问题
is there a feautre similar to C macros which lets you reuse code in an inline manner, without creating a seperate scope for that piece of code?
for example:
a=3
def foo():
a=4
foo()
print a
will print 3, however i want it to print 4.
i am aware of solutions involving objects like classes or a global dict, however i'm looking for a more primitive solution (like a function decorator for example) that would simply let me make changes inside the scope of the caller instead.
thank you very much
edit:any solution that requires declaring which variables i'm going to use OR declaring a "namespace" like mutabale objects beforehand is not a solution i'm looking for.
i had made an attempt on my own:
def pgame():
a=3
c=5
print locals()
game(a)
print locals()
class inline_func(object):
def __init__(self, f):
self.f = f
def __call__(self, *args, **kwargs):
return self.f(*args, **kwargs)
#to be @inline_func
def game(b, a=4):
exec("inspect.stack()[3][0].f_locals.update(inspect.stack()[1] [0].f_locals)\nctypes.pythonapi.PyFrame_LocalsToFast(ctypes.py_object(inspect.stack()[3][0]),ctypes.c_int(0))\ninspect.stack()[1][0].f_locals.update(inspect.stack()[3][0].f_locals)\nctypes.pythonapi.PyFrame_LocalsToFast(ctypes.py_object(inspect.stack()[1][0]),ctypes.c_int(0))")
try:
print "your code here"
finally:
exec("inspect.stack()[3][0].f_locals.update(inspect.stack()[1][0].f_locals)\nctypes.pythonapi.PyFrame_LocalsToFast(ctypes.py_object(inspect.stack()[3][0]),ctypes.c_int(0))")
@inline_func
def strip_game(b, a=4):
print "your code here"
but i have ran into a serious problem with how to inject code into strip_game without ruining the debugability of the program, because i had only thought of creating a new code object or using exec, both suffering from some severe problems.
MAJOR EDIT:
ok, so i have something close to a working solution, however i encounter a very wierd problem:

now this seems to work however, i get the following:

your code here

now when i disassemble the functions, i get the following very wierd compilation difference between game and strip_game:
in game:
86 16 LOAD_NAME 0 (locals)
19 CALL_FUNCTION 0
22 PRINT_ITEM
23 PRINT_NEWLINE
87 24 **LOAD_NAME** 1 (c)
27 PRINT_ITEM
28 PRINT_NEWLINE
in strip game:
95 16 LOAD_GLOBAL 0 (locals)
19 CALL_FUNCTION 0
22 PRINT_ITEM
23 PRINT_NEWLINE
96 24 LOAD_GLOBAL 1 (c)
27 PRINT_ITEM
28 PRINT_NEWLINE
why is does this difference occur?
回答1:
In this case, just use the global keyword:
a=3
def foo():
global a
a=4
foo()
print (a)
That modifies the outer scope, if it is global.
If the outer scope is a function, that is done with the nonlocal keyword instead - which was introduced with Python 3.0.
dynamic scoping
Changing the scope of the caller function however, is not a premise of Python, and is a language characteristic.
It can be done. But just by calling private C api's (to bake 'locals' values back into the fast local variables) and is definettely not a good practice.
DOing it through a magic decorator would also be possible, but the decorator would have to rewrite the bytecode in the inner function - by replacing each access to a 'nonlocal' variable by retrieving and updating the value on the caler locals, and, at the end of the function - https://programtalk.com/python-examples/ctypes.pythonapi.PyFrame_LocalsToFast/
Example
So, that said, here is a proof of concept. It is, of course, thread, and async unsafe as hell - but if the attributes in the proxy class are promoted to threadlocals or context-local (pep 555), it should work. it should be easy to adapt this to search for the local-variables to change up on the call stack (so that changes made in a sub-sub-call could change the grandparents locals, just as in dynamic scoped languages)
As stated in the question, there is no need to declare the variables on the caller as anything - they just must be normal local variables. However, this requires the declaration, on the decorated function, the variables I want to change on the caller scope as 'global', so that changing then will go through an object I can customize. If you can't have even this, you will indeed have to resort to rewrite the bytecode on the decorated function, or use the hooks put in place for writing debuggers (setting "trace on" on the code).
nb the exact behavior of changes locals() was specified to the language recently - prior to 3.8, IIRC, - and "locals_to_fast" seems to be an stable enough API - but it might change in the future.

And, pasting all that on an IPython shell:
In [121]: bleh()
original value
new value
(I might add that it felt weird testing that, since the functions that have the local variables changed do not need any decorator, or any special declaration to the variables at all)

def strip_game(b, a=4):
print "inner locals:"

return None
where the acutal code needed lies in the class inline_func and some of the imports (maybe you can make them internal to the class? i'm really not sure)
so what does this whole thing do? well, it makes it so the code for strip_game and game are (nearly) identical, namely:
- it inserts a function prologue which updates the locals of the caller, then adds to locals of the caller to the callee.
- insert a try finally block around the function
- changes every symbol lookup from a global lookup to a normal (name) lookup, after some thought i had realized that this doens't really have any effects
- upon entering the finally block, updates the caller locals.
there are some major pitfalls making things like these, i'll list a few problems i've encountered:
- cpython
compiler_nameopfunction optimizes namespace lookup based on the simplicity of the given function, that means that it will optimize name lookups to global lookups if it can - changing the bytecode means affecting the debug-ability of the program, i had addressed this in the
co_lnotabvariable - for large functions this solution won't work as some of the opcodes would have to use extended_args: namely, the loads of the variables and the try-finally block (this point is solvable by using extended_args anyways...)
thank @jsbueno for putting in the time and pointing me to PyFrame_LocalsToFast.
P.S. this solution works for python 2.7.6, python has some issues when it comes to stability of the API, so for newer versions this might need to be fixed.
