A new option MICROPY_GC_STACK_ENTRY_TYPE is added to select a custom type
instead of size_t for the gc_stack array items. This can be beneficial for
small devices, especially those that are low on memory anyway. If a device
has 1MB or less of heap (and 16-byte GC blocks) then this type can be
uint16_t, saving 128 bytes of RAM.
The recent implementation of the listen backlog meant that the logic to
test for readability of such a socket changed, and this commit updates the
logic to work again.
Array to hold waiting connections is in-place if backlog=1, else is a
dynamically allocated array. Incoming connections are processed FIFO
style to maintain fairness.
This is necessary for two reasons: 1) FreeRTOS still needs the TCB data
structure even after vPortCleanUpTCB has been called, so this latter hook
function cannot free the TCB, and there is no where else to safely delete
it (this behaviour has changed recently in the ESP IDF); 2) when using
external SPI RAM the uPy heap is in this external memory but the task stack
must be allocated from internal SRAM.
Fixes issue #3904.
A DFU device must be in the idle state before it can be programmed, and
this requires either clearing the status or aborting, depending on its
current state. Code is added to do this. And the USB transfer size is now
automatically detected so devices with a size less than 2048 bytes work
correctly.
We standardized to provide uos.remove() as a more obvious and user-friendly
name. That's what written in the docs. The Unix port implementation
predates this convention, so update it now.
There was an assumption that all names in a module dict are qstr's.
However, they can be dynamically generated (by assigning to globals()),
and in case of a long name, it won't be a qstr. Handle this situation
properly, including taking care of not creating superfluous qstr's for
names starting with "_" (which aren't imported by "import *").
CPython does not have an implementation of select.poll() on some
operating systems (Windows, OSX depending on version) so skip the
test in those cases instead of failing it.
Taking the address of a local variable is mildly expensive, in code size
and stack usage. So optimise scope_find_or_add_id() to not need to take a
pointer to the "added" variable, and instead take the kind to use for newly
added identifiers.
This ensures that implicit variables are only converted to implicit
closed-over variables (nonlocals) at the very end of the function scope.
If variables are closed-over when first used (read from, as was done prior
to this commit) then this can be incorrect because the variable may be
assigned to later on in the function which means they are just a plain
local, not closed over.
Fixes issue #4272.
The way it was written previously the variable x was not an implicit
nonlocal, it was just a normal local (but the compiler has a bug which
incorrectly makes it a nonlocal).
Building axtls gives a lot of warnings with -Wall enabled, and explicitly
disabling all of them cannot be done in a way compatible with gcc and
clang, and likely other compilers. So just use -Wno-all to prevent all of
the extra warnings (in addition to the necessary -Wno-unused-parameter,
-Wno-uninitialized, -Wno-sign-compare and -Wno-old-style-definition).
Fixes issue #4182.
1. Use uctypes.bytearray_at().
Implementation of the "ffi" module predates that of "uctypes", so
initially some convenience functions to access memory were added
to ffi. Later, they landed in uctypes (which follows CPython's
ctype module).
So, replace undocumented experimental functions from ffi to
documented ones from uctypes.
2. Use more suitable type codes for arguments (e.g. "P" (const void*)
instead of "p" (void*).
3. Some better var naming.
4. Clarify some messages printed by the example.
Examples are added to the beginning of the module docs, similarly to docs
for many other modules.
Improvements to grammar, style, and clarity. Some paragraphs are updated
with better suggestions. A warning added of the effect incorrect usage of
the module may have. Describe the fact that offset range used in one
defined structure is limited.
sizeof() can work in two ways: a) calculate size of already instantiated
structure ("sizeof variable") - in this case we already no layout; b) size
of structure decsription ("sizeof type"). In the latter case, LAYOUT_NATIVE
was assumed, but there should possibility to calculate size for other
layouts too. So, with this patch, there're now 2 forms:
uctypes.sizeof(struct)
uctypes.sizeof(struct_desc, layout)
Configurable via MICROPY_MODULE_GETATTR, disabled by default. Among other
things __getattr__ for modules can help to build lazy loading / code
unloading at runtime.
Configurable via MICROPY_PY_BUILTINS_STR_COUNT. Default is enabled.
Disabled for bare-arm, minimal, unix-minimal and zephyr ports. Disabling
it saves 408 bytes on x86.
Some Python linters don't like unconditional except clauses because they
catch SystemExit and KeyboardInterrupt, which usually is not the intended
behaviour.
Part of this test was trying to test some functionality of __getattribute__
but this method name was misspelt so it wasn't doing anything useful.
Fixing the typo in this name makes the test fail because MicroPython
doesn't support user defined __getattribute__ methods. So this part of the
test is removed. The remaining tests are modified slightly to make it
clearer what they are testing.
