This actually saves "only" 6K for x86_64 build, as we're still more or less
careful to #ifdef unneeded code. But relying on --gc-sections in a "lazy"
manner would allow to make #ifdef'ing less pervasive (not suggested right
away, but an option for the future).
The time stamp is taken from the RTC for all newly generated
or changed files. RTC must be maintained separately.
The dummy time stamp of Jan 1, 2000 is set in vfs.stat() for the
root directory, avoiding invalid time values.
MicroPython own readline implementation is superior now by providing
automatic indentation and completion (completion for GNU Readline was
never implemented). MICROPY_USE_READLINE=2 also wasn't build for a long
time and probably broken.
If GNU Readline is still beneficial for some cases, it can be achieved
with external wrappers like "rlwrap" (there will be the same level of
functionality, as again, there never was deep integration, like completion
support).
That's arbitrary restriction, in case of embedding, a source file path may
be absolute. For the purpose of filtering out system includes, checking
for ".c" suffix is enough.
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.
Docs are now by default rebuilt from scratch, as required to build
conditionalized (i.e. using only:: directive) docs across different
output types. We have pretty small docset, so that's still rather fast.
However, if that's a concern, incremental rebuilds can be used by
passing "FORCE=" (nothing after =) as a make parameter. This will work
when using the same output type (e.g. only "html").
Based on my experience, there's rather non-zero chance to have an image be
flashed incorrectly. As --verify option is now works well in teh latest
esptool.py, enable it by default.
For modindex_exclude extension, per-port module excludes are also added.
With these changes, it's possible to generate docs for a particular port
devoid of any superfluous and unrelated content, including in indexes and
full-text search - with small caveat: when generating PDF docs after HTML,
or vice-versa cached internal doctree representation (build/*/doctrees/)
must be removed first.
Designed specifically to workaround issues we were facing with generating
multiple conditionalized output docsets from a single master doctree.
Extensions were factored out into a separate project, based on the fact
that many other Sphinx users experience similar or related problems:
