      bigarray: In-place .append() · 1245acc9
      Kirill Smelkov authored
      ca064f75 (bigarray: Support resizing in-place) added O(1) in-place
      BigArray.resize() which makes possible for users to append data to BigArray in
      O(δ) time.
      
      But it is easy for people to make off-by-one mistakes when calculating
      indices for append.
      
      So provide a convenient BigArray.append() which simplifies the following
      
          A                               # ZBigArray e.g. of shape       (N, 3)
          values                          # ndarray to append of shape    (δ, 3)
          n, δ = len(A), len(values)      # length of A's major index  =N
          A.resize((n+δ, A.shape[1:]))    # add δ new entries ; now len(A) =N+δ
          A[-δ:] = values                 # set data for last new δ entries
      
      into
      
          A.append(values)

      bigfile/py: We cannot use memoryview for py2 even on 2.7.10 · a5511edf
      Kirill Smelkov authored
      Because numpy.ndarray does not accept it as buffer= argument
      
          https://github.com/numpy/numpy/issues/5935
      
      and our memcpy crashes.
      
      NOTE if we'll need to use memoryview, we can adapt our memcpy to use
      array() directly which works with memoryview, as outlined in the above
      numpy issue.

      bigarray: Teach it how to automatically convert to ndarray (if enough address space is available) · 00db08d6
      Kirill Smelkov authored
      BigArrays can be big - up to 2^64 bytes, and thus in general it is not
      possible to represent whole BigArray as ndarray view, because address
      space is usually smaller on 64bit architectures.
      
      However users often try to pass BigArrays to numpy functions as-is, and
      numpy finds a way to convert, or start converting, BigArray to ndarray -
      via detecting it as a sequence, and extracting elements one-by-one.
      Which is slooooow.
      
      Because of the above, we provide users a well-defined service:
      - if virtual address space is available - we succeed at creating ndarray
        view for whole BigArray, without delay and copying.
      - if not - we report properly the error and give hint how BigArrays have
        to be processed in chunks.
      
      Verifying that big BigArrays cannot be converted to ndarray also tests
      for behaviour and issues fixed in last 5 patches.

      *: It is not safe to use multiply.reduce() - it overflows · 73926487
      Kirill Smelkov authored
      e.g.
      
          In [1]: multiply.reduce((1<<30, 1<<30, 1<<30))
          Out[1]: 0
      
      instead of
      
          In [2]: (1<<30) * (1<<30) * (1<<30)
          Out[2]: 1237940039285380274899124224
      
          In [3]: 1<<90
          Out[3]: 1237940039285380274899124224
      
      also multiply.reduce returns int64, instead of python int:
      
          In [4]: type( multiply.reduce([1,2,3]) )
          Out[4]: numpy.int64
      
      which also leads to overflow-related problems if we further compute with
      this value and other integers and results exceeds int64 - it becomes
      float:
      
          In [5]: idx0_stop = 18446744073709551615
      
          In [6]: stride0   = numpy.int64(1)
      
          In [7]: byte0_stop = idx0_stop * stride0
      
          In [8]: byte0_stop
          Out[8]: 1.8446744073709552e+19
      
      and then it becomes a real problem for BigArray.__getitem__()
      
          wendelin.core/bigarray/__init__.py:326: RuntimeWarning: overflow encountered in long_scalars
            page0_min  = min(byte0_start, byte0_stop+byte0_stride) // pagesize # TODO -> fileh.pagesize
      
      and then
      
          >           vma0 = self._fileh.mmap(page0_min, page0_max-page0_min+1)
          E           TypeError: integer argument expected, got float
      
      ~~~~
      
      So just avoid multiple.reduce() and do our own mul() properly the same
      way sum() is builtin into python, and we avoid overflow-related
      problems.

      bigfile/py: Fix crash in {pyvma,pyfileh}_dealloc() if deallocated object was not fully constructed · 7e6829c7
      Kirill Smelkov authored
      Consider e.g. this for pyvma:
      
          1. in pyfileh_mmap() pyvma is created
      
          2. next fileh_mmap(pyvma, pyfileh, ...) fails
      
          3. we need to deallocate pyvma which was not mapped
      
          4. in pyvma_dealloc() we unmap pyvma unconditionally -> boom.
      
      The same story goes for pyfileh dealloc vs not fully constructing it in
      pyfileh_open().

      bigfile/py: Raise MemoryError for ENOMEM errno · 2cf9073f
      Kirill Smelkov authored
      Currently we always raise RuntimeError for problems, which is
      more-or-less ok for humans, but soon we'll need to distinguish "no
      memory" errors from other error conditions in upper layers in code.
      
      Introduce helper function for choosing appropriate exception type for an
      error - MemoryError for when errno=ENOMEM and RuntimeError otherwise,
      and use it where appropriate.
      
      ( Unfortunately Python does not provide such a helper... )

      As discussion in https://bitbucket.org/pypa/setuptools/issue/313
      unveiled, setuptools do not have to carry setuptools.file_finders
      entrypoint with it in order to support _other_ projects to use
      .file_finders entry point.
      
      In our case it means that is is normal that we have to make sure that
      the group we are going to register entry-point into, exists.
      
      Remove erroneous comments introduced in 11d130d1 (setup: Ensure
      setuptools.file_finders entry-point group is registered).

      bigarray: Test that asarray(BigArray(...)) does not hang · 0e25b01c

      It was hanging with NumPy-1.9 before 425dc5d1 (bigarray: Raise

      That PySequence_Fast(obj)    (with obj being BigArray)
      
      creates iterator on top of obj and before our previous IndexError fix in

      Test explicitly with both NumPy 1.8 and NumPy 1.9, that this construct
      does not hang.

      bigarray: Raise IndexError for out-of-bound element access · 425dc5d1
      Kirill Smelkov authored
      The way BigArray.__getitem__ works for element access is that for e.g.
      
          A[i]
      
      it translates the request to
      
          A[i:i+1]
      
      and remembers to lower the dimensionality at scalar index
      
          dim_adjust = (0,)
      
      so, in full, A[i] is computed this way:
      
          A[i] -> A[i:i+1](0,)
      
      ( it is done this way to unify code for scalar / slice access in
        __getitem__ - see 0c826d5c "BigArray: An ndarray-like on top of
        BigFile memory mappings" )
      
      The code for slice access also has a shortcut - if it sees that slice
      results in empty array (e.g. for out-of-bound slice), we can avoid
      spending time to create a file vma mapping only to create empty view on
      top of it.
      
      In 0c826d5c, that optimization, however forgot to apply the "lower the
      dimensionality" step on top of resulting empty view, and that turned out
      for not raising IndexError for out-of-bounds scalar access:
      
          A = BigArray((10,), uint8)
          In [1]: A[0]
          Out[1]: 0
      
          In [2]: A[1]
          Out[2]: 0
      
          In [3]: A[2]
          Out[3]: 0
      
          In [4]: A[9]
          Out[4]: 0
      
          In [5]: A[10]
          Out[5]: array([], dtype=uint8)
      
      NOTE that A[10] returns empty array instead of raising IndexError.
      
      So do not forget to apply the "reduce dimensionality" step for empty
      views, and this way we get proper IndexError (because for empty view,
      scalar access results in IndexError).
      
      NOTE:
      
      this bug was also preventing for e.g.
      
          list(A)
      
      to work, because list(A) internally works this way:
      
          l = []
          i = iter(A)
          for _ in i:
              l.append(_)
      
      but iterating would not stop after 10 elements - after array end, _ will
      be always array([], dtype=uint8), and thus the loop never finished and
      memory usage grow to infinity.

      bigarray: Be explicit about not-supporting advanced indexing · 4680c0cd
      Kirill Smelkov authored
      In NumPy speak advanced indexing is picking up arbitrarily requested
      elemtnts, e.g.
      
          a = arange(10)
          a[[0,3,2]]  -> array([0, 3, 2])
      
      The way this indexing schem works is - it creates a new array with
      len = len(key), and picks up requested elements sequentially into new
      area.
      
      So it is very not the same as creating _view_ to original array data by
      using basic indexing [1]
      
      BigArray does not support advanced indexing, because its main job is to
      organize an ndarray _view_ backed up by BigFile data and give that view
      to clients, and then it is up to clients how to use that view with full
      numpy api available with it.
      
      So be explicit, and reject advanced indexing in __getitem__ right at the
      beginning.

      bigarray: Support resizing in-place · ca064f75
      Kirill Smelkov authored
      In NumPy, ndarray has .resize() but actually it does a whole array
      copy into newly allocated larger segment which makes e.g. appending O(n).
      
      For BigArray, we don't have that internal constraint NumPy has - to
      keep the array itself contiguously _stored_ (compare to contiguously
      _presented_ in memory). So we can have O(1) resize for big arrays.
      
      NOTE having O(1) resize, here is how O(δ) append can be done:
      
          A                               # ZBigArray e.g. of shape   (N, 3)
          n = len(A)                      # lengh of A's major index  =N
          A.resize((n+δ, A.shape[1:]))    # add δ new entries ; now len(A) =N+δ
          A[-δ:] = <new-data>             # set data for last new δ entries

      Fix build with non-std "python" · a280b53d
      Kirill Smelkov authored
      In 5755a6b3 (Basic setup.py / Makefile to build/install/sdist stuff +
      bigfile.so skeleton) we overlooked one thing:
      
          when tailing from setup.py to make level, we forgot to setup the
          PYTHON env variable properly, and that leads to changing building
          with std python.
      
      Look e.g.
      
          $ python3 setup.py build_ext -i
          running build_ext
          python setup.py ll_build_ext --inplace
          ^^^
      
      which is obviously not correct.
      
      Fix it.
      
      The tox setup we have setup for testing with multiple interpreters
      (7af2b2d7 "Tox setup to test things with py27 & py34 and several
      versions of ZODB") did not caught this, because for every python and
      environment versions tox initializes separate virtualenv, in which
      .../bin/python is a link to chosen python, and this way both python and
      my-selected-for-build-python are the same.

      bigfile/ram_shmfs: Try to support compiling on older systems · 48defba0
      Kirill Smelkov authored
      For example on Debian 7 Wheezy the kernel (linux 3.2) supports holepunching,
      because holepunching was added in linux 2.6.38:
      
          http://git.kernel.org/linus/79124f18b335172e1916075c633745e12dae1dac
      
      but glibc does not provide fallocate mode constants, and compilation fails:
      
          gcc -pthread -fno-strict-aliasing -g -O2 -DNDEBUG -g -fwrapv -O3 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -fPIC -D_GNU_SOURCE -I./include -I./3rdparty/ccan -I./3rdparty/include -I/opt/slapgrid/f2a5f59d0d2b521681b9333ee76a2859/parts/python2.7/include/python2.7 -c bigfile/ram_shmfs.c -o build/temp.linux-x86_64-2.7/bigfile/ram_shmfs.o -std=gnu99 -fplan9-extensions -fvisibility=hidden -Wno-declaration-after-statement -Wno-error=declaration-after-statement
          bigfile/ram_shmfs.c: In function ‘shmfs_drop_memory’:
          bigfile/ram_shmfs.c:135:31: error: ‘FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE’ undeclared (first use in this function)
          bigfile/ram_shmfs.c:135:31: note: each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each function it appears in
          bigfile/ram_shmfs.c:135:54: error: ‘FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE’ undeclared (first use in this function)
          error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1
      
      Try to fix it via fallbacking to provide the needed defines on older systems ourselves.

      Fix build with Python that enables -Werror=declaration-after-statement · e0b25398
      Kirill Smelkov authored
      In C99 declaration after statement is ok, and we explicitly compile with -std=gnu99.
      
      Python >= 3.4 however adds -Werror=declaration-after-statement even for extension
      modules irregardless of their compilation flags:
      
        https://bugs.python.org/issue21121
      
      and the build fails this way:
      
          building 'wendelin.bigfile._bigfile' extension
          creating build/temp.linux-x86_64-3.4
          creating build/temp.linux-x86_64-3.4/bigfile
          creating build/temp.linux-x86_64-3.4/lib
          gcc -pthread -Wno-unused-result -Werror=declaration-after-statement -DNDEBUG -fmessage-length=0 -grecord-gcc-switches -O2 -Wall
      -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fstack-protector -funwind-tables -fasynchronous-unwind-tables -g -DOPENSSL_LOAD_CONF -fPIC -D_GNU_SOURCE

      -std=gnu99 -fplan9-extensions -fvisibility=hidden
          bigfile/_bigfile.c: In function ‘pyfile_new’:
          bigfile/_bigfile.c:679:5: error: ISO C90 forbids mixed declarations and code [-Werror=declaration-after-statement]
               static char *kw_list[] = {"blksize", NULL};
               ^
          cc1: some warnings being treated as errors
          error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1
      
      Ensure we turn off this warning and error because we already rely on compiling in C99 mode.
