Previous to this patch, a big-int, float or imag constant was interned
(made into a qstr) and then parsed at runtime to create an object each
time it was needed. This is wasteful in RAM and not efficient. Now,
these constants are parsed straight away in the parser and turned into
objects. This allows constants with large numbers of digits (so
addresses issue #1103) and takes us a step closer to #722.
This fixes conversion when float type has more mantissa bits than small int,
and float value has small exponent. This is for example the case of 32-bit
platform using doubles, and converting value of time.time(). Conversion of
floats with larg exponnet is still not handled correctly.
acoshf, asinhf, atanhf were added from musl. mathsincos.c was
split up into its original, separate files (from newlibe-nano-2).
tan was added.
All of the important missing float functions are now implemented,
and pyboard now passes tests/float/math_fun.py (finally!).
See http://bugs.python.org/issue19995 for rationale. As micropython currently
aims for Python 3.3 compatibility I have not changed behaviour, but this
change allows the test suite to be run against a newer Python without having
spurious failures.
Tests in basics (which should probably be renamed to core) should not
rely on float, or import any non-built-in files. This way these tests
can be run when those features are not available.
All test in basics now pass on the pyboard using stmhal port, except for
string-repr which has some issues with character hex printing.
