Ports should no longer use pyhelp_print_obj but instead should define
MICROPY_PY_BUILTINS_HELP to 1 and then specify their help text using
MICROPY_PY_BUILTINS_HELP_TEXT.
This happens with some compilers on some architectures, which don't define
size_t as unsigned int. MicroPython's printf() dooesn't support obscure
format specifiers for size_t, so the obvious choice is to explicitly cast
to unsigned, to match %u used in printf().
In order to have more fine-grained control over how builtin functions are
constructed, the MP_DECLARE_CONST_FUN_OBJ macros are made more specific,
with suffix of _0, _1, _2, _3, _VAR, _VAR_BETEEN or _KW. These names now
match the MP_DEFINE_CONST_FUN_OBJ macros.
Now there is just one function to allocate a new vstr, namely vstr_new
(in addition to vstr_init etc). The caller of this function should know
what initial size to allocate for the buffer, or at least have some policy
or config option, instead of leaving it to a default (as it was before).
"Forced exit" is treated as soft-reboot (Ctrl+D). But expected effect of
calling sys.exit() is termination of the current script, not any further
and more serious actions like mentioned soft reboot.
This new config option allows to control whether MicroPython uses its own
internal printf or not (if not, an external one should be linked in).
Accompanying this new option is the inclusion of lib/utils/printf.c in the
core list of source files, so that ports no longer need to include it
themselves.
Helpful when porting existing C libraries to MicroPython. abort()ing in
embedded environment isn't a good idea, so when compiling such library,
-Dabort=abort_ option can be given to redirect standard abort() to this
"safe" version.
gcc 6.1.1 warns when indentation is misleading, and in this case the
formatting of the code really is misleading. So adjust the formatting
to be clear of the meaning of the code.
From https://github.com/pfalcon/berkeley-db-1.xx, which so far contains
pristine 1.85, but will get patches and compile warning fixes going
forward.
Berkeley DB 1.xx is BSD-licensed, and will form the basis of "btree"
simple database module.
Several ports use identical code for the 1-argument form of the builtin
help function. Move this code to a library function to allow easier
re-use by ports.
A port which uses lib/utils/pyexec.c but which does not enable garbage
collection should not need to implement the gc_collect function.
This patch also moves the gc_collect call to after printing the qstr
info. Since qstrs cannot be collected it should not make any difference
to the printed statistics.
The config variable MICROPY_MODULE_FROZEN is now made of two separate
parts: MICROPY_MODULE_FROZEN_STR and MICROPY_MODULE_FROZEN_MPY. This
allows to have none, either or both of frozen strings and frozen mpy
files (aka frozen bytecode).
Before this change, if REPL blocked executing some code, it was possible
to still input new statememts and excuting them, all leading to weird,
and portentially dangerous interaction.
TODO: Current implementation may have issues processing input accumulated
while REPL was blocked.
If MICROPY_FATFS_MAX_SS is defined to power of 2 value between 1024 and
4096, support for dynamic sector size in FatFs will be enabled. Note
that FatFs reserves static buffer of MICROPY_FATFS_MAX_SS size for each
filesystem in use, so that value should be set sparingly.
Initial patch provided by @pfalcon.
This is a convenience function similar to pyexec_file. It should be used
instead of raw mp_parse_compile_execute because the latter does not catch
and report exceptions.
In other words, unix port now uses overriden printf(), instead of using
libc's. This should remove almost all dependency on libc stdio (which
is bloated).
- A single ffcon.h file to configure fatfs settings across ports.
- A single diskio.h file with common drive definitions.
- Removed now reduntand ffconf_template.h.
This patch allows you to stop auto-indent by pressing enter on a second
blank line. Easier than having to use backspace, and prevents new users
from getting stuck in auto-indent mode.
py/mphal.h contains declarations for generic mp_hal_XXX functions, such
as stdio and delay/ticks, which ports should provide definitions for. A
port will also provide mphalport.h with further HAL declarations.
If VT100 support is not available then a given implementation of
mp_hal_erase_line_from_cursor might need to know the number of characters
to erase.
This patch does not change generated code when VT100 is supported, since
compiler can optimise away the argument.
This allows to build libffi from source together with micropython, and is
useful for cross-compilation. Support for this was already merged
previously, to use:
make libffi
make MICROPY_STANDALONE=1
(To both commands appropriate cross-compilition flags can be added).
Use CTRL-E to enter paste mode. Prompt starts with "===" and accepts
all characters verbatim, echoing them back. Only control characters are
CTRL-C which cancels the input and returns to normal REPL, and CTRL-D
which ends the input and executes it. The input is executed as though
it were a file. The input is not added to the prompt history.
4 spaces are added at start of line to match previous indent, and if
previous line ended in colon.
Backspace deletes 4 space if only spaces begin a line.
Configurable via MICROPY_REPL_AUTO_INDENT. Disabled by default.
In particular, dates prior to Mar 1, 2000 are screwed up.
The easiest way to see this is to do:
>>> import time
>>> time.localtime(0)
(2000, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 5, 1)
>>> time.localtime(1)
(2000, 1, 2, 233, 197, 197, 6, 2)
With this patch, we instead get:
>>> import time
>>> time.localtime(1)
(2000, 1, 1, 0, 0, 1, 5, 1)
Doh - In C % is NOT a modulo operator, it's a remainder operator.
Can complete names in the global namespace, as well as a chain of
attributes, eg pyb.Pin.board.<tab> will give a list of all board pins.
Costs 700 bytes ROM on Thumb2 arch, but greatly increases usability of
REPL prompt.
There are lots of cosmetic changes, but this release brings a very
important bug fix:
- Fixed f_unlink() does not remove cluster chain of the file.
With R0.10c if you try to write a file that is too large to fit in the
free space of the drive, the operation fails, you delete the incomplete
file, and it seems to be erased, but the space is not really freed,
because any subsequent write operations fail because the drive is
"still" full. The only way to recover from this is by formatting the
drive. I can confirm that R0.11 fixes the problem.
