No functionality change is intended with this commit, it just consolidates
the separate implementations of GC helper code to the lib/utils/ directory
as a general set of helper functions useful for any port. This reduces
duplication of code, and makes it easier for future ports or embedders to
get the GC implementation correct.
Ports should now link against gchelper_native.c and either gchelper_m0.s or
gchelper_m3.s (currently only Cortex-M is supported but other architectures
can follow), or use the fallback gchelper_generic.c which will work on
x86/x64/ARM.
The gc_helper_get_sp function from gchelper_m3.s is not really GC related
and was only used by cc3200, so it has been moved to that port and renamed
to cortex_m3_get_sp.
Adds support for 3 Cortex-M boards, selectable via "BOARD" in the Makefile:
- microbit, Cortex-M0 via nRF51822
- netduino2, Cortex-M3 via STM32F205
- mps2-an385, Cortex-M3 via FPGA
netduino2 is the default board because it's supported by older qemu
versions (down to at least 2.5.0).
The way tinytest was used in qemu-arm test target is that it didn't test
much. MicroPython tests are based on matching the test output against
reference output, but qemu-arm's implementation didn't do that, it
effectively tested just that there was no exception during test
execution. "upytesthelper" wrapper was introduce to fix it, so switch
test implementation to use it.
This requires passing different CFLAGS when building the firmware, so
split out test-related parts to Makefile.test.
Command-line argc and argv should be passed, and as we don't have them,
placeholders were passed, but incorrectly. As we don't have them, just
pass 0/NULL. Looking at the source, this migh lead to problems under
Windows, but this test doesn't run under Windows.
Also, use "%d" printf format consistently with the rest of the codebase.
Header files that are considered internal to the py core and should not
normally be included directly are:
py/nlr.h - internal nlr configuration and declarations
py/bc0.h - contains bytecode macro definitions
py/runtime0.h - contains basic runtime enums
Instead, the top-level header files to include are one of:
py/obj.h - includes runtime0.h and defines everything to use the
mp_obj_t type
py/runtime.h - includes mpstate.h and hence nlr.h, obj.h, runtime0.h,
and defines everything to use the general runtime support functions
Additional, specific headers (eg py/objlist.h) can be included if needed.
This is to keep the top-level directory clean, to make it clear what is
core and what is a port, and to allow the repository to grow with new ports
in a sustainable way.
