The function is modeled after traceback.print_exception(), but unbloated,
and put into existing module to save overhead on adding another module.
Compliant traceback.print_exception() is intended to be implemented in
micropython-lib in terms of sys.print_exception().
This change required refactoring mp_obj_print_exception() to take pfenv_t
interface arguments.
Addresses #751.
mp_obj_int_get_truncated is used as a "fast path" int accessor that
doesn't check for overflow and returns the int truncated to the machine
word size, ie mp_int_t.
Use mp_obj_int_get_truncated to fix struct.pack when packing maximum word
sized values.
Addresses issues #779 and #998.
Going from MICROPY_ERROR_REPORTING_NORMAL to
MICROPY_ERROR_REPORTING_TERSE now saves 2020 bytes ROM for ARM Thumb2,
and 2200 bytes ROM for 32-bit x86.
This is about a 2.5% code size reduction for bare-arm.
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.
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).
This happens for example for zero-size arrays. As .get_buffer() method now
has explicit return value, it's enough to distinguish success vs failure
of getting buffer.
Blanket wide to all .c and .h files. Some files originating from ST are
difficult to deal with (license wise) so it was left out of those.
Also merged modpyb.h, modos.h, modstm.h and modtime.h in stmhal/.
When querying an object that supports the buffer protocol, that object
must now return a typecode (as per binary.[ch]). This does not have to
be honoured by the caller, but can be useful for determining element
size.
It has (again) a fast path for ints, and a simplified "slow" path for
everything else.
Also simplify the way str indexing is done (now matches tuple and list).
This adds support for almost everything (the comma isn't currently
supported).
The "unspecified" type with floats also doesn't behave exactly like
python.
Tested under unix with float and double
Spot tested on stmhal
One of the reason for separate "message" (besides still unfulfilled desire to
optimize memory usage) was apparent special handling of exception with
messages by CPython. Well, the message is still just an exception argument,
it just printed specially. Implement that with PRINT_EXC printing format.
Pretty much everyone needs to include map.h, since it's such an integral
part of the Micro Python object implementation. Thus, the definitions
are now in obj.h instead. map.h is removed.
Mostly just a global search and replace. Except rt_is_true which
becomes mp_obj_is_true.
Still would like to tidy up some of the names, but this will do for now.
mp_module_obj_t can now be put in ROM.
Configuration of float type is now similar to longint: can now choose
none, float or double as the implementation.
math module has basic math functions. For STM port, these are not yet
implemented (they are just stub functions).
Each built-in exception is now a type, with base type BaseException.
C exceptions are created by passing a pointer to the exception type to
make an instance of. When raising an exception from the VM, an
instance is created automatically if an exception type is raised (as
opposed to an exception instance).
Exception matching (RT_BINARY_OP_EXCEPTION_MATCH) is now proper.
Handling of parse error changed to match new exceptions.
mp_const_type renamed to mp_type_type for consistency.
Ultimately all static strings should be qstr. This entry in the type
structure is only used for printing error messages (to tell the type of
the bad argument), and printing objects that don't supply a .print method.
Unlike CPython socket, microsocket object already implements stream protocol
(read/write methods), so makefile() just returns object itself. TODO: this
doesn't take care of arguments CPython's makefile() may accept.
__bool__() and __len__() are just the same as __neg__() or __invert__(),
and require efficient dispatching implementation (not requiring search/lookup).
type->unary_op() is just the right choice for this short of adding
standalone virtual method(s) to already big mp_obj_type_t structure.
mp_obj_int_get() can be used when just full resolution of C machine_int_t
is required (returns truncated value of long int). mp_obj_int_get_checked()
will throw exception if Python int value not representable in machine_int_t.
Change state layout in VM so the stack starts at state[0] and grows
upwards. Locals are at the top end of the state and number downwards.
This cleans up a lot of the interface connecting the VM to C: now all
functions that take an array of Micro Python objects are in order (ie no
longer in reverse).
Also clean up C API with keyword arguments (call_n and call_n_kw
replaced with single call method that takes keyword arguments). And now
make_new takes keyword arguments.
emitnative.c has not yet been changed to comply with the new order of
stack layout.
Qstr's are now split into a linked-list of qstr pools. This has 2
benefits: the first pool can be in ROM (huge benefit, since we no longer
use RAM for the core qstrs), and subsequent pools use m_new for the next
pool instead of m_renew (thus avoiding a huge single table for all the
qstrs).
Still would be better to use a hash table, but this scheme takes us part
of the way (eventually convert the pools to hash tables).
Also fixed bug with import.
Also improved the way the module code is referenced (not magic number 1
anymore).
