The function and corresponding command-line option are only enabled for
the coverage build. They are used to exercise uPy features that can't
be properly tested by Python scripts.
Previous to this patch the printing mechanism was a bit of a tangled
mess. This patch attempts to consolidate printing into one interface.
All (non-debug) printing now uses the mp_print* family of functions,
mainly mp_printf. All these functions take an mp_print_t structure as
their first argument, and this structure defines the printing backend
through the "print_strn" function of said structure.
Printing from the uPy core can reach the platform-defined print code via
two paths: either through mp_sys_stdout_obj (defined pert port) in
conjunction with mp_stream_write; or through the mp_plat_print structure
which uses the MP_PLAT_PRINT_STRN macro to define how string are printed
on the platform. The former is only used when MICROPY_PY_IO is defined.
With this new scheme printing is generally more efficient (less layers
to go through, less arguments to pass), and, given an mp_print_t*
structure, one can call mp_print_str for efficiency instead of
mp_printf("%s", ...). Code size is also reduced by around 200 bytes on
Thumb2 archs.
To enable parsing constants more efficiently, mp_parse should be allowed
to raise an exception, and mp_compile can already raise a MemoryError.
So these functions need to be protected by an nlr push/pop block.
This patch adds that feature in all places. This allows to simplify how
mp_parse and mp_compile are called: they now raise an exception if they
have an error and so explicit checking is not needed anymore.
This patch consolidates all global variables in py/ core into one place,
in a global structure. Root pointers are all located together to make
GC tracing easier and more efficient.
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_lexer_t type is exposed, mp_token_t type is removed, and simple lexer
functions (like checking current token kind) are now inlined.
This saves 784 bytes ROM on 32-bit unix, 348 bytes on stmhal, and 460
bytes on bare-arm. It also saves a tiny bit of RAM since mp_lexer_t
is a bit smaller. Also will run a bit more efficiently.
The specifier should go after the number, before size suffix like 'k' or 'm'.
E.g.: "-X heapsize=100wk" will use 100K heap on 32-bit system and 200K - on
64-bit.
Support for packages as argument not implemented, but otherwise error and
exit handling should be correct. This for example will allow to do:
pip-micropython install micropython-test.pystone
micropython -m test.pystone
This allows to implement KeyboardInterrupt on unix, and a much safer
ctrl-C in stmhal port. First ctrl-C is a soft one, with hope that VM
will notice it; second ctrl-C is a hard one that kills anything (for
both unix and stmhal).
One needs to check for a pending exception in the VM only for jump
opcodes. Others can't produce an infinite loop (infinite recursion is
caught by stack check).
Per new conventions, we'd like to consistently use "u*" naming conventions
for modules which don't offer complete CPython compatibility, while offer
subset or similar API.
It seems most sensible to use size_t for measuring "number of bytes" in
malloc and vstr functions (since that's what size_t is for). We don't
use mp_uint_t because malloc and vstr are not Micro Python specific.
sys.exit always raises SystemExit so doesn't need a special
implementation for each port. If C exit() is really needed, use the
standard os._exit function.
Also initialise mp_sys_path and mp_sys_argv in teensy port.
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.
qstr_init is always called exactly before mp_init, so makes sense to
just have mp_init call it. Similarly with
mp_init_emergency_exception_buf. Doing this makes the ports simpler and
less error prone (ie they can no longer forget to call these).
The user code should call micropython.alloc_emergency_exception_buf(size)
where size is the size of the buffer used to print the argument
passed to the exception.
With the test code from #732, and a call to
micropython.alloc_emergenncy_exception_buf(100) the following error is
now printed:
```python
>>> import heartbeat_irq
Uncaught exception in Timer(4) interrupt handler
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "0://heartbeat_irq.py", line 14, in heartbeat_cb
NameError: name 'led' is not defined
```
- rearrange/add definitions that were not there so it's easier to compare both
- use MICROPY_PY_SYS_PLATFORM in main.c since it's available anyway
- define EWOULDBLOCK, it is missing from ingw32
As stack checking is enabled by default, ports which don't call
stack_ctrl_init() are broken now (report RuntimeError on startup). Save
them trouble and just init stack control framework in interpreter init.
Such mechanism is important to get stable Python functioning, because Python
function calling is handled with C stack. The idea is to sprinkle
STACK_CHECK() calls in places where there can be C recursion.
TODO: Add more STACK_CHECK()'s.
This will work if MICROPY_DEBUG_PRINTERS is defined, which is only for
unix/windows ports. This makes it convenient to user uPy normally, but
easily get bytecode dump on the spot if needed, without constant recompiles
back and forth.
TODO: Add more useful debug output, adjust verbosity level on which
specifically bytecode dump happens.
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/.
The mingw port used _fullpath() until now, but the behaviour is not exactly
the same as realpath()'s on unix; major difference being that it doesn't
return an error for non-existing files, which would bypass main's error
checking and bail out without any error message.
Also realpath() will return forward slashes only since main() relies on that.
Full CPython compatibility with this requires actually parsing the
input so far collected, and if it fails parsing due to lack of tokens,
then continue collecting input. It's not worth doing it this way. Not
having compatibility at this level does not hurt the goals of Micro
Python.
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.
Originally, .methods was used for methods in a ROM class, and
locals_dict for methods in a user-created class. That distinction is
unnecessary, and we can use locals_dict for ROM classes now that we have
ROMable maps.
This removes an entry in the bloated mp_obj_type_t struct, saving a word
for each ROM object and each RAM object. ROM objects that have a
methods table (now a locals_dict) need an extra word in total (removed
the methods pointer (1 word), no longer need the sentinel (2 words), but
now need an mp_obj_dict_t wrapper (4 words)). But RAM objects save a
word because they never used the methods entry.
Overall the ROM usage is down by a few hundred bytes, and RAM usage is
down 1 word per user-defined type/class.
There is less code (no need to check 2 tables), and now consistent with
the way ROM modules have their tables initialised.
Efficiency is very close to equivaluent.
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).
