      golang: Fix race in chan._trysend · eb8a1fef
      Kirill Smelkov authored
      For buffered channel _trysend, on success, was unlocking ch._mu too
      early - before accessing ch._dataq with ch._dataq.popleft().
      
      Without the fix, newly added test breaks as e.g.

      golang: Test that buffered channel releases objects from buffer on chan GC · cb5bfdd2
      Kirill Smelkov authored
      Currently it behaves correctly, but this aspect will need to be
      explicitly cared about when channel implementation moves to C. Add test
      to make sure it won't regress.

      golang: Run all select tests "more thoroughly" · c5810987
      Kirill Smelkov authored
      Starting from b51b8d5d (select: Run tests more thoroughly) we are
      running select subtests in repeated mode with N=1000. However not all
      select subtests were run in repeated mode - for example e.g.
      "non-blocking try send: not ok" was being run only once.
      
      -> Rework all select subtests to be run in repeated mode to increase the
      probability of catching bugs.

      golang: tests: Use panic when testing "blocks forever" · fa667412
      Kirill Smelkov authored
      Channels implementation will soon be moved to C and will become
      independent from Python runtime. This way while pygolang will still be
      providing panic, hooking in and raising arbitrary Python-level exception
      will become problematic. -> Rework "blocks forever" tests to rely on
      just panic to prepare for that.

      golang: tests: Factor out retrieving len(ch._recvq) and len(ch._sendq) · 352628b5
      Kirill Smelkov authored
      Chan implementation is going to be moved into C, and this way direct
      access to chan internals won't be possible. C implementation will export
      dedicated functions for chan tests which will be used.
      
      Prepare for that and factor out retrieving len of chan recv/send queues
      into separate functions, which will be adapted at the time of C port.

      *: Use golang.time universally · c3bd2c50
      Kirill Smelkov authored
      After 9c260fde (time: New package that mirrors Go's time) we have
      golang.time.now and golang.time.sleep and it makes it a more
      self-dependent system if timing facility is used through golang.time
      instead of outside std time module.
      
      For now this is only a "cleanness" change, but will become important once
      we start adding pyx-level nogil API to pygolang - there it will be
      important to use golang.time.* for correctness.

      sync: threading.Event -> chan · 78d85cdc
      Kirill Smelkov authored
      Starting from e6bea2cf (sync: New package that mirrors Go's sync) there
      is sync.WaitGroup and it was using threading.Event to signal that
      waitgroup's counter dropped to zero. threading.Event is implemented in
      Python's stdlib via threading.Condition, which in turn uses
      threading.Lock and list of waiters to implement its functionality.
      Which in turn is very similar to what golang.chan does internally with
      semaphore and e.g. recv queue.
      
      I noticed this while debugging sync test deadlock (see previous patch)
      and suspecting bug in threading.Event for a moment. While it turned
      there is no bug in threading.Event, it is better to rely on the common
      functionality for similar tasks, and pygolang's channel perfectly
      matches here the need to signal an event. By using our own code instead
      of stdlib's threading we are likely becoming less bug-prone.
      
      This also brings a small speedup:
      
          (on i5@1.80GHz)
          name             old time/op  new time/op  delta
          workgroup_empty   239µs ± 1%   220µs ± 1%  -7.62%  (p=0.000 n=10+9)

      sync.WorkGroup: Fix deadlock thinko in tests · b8b042c5
      Kirill Smelkov authored
      sync.WorkGroup test was doing ctx.done() wait from under test mutex,
      something like
      
          def _(ctx, i):
              with mu:
                  ...
                  if i == 0:
                      raise RuntimeError()    # to cause ctx cancel
                  ctx.done().recv()           # i=1 -> wait till ctx is canceled
      
      but it can be a deadlock if T(i=1) runs first and enters
      ctx.done().recv() before T(i=0) is run - then T(i=0) will block forever
      waiting to lock mu.
      
      This failure was not seen so far, probably because the time to go a new
      thread/goroutine is relatively high. However one of upcoming patches,
      where go is made faster, revealed this problem and, without the fix,
      sync.WorkGroup test was regularly deadlocking.
      
      The problem was there from sync.WorkGroup beginning - from
      9ee7ba91 (sync += WorkGroup).
      
      Fix the deadlock by waiting for ctx.done() outside of mu.

      *_test: Verify panic argument · 773d8fb2
      Kirill Smelkov authored
      In tests in places where the code checks that something panics, verify
      not only that _PanicError is raised, but also what was the argument
      passed to panic.
      
      This makes sure that tested code panics in expected place, not just
      panics "somewhere".
      
      To keep signal/noise ratio high introduce `panics` which is similar to
      `pytest.raises` and asserts that wrapped code panics with expected
      argument.

      sync.WorkGroup: Propagate all exception types, not only those derived from Exception · 79aab7df
      Kirill Smelkov authored
      A problem was hit with pytest.fail with raises Failed exception not
      being propagated to .wait. As it turned out it was not propagated
      because pytest's Failed derives from BaseException, not Exception, and
      we were catching only Exception and its children.
      
      Rework the code to propagate all exception types from workers.
      
      Performance change is with noise (it is either a bit faster for one set
      of runs, or a bit slower for another set of runs).

      sync.Workgroup: Don't use @func at runtime · 94c6160b
      Kirill Smelkov authored
      It is true for any decorator, that it makes things faster if
      def+decorator is used globally instead of at runtime, but for @func it
      is especially true since @func, using decorator.decorate, has relatively
      high overhead if it is used not only once at program startup, but
      instead every time something is run.
      
      In particular moving @func out of WorkGroup.go() make things
      considerably faster:
      
      	name             old time/op  new time/op  delta
      	workgroup_empty   195µs ± 0%   113µs ± 1%  -41.91%  (p=0.008 n=5+5)
      	workgroup_raise   221µs ± 1%   137µs ± 1%  -38.29%  (p=0.008 n=5+5)
      
      See
      
      	https://lab.nexedi.com/kirr/misc/raw/009c4fee/pygolang/prof_workgroup_empty.svg
      
      for bench_workgroup_empty profile, where it is seen that
      decorator.decorate was using ~ half of the whole WorkGroup.go() time.

      golang: Fix `@func(cls) def name` not to override `name` in calling context · 924a808c
      Kirill Smelkov authored
      With @func being a decorator, the following
      
      	@func(cls)
      	def name():
      		...
      
      is always processed by python as
      
      	name = func(cls)(def name(): ...)
      
      Before this patch it was leading to name being overridden with None:
      
      	def f():
      		print 'hello'
      
      	class C:
      		pass
      
      	@func(C)
      	def f(c):
      		print 'C.f', c
      
      	f()
      	Traceback (most recent call last):
      	  File "<console>", line 1, in <module>
      	TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not callable
      
      We can fix it by returning from `func(cls)(def name(): ...)` the
      original `name` object from the calling context.
      
      Unfortunately if `name` was not previously set I did not find a way(*) to
      avoid polluting the calling namespace where it is set to what @func(cls)
      returns (None) by the hardcoded way how python processes decorators:
      
      	In [2]: c = """
      	   ...: @fff
      	   ...: def ccc():
      	   ...:     return 1
      	   ...: """
      
      	In [3]: cc = compile(c, "file", "exec")
      
      	In [4]: dis(cc)
      	  2           0 LOAD_NAME                0 (fff)
      	              3 LOAD_CONST               0 (<code object ccc at 0x7fafe58d0130, file "file", line 2>)
      	              6 MAKE_FUNCTION            0
      	              9 CALL_FUNCTION            1
      	             12 STORE_NAME               1 (ccc)	<-- NOTE means: ccc = what fff() call returns
      	             15 LOAD_CONST               1 (None)
      	             18 RETURN_VALUE
      
      At least with no overriding taking place the situation is better now.
      
      NOTE: it is only @func(cls) which potentially pollutes calling
      namespace. Just @func (without class) is always clean because by
      definition it works as a regular decorator.
      
      (*) there is a very low-level and potentially fragile way to disable
      STORE_NAME after CALL_FUNCTION by dynamically patching caller's bytecode
      at runtime and replacing STORE_NAME with POP_TOP + NOP...

      golang: Don't keep test programs inside golang/ dir · 6e3b3ff4
      Kirill Smelkov authored
      Python adds dirname of run program to sys.path . This way when
      golang_test_goleaked.py runs it can import modules located under golang/
      just by their name. Until now this was not noticed, but in the next
      patch we are going to add golang.time module and if test program is run
      with golang/ in sys.path just plain `import time` won't import time from
      stdlib and instead import time from golang/ .
      
      Such behaviour can be mitigated by doing `from __future__ import
      absolute_import` and we do that, including in golang_test_goleaked.py
      (see 81dfefa0 "*: __future__ += absolute_imports; Use unified __future__
      everywhere"). However that does not prevent modules - even modules from
      stdlib - who are doing `import time` and not doing future
      absolute_import to import golang's time instead of stdlib. For example
      on PyPy2 threading imports time and then the test breaks:

      *: __future__ += absolute_imports; Use unified __future__ everywhere · 81dfefa0
      Kirill Smelkov authored
      - we are going to introduce golang.time, and from inside there without
        `from __future__ import absolute_imports` it won't be possible to import
        needed stdlib's time.
      
      - we were already doing `from __future__ import print_function`, but
        only in some files.
      
      -> It makes sense to apply updated __future__ usage uniformly.

      fixup! pygolang v0.0.1 · 1172e39f
      Kirill Smelkov authored
      - correct CHANGELOG title levels: since readme uses "----" for the
        first level and "~~~~" for the second level, "====" was interpreted as
        the third title level and "Pygolang change history" became
        sub-sub-section of "Additional packages and utilities" with section
        for each version conversely becoming first level. It was not very
        noticeable until 0c5f9d06 (readme: Push "Additional packages and
        utilities" into its own section) started to use "~~~~".
        -> Rework CHANGELOG titling to align with the one in README.
      
      - fix minor markup bits in README.

      readme: Push "Additional packages and utilities" into its own section · 0c5f9d06
      Kirill Smelkov authored
      We are going to add more packages to mirror Go stdlib (e.g. next is
      context). Organize a dedicated section for what is additionally provided
      besides mirroring Go language and refer to that place only once from the
      top-level abstract.

      golang: Add support for nil channel · 2aad64bb
      Kirill Smelkov authored
      Send/recv on the nil channel block forever; close panics.
      If a nil channel is used in select - corresponding case is never selected.
      
      Setting channel to nil is a usual idiom in Go to disable processing some
      cases in select. Nil channel is also used as "done" for e.g.
      context.Background() - for contexts that can be never canceled.

      gpython: Workaround PyPy2 vs Gevent patch_thread crash · 704d99f0

      It will be fixed on next Gevent release, however until then the crash is there
      and we have to workaround: we can skip patching existing locks as it will be
      the same behaviour of next Gevent release, since its just not possible to patch
      locks created via instantiated C-level classes:
      
      https://github.com/gevent/gevent/commit/d0e04658
      
      We are doing monkey-patching very early, so it should be safe.
