Allows to iterate over the following without allocating on the heap:
- tuple
- list
- string, bytes
- bytearray, array
- dict (not dict.keys, dict.values, dict.items)
- set, frozenset
Allows to call the following without heap memory:
- all, any, min, max, sum
TODO: still need to allocate stack memory in bytecode for iter_buf.
ipoll() allows to poll streams without allocating any memory: this method
returns an iterator (a poll object itself), and the iterator yields
preallocated "callee-owned tuple" with polling results for each active
stream. The only operation a caller is allowed to do with this tuple is
extracting values from it (storing the tuple as a whole somewhere is
not allowed).
This patch implements support for class methods __delattr__ and __setattr__
for customising attribute access. It is controlled by the config option
MICROPY_PY_DELATTR_SETATTR and is disabled by default.
Updated modbuiltin.c to add conditional support for 3-arg calls to
pow() using MICROPY_PY_BUILTINS_POW3 config parameter. Added support in
objint_mpz.c for for optimised implementation.
This makes unix "uselect" compatible with baremetal "uselect". Previosuly,
unix version accepted file/socket objects, but internally converted that
to file descriptors, and that's what .poll() returned. To acheive new
behavior, file-like objects are stored internally in an array, in addition
to existing array of struct pollfd. This array is created only on first
case of file-like object being passed to .register(). If only raw fd's are
passed, there will be no additional memory used comparing to the original
implementation.
Implementations of persistent-code reader are provided for POSIX systems
and systems using FatFS. Macros to use these are MICROPY_READER_POSIX and
MICROPY_READER_FATFS respectively. If an alternative implementation is
needed then a port can define the function mp_reader_new_file.
Its addition was due to an early exploration on how to add CPython-like
stream interface. It's clear that it's not needed and just takes up
bytes in all ports.
Now, to use frozen bytecode all a port needs to do is define
FROZEN_MPY_DIR to the directory containing the .py files to freeze, and
define MICROPY_MODULE_FROZEN_MPY and MICROPY_QSTR_EXTRA_POOL.
To make its inclusion as frozen modules in multiple ports less magic.
Ports are just expected to symlink 2 files into their scripts/modules
subdirs.
Unix port updated to use this and in general follow frozen modules setup
tested and tried on baremetal ports, where there's "scripts" predefined
dir (overridable with FROZEN_DIR make var), and a user just drops Python
files there.
It's implemented in terms of usleep(), and POSIX doesn't guarantee that
usleep() can sleep for more than a second. This restriction unlikely
applies to any real-world system, but...
In order to have more fine-grained control over how builtin functions are
constructed, the MP_DECLARE_CONST_FUN_OBJ macros are made more specific,
with suffix of _0, _1, _2, _3, _VAR, _VAR_BETEEN or _KW. These names now
match the MP_DEFINE_CONST_FUN_OBJ macros.
