Damien George 9b196cddab Remove mp_obj_type_t.methods entry and use .locals_dict instead.
Originally, .methods was used for methods in a ROM class, and
locals_dict for methods in a user-created class.  That distinction is
unnecessary, and we can use locals_dict for ROM classes now that we have
ROMable maps.

This removes an entry in the bloated mp_obj_type_t struct, saving a word
for each ROM object and each RAM object.  ROM objects that have a
methods table (now a locals_dict) need an extra word in total (removed
the methods pointer (1 word), no longer need the sentinel (2 words), but
now need an mp_obj_dict_t wrapper (4 words)).  But RAM objects save a
word because they never used the methods entry.

Overall the ROM usage is down by a few hundred bytes, and RAM usage is
down 1 word per user-defined type/class.

There is less code (no need to check 2 tables), and now consistent with
the way ROM modules have their tables initialised.

Efficiency is very close to equivaluent.

Damien George c5966128c7 Implement proper exception type hierarchy.
Each built-in exception is now a type, with base type BaseException.
C exceptions are created by passing a pointer to the exception type to
make an instance of.  When raising an exception from the VM, an
instance is created automatically if an exception type is raised (as
opposed to an exception instance).

Exception matching (RT_BINARY_OP_EXCEPTION_MATCH) is now proper.

Handling of parse error changed to match new exceptions.

mp_const_type renamed to mp_type_type for consistency.

Damien George a71c83a1d1 Change mp_obj_type_t.name from const char * to qstr.
Ultimately all static strings should be qstr.  This entry in the type
structure is only used for printing error messages (to tell the type of
the bad argument), and printing objects that don't supply a .print method.

Damien George 70d7a83c74 stm: If SD card inserted on hard reset, it is the medium for USB MSD. 2014-02-13 23:21:02 +00:00
Damien George 23177088d2 stm: Mount SD card on 1:/ if present.
If SD card is present on (soft) reset then it's mounted on 1:/ and files
can be openned using, eg, open('1:/test.txt', 'r'), or 'w' for writing.
