Implementations of persistent-code reader are provided for POSIX systems
and systems using FatFS. Macros to use these are MICROPY_READER_POSIX and
MICROPY_READER_FATFS respectively. If an alternative implementation is
needed then a port can define the function mp_reader_new_file.
Its addition was due to an early exploration on how to add CPython-like
stream interface. It's clear that it's not needed and just takes up
bytes in all ports.
Now, to use frozen bytecode all a port needs to do is define
FROZEN_MPY_DIR to the directory containing the .py files to freeze, and
define MICROPY_MODULE_FROZEN_MPY and MICROPY_QSTR_EXTRA_POOL.
To make its inclusion as frozen modules in multiple ports less magic.
Ports are just expected to symlink 2 files into their scripts/modules
subdirs.
Unix port updated to use this and in general follow frozen modules setup
tested and tried on baremetal ports, where there's "scripts" predefined
dir (overridable with FROZEN_DIR make var), and a user just drops Python
files there.
It's implemented in terms of usleep(), and POSIX doesn't guarantee that
usleep() can sleep for more than a second. This restriction unlikely
applies to any real-world system, but...
In order to have more fine-grained control over how builtin functions are
constructed, the MP_DECLARE_CONST_FUN_OBJ macros are made more specific,
with suffix of _0, _1, _2, _3, _VAR, _VAR_BETEEN or _KW. These names now
match the MP_DEFINE_CONST_FUN_OBJ macros.
Now there is just one function to allocate a new vstr, namely vstr_new
(in addition to vstr_init etc). The caller of this function should know
what initial size to allocate for the buffer, or at least have some policy
or config option, instead of leaving it to a default (as it was before).
This new config option allows to control whether MicroPython uses its own
internal printf or not (if not, an external one should be linked in).
Accompanying this new option is the inclusion of lib/utils/printf.c in the
core list of source files, so that ports no longer need to include it
themselves.
Arguments of an unknown type cannot be skipped and continuing to parse a
format string after encountering an unknown format specifier leads to
undefined behaviour. This patch helps to find use of unsupported formats.
This extra forward slash for the starting-point directory is unnecessary
and leads to additional slashes on Max OS X which mean that the frozen
files cannot be imported.
Fixes#2374.
This type was used only for the typedef of mp_obj_t, which is now defined
by the object representation. So we can now remove this unused typedef,
to simplify the mpconfigport.h file.
This includes file and socket objects, backed by Unix file descriptor.
This improves compatibility with stmhal's uselect (and convenience of
use), though not completely: return value from poll.poll() is still
raw file descriptor.
To filter out even prototypes of mp_stream_posix_*() functions, which
require POSIX types like ssize_t & off_t, which may be not available in
some ports.
The minimum thread stack size is set by pthreads (16k bytes) so we must
use that value for our minimum. The stack limit check is also adjusted
to work correctly for 32-bit builds.
Threading support is still very new so stay conservative at this point
and enable threading without the GIL. This requires users to protect
concurrent access of mutatable Python objects (eg lists) with locks at
the Python level (something you should probably do anyway). The
advantage is that there is less of a performance hit for non-threaded
code, because the VM does not need to constantly release/acquire the GIL.
In the future the GIL will be made more efficient. There is also room to
improve the efficiency of non-GIL code by not using mutex's if there is
only one thread active.
