Copy linux/list.h from wendelin.core which copied it from util-linux.git which took it from linux.git at LGPL license state. Here are corresponding links for wendelin.core and util-linux: nexedi/wendelin.core@a0f940ad https://git.kernel.org/cgit/utils/util-linux/util-linux.git/tree/include/list.h?id=v2.25-165-g9138d6f Linked lists will be used in channels implementation in the next patch.

- 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.

Move `ch = py{send,recv}.__self__` to right after case __class__ check. For now both versions - old and new - can work, but when we'll move channel implementations to C the new version will be required to access pychan C-level attribute earlier than where ch is currently initialized.

For clarity to denote that things work at Python level: - casev -> pycasev - case -> pycase - recv -> pyrecv - send -> pysend Channel object is still denoted as `ch` to reduce noise for when chan IO code will be move into libgolang. `ch` will be renamed to `pych` after that.

Change `from golang import chan` to `from golang cimport pychan`; add type annotations where pychan is used. Using pychan at C level will be needed when test code will need to access C-level pychan attributes.

We will need to add C-level attributes to pychan and this requires it to become cdef class. The class is exported because at least _golang_test.pyx will also need to have access to those attributes. If we just do `class pychan` -> `cdef class pychan` e.g. the following starts to break: 1.venv/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/py/_path/local.py:701: in pyimport __import__(modname) golang/__init__.py:174: in <module> from ._golang import \ golang/_golang.pyx:455: in init golang._golang _pychan_send = _pychan_send.__func__ E AttributeError: 'method_descriptor' object has no attribute '__func__' and golang/_golang.pyx:513: in golang._golang.pyselect if im_class(recv) is not pychan: _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ f = <built-in method recv of golang._golang.pychan object at 0x7f7055e57cc8> def im_class(f): > return f.im_class E AttributeError: 'builtin_function_or_method' object has no attribute 'im_class' golang/_pycompat.py:28: AttributeError 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.

Plain test code movement with s/panic/pypanic/ as in golang.pyx panic is already there and means semantically different thing. We need this code to live in pyx world, because when channels implementation will be moved to C, this utilities will need to be adjusted in a way that is not possible to do from Python.

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.

Plain code movement with just s/panic/pypanic/ as in golang.pyx panic is aleady there and means semantically different thing. Moved code, even though it lives in golang.pyx, is still Python code and requires Python runtime and GIL. We'll be splitting channels implementation into nogil world in the following patches.

- 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. This is the first patch that adds Pyx/C++/C-level unit tests and hooks them into golang_test.py .

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++.

- Add sleep functionality to libgolang runtime; - Implement sleep for thread and gevent runtimes. Thread runtime implements sleep independently of GIL, but only for POSIX for now; - Switch golang.time py module into using golang.time pyx module. As we are adding sleep, related functionality to query system about "what is current time?" is also added.

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.

... and everything that whole pygolang depends on in pygolang[all]. The reason we do this: currently golang.perf.benchlib needs NumPy, but it would be not ok to depend whole pygolang on numpy. Similarly pybench needs pytest, but it would be not ok to require pytest unconditionally. Thus allow users to specify what they need from pygolang via extras, like pygolang[x.perf.benchlib] or pygolang[cmd.pybench], with pygolang[all] serving as merge point for all subpackages dependencies. TODO in the future we'll, hopefully, also provide accumulation points, like pygolang[x.perf] which contains everything pygolang[x.perf.*] depends on. Note: core functionality and gpython are provided always unconditionally.

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.

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.

We provide gpython since 32a21d5b (gpython: Python interpreter with support for lightweight threads), and golang module, since the beginning, automatically uses gevent if it was installed via monkey patching.

This currently pass trivially (since time.now = stdtime.now), but will be useful once we get time.now implementation into our hands and move it into Cython.

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.

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) workgroup_raise 275µs ± 2% 264µs ± 2% -3.85% (p=0.000 n=10+10)
