This allows to set the pulse width (for PWM mode) as a ratio relative to
the period of the timer. Eg, 0.5 is a 50% duty cycle. You can set the
ratio in the channel init, or using channel.pulse_width_ratio; the
latter can also read the pulse width as a ratio.
Heap RAM was being allocated to print dicts and do some other types of
iterating. Now these iterations use 1 word of state on the stack.
Deleting elements from a dict was not allowing the value to be reclaimed
by the GC. This is now fixed.
By measuring SD card addresses in blocks and not bytes, one can get away
with using 32-bit numbers.
This patch also uses proper atomic lock/unlock around SD card
read/write, adds SD.info() function, and gives error code for failed
read/writes.
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.
Eventually, viper wants to be able to use raw pointers to strings and
arrays for efficient access. But for now, let's just load strings as a
Python object so they can be used as normal. This will anyway be
compatible with eventual intended viper behaviour.
Addresses issue #857.
Type representing signed size doesn't have to be int, so use special value
which defaults to SSIZE_MAX, but as it's not defined by C standard (but rather
by POSIX), allow ports to set it.
For the sake of older versions of gcc (and other compilers), don't use
the #warning CPP directive, nor the -Wno-error=cpp option.
Also, fix a strict alias warning in modffi.c for older compilers, and
add a test for ffi module.
Addresses issue #847.
Previously, mpz was restricted to using at most 15 bits in each digit,
where a digit was a uint16_t.
With this patch, mpz can use all 16 bits in the uint16_t (improvement
to mpn_div was required). This gives small inprovements in speed and
RAM usage. It also yields savings in ROM code size because all of the
digit masking operations become no-ops.
Also, mpz can now use a uint32_t as the digit type, and hence use 32
bits per digit. This will give decent improvements in mpz speed on
64-bit machines.
Test for big integer division added.
