No functionality change is intended with this commit, it just consolidates
the separate implementations of GC helper code to the lib/utils/ directory
as a general set of helper functions useful for any port. This reduces
duplication of code, and makes it easier for future ports or embedders to
get the GC implementation correct.
Ports should now link against gchelper_native.c and either gchelper_m0.s or
gchelper_m3.s (currently only Cortex-M is supported but other architectures
can follow), or use the fallback gchelper_generic.c which will work on
x86/x64/ARM.
The gc_helper_get_sp function from gchelper_m3.s is not really GC related
and was only used by cc3200, so it has been moved to that port and renamed
to cortex_m3_get_sp.
Add -Wdouble-promotion and -Wfloat-conversion for most ports to ban out
implicit floating point conversions, and add extra Travis builds using
MICROPY_FLOAT_IMPL_FLOAT to uncover warnings which weren't found
previously. For the unix port -Wsign-comparison is added as well but only
there since only clang supports this but gcc doesn't.
If this is not set it might default to calls to open() to use text mode
which is usually not wanted, and even wrong and leading to incorrect
results when loading binary .mpy files.
This also means that text files written and read will not have line-ending
translation from \n to \r\n and vice-versa anymore. This shouldn't be much
of a problem though since most tools dealing with text files adapt
automatically to any of the 2 formats.
Printing debugging info by defining MICROPY_DEBUG_VERBOSE expects
a definition of the DEBUG_printf function which is readily available
in printf.c so include that file in the build. Before this patch
one would have to manually provide such definition which is tedious.
For the msvc port disable MICROPY_USE_INTERNAL_PRINTF though: the
linker provides no (easy) way to replace printf with the custom
version as defined in printf.c.
The number of registers used should be 10, not 12, to match the assembly
code in nlrx64.c. With this change the 64bit mingw builds don't need to
use the setjmp implementation, and this fixes miscellaneous crashes and
assertion failures as reported in #1751 for instance.
To avoid mistakes in the future where something gcc-related for Windows
only gets fixed for one particular compiler/environment combination,
make use of a MICROPY_NLR_OS_WINDOWS macro.
To make sure everything nlr-related is now ok when built with gcc this
has been verified with:
- unix port built with gcc on Cygwin (i686-pc-cygwin-gcc and
x86_64-pc-cygwin-gcc, version 6.4.0)
- windows port built with mingw-w64's gcc from Cygwin
(i686-w64-mingw32-gcc and x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc, version 6.4.0)
and MSYS2 (like the ones on Cygwin but version 7.2.0)
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.
