This way, the native glue code is only compiled if native code is
enabled (which makes complete sense; thanks to Paul Sokolovsky for
the idea).
Should fix issue #834.
The heap allocation is now exactly as it was before the "faster gc
alloc" patch, but it's still nearly as fast. It is fixed by being
careful to always update the "last free block" pointer whenever the heap
changes (eg free or realloc).
Tested on all tests by enabling EXTENSIVE_HEAP_PROFILING in py/gc.c:
old and new allocator have exactly the same behaviour, just the new one
is much faster.
Recent speed up of GC allocation made the GC have a fragmented heap.
This patch restores "original fragmentation behaviour" whilst still
retaining relatively fast allocation. This patch works because there is
always going to be a single block allocated now and then, which advances
the gc_last_free_atb_index pointer often enough so that the whole heap
doesn't need scanning.
Should address issue #836.
With a file with 1 line (and an error on that line), used to show the
line as number 0. Now shows it correctly as line number 1.
But, when line numbers are disabled, it now prints line number 1 for any
line that has an error (instead of 0 as previously). This might end up
being confusing, but requires extra RAM and/or hack logic to make it
print something special in the case of no line numbers.
These functions are generally 1 machine instruction, and are used in
critical code, so makes sense to have them inline.
Also leave these functions uninverted (ie 0 means enable, 1 means
disable) and provide macro constants if you really need to distinguish
the states. This makes for smaller code as well (combined with
inlining).
Applied to teensy port as well.
Because (for Thumb) a function pointer has the LSB set, pointers to
dynamic functions in RAM (eg native, viper or asm functions) were not
being traced by the GC. This patch is a comprehensive fix for this.
Addresses issue #820.
This simple patch gives a very significant speed up for memory allocation
with the GC.
Eg, on PYBv1.0:
tests/basics/dict_del.py: 3.55 seconds -> 1.19 seconds
tests/misc/rge_sm.py: 15.3 seconds -> 2.48 seconds
Multiplication of a tuple, list, str or bytes now yields an empty
sequence (instead of crashing). Addresses issue #799
Also added ability to mult bytes on LHS by integer.
Can now index ranges with integers and slices, and reverse ranges
(although reversing is not very efficient).
Not sure how useful this stuff is, but gets us closer to having all of
Python's builtins.
reversed function now implemented, and works for tuple, list, str, bytes
and user objects with __len__ and __getitem__.
Renamed mp_builtin_len to mp_obj_len to make it publically available (eg
for reversed).
