This adds a -h option to print the usage help text and adds a new, shorter
error message that is printed when invalid arguments are given. This
behaviour follows CPython (and other tools) more closely.
This commit modifies the usage() function to only print the -v option help
text when MICROPY_DEBUG_PRINTERS is enabled. The -v option requires this
build option to be enabled for it to have any effect.
The usage text is also modified to show the -i and -m options, and also
show that running a command, module or file are mutually exclusive.
This adds support for a MICROPYINSPECT environment variable that works
exactly like PYTHONINSPECT; per CPython docs:
If this is set to a non-empty string it is equivalent to specifying the
-i option.
This variable can also be modified by Python code using os.environ to
force inspect mode on program termination.
When stdout is redirected it is useful to have errors printed to stderr
instead of being redirected.
mp_stderr_print() can't be used in these two instances since the
MicroPython runtime is not running so we use fprintf(stderr) instead.
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.
This commit adds support for sys.settrace, allowing to install Python
handlers to trace execution of Python code. The interface follows CPython
as closely as possible. The feature is disabled by default and can be
enabled via MICROPY_PY_SYS_SETTRACE.
mp_compile no longer takes an emit_opt argument, rather this setting is now
provided by the global default_emit_opt variable.
Now, when -X emit=native is passed as a command-line option, the emitter
will be set for all compiled modules (included imports), not just the
top-level script.
In the future there could be a way to also set this variable from a script.
Fixes issue #4267.
The unix coverage build is now switched fully to the VFS implementation, ie
the uos module is the uos_vfs module. For example, one can now sandbox uPy
to their home directory via:
$ ./micropython_coverage
>>> import uos
>>> uos.umount('/') # unmount existing root VFS
>>> vfs = uos.VfsPosix('/home/user') # create new POSIX VFS
>>> uos.mount(vfs, '/') # mount new POSIX VFS at root
Some filesystem/OS features may no longer work with the coverage build due
to this change, and these need to be gradually fixed.
The standard unix port remains unchanged, it still uses the traditional uos
module which directly accesses the underlying host filesystem.
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.
