      libgolang/thread: Don't ignore PyThread_acquire_lock return · 38f1900b
      Kirill Smelkov authored
      With WAIT_LOCK flag and correct usage PyThread_acquire_lock should never
      fail, but let's be cautious and verify that it indeed succeeds to acquire
      the lock.
      
      The rest of external functions called by thread runtime either have void
      return, or their return is checked.

      golang: Mark chan<T> IO methods as const · 3aca691e
      Kirill Smelkov authored
      chan<T> is a pointer type and e.g. send does not change the pointer - it
      only "modifies" channel buffer. Marking appropriate methods as const is
      needed so that `const chan<T>` could be used to send/receive the same
      way as `chan <T>` is used.

      Kirill Smelkov authored
      As suggested by https://github.com/jayvdb run manifest checker and oops,
      it finds that we forgot to include pyproject.toml for testprog/golang_pyx_user:
      
          missing from sdist:
            golang/pyx/testprog/golang_pyx_user/pyproject.toml
          suggested MANIFEST.in rules:
            recursive-include golang *.toml
      
      -> Fix MANIFEST.in in generic way to include golang/*/*.toml
      
      The bug was not affecting pygolang usage - only golang.pyx.build tests were
      failing for sdist installed pygolang.

      Port/move channels to C/C++/Pyx · 3b241983
      Kirill Smelkov authored
      - Move channels implementation to be done in C++ inside libgolang. The
        code and logic is based on previous Python-level channels
        implementation, but the new code is just C++ and does not depend on
        Python nor GIL at all, and so works without GIL if libgolang
        runtime works without GIL(*).
      
        (*) for example "thread" runtime works without GIL, while "gevent" runtime
            acquires GIL on every semaphore acquire.
      
        New channels implementation is located in δ(libgolang.cpp).
      
      - Provide low-level C channels API to the implementation. The low-level
        C API was inspired by Libtask[1] and Plan9/Libthread[2].
      
        [1] Libtask: a Coroutine Library for C and Unix. https://swtch.com/libtask.
        [2] http://9p.io/magic/man2html/2/thread.
      
      - Provide high-level C++ channels API that provides type-safety and
        automatic channel lifetime management.
      
        Overview of C and C++ APIs are in δ(libgolang.h).
      
      - Expose C++ channels API at Pyx level as Cython/nogil API so that Cython
        programs could use channels with ease and without need to care about
        lifetime management and low-level details.
      
        Overview of Cython/nogil channels API is in δ(README.rst) and
        δ(_golang.pxd).
      
      - Turn Python channels to be tiny wrapper around chan<PyObject>.
      
      Implementation note:
      
      - gevent case needs special care because greenlet, which gevent uses,
        swaps coroutine stack from C stack to heap on coroutine park, and
        replaces that space on C stack with stack of activated coroutine
        copied back from heap. This way if an object on g's stack is accessed
        while g is parked it would be memory of another g's stack.
      
        The channels implementation explicitly cares about this issue so that
        stack -> * channel send, or * -> stack channel receive work correctly.
      
        It should be noted that greenlet approach, which it inherits from
        stackless, is not only a bit tricky, but also comes with overhead
        (stack <-> heap copy), and prevents a coroutine to migrate from 1 OS
        thread to another OS thread as that would change addresses of on-stack
        things for that coroutine.
      
        As the latter property prevents to use multiple CPUs even if the
        program / runtime are prepared to work without GIL, it would be more
        logical to change gevent/greenlet to use separate stack for each
        coroutine. That would remove stack <-> heap copy and the need for
        special care in channels implementation for stack - stack sends.
        Such approach should be possible to implement with e.g. swapcontext or
        similar mechanism, and a proof of concept of such work wrapped into
        greenlet-compatible API exists[3]. It would be good if at some point
        there would be a chance to explore such approach in Pygolang context.

      libgolang: Add internal semaphores · 69db91bf
      Kirill Smelkov authored
      - Add semaphore alloc/free/acquire/release functionality to libgolang runtime;
      - Implement semaphores for thread and gevent runtimes.
      
        * Thread runtime uses PyThread_acquire_lock/PyThread_release_lock +
          PyThread_acquire_lock/PyThread_release_lock, which, if used
          carefully, do not depend on GIL and on e.g. POSIX are tiny wrappers
          around sem_init(process-private) + sem_post/sem_wait(*).
      
        * Gevent runtime uses geven't Semaphore in Pyx mode.
      
      - Add Sema and Mutex classes that use semaphores provided by a runtime
        in a RAII style.
      - Add with_lock(mu) that mimics `with mu` in Python.
      
      Sema and Mutex will be used in channels implementation in the followup
      patch.
      
      (*) during late testing a bug was found in CPython2 and PyPy semaphore
      implementations on Darwin (technically speaking on POSIX with
      _POSIX_SEMAPHORES undefined). Quoting the patch:
      
          FIXME On Darwin, even though this is considered as POSIX, Python uses
          mutex+condition variable to implement its lock, and, as of 20190828, Py2.7
          implementation, even though similar issue was fixed for Py3 in 2012, contains
          synchronization bug: the condition is signalled after mutex unlock while the
          correct protocol is to signal condition from under mutex:
      
            https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/v2.7.16-127-g0229b56d8c0/Python/thread_pthread.h#L486-L506
            https://github.com/python/cpython/commit/187aa545165d (py3 fix)
      
          PyPy has the same bug for both pypy2 and pypy3:
      
            https://bitbucket.org/pypy/pypy/src/578667b3fef9/rpython/translator/c/src/thread_pthread.c#lines-443:465
            https://bitbucket.org/pypy/pypy/src/5b42890d48c3/rpython/translator/c/src/thread_pthread.c#lines-443:465
      
          This way when Pygolang is used with buggy Python/darwin, the bug leads to
          frequently appearing deadlocks, while e.g. CPython3/darwin works ok.
      
          -> TODO maintain our own semaphore code.
      
      So eventually we'll have push down and maintain our own semaphores,
      at least for platforms we care, not to be beaten by CPython runtime bugs.

      We will need to add C-level attributes to pychan and this requires it to

      This is probably because for `cdef class` methods Cython does not
      emulate full method bindings the same way as Python does.  Anyway we can
      check which method is passed to pyselect by chanop.__name__ or by
      inspecting PyCFunction directly. And not having method binding wrapper
      should only remove a bit of overhead.
      
      So we are ok with reworking send/recv chanop detection, and since
      this way im_class provided by golang._pycompat becomes unused, it is
      also removed.
      
      The timings are probably within noise:

      Use `ch` instead of `self` for pychan methods. This aligns with how
      (py)chan objects are currently denoted in (py)select and will reduce the
      difference when chan code is moved into libgolang. We are sticking to Go
      convention here.
      
      After the code with channels implementation is moved into libgolang, the
      rest bits in golang.pyx will be changed to refer to pychan objects as
      pych for clarity.

      pyx api: Provide go · f971a2a8
      Kirill Smelkov authored
      - Add go functionality to libgolang runtime;
      - Implement go for thread and gevent runtimes.
      
        * Thread runtime uses PyThread_start_new_thread which, if used
          carefully, does not depend on Python GIL and on e.g. POSIX reduces to
          tiny wrapper around pthread_create.
      
        * Gevent runtime uses gevent's Greenlet in Pyx mode. This turns
          gevent to be a build-time dependency.
      
      - Provide low-level _taskgo in C client API;
      - Provide type-safe C++-level go wrapper over _taskgo;
      - Switch golang.go from py implementation into Pyx wrapper over
        Pyx/nogil API.

      pyx.build: Allow to combine C and C++ sources in one extension · 7ae8c4f3
      Kirill Smelkov authored
      The next patch will add `go` to Pyx API and correspondingly C, C++ and Pyx
      level tests for it that will go into _golang_test.pyx extension. For
      C-level test we'll use C source file - to verify that libgolang.h could
      be used by C projects with C compiler, while for C++ and Pyx-level tests
      the sources will be in C++. Thus _golang_test.so will be build from both
      C and C++ sources.
      
      This creates a problem: distutils / setuptools use the _same_ compiler
      to compile both C and C++ sources and only use C++ compiler at link
      stage. Thus, as it is not possible to tune compiler that is used only
      for C++ sources, and also as it is not possible to provide per-source
      flags, when compiling C-level test, the compiler will be invoked with
      `-std=c++11` option that we inject. Gcc tolerates that and only prints a
      warning, but Clang considers that an error and gives:
      
      	error: invalid argument '-std=c++11' not allowed with 'C'`
      
      A proper fix would be to change the build system from distutils to
      something more flexible that uses C++ compiler for C++ sources and C
      compiler for C sources and allows to tune per-unit flags. However it is
      not a small step at this stage.
      
      -> Use workaround and tweak options that are used when compiling sources
      depending on whether it is C or C++.

      - Switch golang.time py module into using golang.time pyx module.
      
      As we are adding sleep, related functionality to query system about

      Libgolang will be generic library and it will adapt itself to particular
      execution environment by way of runtime plugin. This commit introduces
      stubs for two such runtimes - "thread" and "gevent" - and initializes
      libgolang with particular runtime depending on whether golang is
      imported with gevent preactivated or not.
      
      The runtimes themselves are empty at this step. We'll be adding runtime
      functionality in the following patches.

      Start transforming Pygolang from being pure Python project into project
      that uses both Python and Cython and provides both Python and Cython API
      to its users.
      
      For Cython API there is a goal for it to be usable independently of
      Python GIL - i.e. independently of Python runtime and limitations
      imposed by Python's global interpreter lock. The motivation for this
      work is wendelin.core v2, which, due to its design, would deadlock if it
      tries to take the GIL in its pinner thread.
      
      This commit brings bare minimum establishing libraries and build system.
      It:
      
      - Introduces C/C++ library libgolang. Libgolang will be serving most of
        nogil functionality and Pyx API will be a small wrapper over it. At
        this step Libgolang comes only with C-level panic;
      
      - Introduces Pyx package golang that is aliased to Pyx package
        golang._golang . Users can do `from golang cimport ...` similarly to how
        they do py-level `from golang import ...`. At this step golang.pyx
        only wraps panic and provides way to transform C-level panic into Python
        exception;
      
      - Introduces Py package golang.pyx.build . This package, similarly to
        golang.org/pkg/go/build, serves as the system to build Pyx packages -
        both external packages that use Pygolang in pyx mode, and to build
        Pygolang itself. The build, internally, is served by setuptools_dso
        and cython. An example how to use golang.pyx.build from external
        project comes in golang/pyx/testprog/golang_pyx_user/ and is used by
        tests to verify golang.pyx.build functionality;
      
      - Introduces Pygolang build dependency to cython and setuptools_dso.

      golang: Add test for blocked select(send|recv) vs close · 02f6991f

      This test passes, but the functionality was not tested before. In
      particular all tests were passing even with the following hand-edits:

      golang: Fix race in chan._tryrecv · c6bb9eb3
      Kirill Smelkov authored
      For buffered channel _tryrecv, on success, was unlocking ch._mu too
      early - before accessing ch._dataq with ch._dataq.append().
      
      Without the fix, newly added test breaks as e.g.
      
          golang/golang_test.py::test_chan_buf_recv_vs_tryrecv_race Exception in thread Thread-3:
