With this patch exceptions that are re-raised have improved tracebacks
(less confusing, match CPython), and it makes re-raise slightly more
efficient (in time and RAM) because they no longer need to add a traceback.
Also general VM performance is not measurably affected.
Partially fixes issue #2928.
With this patch exception tracebacks that go through a finally are improved
(less confusing, match CPython), and it makes finally's slightly more
efficient (in time and RAM) because they no longer need to add a traceback.
Partially fixes issue #2928.
Previously, "import _io" worked on both CPython and MicroPython (essentially
by a chance on CPython, as there's not guarantee that its contents will stay
the same across versions), but as the module was renamed to uio, need to use
more robust import sequence for compatibility.
NameError may either include offending name or not. Unfortunately, this
change makes test float-dependent. And using integer division leads to
different error message than CPython.
This makes exception traceback info self contained (ie doesn't rely on
list object, which was a bit of a hack), reduces code size, and reduces
RAM footprint of exception by eliminating the list object.
Addresses part of issue #1126.
Issue was with uPy: on local machine with micropython-lib installed, io
module is available. Not the case on Travis CI, where only _io module
is available in uPy.
