Introduction of ports subdirectory where all ports are moved to
The main change in this release is the introduction of a "ports/"
subdirectory at the top-level of the repository, and all of the ports are
moved here. In the process the "stmhal" port is renamed to "stm32" to
better reflect the MCU that it targets. In addition, the STM32 CMSIS and
HAL sources are moved to a new submodule called "stm32lib".
The bytecode has changed in this release, compared to the previous release,
and as a consequence the .mpy version number has increased to version 3.
This means that scripts compiled with the previous mpy-cross must be
recompiled to work with this new version.
There have also been various enhancements and optimisations, such as:
check for valid UTF-8 when creating str objects, support for reverse
special binary operations like __radd__, full domain checking in the math
module, support for floor-division and modulo in the viper emitter,
and addition of stack overflow checking when executing a regex.
The stm32 port sees improved support for F7 MCUs, addition of a new board
B_L475E_IOT01A based on the STM32L475, and support for the Wiznet W5500
chipset along with improved socket behaviour.

This reverts commit 3289b9b7a7.
The commit broke building on MINGW because the filename became
micropython.exe.exe. A proper solution to support more Windows build
environments requires more thought and testing.
Per the comment found here
https://github.com/micropython/micropython-esp32/issues/209#issuecomment-339855157,
this patch adds finaliser code to prevent memory leaks from ussl objects,
which is especially useful when memory for a ussl context is allocated
outside the uPy heap. This patch is in-line with the finaliser code found
in many modsocket implementations for various ports.
This feature is configured via MICROPY_PY_USSL_FINALISER and is disabled by
default because there may be issues using it when the ussl state *is*
allocated on the uPy heap, rather than externally.
This allows to configure support for inplace special methods separately,
similar to "normal" and reverse special methods. This is useful, because
inplace methods are "the most optional" ones, for example, if inplace
methods aren't defined, the operation will be executed using normal
methods instead.
As a caveat, __iadd__ and __isub__ are implemented even if
MICROPY_PY_ALL_INPLACE_SPECIAL_METHODS isn't defined. This is similar
to the state of affairs before binary operations refactor, and allows
to run existing tests even if MICROPY_PY_ALL_INPLACE_SPECIAL_METHODS
isn't defined.
If MICROPY_PY_ALL_SPECIAL_METHODS is defined, actually define all special
methods (still subject to gating by e.g. MICROPY_PY_REVERSE_SPECIAL_METHODS).
This adds quite a number of qstr's, so should be used sparingly.
Update makeqstrdata.py to sort strings starting with "__" to the beginning
of qstr list, so they get low qstr id's, guaranteedly fitting in 8 bits.
Then use this property to further compact op_id => qstr mapping arrays.
Per https://docs.python.org/3/library/sys.html#sys.getsizeof:
getsizeof() calls the object’s __sizeof__ method. Previously, "getsizeof"
was used mostly to save on new qstr, as we don't really support calling
this method on arbitrary objects (so it was used only for reporting).
However, normalize it all now.
Not all compilers/analysers are smart enough to realise that this function
is never called if MICROPY_ERROR_REPORTING is not TERSE, because the logic
in the code uses if statements rather than #if to select whether to call
this function or not (MSC in debug mode is an example of this, but there
are others). So just unconditionally compile this helper function. The
code-base anyway relies on the linker to remove unused functions.
The uos.dupterm() signature and behaviour is updated to reflect the latest
enhancements in the docs. It has minor backwards incompatibility in that
it no longer accepts zero arguments.
The dupterm_rx helper function is moved from esp8266 to extmod and
generalised to support multiple dupterm slots.
A port can specify multiple slots by defining the MICROPY_PY_OS_DUPTERM
config macro to an integer, being the number of slots it wants to have;
0 means to disable the dupterm feature altogether.
The unix and esp8266 ports are updated to work with the new interface and
are otherwise unchanged with respect to functionality.
So that a pointer to it can be passed as a pointer to math_generic_1. This
patch also makes the function work for single and double precision floating
point.
This patch changes how most of the plain math functions are implemented:
there are now two generic math wrapper functions that take a pointer to a
math function (like sin, cos) and perform the necessary conversion to and
from MicroPython types. This helps to reduce code size. The generic
functions can also check for math domain errors in a generic way, by
testing if the result is NaN or infinity combined with finite inputs.
The result is that, with this patch, all math functions now have full
domain error checking (even gamma and lgamma) and code size has decreased
for most ports. Code size changes in bytes for those with the math module
are:
unix x64: -432
unix nanbox: -792
stm32: -88
esp8266: +12
Tests are also added to check domain errors are handled correctly.
This saves a lot of RAM. Fixes#287.
Also fixed compilation of frozen_mpy.c to use supplied make rule rather than
builtin rule (supplied rule suppresses printing out the gcc command line).
Printing "(null)" when a NULL string pointer is passed to %s is a debugging
feature and not a feature that's relied upon by the code. So it only needs
to be compiled in when debugging (such as assert) is enabled, and saves
roughy 30 bytes of code when disabled.
This patch also fixes this NULL check to not do the check if the precision
is specified as zero.
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.
Qstr values fit in 16-bits (and this fact is used elsewhere in the code) so
no need to use more than that for the large lookup tables. The compiler
will anyway give a warning if the qstr values don't fit in 16 bits. Saves
around 80 bytes of code space for Thumb2 archs.
Building mpy-cross: this patch adds .exe to the PROG name when building
executables for host (eg mpy-cross) on Windows. make clean now removes
mpy-cross.exe under Windows.
Building MicroPython: this patch sets MPY_CROSS to mpy-cross.exe or
mpy-cross so they can coexist and use cygwin or WSL without rebuilding
mpy-cross. The dependency in the mpy rule now uses mpy-cross.exe for
Windows and mpy-cross for Linux.
CPython docs explicitly state that the RHS of a set/frozenset binary op
must be a set to prevent user errors. It also preserves commutativity of
the ops, eg: "abc" & set() is a TypeError, and so should be set() & "abc".
This change actually decreases unix (x64) code by 160 bytes; it increases
stm32 by 4 bytes and esp8266 by 28 bytes (but previous patch already
introduced a much large saving).
A lot of set's methods (the mutable ones) are not allowed to operate on a
frozenset, and giving frozenset a separate locals dict with only the
methods that it supports allows to simplify the logic that verifies if
args are a set or a frozenset. Even though the new frozenset locals dict
is relatively large (88 bytes on 32-bit archs) there is a much bigger
saving coming from the removal of a const string for an error message,
along with the removal of some checks for set or frozenset type.
Changes in code size due to this patch are (for ports that changed at all):
unix x64: -56
unix nanbox: -304
stm32: -64
esp8266: -124
cc3200: -40
Apart from the reduced code, frozenset now has better tab-completion
because it only lists the valid methods. And the error message for
accessing an invalid method is now more detailed (it includes the
method name that wasn't found).
This returns a complex number, following CPython behaviour. For ports that
don't have complex numbers enabled this will raise a ValueError which gives
a fail-safe for scripts that were written assuming complex numbers exist.
This adds a new configuration option to print runtime warnings and errors to
stderr. On Unix, CPython prints warnings and unhandled exceptions to stderr,
so the unix port here is configured to use this option.
The unix port already printed unhandled exceptions on the main thread to
stderr. This patch fixes unhandled exceptions on other threads and warnings
(issue #2838) not printing on stderr.
Additionally, a couple tests needed to be fixed to handle this new behavior.
This is done by also capturing stderr when running tests.
Current users of fixed vstr buffers (building file paths) assume that there
is no overflow and do not check for overflow after building the vstr. This
has the potential to lead to NULL pointer dereferences
(when vstr_null_terminated_str returns NULL because it can't allocate RAM
for the terminating byte) and stat'ing and loading invalid path names (due
to the path being truncated). The safest and simplest thing to do in these
cases is just raise an exception if a write goes beyond the end of a fixed
vstr buffer, which is what this patch does. It also simplifies the vstr
code.
The vstr argument to the calls to vstr_add_len are dynamically allocated
(ie fixed_buf=false) and so vstr_add_len will never return NULL. So
there's no need to check for it. Any out-of-memory errors are raised by
the call to m_renew in vstr_ensure_extra.
The aim of this patch is to rewrite the functions that create exception
instances (mp_obj_exception_make_new and mp_obj_new_exception_msg_varg) so
that they do not call any functions that may raise an exception. Otherwise
it's possible to create infinite recursion with an exception being raised
while trying to create an exception object.
The two main things that are done to accomplish this are:
1. Change mp_obj_new_exception_msg_varg to just format the string, then
call mp_obj_exception_make_new to actually create the exception object.
2. In mp_obj_exception_make_new and mp_obj_new_exception_msg_varg try to
allocate all memory first using functions that don't raise exceptions
If any of the memory allocations fail (return NULL) then degrade
gracefully by trying other options for memory allocation, eg using the
emergency exception buffer.
3. Use a custom printer backend to conservatively format strings: if it
can't allocate memory then it just truncates the string.
As part of this rewrite, raising an exception without a message, like
KeyError(123), will now use the emergency buffer to store the arg and
traceback data if there is no heap memory available.
Memory use with this patch is unchanged. Code size is increased by:
bare-arm: +136
minimal x86: +124
unix x64: +72
unix nanbox: +96
stm32: +88
esp8266: +92
cc3200: +80
This allows user classes to implement __abs__ special method, and saves
code size (104 bytes for x86_64), even though during refactor, an issue
was fixed and few optimizations were made:
* abs() of minimum (negative) small int value is calculated properly.
* objint_longlong and objint_mpz avoid allocating new object is the
argument is already non-negative.
If, for class X, X.__add__(Y) doesn't exist (or returns NotImplemented),
try Y.__radd__(X) instead.
This patch could be simpler, but requires undoing operand swap and
operation switch to get non-confusing error message in case __radd__
doesn't exist.
