where `opcode` is the name of the unspecialized instruction.
This works inside macro expansions too.
**CAVEAT:** The entire `DEOPT_IF(condition)` statement must be on a single line.
If it isn't, the substitution will fail; an error will be printed by the code generator
and the C compiler will report some errors.
These are the most popular specializations of `LOAD_ATTR` and `STORE_ATTR`
that weren't already viable uops:
* Split LOAD_ATTR_METHOD_WITH_VALUES
* Split LOAD_ATTR_METHOD_NO_DICT
* Split LOAD_ATTR_SLOT
* Split STORE_ATTR_SLOT
* Split STORE_ATTR_INSTANCE_VALUE
Also:
* Add `-v` flag to code generator which prints a list of non-viable uops
(easter-egg: it can print execution counts -- see source)
* Double _Py_UOP_MAX_TRACE_LENGTH to 128
I had dropped one of the DEOPT_IF() calls! :-(
This makes the internal representation in the code generator simpler: there's a list of ops, and a list of macros, and there's no special-casing needed for ops that aren't macros. (There's now special-casing for ops that are also macros, but that's simpler.)
I must have overlooked this when refactoring the code generator.
The Tier 1 interpreter contained a few silly things like
```
goto resume_frame;
STACK_SHRINK(1);
```
(and other variations, some where the unconditional `goto` was hidden in a macro).
* Rename SAVE_IP to _SET_IP
* Rename EXIT_TRACE to _EXIT_TRACE
* Rename SAVE_CURRENT_IP to _SAVE_CURRENT_IP
* Rename INSERT to _INSERT (This is for Ken Jin's abstract interpreter)
* Rename IS_NONE to _IS_NONE
* Rename JUMP_TO_TOP to _JUMP_TO_TOP
This adds a 16-bit inline cache entry to the conditional branch instructions POP_JUMP_IF_{FALSE,TRUE,NONE,NOT_NONE} and their instrumented variants, which is used to keep track of the branch direction.
Each time we encounter these instructions we shift the cache entry left by one and set the bottom bit to whether we jumped.
Then when it's time to translate such a branch to Tier 2 uops, we use the bit count from the cache entry to decided whether to continue translating the "didn't jump" branch or the "jumped" branch.
The counter is initialized to a pattern of alternating ones and zeros to avoid bias.
The .pyc file magic number is updated. There's a new test, some fixes for existing tests, and a few miscellaneous cleanups.
Also remove NOP instructions.
The "stubs" are not optimized in this fashion (their SAVE_IP should always be preserved since it's where to jump next, and they don't contain NOPs by their nature).
Instead of using `GO_TO_INSTRUCTION(CALL_PY_EXACT_ARGS)` we just add the macro elements of the latter to the macro for the former. This requires lengthening the uops array in struct opcode_macro_expansion. (It also required changes to stacking.py that were merged already.)
I was comparing the last preceding poke with the *last* peek,
rather than the *first* peek.
Unfortunately this bug obscured another bug:
When the last preceding poke is UNUSED, the first peek disappears,
leaving the variable unassigned. This is how I fixed it:
- Rename CopyEffect to CopyItem.
- Change CopyItem to contain StackItems instead of StackEffects.
- Update those StackItems when adjusting the manager higher or lower.
- Assert that those StackItems' offsets are equivalent.
- Other clever things.

* Add missing includes.
* Remove unused includes.
* Update old include/symbol names to newer names.
* Mention at least one included symbol.
* Sort includes.
* Update Tools/cases_generator/generate_cases.py used to generated
pycore_opcode_metadata.h.
* Update Parser/asdl_c.py used to generate pycore_ast.h.
* Cleanup also includes in _testcapimodule.c and _testinternalcapi.c.
* pycore_intrinsics.h does nothing if included twice
(add #ifndef and #define).
* Update Tools/cases_generator/generate_cases.py to generate the
Py_BUILD_CORE test.
* _bz2, _lzma, _opcode and zlib extensions now define the
Py_BUILD_CORE_MODULE macro to use internal headers
(pycore_code.h, pycore_intrinsics.h and pycore_blocks_output_buffer.h).
This finishes the work begun in gh-107760. When, while projecting a superblock, we encounter a call to a short, simple function, the superblock will now enter the function using `_PUSH_FRAME`, continue through it, and leave it using `_POP_FRAME`, and then continue through the original code. Multiple frame pushes and pops are even possible. It is also possible to stop appending to the superblock in the middle of a called function, when running out of space or encountering an unsupported bytecode.
* Split `CALL_PY_EXACT_ARGS` into uops
This is only the first step for doing `CALL` in Tier 2.
The next step involves tracing into the called code object and back.
After that we'll have to do the remaining `CALL` specialization.
Finally we'll have to deal with `KW_NAMES`.
Note: this moves setting `frame->return_offset` directly in front of
`DISPATCH_INLINED()`, to make it easier to move it into `_PUSH_FRAME`.
- Generalize the syntax for the type of a stack effect to allow a trailing `*`,
so we can declare something as e.g. `PyCodeObject *`.
- When generating assignments for stack effects,
the type of the value on the stack should be the default (i.e., `PyObject *`)
even when the variable copied to/from it has a different type,
so that an appropriate cast is generated
However, not when the variable is an array --
then the type is taken from the variable (as it is always `PyObject **`).
This fixes two tiny defects in analysis.py that I didn't catch on time in #107564:
- `get_var_names` in `check_macro_consistency` should skip `UNUSED` names.
- Fix an occurrence of `is UNUSED` (should be `==`).
Introducing a new file, stacking.py, that takes over several responsibilities related to symbolic evaluation of push/pop operations, with more generality.
This mostly extracts a whole bunch of stuff out of generate_cases.py into separate files, but there are a few other things going on here.
- analysis.py: `Analyzer` etc.
- instructions.py: `Instruction` etc.
- flags.py: `InstructionFlags`, `variable_used`, `variable_used_unspecialized`
- formatting.py: `Formatter` etc.
- Rename parser.py to parsing.py, to avoid conflict with stdlib parser.py
- Blackify most things
- Fix most mypy errors
- Remove output filenames from Generator state, add them to `write_instructions()` etc.
- Fix unit tests
This restores a corner case: when the generator is run with working directory set to Tools/cases_generator, the source filenames listed in the generated provenance header should be relative to the repo root directory.
