This adds a short paragraph on how to hook readthedocs.org up. The main
goal is to make people aware of the option, to help with contributing to
the documentation.
Invoking "make" will still build the standard "micropython" executable, but
other variants are now build using, eg, "make VARIANT=minimal". This
follows how bare-metal ports specify a particular board, and allows running
any make target (eg clean, test) with any variant.
Convenience targets (eg "make coverage") are provided to retain the old
behaviour, at least for now.
See issue #3043.
Most types are in rodata/ROM, and mp_obj_base_t.type is a constant pointer,
so enforce this const-ness throughout the code base. If a type ever needs
to be modified (eg a user type) then a simple cast can be used.
This change has the following effects:
- Reduces the resolution of the RTC sub-second counter from 30.52us to
122.07us.
- Allows RTC.calibration() to now support positive values (as well as
negative values).
- Reduces VBAT current consumption in standby mode by a small amount.
For general purpose use 122us resolution of the sub-second counter is
good enough, and the benefits of full range calibration and minor reduction
in VBAT consumption are worth the change.
As the mktime documentation for CPython states: "The earliest date for
which it can generate a time is platform-dependent". In particular on
Windows this depends on the timezone so e.g. for UTC+2 the earliest is 2
hours past midnight January 1970. So change the reference to the earliest
possible, for UTC+14.
Make version 4.1 and lower does not allow $call as the main expression on a
line, so assign the result of the $call to a dummy variable.
Fixes issue #5426.
It is possile for `run_feature_check(pyb, args, base_path, 'float.py')` to
return `b'CRASH'`. This causes an unhandled exception in `int()`.
This commit fixes the problem by first testing for `b'CRASH'` before trying
to convert the return value to an integer.
Instances of the slice class are passed to __getitem__() on objects when
the user indexes them with a slice. In practice the majority of the time
(other than passing it on untouched) is to work out what the slice means in
the context of an array dimension of a particular length. Since Python 2.3
there has been a method on the slice class, indices(), that takes a
dimension length and returns the real start, stop and step, accounting for
missing or negative values in the slice spec. This commit implements such
a indices() method on the slice class.
It is configurable at compile-time via MICROPY_PY_BUILTINS_SLICE_INDICES,
disabled by default, enabled on unix, stm32 and esp32 ports.
This commit also adds new tests for slice indices and for slicing unicode
strings.
The existing uos.remove cannot be used to remove directories, instead
uos.rmdir is needed. And also provide uos.rename to get a good set of
filesystem functionality without requiring additional Python-level os
functions (eg using ffi).
In CPython, EnvironmentError and IOError are now aliases of OSError so no
need to have them listed in the code. OverflowError inherits from
ArithmeticError because it's intended to be raised "when the result of an
arithmetic operation is too large to be represented" (per CPython docs),
and MicroPython aims to match the CPython exception hierarchy.
For the 3 ports that already make use of this feature (stm32, nrf and
teensy) this doesn't make any difference, it just allows to disable it from
now on.
For other ports that use pyexec, this decreases code size because the debug
printing code is dead (it can't be enabled) but the compiler can't deduce
that, so code is still emitted.
The qst value is always small enough to fit in 31-bits (even less) and
using a 32-bit shift rather than a 64-bit shift reduces code size by about
300 bytes.
Most stm32 boards can now be built in nan-boxing mode via:
$ make NANBOX=1
Note that if float is enabled then it will be forced to double-precision.
Also, native emitters will be disabled.
A user-defined type that defines __iter__ doesn't need any memory to be
pre-allocated for its iterator (because it can't use such memory). So
optimise for this case by not allocating the iter-buf.
In commit 71a3d6ec3b mp_setup_code_state was
changed from a 5-arg function to a 4-arg function, and at that point 5-arg
calls in native code were no longer needed. See also commit
4f9842ad80.
The struct member "dest" should never be less than "destStart", so their
difference is never negative. Cast as such to make the comparison
explicitly unsigned, ensuring the compiler produces the correct comparison
instruction, and avoiding any compiler warnings.
Allows assigning attributes on class instances that implement their own
__setattr__. Both object.__setattr__ and super(A, b).__setattr__ will work
with this commit.
