Addition of GIL EXIT/ENTER pairs are:
- modos: release the GIL during system calls. CPython does this as well.
- moduselect: release the GIL during the poll() syscall. This call can be
blocking, so it is important to allow other threads to run at this time.
- modusocket: release the GIL during system calls. Many of these calls can
be blocking, so it is important to allow other threads to run.
- unix_mphal: release the GIL during the read and write syscalls in
mp_hal_stdin_rx_chr and mp_hal_stdout_tx_strn. If we don't do this
threads are blocked when the REPL or the builtin input function are used.
- file, main, mpconfigport.h: release GIL during syscalls in built-in
functions that could block.
The existing uos.remove cannot be used to remove directories, instead
uos.rmdir is needed. And also provide uos.rename to get a good set of
filesystem functionality without requiring additional Python-level os
functions (eg using ffi).
We standardized to provide uos.remove() as a more obvious and user-friendly
name. That's what written in the docs. The Unix port implementation
predates this convention, so update it now.
If DTTOIF() macro is not defined, the code refers to MP_S_IFDIR, etc.
symbols defined in extmod/vfs.h, so should include it.
This fixes build for Android.
Now that the coverage build has fully switched to the VFS sub-system these
functions were no longer available, so add them to the uos_vfs module.
Also, vfs_open is no longer needed, it's available as the built-in open.
This patch simplifies the str creation API to favour the common case of
creating a str object that is not forced to be interned. To force
interning of a new str the new mp_obj_new_str_via_qstr function is added,
and should only be used if warranted.
Apart from simplifying the mp_obj_new_str function (and making it have the
same signature as mp_obj_new_bytes), this patch also reduces code size by a
bit (-16 bytes for bare-arm and roughly -40 bytes on the bare-metal archs).
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.
This is to keep the top-level directory clean, to make it clear what is
core and what is a port, and to allow the repository to grow with new ports
in a sustainable way.
