| * Define macros for handling SIGFPE. | |
| * Lee Busby, LLNL, November, 1996 | |
| * busby1@llnl.gov | |
| * | |
| ********************************************* | |
| * Overview of the system for handling SIGFPE: | |
| * | |
| * This file (Include/pyfpe.h) defines a couple of "wrapper" macros for | |
| * insertion into your Python C code of choice. Their proper use is | |
| * discussed below. The file Python/pyfpe.c defines a pair of global | |
| * variables PyFPE_jbuf and PyFPE_counter which are used by the signal | |
| * handler for SIGFPE to decide if a particular exception was protected | |
| * by the macros. The signal handler itself, and code for enabling the | |
| * generation of SIGFPE in the first place, is in a (new) Python module | |
| * named fpectl. This module is standard in every respect. It can be loaded | |
| * either statically or dynamically as you choose, and like any other | |
| * Python module, has no effect until you import it. | |
| * | |
| * In the general case, there are three steps toward handling SIGFPE in any | |
| * Python code: | |
| * | |
| * 1) Add the *_PROTECT macros to your C code as required to protect | |
| * dangerous floating point sections. | |
| * | |
| * 2) Turn on the inclusion of the code by adding the ``--with-fpectl'' | |
| * flag at the time you run configure. If the fpectl or other modules | |
| * which use the *_PROTECT macros are to be dynamically loaded, be | |
| * sure they are compiled with WANT_SIGFPE_HANDLER defined. | |
| * | |
| * 3) When python is built and running, import fpectl, and execute | |
| * fpectl.turnon_sigfpe(). This sets up the signal handler and enables | |
| * generation of SIGFPE whenever an exception occurs. From this point | |
| * on, any properly trapped SIGFPE should result in the Python | |
| * FloatingPointError exception. | |
| * | |
| * Step 1 has been done already for the Python kernel code, and should be | |
| * done soon for the NumPy array package. Step 2 is usually done once at | |
| * python install time. Python's behavior with respect to SIGFPE is not | |
| * changed unless you also do step 3. Thus you can control this new | |
| * facility at compile time, or run time, or both. | |
| * | |
| ******************************** | |
| * Using the macros in your code: | |
| * | |
| * static PyObject *foobar(PyObject *self,PyObject *args) | |
| * { | |
| * .... | |
| * PyFPE_START_PROTECT("Error in foobar", return 0) | |
| * result = dangerous_op(somearg1, somearg2, ...); | |
| * PyFPE_END_PROTECT(result) | |
| * .... | |
| * } | |
| * | |
| * If a floating point error occurs in dangerous_op, foobar returns 0 (NULL), | |
| * after setting the associated value of the FloatingPointError exception to | |
| * "Error in foobar". ``Dangerous_op'' can be a single operation, or a block | |
| * of code, function calls, or any combination, so long as no alternate | |
| * return is possible before the PyFPE_END_PROTECT macro is reached. | |
| * | |
| * The macros can only be used in a function context where an error return | |
| * can be recognized as signaling a Python exception. (Generally, most | |
| * functions that return a PyObject * will qualify.) | |
| * | |
| * Guido's original design suggestion for PyFPE_START_PROTECT and | |
| * PyFPE_END_PROTECT had them open and close a local block, with a locally | |
| * defined jmp_buf and jmp_buf pointer. This would allow recursive nesting | |
| * of the macros. The Ansi C standard makes it clear that such local | |
| * variables need to be declared with the "volatile" type qualifier to keep | |
| * setjmp from corrupting their values. Some current implementations seem | |
| * to be more restrictive. For example, the HPUX man page for setjmp says | |
| * | |
| * Upon the return from a setjmp() call caused by a longjmp(), the | |
| * values of any non-static local variables belonging to the routine | |
| * from which setjmp() was called are undefined. Code which depends on | |
| * such values is not guaranteed to be portable. | |
| * | |
| * I therefore decided on a more limited form of nesting, using a counter | |
| * variable (PyFPE_counter) to keep track of any recursion. If an exception | |
| * occurs in an ``inner'' pair of macros, the return will apparently | |
| * come from the outermost level. | |
| * | |

| /* | |
| * This (following) is a heck of a way to decrement a counter. However, | |
| * unless the macro argument is provided, code optimizers will sometimes move | |
| * this statement so that it gets executed *before* the unsafe expression | |
| * which we're trying to protect. That pretty well messes things up, | |
| * of course. | |
| * | |
| * If the expression(s) you're trying to protect don't happen to return a | |
| * value, you will need to manufacture a dummy result just to preserve the | |
| * correct ordering of statements. Note that the macro passes the address | |
| * of its argument (so you need to give it something which is addressable). | |
| * If your expression returns multiple results, pass the last such result | |
| * to PyFPE_END_PROTECT. | |
| * | |
| * Note that PyFPE_dummy returns a double, which is cast to int. | |
| * This seeming insanity is to tickle the Floating Point Unit (FPU). | |
| * If an exception has occurred in a preceding floating point operation, | |
| * some architectures (notably Intel 80x86) will not deliver the interrupt | |
| * until the *next* floating point operation. This is painful if you've | |
| * already decremented PyFPE_counter. | |
