Jeremy Hylton 985eba53f5 Small function call optimization and special build option for call stats.
-DCALL_PROFILE: Count the number of function calls executed.

When this symbol is defined, the ceval mainloop and helper functions
count the number of function calls made.  It keeps detailed statistics
about what kind of object was called and whether the call hit any of
the special fast paths in the code.

Optimization:

When we take the fast_function() path, which seems to be taken for
most function calls, and there is minimal frame setup to do, avoid
call PyEval_EvalCodeEx().  The eval code ex function does a lot of
work to handle keywords args and star args, free variables,
generators, etc.  The inlined version simply allocates the frame and
copies the arguments values into the frame.

The optimization gets a little help from compile.c which adds a
CO_NOFREE flag to code objects that don't have free variables or cell
variables.  This change allows fast_function() to get into the fast
path with fewer tests.

I measure a couple of percent speedup in pystone with this change, but
there's surely more that can be done.

/* Interface for threads.
A module that plans to do a blocking system call (or something else
that lasts a long time and doesn't touch Python data) can allow other
threads to run as follows:
...preparations here...
Py_BEGIN_ALLOW_THREADS
...blocking system call here...
Py_END_ALLOW_THREADS
...interpret result here...
The Py_BEGIN_ALLOW_THREADS/Py_END_ALLOW_THREADS pair expands to a
{}-surrounded block.
To leave the block in the middle (e.g., with return), you must insert
a line containing Py_BLOCK_THREADS before the return, e.g.
if (...premature_exit...) {
Py_BLOCK_THREADS
PyErr_SetFromErrno(PyExc_IOError);
return NULL;
}
An alternative is:
Py_BLOCK_THREADS
if (...premature_exit...) {
PyErr_SetFromErrno(PyExc_IOError);
return NULL;
}
Py_UNBLOCK_THREADS
For convenience, that the value of 'errno' is restored across
Py_END_ALLOW_THREADS and Py_BLOCK_THREADS.
WARNING: NEVER NEST CALLS TO Py_BEGIN_ALLOW_THREADS AND
Py_END_ALLOW_THREADS!!!
The function PyEval_InitThreads() should be called only from
initthread() in "threadmodule.c".
Note that not yet all candidates have been converted to use this
mechanism!
