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.
