      libgolang: tests: Factor out common testing functionality into shared place · 46a6f424
      Kirill Smelkov authored
      Currently libgolang_test.cpp contains tests for code in libgolang.cpp and
      for code that lives in other libgolang packages - sync, fmt, etc. It is
      becoming tight and we are going to split libgolang_test.cpp and move
      package tests to their corresponing files - e.g. to sync_test.cpp and
      the like.
      
      Move common assertion utilities into shared header before that as a
      preparatory step.

      gcompat: Move qq into golang · 8c459a99
      Kirill Smelkov authored
      This will allow to integrate qq with u in the next patch.
      
      Moving to compiled code for string processing functions is also
      generally better for performance.

      golang: Provide b, u for strings · bcb95cd5
      Kirill Smelkov authored
      With Python3 I've got tired to constantly use .encode() and .decode();
      getting exception if original argument was unicode on e.g. b.decode();
      getting exception on raw bytes that are invalid UTF-8, not being able to
      use bytes literal with non-ASCII characters, etc.
      
      So instead of this pain provide two functions that make sure an object
      is either bytes or unicode:
      
      - b converts str/unicode/bytes s to UTF-8 encoded bytestring.
      
      	Bytes input is preserved as-is:
      
      	   b(bytes_input) == bytes_input
      
      	Unicode input is UTF-8 encoded. The encoding always succeeds.
      	b is reverse operation to u - the following invariant is always true:
      
      	   b(u(bytes_input)) == bytes_input
      
      - u converts str/unicode/bytes s to unicode string.
      
      	Unicode input is preserved as-is:
      
      	   u(unicode_input) == unicode_input
      
      	Bytes input is UTF-8 decoded. The decoding always succeeds and input
      	information is not lost: non-valid UTF-8 bytes are decoded into
      	surrogate codes ranging from U+DC80 to U+DCFF.
      	u is reverse operation to b - the following invariant is always true:
      
      	   u(b(unicode_input)) == unicode_input
      
      NOTE: encoding _and_ decoding *never* fail nor loose information. This
      is achieved by using 'surrogateescape' error handler on Python3, and
      providing manual fallback that behaves the same way on Python2.
      
      The naming is chosen with the idea so that b(something) resembles
      b"something", and u(something) resembles u"something".
      
      This, even being only a part of strings solution discussed in [1],
      should help handle byte- and unicode- strings in more robust and
      distraction free way.
      
      Top-level documentation is TODO.

      libgolang: Provide Nil as alias for std::nullptr_t · 230c81c4
      Kirill Smelkov authored
      This continues 60f6db6f (libgolang: Provide nil as alias for nullptr and
      NULL): I've tried to compile pygolang with Clang on my Debian 10
      workstation and got:

          ...
      
      It seems with GCC and Clang under macOS nullptr_t is automatically provided in
      builtin namespace, while with older Clang on Linux (clang version 7.0.1-8) only
      in std:: namespace - rightfully as nullptr_t is described to be present there:
      
      https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/types/nullptr_t
      
      This way we either have to correct all occurrences of nullptr_t to
      std::nullptr_t, or do something similar with providing nil under golang:: .
      
      To reduce noise I prefer the later and let it be named as Nil.

      golang: tests: pypanicWhenBlocked: Fix thinko in __exit__ · b5a2f9dc
      Kirill Smelkov authored
      The code was assigning nil to local, _not_ global _tblockforever. As a
      result _tblockforever was left set with a test hook even after leaving
      test context. Fix it.
      
      The bug was there starting from 3b241983 (Port/move channels to
      C/C++/Pyx).
      
      Had to change `= nil` to `= NULL` because with nil Cython complains as
      
              def __exit__(pypanicWhenBlocked t, typ, val, tb):
                  global _tblockforever

      context: Fix thinko/typo in PyContext.__dealloc__ · 371d50b5
      Kirill Smelkov authored
      Instead of `pyctx.ctx = nil` it was just `ctx = nil` - i.e. assign nil
      to local variable instead of changing pyctx instance data. We were not
      observing this bug because Cython, for C++ fields of cdef classes,
      automatically emits in-place destructor calls in generated __dealloc__
      
          https://github.com/cython/cython/blob/0.29.14-11-g8c620c388/Cython/Compiler/ModuleNode.py#L1477-L1478
      
      and so this way there was no leak. However we want to be explicit and the
      code was not correct. Fix it.
      
      The bug was there from 2a359791 (context: Move/Port context package to
      C++/Pyx nogil).

      pygolang v0.0.5 · c5c3071b
      Kirill Smelkov authored
      This release is driven by wendelin.core v2 needs with one of the changes
      being that now most of the library was moved into nogil code and can be
      used fully from inside nogil world(*). Python modules are now just wrappers
      of their nogil counterparts. The way for Python and nogil worlds to
      communicate is also provided.
      
      The move to nogil required many other enhancements along the way. Please
      see CHANGELOG for overview.
      
      The move to nogil brought some speedup automatically.
      Below are benchmark results of this release compared to pygolang v0.0.4
      (1573d101) for python-level benchmarks (we have only those at present):

      workgroup_* changes for thread runtime is the speedup I am talking about.
      defer/func_call slowdown is due to added exception chaining. We did not
      optimize Python-level defer yet, and if/when that would be needed, it should
      be possible to optimize by moving pydefer implementation into Cython.
      
      (*) go and channels were moved into nogil world in Pygolang v0.0.3 +
      v0.0.4 . Now it is the rest of the library that was moved with packages
      like context, time, sync etc.
      
      wendelin.core v2 needs nogil to run pinner thread on client side to
      support isolation property in cooperation with wcfs: since there is a
      `client -> wcfs -> pinner` loop:
      
            - - - - - -
           |           |
              pinner <------.
           |           |   wcfs
              client -------^
           |           |
            - - - - - -
           client process
      
      the pinner thread would deadlock if it tries to take the GIL because
      client thread can be holding GIL already while accessing wcfs-mmaped
      memory (think doing e.g. `x = A[i]` in Python).

      For base functionality we have overview in the readme itself, but for
      packages we have only their listing with brief overview and no
      documentation for in-package functionality.
      
      Let's have at least links to .h/.pxd/.py where package functionality is

      golang: Fix defer exception chaining in the presence of subchains · 1477dd02
      Kirill Smelkov authored
      A deferred function can raise exception and this exception itself can
      have .__context__ - consider for example if B1 is raised and its chain
      is B1->B2->B3. Before calling that deferred function, we save
      then-current exception A1 into GoFrame.exc_ctx and link-to .exc_ctx after
      the call. We were previously trying to link-to .exc_ctx from raised
      exception itself - i.e. B1 in the above example which is not correct:
      B1 was raised while B2 was being raised ... etc and it was B3 who was
      raised after A1. The consequence was that A1 was list, since B1 already
      had non-empty .__context__
      
      -> Fix it by linking-to A1 from B3, not from B1. In other words by
      linking-to .exc_ctx chain from tail of exception chain of raised
      exception.
      
      We can be sure that updated test is correct because it passes under
      Python3 where exception chaining is implemented natively.

      golang: Fix defer exception chaining for regular exceptions raised from under @func · 06cac90b
      Kirill Smelkov authored
      Defer support for exception chaining on Python2 (see bb9a94c3 "golang:
      Teach defer to chain exceptions (PEP 3134) even on Python2") simulates
      PEP 3134 by manually setting and chaining exc .__context__, .__cause__
      and .__traceback__: if exceptions are thrown by several deferred
      functions they are linked into exception chain via .__context__
      attribute. Defer support in @func also makes sure that any exception
      that comes out of a function has all those PEP 3134 attributes and
      presets them to their default values if exception object did not have
      them initially. In particular .__context__ is preset to None for first
      raised exception.
      
      There was a logic error in chaining handling: .__context__ was glued to
      previously raised exception only if current exception object did not
      have .__context__ attribute at all. And this was failing to chain them
      if current exception was raised from under another function wrapped in
      @func, because GoFrame wrapping that function makes sure to set
      curexc.__context__=None and oops - it was not changed later.
      
      -> Fix chaining implementation by gluing .__context__ either if there is
      no such attribute in current exception, or if .__context__ is None.
      
      This is correct to do since .__context__, by its definition, represents
      implicitly / automatically chained exceptions - contrary to .__cause__
      which is explicitly set and would be incorrect to automatically change
      from None to something. We also know that the end result is the same as
      Python3 behaviour since updated tests (see bellow) pass OK also when run
      under Python3 where exceptions chaining is implemented by Python runtime
      natively.
      
      Update test_defer_excchain() in golang_test.py, which verifies how
      raised exceptions are chained.
      
      No need to update testprog/golang_test_defer_excchain.{py,txt} since the
      test there verifies that our traceback dumper is correctly hooked into
      Python interpreter - where we know that exceptions are already chained
      correctly and we verify only that automatic traceback dump takes this
      chaining into account.

      golang: Fix defer traceback tests when run somewhere under symlink · 7faaecbc
      Kirill Smelkov authored
      Since realpath was used to find out pygolang dir, it will give different
      prefix compared to what actual prefix of __file__ is if __file__ was
      imported through some symlinked directory. And it is the actual
      __file__ that is included into traceback - not its realpath'ed version.

      libgolang: Fix globals atexit race condition of ~refptr vs access from another thread · fd2a6fab
      Kirill Smelkov authored
      Until now we were defining errors like this:
      
          const error ErrSomething  = errors::New("abc");
      
      However there is a problem here: the runtime will call ErrSomething
      destructor on program exit, and for refptr<T> the destructor does 2
      things: a) decrefs the object, and b) switches embedded pointer to NULL;
      
      If another thread is still running both "a" and "b" can become race
      conditions if that T2 uses ErrSomething via e.g. just
      
          ...
          if (err == ErrSomething)
              ...
      
      Here is, for example TSAN report about ErrPyStopped usage when accessed by timer thread:

          SUMMARY: ThreadSanitizer: data race golang/libgolang.h:525 in golang::refptr<golang::_error>::refptr(golang::refptr<golang::_error> const&)
      
      -> Fix it by not deallocating the object, nor clearing the pointer on smart pointer destruction.
      
      To do so in ergonomic way introduce another template type global<X>,
      which can be used instead of X and change types of all global error
      variables from `const error` to `const global<error>`. Don't change pxd
      to offload pyx users from thinking about global/not-global aspect.
      
      Top-level documentation is TODO.

      Provide sync.WorkGroup that can be used directly from C++ and Pyx/nogil codes.
      Python-level sync.WorkGroup becomes a wrapper around pyx/nogil one.
      
      Like with context (2a359791 "context: Move/Port context package to
      C++/Pyx nogil"), timers (b073f6df "time: Move/Port timers to C++/Pyx
      nogil") and interfaces (5a99b769 "libgolang: Start providing
      interfaces") memory for on-heap allocated WorkGroup is managed
      automatically.
      
      Python-level tests should be enough to cover C++/Pyx functionality at
      zero-level approximation.
