Parser shouldn't raise exceptions, so needs to check when memory
allocation fails. This patch does that for the initial set up of the
parser state.
Also, we now put the parser object on the stack. It's small enough to
go there instead of on the heap.
This partially addresses issue #558.
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/.
Previously, a failed malloc/realloc would throw an exception, which was
not caught. I think it's better to keep the parser free from NLR
(exception throwing), hence this patch.
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.
vstr is initially intended to deal with arbitrary-length strings. By
providing a bit lower-level API calls, it will be also useful to deal
with arbitrary-length I/O buffers (the difference from strings is that
buffers are filled from "outside", via I/O).
Another issue, especially aggravated by I/O buffer use, is alloc size
vs actual size length. If allocated 1Mb for buffer, but actually
read 1 byte, we don't want to keep rest of 1Mb be locked by this I/O
result, but rather return it to heap ASAP ("shrink" buffer before passing
it to qstr_from_str_take()).
A big change. Micro Python objects are allocated as individual structs
with the first element being a pointer to the type information (which
is itself an object). This scheme follows CPython. Much more flexible,
not necessarily slower, uses same heap memory, and can allocate objects
statically.
Also change name prefix, from py_ to mp_ (mp for Micro Python).
