This patch allows uPy consts to be bignums, eg:
X = const(1 << 100)
The infrastructure for consts to be a bignum (rather than restricted to
small integers) has been in place for a while, ever since constant folding
was upgraded to allow bignums. It just required a small change (in this
patch) to enable it.
socket.timeout is a subclass of OSError, and using the latter is more
efficient than having a dedicated class. The argument of OSError is
ETIMEDOUT so the error can be distinguished from other kinds of
OSErrors. This follows how the esp8266 port does it.
Since we recently replaced the OSError string messages with simple error
codes, having the uerrno module gets back some user friendly error
messages. The total code size (after removing strings, replacing with
uerrno module) is decreased.
It's configured by MICROPY_PY_UERRNO_ERRORCODE and enabled by default
(since that's the behaviour before this patch).
Without this dict the lookup of errno codes to strings must use the
uerrno module itself.
ftp.c is the only user of this function so making it static in that file
allows it to be inlined. Also, reusing unichar_toupper means we no longer
depend on the C stdlib for toupper, saving about 300 bytes of code space.
This patch introduces the a small framework to track differences between
uPy and CPython. The framework consists of:
- A set of "tests" which test for an individual feature that differs between
uPy and CPy. Each test is like a normal uPy test in the test suite, but
has a special comment at the start with some meta-data: a category (eg
syntax, core language), a human-readable description of the difference, a
cause, and a workaround. Following the meta-data there is a short code
snippet which demonstrates the difference. See tests/cpydiff directory
for the initial set of tests.
- A program (this patch) which runs all the tests (on uPy and CPy) and
generates nicely-formated .rst documenting the differences.
- Integration into the docs build so that everything is automatic, and the
differences appear in a way that is easy for users to read/reference (see
latter commits).
The idea with using this new framework is:
- When a new difference is found it's easy to write a short test for it,
along with a description, and add it to the existing ones. It's also easy
for contributors to submit tests for differences they find.
- When something is no longer different the tool will give an error and
difference can be removed (or promoted to a proper feature test).
These tests are intended to fail, as they provide a programatic record of
differences between uPy and CPython. They also contain a special comment
at the start of the file which has meta-data describing the difference,
including known causes and known workarounds.
