GC for unix/windows builds doesn't make use of the bss section anymore,
so we do not need the (sometimes complicated) build features and code related to it
This build is primarily intended for benchmarking, and may have random
features enabled/disabled to get high scores in synthetic benchmarks.
The intent is to show/prove that MicroPython codebase can compete with
CPython, when configured appropriately. But the main MicroPython aim
still remains to optimize for memory usage (which inevitibly leads to
performance degradation in some areas on some workloads).
Force OSX to compile with clang even if gcc is available
Change LDFLAGS syntax to be compatible with clang
Fix questionable syntax on line 90
Remove extraneous tab character
For the sake of older versions of gcc (and other compilers), don't use
the #warning CPP directive, nor the -Wno-error=cpp option.
Also, fix a strict alias warning in modffi.c for older compilers, and
add a test for ffi module.
Addresses issue #847.
Also provides setraw() function from "tty" module (which in CPython is
implemented in Python). The idea here is that 95% of "termios" module usage
is to set raw mode to allow access to normal serial devices. Then, instead
of exporting gazillion termios symbols, it's better to implement it in C,
and export minimal number of symbols (mostly baud rates and drain values).
The idea is that it should be possible to pass any additional params for
experimentation without need to patch sources (and without need to deviate
from or repeat baseline options).
Some people want to enable even more warnings. Let them do it without putting
burden on everyone. Some people vice versa think that current settings should
be relaxed. In this regard, -Werror is the most problematic, it disallows to
use #warning directive, and disallows to pass configuration settings on make
command lines. Again, until decided how to deal with these globally, allow to
work around these problems locally.
there are special tweaks and paths to be considered. Just provide some
defaults, in case the values are undefined.
- py-version.sh does not need any bash specific features.
- Use libdl only on Linux for now. FreeBSD provides dl*() calls from libc.
This reverts commit 6e76f7bc90.
This patch tries to workaround a previous clang workaround. Instead of going
into workaround of workaround spiral, the original workaround should be tamed.
Without this fix, I get the following error:
CC gccollect.c
gccollect.c: In function ‘gc_helper_get_regs’:
gccollect.c:63:1: error: bp cannot be used in asm here
stat() is bad function to use using FFI, because its ABI is largely private.
To start with, Glibc .so doesn't even have "stat" symbol. Then, layout of
struct stat is too implementation-dependent. So, introduce _os to deal
with stat() and other similar cases.
The autogenerated header files have been moved about, and an extra
include dir has been added, which means you can give a custom
BUILD=newbuilddir option to make, and everything "just works"
Also tidied up the way the different Makefiles build their include-
directory flags
In conjunction with #504 this allows you to do things like:
```shell
make -C unix clean && make -C unix test CC=gcc-4.7
```
all from the top-level micropython directory :-)
Something similar could probably be done for windows/Makefile too, but I don't have a cygwin setup to test with.
Foreign Function Interface module allows to load native dynamic libraries,
call functions and access variables in them. This makes possible to write
interface modules in pure Python.
This module provides thin wrapper around libffi. ctypes compatibility might
be possible to implement on top of this module (though ctypes allow to call
functions without prototypes, which is not supported by libffi (i.e.
implementation would be inefficient))).
With MICROPY_EMIT_X64 and MICROPY_EMIT_THUMB disabled, the respective
emitters and assemblers will not be included in the code. This can
significantly reduce binary size for unix version.
E.g.:
/usr/lib/libreadline.so.4.0: undefined reference to `tgetnum'
/usr/lib/libreadline.so.4.0: undefined reference to `tgoto'
/usr/lib/libreadline.so.4.0: undefined reference to `tgetflag'
/usr/lib/libreadline.so.4.0: undefined reference to `tputs'
/usr/lib/libreadline.so.4.0: undefined reference to `tgetent'
/usr/lib/libreadline.so.4.0: undefined reference to `tgetstr'
Tested on linux too, works.
A big change. Micro Python objects are allocated as individual structs
with the first element being a pointer to the type information (which
is itself an object). This scheme follows CPython. Much more flexible,
not necessarily slower, uses same heap memory, and can allocate objects
statically.
Also change name prefix, from py_ to mp_ (mp for Micro Python).
