sys.path is not initialized by rt_init(), that's left for platform-specific
startup code. (For example, bare metal port may have some hardcoded defaults,
and let user change sys.path directly; while port for OS with environment
feature can take path from environment). If it's not explicitly initialized,
modules will be imported only from a current directory.
TODO: Decide if we really need separate bytecode for creating functions
with default arguments - we would need same for closures, then there're
keywords arguments too. Having all combinations is a small exponential
explosion, likely we need just 2 cases - simplest (no defaults, no kw),
and full - defaults & kw.
__bool__() and __len__() are just the same as __neg__() or __invert__(),
and require efficient dispatching implementation (not requiring search/lookup).
type->unary_op() is just the right choice for this short of adding
standalone virtual method(s) to already big mp_obj_type_t structure.
We still have FAST_[0,1,2] byte codes, but they now just access the
fastn array (before they had special local variables). It's now
simpler, a bit faster, and uses a bit less stack space (on STM at least,
which is most important).
The only reason now to keep FAST_[0,1,2] byte codes is for compressed
byte code size.
LOAD_METHOD bug was: emitbc did not correctly calculate the amount of
stack usage for a LOAD_METHOD operation.
small int bug was: int was being used to pass small ints, when it should
have been machine_int_t.
Currently, MicroPython strings are mix between CPython byte and unicode
strings. So, conversion is null so far. This dummy implementation is
intended for compatibility with CPython (so, same code can run on both).
These are micropython.mem_total(), .mem_current(), .mem_peak(). These are 3
individual functions with simple scalar return value to make sure that
calls to these functions themselves have minimal (hopefully zero) impact on
memory allocation.
Change state layout in VM so the stack starts at state[0] and grows
upwards. Locals are at the top end of the state and number downwards.
This cleans up a lot of the interface connecting the VM to C: now all
functions that take an array of Micro Python objects are in order (ie no
longer in reverse).
Also clean up C API with keyword arguments (call_n and call_n_kw
replaced with single call method that takes keyword arguments). And now
make_new takes keyword arguments.
emitnative.c has not yet been changed to comply with the new order of
stack layout.
