When creating constant mpz's, the length of the mpz must be exactly how
many digits are used (not allocated) otherwise these numbers are not
compatible with dynamically allocated numbers.
Addresses issue #1448.
unix-cpy was originally written to get semantic equivalent with CPython
without writing functional tests. When writing the initial
implementation of uPy it was a long way between lexer and functional
tests, so the half-way test was to make sure that the bytecode was
correct. The idea was that if the uPy bytecode matched CPython 1-1 then
uPy would be proper Python if the bytecodes acted correctly. And having
matching bytecode meant that it was less likely to miss some deep
subtlety in the Python semantics that would require an architectural
change later on.
But that is all history and it no longer makes sense to retain the
ability to output CPython bytecode, because:
1. It outputs CPython 3.3 compatible bytecode. CPython's bytecode
changes from version to version, and seems to have changed quite a bit
in 3.5. There's no point in changing the bytecode output to match
CPython anymore.
2. uPy and CPy do different optimisations to the bytecode which makes it
harder to match.
3. The bytecode tests are not run. They were never part of Travis and
are not run locally anymore.
4. The EMIT_CPYTHON option needs a lot of extra source code which adds
heaps of noise, especially in compile.c.
5. Now that there is an extensive test suite (which tests functionality)
there is no need to match the bytecode. Some very subtle behaviour is
tested with the test suite and passing these tests is a much better
way to stay Python-language compliant, rather than trying to match
CPy bytecode.
- subprocess.check_output can only handle strings on windows, not bytes,
so convert the arguments as such
- the pty module is for posix systems only so skip the tests needing it
in case it is not available
The adapter class "TelnetToSerial" is used to access the Telnet
connection using the same API as with the serial connection. The
function pyboard.run-test() has been removed to made the module
generic and because this small test is no longer needed.
This requires root access. And on recent Linux kernels, with
CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM option enabled, only address ranges listed in
/proc/iomem can be accessed. The above compiled-time option can be
however overriden with boot-time option "iomem=relaxed".
This also removed separate read/write paths - there unlikely would
be a case when they're different.
Previous to this patch each time a bytes object was referenced a new
instance (with the same data) was created. With this patch a single
bytes object is created in the compiler and is loaded directly at execute
time as a true constant (similar to loading bignum and float objects).
This saves on allocating RAM and means that bytes objects can now be
used when the memory manager is locked (eg in interrupts).
The MP_BC_LOAD_CONST_BYTES bytecode was removed as part of this.
Generated bytecode is slightly larger due to storing a pointer to the
bytes object instead of the qstr identifier.
Code size is reduced by about 60 bytes on Thumb2 architectures.
The --pyboard param has been replaced by --target which defaults to
'unix'. Possible values at this moment are 'unix', 'pyboard' and
'wipy'. Now is also possible to select the baud rate of the serial
device when calling the script.
Previous to this patch a call such as list.append(1, 2) would lead to a
seg fault. This is because list.append is a builtin method and the first
argument to such methods is always assumed to have the correct type.
Now, when a builtin method is extracted like this it is wrapped in a
checker object which checks the the type of the first argument before
calling the builtin function.
This feature is contrelled by MICROPY_BUILTIN_METHOD_CHECK_SELF_ARG and
is enabled by default.
See issue #1216.
If heap allocation for the Python-stack of a function fails then we may
as well allocate the Python-stack on the C stack. This will allow to
run more code without using the heap.
Now address comes first, and args related to struct type are groupped next.
Besides clear groupping, should help catch errors eagerly (e.g. forgetting
to pass address will error out).
Also, improve args number checking/reporting overall.
This allows to do "ar[i]" and "ar[i] = val" in viper when ar is a Python
object and i and/or val are native viper types (eg ints).
Patch also includes tests for this feature.
C's printf will pad nan/inf differently to CPython. Our implementation
originally conformed to C, now it conforms to CPython's way.
Tests for this are also added in this patch.
This gets uPy readline working with unix port, with tab completion and
history. GNU readline is still supported, configure using
MICROPY_USE_READLINE variable.
In particular, dates prior to Mar 1, 2000 are screwed up.
The easiest way to see this is to do:
>>> import time
>>> time.localtime(0)
(2000, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 5, 1)
>>> time.localtime(1)
(2000, 1, 2, 233, 197, 197, 6, 2)
With this patch, we instead get:
>>> import time
>>> time.localtime(1)
(2000, 1, 1, 0, 0, 1, 5, 1)
Doh - In C % is NOT a modulo operator, it's a remainder operator.
