Supercedes #242
As the first (and primary) step toward full and robust support for comprehension syntax overloading, this PR adds a self-contained module
effectful.internals.disassemblythat performs symbolic execution of the CPython VM bytecode of a compiled generator expression object in order to extract an equivalent Pythonast.AST.It has one public-facing function
disassemblewhich takes a generator expression and returns an AST:This function should satisfy the following:
It currently supports a large subset of valid comprehension syntax in Python 3.12 and 3.13, including filter expressions (e.g.
if predicate(x)in(f(x) for x in xs if predicate(x))), nested loops, nested comprehensions, unpacking, structured data, mixed comprehension types, inline lambdas and more.The main features missing right now from the symbolic executor are conditional expressions (
a if b else c), multipleand/or-based conditions and chained comparisons (e.g.a < b < c), which require handling jumps with a little more care.Remaining tasks:
