port 2P step 1: vendor CPython 2.7.18 as the mtpython static library
The embedded 40250 script layer needs its own interpreter on five platforms. 2.7 is end-of-life, so nothing can be fetched from the target SDKs and the source is vendored (official 2.7.18 tarball, trimmed to 25MB; Lib/ stays for step 3's python27.zip). cpython-2.7.18/CMakeLists.txt builds one `mtpython` static library from exactly the 133 objects the reference libpython2.7.a contains, off by default behind -DMTGODOT_EMBED_PYTHON=ON. The source list and the built-in module table (config/config.c, 39 entries) are shared; pyconfig.h is a probe result and is not, so each platform keeps its own under config/<platform>/, regenerated by tools/py_embed/gen_pyconfig.sh and checked against the shared table. Three vendor patches, documented in docs/THIRD-PARTY.md: configure/configure.ac learn arm64 on macOS, and posixmodule.c undefines the process-control calls it hard-defines past pyconfig.h when building for iOS. macOS (ctest python.embed: every builtin imports, codecs and pickle work off the vendored Lib/), Android arm64 and iOS arm64 build. Linux needs a Linux host and Windows needs a MinGW-vs-MSVC decision; both are noted for step 4. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

This file describes some special Python build types enabled via compile-time
|
||||
preprocessor defines.
|
||||
|
||||
IMPORTANT: if you want to build a debug-enabled Python, it is recommended that
|
||||
you use ``./configure --with-pydebug``, rather than the options listed here.
|
||||
|
||||
However, if you wish to define some of these options individually, it is best
|
||||
to define them in the EXTRA_CFLAGS make variable;
|
||||
``make EXTRA_CFLAGS="-DPy_REF_DEBUG"``.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Py_REF_DEBUG
|
||||
------------
|
||||
|
||||
Turn on aggregate reference counting. This arranges that extern _Py_RefTotal
|
||||
hold a count of all references, the sum of ob_refcnt across all objects. In a
|
||||
debug-mode build, this is where the "8288" comes from in
|
||||
|
||||
>>> 23
|
||||
23
|
||||
[8288 refs]
|
||||
>>>
|
||||
|
||||
Note that if this count increases when you're not storing away new objects,
|
||||
there's probably a leak. Remember, though, that in interactive mode the special
|
||||
name "_" holds a reference to the last result displayed!
|
||||
|
||||
Py_REF_DEBUG also checks after every decref to verify that the refcount hasn't
|
||||
gone negative, and causes an immediate fatal error if it has.
|
||||
|
||||
Special gimmicks:
|
||||
|
||||
sys.gettotalrefcount()
|
||||
Return current total of all refcounts.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Py_TRACE_REFS
|
||||
-------------
|
||||
|
||||
Turn on heavy reference debugging. This is major surgery. Every PyObject grows
|
||||
two more pointers, to maintain a doubly-linked list of all live heap-allocated
|
||||
objects. Most built-in type objects are not in this list, as they're statically
|
||||
allocated. Starting in Python 2.3, if COUNT_ALLOCS (see below) is also defined,
|
||||
a static type object T does appear in this list if at least one object of type T
|
||||
has been created.
|
||||
|
||||
Note that because the fundamental PyObject layout changes, Python modules
|
||||
compiled with Py_TRACE_REFS are incompatible with modules compiled without it.
|
||||
|
||||
Py_TRACE_REFS implies Py_REF_DEBUG.
|
||||
|
||||
Special gimmicks:
|
||||
|
||||
sys.getobjects(max[, type])
|
||||
Return list of the (no more than) max most-recently allocated objects, most
|
||||
recently allocated first in the list, least-recently allocated last in the
|
||||
list. max=0 means no limit on list length. If an optional type object is
|
||||
passed, the list is also restricted to objects of that type. The return
|
||||
list itself, and some temp objects created just to call sys.getobjects(),
|
||||
are excluded from the return list. Note that the list returned is just
|
||||
another object, though, so may appear in the return list the next time you
|
||||
call getobjects(); note that every object in the list is kept alive too,
|
||||
simply by virtue of being in the list.
|
||||
|
||||
envvar PYTHONDUMPREFS
|
||||
If this envvar exists, Py_Finalize() arranges to print a list of all
|
||||
still-live heap objects. This is printed twice, in different formats,
|
||||
before and after Py_Finalize has cleaned up everything it can clean up. The
|
||||
first output block produces the repr() of each object so is more
|
||||
informative; however, a lot of stuff destined to die is still alive then.
|
||||
The second output block is much harder to work with (repr() can't be invoked
|
||||
anymore -- the interpreter has been torn down too far), but doesn't list any
|
||||
objects that will die. The tool script combinerefs.py can be run over this
|
||||
to combine the info from both output blocks. The second output block, and
|
||||
combinerefs.py, were new in Python 2.3b1.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
PYMALLOC_DEBUG
|
||||
--------------
|
||||
|
||||
When pymalloc is enabled (WITH_PYMALLOC is defined), calls to the PyObject_
|
||||
memory routines are handled by Python's own small-object allocator, while calls
|
||||
to the PyMem_ memory routines are directed to the system malloc/ realloc/free.
|
||||
If PYMALLOC_DEBUG is also defined, calls to both PyObject_ and PyMem_ memory
|
||||
routines are directed to a special debugging mode of Python's small-object
|
||||
allocator.
|
||||
|
||||
This mode fills dynamically allocated memory blocks with special, recognizable
|
||||
bit patterns, and adds debugging info on each end of dynamically allocated
|
||||
memory blocks. The special bit patterns are:
|
||||
|
||||
#define CLEANBYTE 0xCB /* clean (newly allocated) memory */
|
||||
#define DEADBYTE 0xDB /* dead (newly freed) memory */
|
||||
#define FORBIDDENBYTE 0xFB /* forbidden -- untouchable bytes */
|
||||
|
||||
Strings of these bytes are unlikely to be valid addresses, floats, or 7-bit
|
||||
ASCII strings.
|
||||
|
||||
Let S = sizeof(size_t). 2*S bytes are added at each end of each block of N bytes
|
||||
requested. The memory layout is like so, where p represents the address
|
||||
returned by a malloc-like or realloc-like function (p[i:j] means the slice of
|
||||
bytes from *(p+i) inclusive up to *(p+j) exclusive; note that the treatment of
|
||||
negative indices differs from a Python slice):
|
||||
|
||||
p[-2*S:-S]
|
||||
Number of bytes originally asked for. This is a size_t, big-endian (easier
|
||||
to read in a memory dump).
|
||||
p[-S:0]
|
||||
Copies of FORBIDDENBYTE. Used to catch under- writes and reads.
|
||||
p[0:N]
|
||||
The requested memory, filled with copies of CLEANBYTE, used to catch
|
||||
reference to uninitialized memory. When a realloc-like function is called
|
||||
requesting a larger memory block, the new excess bytes are also filled with
|
||||
CLEANBYTE. When a free-like function is called, these are overwritten with
|
||||
DEADBYTE, to catch reference to freed memory. When a realloc- like function
|
||||
is called requesting a smaller memory block, the excess old bytes are also
|
||||
filled with DEADBYTE.
|
||||
p[N:N+S]
|
||||
Copies of FORBIDDENBYTE. Used to catch over- writes and reads.
|
||||
p[N+S:N+2*S]
|
||||
A serial number, incremented by 1 on each call to a malloc-like or
|
||||
realloc-like function. Big-endian size_t. If "bad memory" is detected
|
||||
later, the serial number gives an excellent way to set a breakpoint on the
|
||||
next run, to capture the instant at which this block was passed out. The
|
||||
static function bumpserialno() in obmalloc.c is the only place the serial
|
||||
number is incremented, and exists so you can set such a breakpoint easily.
|
||||
|
||||
A realloc-like or free-like function first checks that the FORBIDDENBYTEs at
|
||||
each end are intact. If they've been altered, diagnostic output is written to
|
||||
stderr, and the program is aborted via Py_FatalError(). The other main failure
|
||||
mode is provoking a memory error when a program reads up one of the special bit
|
||||
patterns and tries to use it as an address. If you get in a debugger then and
|
||||
look at the object, you're likely to see that it's entirely filled with 0xDB
|
||||
(meaning freed memory is getting used) or 0xCB (meaning uninitialized memory is
|
||||
getting used).
|
||||
|
||||
Note that PYMALLOC_DEBUG requires WITH_PYMALLOC.
|
||||
|
||||
Special gimmicks:
|
||||
|
||||
envvar PYTHONMALLOCSTATS
|
||||
If this envvar exists, a report of pymalloc summary statistics is printed to
|
||||
stderr whenever a new arena is allocated, and also by Py_Finalize().
|
||||
|
||||
Changed in 2.5: The number of extra bytes allocated is 4*sizeof(size_t).
|
||||
Before it was 16 on all boxes, reflecting that Python couldn't make use of
|
||||
allocations >= 2**32 bytes even on 64-bit boxes before 2.5.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Py_DEBUG
|
||||
--------
|
||||
|
||||
This is what is generally meant by "a debug build" of Python.
|
||||
|
||||
Py_DEBUG implies LLTRACE, Py_REF_DEBUG, Py_TRACE_REFS, and PYMALLOC_DEBUG (if
|
||||
WITH_PYMALLOC is enabled). In addition, C assert()s are enabled (via the C way:
|
||||
by not defining NDEBUG), and some routines do additional sanity checks inside
|
||||
"#ifdef Py_DEBUG" blocks.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
COUNT_ALLOCS
|
||||
------------
|
||||
|
||||
Each type object grows three new members:
|
||||
|
||||
/* Number of times an object of this type was allocated. */
|
||||
int tp_allocs;
|
||||
|
||||
/* Number of times an object of this type was deallocated. */
|
||||
int tp_frees;
|
||||
|
||||
/* Highwater mark: the maximum value of tp_allocs - tp_frees so
|
||||
* far; or, IOW, the largest number of objects of this type alive at
|
||||
* the same time.
|
||||
*/
|
||||
int tp_maxalloc;
|
||||
|
||||
Allocation and deallocation code keeps these counts up to date. Py_Finalize()
|
||||
displays a summary of the info returned by sys.getcounts() (see below), along
|
||||
with assorted other special allocation counts (like the number of tuple
|
||||
allocations satisfied by a tuple free-list, the number of 1-character strings
|
||||
allocated, etc).
|
||||
|
||||
Before Python 2.2, type objects were immortal, and the COUNT_ALLOCS
|
||||
implementation relies on that. As of Python 2.2, heap-allocated type/ class
|
||||
objects can go away. COUNT_ALLOCS can blow up in 2.2 and 2.2.1 because of this;
|
||||
this was fixed in 2.2.2. Use of COUNT_ALLOCS makes all heap-allocated type
|
||||
objects immortal, except for those for which no object of that type is ever
|
||||
allocated.
|
||||
|
||||
Starting with Python 2.3, If Py_TRACE_REFS is also defined, COUNT_ALLOCS
|
||||
arranges to ensure that the type object for each allocated object appears in the
|
||||
doubly-linked list of all objects maintained by Py_TRACE_REFS.
|
||||
|
||||
Special gimmicks:
|
||||
|
||||
sys.getcounts()
|
||||
Return a list of 4-tuples, one entry for each type object for which at least
|
||||
one object of that type was allocated. Each tuple is of the form:
|
||||
|
||||
(tp_name, tp_allocs, tp_frees, tp_maxalloc)
|
||||
|
||||
Each distinct type object gets a distinct entry in this list, even if two or
|
||||
more type objects have the same tp_name (in which case there's no way to
|
||||
distinguish them by looking at this list). The list is ordered by time of
|
||||
first object allocation: the type object for which the first allocation of
|
||||
an object of that type occurred most recently is at the front of the list.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
LLTRACE
|
||||
-------
|
||||
|
||||
Compile in support for Low Level TRACE-ing of the main interpreter loop.
|
||||
|
||||
When this preprocessor symbol is defined, before PyEval_EvalFrame executes a
|
||||
frame's code it checks the frame's global namespace for a variable
|
||||
"__lltrace__". If such a variable is found, mounds of information about what
|
||||
the interpreter is doing are sprayed to stdout, such as every opcode and opcode
|
||||
argument and values pushed onto and popped off the value stack.
|
||||
|
||||
Not useful very often, but very useful when needed.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
CALL_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.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
WITH_TSC
|
||||
--------
|
||||
|
||||
Super-lowlevel profiling of the interpreter. When enabled, the sys module grows
|
||||
a new function:
|
||||
|
||||
settscdump(bool)
|
||||
If true, tell the Python interpreter to dump VM measurements to stderr. If
|
||||
false, turn off dump. The measurements are based on the processor's
|
||||
time-stamp counter.
|
||||
|
||||
This build option requires a small amount of platform specific code. Currently
|
||||
this code is present for linux/x86 and any PowerPC platform that uses GCC
|
||||
(i.e. OS X and linux/ppc).
|
||||
|
||||
On the PowerPC the rate at which the time base register is incremented is not
|
||||
defined by the architecture specification, so you'll need to find the manual for
|
||||
your specific processor. For the 750CX, 750CXe and 750FX (all sold as the G3)
|
||||
we find:
|
||||
|
||||
The time base counter is clocked at a frequency that is one-fourth that of
|
||||
the bus clock.
|
||||
|
||||
This build is enabled by the --with-tsc flag to configure.
