     15 # Other ideas:

     16 #

     17 # - A pickle verifier:  read a pickle and check it exhaustively for

     18 #   well-formedness.  dis() does a lot of this already.

     19 #

     20 # - A protocol identifier:  examine a pickle and return its protocol number

     21 #   (== the highest .proto attr value among all the opcodes in the pickle).

     22 #   dis() already prints this info at the end.

     23 #

     24 # - A pickle optimizer:  for example, tuple-building code is sometimes more

     25 #   elaborate than necessary, catering for the possibility that the tuple

     26 #   is recursive.  Or lots of times a PUT is generated that's never accessed

     27 #   by a later GET.

     30 """
     31 "A pickle" is a program for a virtual pickle machine (PM, but more accurately
     32 called an unpickling machine).  It's a sequence of opcodes, interpreted by the
     33 PM, building an arbitrarily complex Python object.
     34 
     35 For the most part, the PM is very simple:  there are no looping, testing, or
     36 conditional instructions, no arithmetic and no function calls.  Opcodes are
     37 executed once each, from first to last, until a STOP opcode is reached.
     38 
     39 The PM has two data areas, "the stack" and "the memo".
     40 
     41 Many opcodes push Python objects onto the stack; e.g., INT pushes a Python
     42 integer object on the stack, whose value is gotten from a decimal string
     43 literal immediately following the INT opcode in the pickle bytestream.  Other
     44 opcodes take Python objects off the stack.  The result of unpickling is
     45 whatever object is left on the stack when the final STOP opcode is executed.
     46 
     47 The memo is simply an array of objects, or it can be implemented as a dict
     48 mapping little integers to objects.  The memo serves as the PM's "long term
     49 memory", and the little integers indexing the memo are akin to variable
     50 names.  Some opcodes pop a stack object into the memo at a given index,
     51 and others push a memo object at a given index onto the stack again.
     52 
     53 At heart, that's all the PM has.  Subtleties arise for these reasons:
     54 
     55 + Object identity.  Objects can be arbitrarily complex, and subobjects
     56   may be shared (for example, the list [a, a] refers to the same object a
     57   twice).  It can be vital that unpickling recreate an isomorphic object
     58   graph, faithfully reproducing sharing.
     59 
     60 + Recursive objects.  For example, after "L = []; L.append(L)", L is a
     61   list, and L[0] is the same list.  This is related to the object identity
     62   point, and some sequences of pickle opcodes are subtle in order to
     63   get the right result in all cases.
     64 
     65 + Things pickle doesn't know everything about.  Examples of things pickle
     66   does know everything about are Python's builtin scalar and container
     67   types, like ints and tuples.  They generally have opcodes dedicated to
     68   them.  For things like module references and instances of user-defined
     69   classes, pickle's knowledge is limited.  Historically, many enhancements
     70   have been made to the pickle protocol in order to do a better (faster,
     71   and/or more compact) job on those.
     72 
     73 + Backward compatibility and micro-optimization.  As explained below,
     74   pickle opcodes never go away, not even when better ways to do a thing
     75   get invented.  The repertoire of the PM just keeps growing over time.
     76   For example, protocol 0 had two opcodes for building Python integers (INT
     77   and LONG), protocol 1 added three more for more-efficient pickling of short
     78   integers, and protocol 2 added two more for more-efficient pickling of
     79   long integers (before protocol 2, the only ways to pickle a Python long
     80   took time quadratic in the number of digits, for both pickling and
     81   unpickling).  "Opcode bloat" isn't so much a subtlety as a source of
     82   wearying complication.
     83 
     84 
     85 Pickle protocols:
     86 
     87 For compatibility, the meaning of a pickle opcode never changes.  Instead new
     88 pickle opcodes get added, and each version's unpickler can handle all the
     89 pickle opcodes in all protocol versions to date.  So old pickles continue to
     90 be readable forever.  The pickler can generally be told to restrict itself to
     91 the subset of opcodes available under previous protocol versions too, so that
     92 users can create pickles under the current version readable by older
     93 versions.  However, a pickle does not contain its version number embedded
     94 within it.  If an older unpickler tries to read a pickle using a later
     95 protocol, the result is most likely an exception due to seeing an unknown (in
     96 the older unpickler) opcode.
     97 
     98 The original pickle used what's now called "protocol 0", and what was called
     99 "text mode" before Python 2.3.  The entire pickle bytestream is made up of
    100 printable 7-bit ASCII characters, plus the newline character, in protocol 0.
    101 That's why it was called text mode.  Protocol 0 is small and elegant, but
    102 sometimes painfully inefficient.
    103 
    104 The second major set of additions is now called "protocol 1", and was called
    105 "binary mode" before Python 2.3.  This added many opcodes with arguments
    106 consisting of arbitrary bytes, including NUL bytes and unprintable "high bit"
    107 bytes.  Binary mode pickles can be substantially smaller than equivalent
    108 text mode pickles, and sometimes faster too; e.g., BININT represents a 4-byte
    109 int as 4 bytes following the opcode, which is cheaper to unpickle than the
    110 (perhaps) 11-character decimal string attached to INT.  Protocol 1 also added
    111 a number of opcodes that operate on many stack elements at once (like APPENDS
    112 and SETITEMS), and "shortcut" opcodes (like EMPTY_DICT and EMPTY_TUPLE).
    113 
    114 The third major set of additions came in Python 2.3, and is called "protocol
    115 2".  This added:
    116 
    117 - A better way to pickle instances of new-style classes (NEWOBJ).
    118 
    119 - A way for a pickle to identify its protocol (PROTO).
    120 
    121 - Time- and space- efficient pickling of long ints (LONG{1,4}).
    122 
    123 - Shortcuts for small tuples (TUPLE{1,2,3}}.
    124 
    125 - Dedicated opcodes for bools (NEWTRUE, NEWFALSE).
    126 
    127 - The "extension registry", a vector of popular objects that can be pushed
    128   efficiently by index (EXT{1,2,4}).  This is akin to the memo and GET, but
    129   the registry contents are predefined (there's nothing akin to the memo's
    130   PUT).
    131 
    132 Another independent change with Python 2.3 is the abandonment of any
    133 pretense that it might be safe to load pickles received from untrusted
    134 parties -- no sufficient security analysis has been done to guarantee
    135 this and there isn't a use case that warrants the expense of such an
    136 analysis.
    137 
    138 To this end, all tests for __safe_for_unpickling__ or for
    139 copy_reg.safe_constructors are removed from the unpickling code.
    140 References to these variables in the descriptions below are to be seen
    141 as describing unpickling in Python 2.2 and before.

    907       Leading zeroes are never produced for a genuine integer.  The 2.3
    908       (and later) unpicklers special-case these and return bool instead;
    909       earlier unpicklers ignore the leading "0" and return the int.

   1580       module and class name, just as for the GLOBAL opcode (and see
   1581       GLOBAL for more details about that).  self.find_class(module, name)
   1582       is used to get a class object.

   1585       markobject are gathered into a tuple and popped (along with the
   1586       topmost markobject), just as for the TUPLE opcode.
   1587 
   1588       Now it gets complicated.  If all of these are true:
   1589 
   1590         + The argtuple is empty (markobject was at the top of the stack
   1591           at the start).
   1592 
   1593         + It's an old-style class object (the type of the class object is
   1594           ClassType).
   1595 
   1596         + The class object does not have a __getinitargs__ attribute.
   1597 
   1598       then we want to create an old-style class instance without invoking
   1599       its __init__() method (pickle has waffled on this over the years; not
   1600       calling __init__() is current wisdom).  In this case, an instance of
   1601       an old-style dummy class is created, and then we try to rebind its
   1602       __class__ attribute to the desired class object.  If this succeeds,
   1603       the new instance object is pushed on the stack, and we're done.  In
   1604       restricted execution mode it can fail (assignment to __class__ is
   1605       disallowed), and I'm not really sure what happens then -- it looks
   1606       like the code ends up calling the class object's __init__ anyway,
   1607       via falling into the next case.
   1608 
   1609       Else (the argtuple is not empty, it's not an old-style class object,
   1610       or the class object does have a __getinitargs__ attribute), the code
   1611       first insists that the class object have a __safe_for_unpickling__
   1612       attribute.  Unlike as for the __safe_for_unpickling__ check in REDUCE,
   1613       it doesn't matter whether this attribute has a true or false value, it
   1614       only matters whether it exists (XXX this is a bug; cPickle
   1615       requires the attribute to be true).  If __safe_for_unpickling__
   1616       doesn't exist, UnpicklingError is raised.

   1618       Else (the class object does have a __safe_for_unpickling__ attr),
   1619       the class object obtained from INST's arguments is applied to the

   1637       repeatedly if several instances of the same class are created.  This

   1893 
   1894     'pickle' is a file-like object, or string, containing a (at least one)
   1895     pickle.  The pickle is disassembled from the current position, through
   1896     the first STOP opcode encountered.
   1897 
   1898     Optional arg 'out' is a file-like object to which the disassembly is
   1899     printed.  It defaults to sys.stdout.
   1900 
   1901     Optional arg 'memo' is a Python dict, used as the pickle's memo.  It
   1902     may be mutated by dis(), if the pickle contains PUT or BINPUT opcodes.
   1903     Passing the same memo object to another dis() call then allows disassembly
   1904     to proceed across multiple pickles that were all created by the same
   1905     pickler with the same memo.  Ordinarily you don't need to worry about this.
   1906 
   1907     Optional arg indentlevel is the number of blanks by which to indent
   1908     a new MARK level.  It defaults to 4.
   1909 
   1910     In addition to printing the disassembly, some sanity checks are made:
   1911 
   1912     + All embedded opcode arguments "make sense".
   1913 
   1914     + Explicit and implicit pop operations have enough items on the stack.
   1915 
   1916     + When an opcode implicitly refers to a markobject, a markobject is
   1917       actually on the stack.
   1918 
   1919     + A memo entry isn't referenced before it's defined.
   1920 
   1921     + The markobject isn't stored in the memo.
