Add support for loading tuple literals using
LoadLiteral
. The literal tuple objects willbe constructed during module import time, similar to other literals. Only tuples containing
items of supported literal types can be represented (this includes other tuples).
Add
None
,True
andFalse
to the literals array so that they can be used as tupleliteral items.
Currently tuple literals aren't used for anything. I added some unit tests to check parts
of the implementation.
The primary use case I have in mind is supporting vectorcall APIs which expect a tuple
of keyword argument names. I will implemented this in a separate PR. This will also add
some end-to-end testing for tuple literals.
These could be used to avoid repeatedly constructing tuples with literal values in other
contexts as well.
Use array-based encoding for tuple literal values. We use the literal object array introduced
in #10040 to allow a simple integer-based encoding of heterogeneous tuples. For example,
tuple
('x', 5)
could be encoded like this as three integers:'x'
)5
)
