Using usual method of virtual method tables. Single virtual method,
ioctl, is defined currently for all operations. This universal and
extensible vtable-based method is also defined as a default MPHAL
GPIO implementation, but a specific port may override it with its
own implementation (e.g. close-ended, but very efficient, e.g. avoiding
virtual method dispatch).
Disabled by default, enabled in unix port. Need for this method easily
pops up when working with text UI/reporting, and coding workalike
manually again and again counter-productive.
Now frozen modules is treated just as a kind of VFS, and all operations
performed on it correspond to operations on normal filesystem. This allows
to support packages properly, and potentially also data files.
This change also have changes to rework frozen bytecode modules support to
use the same framework, but it's not finished (and actually may not work,
as older adhox handling of any type of frozen modules is removed).
Both read and write operations support variants where either a) a single
call is made to the undelying stream implementation and returned buffer
length may be less than requested, or b) calls are repeated until requested
amount of data is collected, shorter amount is returned only in case of
EOF or error.
These operations are available from the level of C support functions to be
used by other C modules to implementations of Python methods to be used in
user-facing objects.
The rationale of these changes is to allow to write concise and robust
code to work with *blocking* streams of types prone to short reads, like
serial interfaces and sockets. Particular object types may select "exact"
vs "once" types of methods depending on their needs. E.g., for sockets,
revc() and send() methods continue to be "once", while read() and write()
thus converted to "exactly" versions.
These changes don't affect non-blocking handling, e.g. trying "exact"
method on the non-blocking socket will return as much data as available
without blocking. No data available is continued to be signaled as None
return value to read() and write().
From the point of view of CPython compatibility, this model is a cross
between its io.RawIOBase and io.BufferedIOBase abstract classes. For
blocking streams, it works as io.BufferedIOBase model (guaranteeing
lack of short reads/writes), while for non-blocking - as io.RawIOBase,
returning None in case of lack of data (instead of raising expensive
exception, as required by io.BufferedIOBase). Such a cross-behavior
should be optimal for MicroPython needs.
Address printed was truncated anyway and in general confusing to outsider.
A line which dumps it is still left in the source, commented, for peculiar
cases when it may be needed (e.g. when running under debugger).
In some compliation enviroments (e.g. mbed online compiler) with
strict standards compliance, <math.h> does not define constants such
as M_PI. Provide fallback definitions of M_E and M_PI where needed.
If an OSError is raised with an integer argument, and that integer
corresponds to an errno, then the string for the errno is used as the
argument to the exception, instead of the integer. Only works if
the uerrno module is enabled.
These are typical consumers of large chunks of memory, so it's useful to
see at least their number (how much memory isn't clearly shown, as the data
for these objects is allocated elsewhere).

vstr_null_terminated_str is almost certainly a vstr finalization operation,
so it should add the requested NUL byte, and not try to pre-allocate more.
The previous implementation could actually allocate double of the buffer
size.
Previous to this patch bignum division and modulo would temporarily
modify the RHS argument to the operation (eg x/y would modify y), but on
return the RHS would be restored to its original value. This is not
allowed because arguments to binary operations are const, and in
particular might live in ROM. The modification was to normalise the arg
(and then unnormalise before returning), and this patch makes it so the
normalisation is done on the fly and the arg is now accessed as read-only.
This change doesn't increase the order complexity of the operation, and
actually reduces code size.
When DIG_SIZE=32, a uint32_t is used to store limbs, and no normalisation
is needed because the MSB is already set, then there will be left and
right shifts (in C) by 32 of a 32-bit variable, leading to undefined
behaviour. This patch fixes this bug.
Also do that only for the first word in a line. The idea is that when you
start up interpreter, high chance that you want to do an import. With this
patch, this can be achieved with "i<tab>".
The type is an unsigned 8-bit value, since bytes objects are exactly
that. And it's also sensible for unicode strings to return unsigned
values when accessed in a byte-wise manner (CPython does not allow this).
While just a websocket is enough for handling terminal part of WebREPL,
handling file transfer operations requires demultiplexing and acting
upon, which is encapsulated in _webrepl class provided by this module,
which wraps a websocket object.
