Updating to Black v20.8b1 there are two changes that affect the code in
this repository:
- If there is a trailing comma in a list (eg [], () or function call) then
that list is now written out with one line per element. So remove such
trailing commas where the list should stay on one line.
- Spaces at the start of """ doc strings are removed.

On ports where normal heap memory can contain executable code (eg ARM-based
ports such as stm32), native code loaded from an .mpy file may be reclaimed
by the GC because there's no reference to the very start of the native
machine code block that is reachable from root pointers (only pointers to
internal parts of the machine code block are reachable, but that doesn't
help the GC find the memory).
This commit fixes this issue by maintaining an explicit list of root
pointers pointing to native code that is loaded from an .mpy file. This
is not needed for all ports so is selectable by the new configuration
option MICROPY_PERSISTENT_CODE_TRACK_RELOC_CODE. It's enabled by default
if a port does not specify any special functions to allocate or commit
executable memory.
A test is included to test that native code loaded from an .mpy file does
not get reclaimed by the GC.
Fixes#6045.

MicroPython's original implementation of __aiter__ was correct for an
earlier (provisional) version of PEP492 (CPython 3.5), where __aiter__ was
an async-def function. But that changed in the final version of PEP492 (in
CPython 3.5.2) where the function was changed to a normal one. See
https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0492/#why-aiter-does-not-return-an-awaitable
See also the note at the end of this subsection in the docs:
https://docs.python.org/3.5/reference/datamodel.html#asynchronous-iterators
And for completeness the BPO: https://bugs.python.org/issue27243
To be consistent with the Python spec as it stands today (and now that
PEP492 is final) this commit changes MicroPython's behaviour to match
CPython: __aiter__ should return an async-iterable object, but is not
itself awaitable.
The relevant tests are updated to match.
See #6267.
Because the argument arrays may overlap, as show by the new tests in this
commit.
Also remove the debugging comments for these macros, add a new comment
about overlapping regions, and separate the macros by blank lines to make
them easier to read.
Fixes issue #6244.

This commit fixes lookups of class members to make it so that built-in
functions that are used as methods/functions of a class work correctly.
The mp_convert_member_lookup() function is pretty much completely changed
by this commit, but for the most part it's just reorganised and the
indenting changed. The functional changes are:
- staticmethod and classmethod checks moved to later in the if-logic,
because they are less common and so should be checked after the more
common cases.
- The explicit mp_obj_is_type(member, &mp_type_type) check is removed
because it's now subsumed by other, more general tests in this function.
- MP_TYPE_FLAG_BINDS_SELF and MP_TYPE_FLAG_BUILTIN_FUN type flags added to
make the checks in this function much simpler (now they just test this
bit in type->flags).
- An extra check is made for mp_obj_is_instance_type(type) to fix lookup of
built-in functions.
Fixes#1326 and #6198.

This addition to the grammar was introduced in Python 3.6. It allows
annotating the type of a varilable, like:
x: int = 123
s: str
The implementation in this commit is quite simple and just ignores the
annotation (the int and str bits above). The reason to implement this is
to allow Python 3.6+ code that uses this feature to compile under
MicroPython without change, and for users to use type checkers.
In the future viper could use this syntax as a way to give types to
variables, which is currently done in a bit of an ad-hoc way, eg
x = int(123). And this syntax could potentially be used in the inline
assembler to define labels in an way that's easier to read.
The syntax matches CPython and the semantics are equivalent except that,
unlike CPython, MicroPython allows using := to assign to comprehension
iteration variables, because disallowing this would take a lot of code to
check for it.
The new compile-time option MICROPY_PY_ASSIGN_EXPR selects this feature and
is enabled by default, following MICROPY_PY_ASYNC_AWAIT.
Formatting for `* sizeof` was fixed in uncrustify v0.71, so we no longer
need the fixups for it. Also, there was one file where the updated
uncrustify caught a problem that the regex didn't pick up, which is updated
in this commit.

Long ago, prior to 0ef01d0a75, fixed and
ordered maps were the same setting with the "table_is_fixed_array" member
of mp_map_t. But these settings are actually independent, and it is
possible to have is_fixed=1, is_ordered=0 (although this can currently
only be done by tools/cc1). So update the comments to reflect this.
The resulting dict is now marked as read-only (is_fixed=1) to enforce the
fact that changes to this dict will not be reflected in the class instance.
This commit reduces code size by about 20 bytes, and should be more
efficient because it creates a direct copy of the dict rather than
reinserting all elements.
The behavior mirrors the instance object dict attribute where a copy of the
local attributes are provided (unless the dict is read-only, then that dict
itself is returned, as an optimisation). MicroPython does not support
modifying this dict because the changes will not be reflected in the class.
The feature is only enabled if MICROPY_CPYTHON_COMPAT is set, the same as
the instance version.
There doesn't appear to be any use for only triggering on specific events,
so it's just easier to number them sequentially. This makes them smaller
values so they take up only 1 byte in the ringbuf, only 1 byte for the
opcode in the bytecode, and makes room for more events.
Also add a couple of new event types that need to be implemented (to avoid
re-numbering later).
And rename _COMPLETE and _STATUS to _DONE for consistency.
In the future the "trigger" keyword argument can be reinstated by requiring
the user to compute the bitmask, eg:
ble.irq(handler, 1 << _IRQ_SCAN_RESULT | 1 << _IRQ_SCAN_DONE)
Older implementations deal with infinity/negative zero incorrectly. This
commit adds generic fixes that can be enabled by any port that needs them,
along with new tests cases.
Otherwise functions like memset might get optimised to call themselves (eg
with gcc 10). And provide CFLAGS_BUILTIN so these options can be changed
by a port if needed.
Fixes issue #6053.
Constant expression like "2 ** 3" will now be folded, and the special form
"X = const(2 ** 3)" will now compile because the argument to the const is
now a constant.
Fixes issue #5865.
This allows user code that inherits from uio.IOBase to return an errno
error code from the user readinto/write function, by returning a negative
value. Eg returning -123 means an errno of 123. This is already how the
custom ioctl works.
This change is made for two reasons:
1. A 3rd-party library (eg berkeley-db-1.xx, axtls) may use the system
provided errno for certain errors, and yet MicroPython stream objects
that it calls will be using the internal mp_stream_errno. So if the
library returns an error it is not known whether the corresponding errno
code is stored in the system errno or mp_stream_errno. Using the system
errno in all cases (eg in the mp_stream_posix_XXX wrappers) fixes this
ambiguity.
2. For systems that have threading the system-provided errno should always
be used because the errno value is thread-local.
For systems that do not have an errno, the new lib/embed/__errno.c file is
provided.
Note: the uncrustify configuration is explicitly set to 'add' instead of
'force' in order not to alter the comments which use extra spaces after //
as a means of indenting text for clarity.
Error string compression is not deterministic in certain cases: it depends
on the Python version (whether dicts are ordered by default or not) and
probably also the order files are passed to this script, leading to a
difference in which words are included in the top 128 most common.
The changes in this commit use OrderedDict to keep parsed lines in a known
order, and, when computing how many bytes are saved by a given word, it
uses the word itself to break ties (which would otherwise be "random").
For combinations of certain versions of glibc and gcc the definition of
fpclassify always takes float as argument instead of adapting itself to
float/double/long double as required by the C99 standard. At the time of
writing this happens for instance for glibc 2.27 with gcc 7.5.0 when
compiled with -Os and glibc 3.0.7 with gcc 9.3.0. When calling fpclassify
with double as argument, as in objint.c, this results in an implicit
narrowing conversion which is not really correct plus results in a warning
when compiled with -Wfloat-conversion. So fix this by spelling out the
logic manually.
Initially some of these were found building the unix coverage variant on
MacOS because that build uses clang and has -Wdouble-promotion enabled, and
clang performs more vigorous promotion checks than gcc. Additionally the
codebase has been compiled with clang and msvc (the latter with warning
level 3), and with MICROPY_FLOAT_IMPL_FLOAT to find the rest of the
conversions.
Fixes are implemented either as explicit casts, or by using the correct
type, or by using one of the utility functions to handle floating point
casting; these have been moved from nativeglue.c to the public API.
This commit provides a typedef for mp_rom_error_text_t, and a macro define
for MP_COMPRESSED_ROM_TEXT, when MICROPY_ROM_TEXT_COMPRESSION is disabled.
This simplifies the configuration (it no longer has a special case for
MICROPY_ENABLE_DYNRUNTIME) and makes it work for other cases that don't use
compression (eg examples/embedding). This commit also ensures
MICROPY_ROM_TEXT_COMPRESSION is defined during qstr processing.
Now that error string compression is supported it's more important to have
consistent error string formatting (eg all lowercase English words,
consistent contractions). This commit cleans up some of the strings to
make them more consistent.
Because the atomic section starts after checking whether the scheduler
state is pending, it's possible it can become a different state by the time
the atomic section starts.
This is especially likely on ports where MICROPY_BEGIN_ATOMIC_SECTION is
implemented with a mutex (i.e. it might block), but the race exists
regardless, i.e. if a context switch occurs between those two lines.
TimeoutError was added back in 077812b2ab for
the cc3200 port. In f522849a4d the cc3200
port enabled use of it in the socket module aliased to socket.timeout. So
it was never added to the builtins. Then it was replaced by
OSError(ETIMEDOUT) in 047af9b10b.
The esp32 port enables this exception, since the very beginning of that
port, but it could never be accessed because it's not in builtins.
It's being removed: 1) to not encourage its use; 2) because there are a lot
of other OSError subclasses which are not defined at all, and having
TimeoutError is a bit inconsistent.
Note that ports can add anything to the builtins via MICROPY_PORT_BUILTINS.
And they can also define their own exceptions using the
MP_DEFINE_EXCEPTION() macro.
In this part of the code there is no way to get the ** operator, so no need
to check for it.
This commit also adds tests for this, and other related, invalid const
operations.
The decompression of error-strings is only done if the string is accessed
via printing or via er.args. Tests are added for this feature to ensure
the decompression works.
The idea here is that there's a moderate amount of ROM used up by exception
text. Obviously we try to keep the messages short, and the code can enable
terse errors, but it still adds up. Listed below is the total string data
size for various ports:
bare-arm 2860
minimal 2876
stm32 8926 (PYBV11)
cc3200 3751
esp32 5721
This commit implements compression of these strings. It takes advantage of
the fact that these strings are all 7-bit ascii and extracts the top 128
frequently used words from the messages and stores them packed (dropping
their null-terminator), then uses (0x80 | index) inside strings to refer to
these common words. Spaces are automatically added around words, saving
more bytes. This happens transparently in the build process, mirroring the
steps that are used to generate the QSTR data. The MP_COMPRESSED_ROM_TEXT
macro wraps any literal string that should compressed, and it's
automatically decompressed in mp_decompress_rom_string.
There are many schemes that could be used for the compression, and some are
included in py/makecompresseddata.py for reference (space, Huffman, ngram,
common word). Results showed that the common-word compression gets better
results. This is before counting the increased cost of the Huffman
decoder. This might be slightly counter-intuitive, but this data is
extremely repetitive at a word-level, and the byte-level entropy coder
can't quite exploit that as efficiently. Ideally one would combine both
approaches, but for now the common-word approach is the one that is used.
For additional comparison, the size of the raw data compressed with gzip
and zlib is calculated, as a sort of proxy for a lower entropy bound. With
this scheme we come within 15% on stm32, and 30% on bare-arm (i.e. we use
x% more bytes than the data compressed with gzip -- not counting the code
overhead of a decoder, and how this would be hypothetically implemented).
The feature is disabled by default and can be enabled by setting
MICROPY_ROM_TEXT_COMPRESSION at the Makefile-level.
Instead of compiler-level if-logic. This is necessary to know what error
strings are included in the build at the preprocessor stage, so that string
compression can be implemented.
These were found by buiding the unix coverage variant on macOS (so clang
compiler). Mostly, these are fixing implicit cast of float/double to
mp_float_t which is one of those two and one mp_int_t to size_t fix for
good measure.
Implements Task and TaskQueue classes in C, using a pairing-heap data
structure. Using this reduces RAM use of each Task, and improves overall
performance of the uasyncio scheduler.
To enable lazy loading of submodules (among other things), which is very
useful for MicroPython libraries that want to have optional subcomponents.
Disabled explicitly on minimal ports.
This commit adds micropython.heap_locked() which returns the current
lock-depth of the heap, and can be used by Python code to check if the heap
is locked or not. This new function is configured via
MICROPY_PY_MICROPYTHON_HEAP_LOCKED and is disabled by default.
This commit also changes the return value of micropython.heap_unlock() so
it returns the current lock-depth as well.
This eliminates the need for the sizeof regex fixup by rearranging things a
bit. All other bitfields already use the parentheses around expressions
with sizeof, so one case is fixed by following this convention.
VM_MAX_STATE_ON_STACK is the only remaining problem and it can be worked
around by changing the order of the operands.
The double-% was added in 11de8399fe (Jun
2014) when such errors were formatted with printf. But then
55830dd9bf (Dec 2018) changed
mp_obj_new_exception_msg() to not format the message, as discussed
in #3004. So such error strings are no longer formatted and a % is just
that.
This string is recognised by uncrustify, to disable formatting in the
region marked by these comments. This is necessary in the qstrdef*.h files
to prevent modification of the strings within the Q(...). In other places
it is used to prevent excessive reformatting that would make the code less
readable.
And rename it to mp_obj_cast_to_native_base() to indicate this. This
allows users of this function to easily support native and native-subclass
objects in the same way (by just passing the object through this function).
Since commit 3aab54bf43 this piece of code is
no longer needed because the top-level function mp_obj_equal_not_equal()
now handles the case of user types, and will never call tuple's binary_op
function with MP_BINARY_OP_EQUAL and a non-tuple on the RHS.
Follow up to recent commit ad7213d3c3, the
name "varg2" is misleading, vlist describes better that the argument is a
va_list. This name also matches CircuitPython, which already has such
helper functions.
This provides a more consistent C-level API to raise exceptions, ie moving
away from nlr_raise towards mp_raise_XXX. It also reduces code size by a
small amount on some ports.
Both bool and namedtuple will check against other types for equality; int,
float and complex for bool, and tuple for namedtuple. So to make them work
after the recent commit 3aab54bf43 they would
need MP_TYPE_FLAG_NEEDS_FULL_EQ_TEST set. But that makes all bool and
namedtuple equality checks less efficient because mp_obj_equal_not_equal()
could no longer short-cut x==x, and would need to try __ne__. To improve
this, this commit splits the MP_TYPE_FLAG_NEEDS_FULL_EQ_TEST flags into 3
separate flags to give types more fine-grained control over how their
equality behaves. These new flags are then used to fix bool and namedtuple
equality.
Fixes issue #5615 and #5620.
This is a more logical place to clear the KeyboardInterrupt traceback,
right before it is set as a pending exception. The clearing is also
optimised from a function call to a simple store of NULL.
Functions like mp_keyboard_interrupt() may need to be called from an IRQ
handler and may need to be in a special memory section, so provide a
generic wrapping macro for a port to do this. The macro name is chosen to
be MICROPY_WRAP_<function name in uppercase> so that (in the future with
more wrappers) each function could potentially be handled separately.
This function is tightly coupled to the state and behaviour of the
scheduler, and is a core part of the runtime: to schedule a pending
exception. So move it there.
Previous behaviour is when this argument is set to "true", in which case
the function will raise any pending exception. Setting it to "false" will
cancel any pending exception.
A 'return' statement on module/class level is not correct Python, but
nothing terribly bad happens when it's allowed. So remove the check unless
MICROPY_CPYTHON_COMPAT is on.
This is similar to MicroPython's treatment of 'import *' in functions
(except 'return' has unsurprising behavior if it's allowed).
This commit implements a more complete replication of CPython's behaviour
for equality and inequality testing of objects. This addresses the issues
discussed in #5382 and a few other inconsistencies. Improvements over the
old code include:
- Support for returning non-boolean results from comparisons (as used by
numpy and others).
- Support for non-reflexive equality tests.
- Preferential use of __ne__ methods and MP_BINARY_OP_NOT_EQUAL binary
operators for inequality tests, when available.
- Fallback to op2 == op1 or op2 != op1 when op1 does not implement the
(in)equality operators.
The scheme here makes use of a new flag, MP_TYPE_FLAG_NEEDS_FULL_EQ_TEST,
in the flags word of mp_obj_type_t to indicate if various shortcuts can or
cannot be used when performing equality and inequality tests. Currently
four built-in classes have the flag set: float and complex are
non-reflexive (since nan != nan) while bytearray and frozenszet instances
can equal other builtin class instances (bytes and set respectively). The
flag is also set for any new class defined by the user.
This commit also includes a more comprehensive set of tests for the
behaviour of (in)equality operators implemented in special methods.
This modifies the signature of mp_thread_set_state() to use
mp_state_thread_t* instead of void*. This matches the return type of
mp_thread_get_state(), which returns the same value.
`struct _mp_state_thread_t;` had to be moved before
`#include <mpthreadport.h>` since the stm32 port uses it in its
mpthreadport.h file.
The loop searches backwards for a target, but doesn't stop after finding
the first result, meaning that it'll always end up at the outermost
exception handler.
This previously made the native emitter incompatible with the bytecode
emitter, and mp_resume (and subsequently mp_obj_generator_resume) expects
the bytecode emitter behavior (i.e. throw==NULL).
Commit d96cfd13e3 introduced a regression in
testing for bool objects, that such objects were in some cases no longer
recognised and bools, eg when using mp_obj_is_type(o, &mp_type_bool), or
mp_obj_is_integer(o).
This commit fixes that problem by adding mp_obj_is_bool(o). Builds with
MICROPY_OBJ_IMMEDIATE_OBJS enabled check if the object is any of the const
True or False objects. Builds without it use the old method of ->type
checking, which compiles to smaller code (compared with the former
mentioned method).
Fixes#5538.
When threads and the GIL are enabled, then the qstr mutex is not needed.
The qstr_mutex field is never used in this case because of:
#if MICROPY_PY_THREAD && !MICROPY_PY_THREAD_GIL
#define QSTR_ENTER() mp_thread_mutex_lock(&MP_STATE_VM(qstr_mutex), 1)
#define QSTR_EXIT() mp_thread_mutex_unlock(&MP_STATE_VM(qstr_mutex))
#else
#define QSTR_ENTER()
#define QSTR_EXIT()
#endif
So, we can completely remove qstr_mutex everywhere when MICROPY_PY_THREAD
&& !MICROPY_PY_THREAD_GIL.
When threads and the GIL are enabled, then the GC mutex is not needed. The
gc_mutex field is never used in this case because of:
#if MICROPY_PY_THREAD && !MICROPY_PY_THREAD_GIL
#define GC_ENTER() mp_thread_mutex_lock(&MP_STATE_MEM(gc_mutex), 1)
#define GC_EXIT() mp_thread_mutex_unlock(&MP_STATE_MEM(gc_mutex))
#else
#define GC_ENTER()
#define GC_EXIT()
#endif
So, we can completely remove gc_mutex everywhere when MICROPY_PY_THREAD
&& !MICROPY_PY_THREAD_GIL.
Can be used where mp_obj_int_get_checked() will overflow due to the
sign-bit solely. This returns an mp_uint_t, so it also verifies the given
integer is not negative.
Currently implemented only for mpz configurations.
This function is called often and with immediate objects enabled it has
more cases, so optimise it for speed. With this optimisation the runtime
is now slightly faster with immediate objects enabled than with them
disabled.
This option (enabled by default for object representation A, B, C) makes
None/False/True objects immediate objects, ie they are no longer a concrete
object in ROM but are rather just values, eg None=0x6 for representation A.
Doing this saves a considerable amount of code size, due to these objects
being widely used:
bare-arm: -392 -0.591%
minimal x86: -252 -0.170% [incl +52(data)]
unix x64: -624 -0.125% [incl -128(data)]
unix nanbox: +0 +0.000%

Thanks go to @Jongy aka Yonatan Goldschmidt for the idea.
This commit adjusts the definition of qstr encoding in all object
representations by taking a single bit from the qstr space and using it to
distinguish between qstrs and a new kind of literal object: immediate
objects. In other words, the qstr space is divided in two pieces, one half
for qstrs and the other half for immediate objects.
There is still enough room for qstr values (29 bits in representation A on
a 32-bit architecture, and 19 bits in representation C) and the new
immediate objects can be used for things like None, False and True.
This moves the MICROPY_PORT_INIT_FUNC hook to the end of mp_init(), just
before MP_THREAD_GIL_ENTER(), so that everything (in particular the GIL
mutex) is intialized before the hook is called. MICROPY_PORT_DEINIT_FUNC
is also moved to be symmetric (but there is no functional change there).
If a port needs to perform initialisation earlier than
MICROPY_PORT_INIT_FUNC then it can do it before calling mp_init().
This commit adds backward-word, backward-kill-word, forward-word,
forward-kill-word sequences for the REPL, with bindings to Alt+F, Alt+B,
Alt+D and Alt+Backspace respectively. It is disabled by default and can be
enabled via MICROPY_REPL_EMACS_WORDS_MOVE.
Further enabling MICROPY_REPL_EMACS_EXTRA_WORDS_MOVE adds extra bindings
for these new sequences: Ctrl+Right, Ctrl+Left and Ctrl+W.
The features are enabled on unix micropython-coverage and micropython-dev.
Most types are in rodata/ROM, and mp_obj_base_t.type is a constant pointer,
so enforce this const-ness throughout the code base. If a type ever needs
to be modified (eg a user type) then a simple cast can be used.
Instances of the slice class are passed to __getitem__() on objects when
the user indexes them with a slice. In practice the majority of the time
(other than passing it on untouched) is to work out what the slice means in
the context of an array dimension of a particular length. Since Python 2.3
there has been a method on the slice class, indices(), that takes a
dimension length and returns the real start, stop and step, accounting for
missing or negative values in the slice spec. This commit implements such
a indices() method on the slice class.
It is configurable at compile-time via MICROPY_PY_BUILTINS_SLICE_INDICES,
disabled by default, enabled on unix, stm32 and esp32 ports.
This commit also adds new tests for slice indices and for slicing unicode
strings.
In CPython, EnvironmentError and IOError are now aliases of OSError so no
need to have them listed in the code. OverflowError inherits from
ArithmeticError because it's intended to be raised "when the result of an
arithmetic operation is too large to be represented" (per CPython docs),
and MicroPython aims to match the CPython exception hierarchy.
For the 3 ports that already make use of this feature (stm32, nrf and
teensy) this doesn't make any difference, it just allows to disable it from
now on.
For other ports that use pyexec, this decreases code size because the debug
printing code is dead (it can't be enabled) but the compiler can't deduce
that, so code is still emitted.
The qst value is always small enough to fit in 31-bits (even less) and
using a 32-bit shift rather than a 64-bit shift reduces code size by about
300 bytes.
A user-defined type that defines __iter__ doesn't need any memory to be
pre-allocated for its iterator (because it can't use such memory). So
optimise for this case by not allocating the iter-buf.
In commit 71a3d6ec3b mp_setup_code_state was
changed from a 5-arg function to a 4-arg function, and at that point 5-arg
calls in native code were no longer needed. See also commit
4f9842ad80.
Allows assigning attributes on class instances that implement their own
__setattr__. Both object.__setattr__ and super(A, b).__setattr__ will work
with this commit.
This makes the loading of viper-code-with-relocations a bit neater and
easier to understand, by treating the rodata/bss like a special object to
be loaded into the constant table (which is how it behaves).
We don't want to add a feature flag to .mpy files that indicate float
support because it will get complex and difficult to use. Instead the .mpy
is built using whatever precision it chooses (float or double) and the
native glue API will convert between this choice and what the host runtime
actually uses.
This commit adds a new tool called mpy_ld.py which is essentially a linker
that builds .mpy files directly from .o files. A new header file
(dynruntime.h) and makefile fragment (dynruntime.mk) are also included
which allow building .mpy files from C source code. Such .mpy files can
then be dynamically imported as though they were a normal Python module,
even though they are implemented in C.
Converting .o files directly (rather than pre-linked .elf files) allows the
resulting .mpy to be more efficient because it has more control over the
relocations; for example it can skip PLT indirection. Doing it this way
also allows supporting more architectures, such as Xtensa which has
specific needs for position-independent code and the GOT.
The tool supports targets of x86, x86-64, ARM Thumb and Xtensa (windowed
and non-windowed). BSS, text and rodata sections are supported, with
relocations to all internal sections and symbols, as well as relocations to
some external symbols (defined by dynruntime.h), and linking of qstrs.
