This introduces a skip_if module that can be used by tests to
determine when they should be skipped due to the environment.
Some tests have been split in order to have finer grained skip
control.
This makes it clear when frozen modules are loaded as opposed to the empty path
which represents the current working directory. Furthermore, by splitting the two
apart this allows one to control in what order frozen modules are loaded.
This is a prerequisite for #56.
This will lead to crash like:
FATAL: uncaught NLR 80a5420
On x86_32, the minimum heap size is smaller, but not 2 times, so just
use value which works for x86_64.
Do not raise SIGPIPE, instead return EPIPE. Otherwise, e.g. writing
to peer-closed socket will lead to sudden termination of MicroPython
process. SIGPIPE is particularly nasty, because unix shell doesn't
print anything for it, so the above looks like completely sudden and
silent termination for unknown reason. Ignoring SIGPIPE is also what
CPython does. Note that this may lead to problems using MicroPython
scripts as pipe filters, but again, that's what CPython does. So,
scripts which want to follow unix shell pipe semantics (where SIGPIPE
means "pipe was requested to terminate, it's not an error"), should
catch EPIPE themselves.
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.
Due to the way modern compilers work (allocating space for stack vars once
at tha start of function, and deallocating once on exit from), using
intermediate stack buffer of big size caused blockage of 4K (PATH_MAX)
on stack for the entire duration of MicroPython execution.
Calling it from mp_init() is too late for some ports (like Unix), and leads
to incomplete stack frame being captured, with following GC issues. So, now
each port should call mp_stack_ctrl_init() on its own, ASAP after startup,
and taking special precautions so it really was called before stack variables
get allocated (because if such variable with a pointer is missed, it may lead
to over-collecting (typical symptom is segfaulting)).
Usually this checking is done by VM on jump instructions, but for linear
sequences of instructions and builtin functions this won't happen. Particular
target of this change is long-running builtin functions like time.sleep().
This allows the mp_obj_t type to be configured to something other than a
pointer-sized primitive type.
This patch also includes additional changes to allow the code to compile
when sizeof(mp_uint_t) != sizeof(void*), such as using size_t instead of
mp_uint_t, and various casts.
In other words, unix port now uses overriden printf(), instead of using
libc's. This should remove almost all dependency on libc stdio (which
is bloated).
py/mphal.h contains declarations for generic mp_hal_XXX functions, such
as stdio and delay/ticks, which ports should provide definitions for. A
port will also provide mphalport.h with further HAL declarations.
Use CTRL-E to enter paste mode. Prompt starts with "===" and accepts
all characters verbatim, echoing them back. Only control characters are
CTRL-C which cancels the input and returns to normal REPL, and CTRL-D
which ends the input and executes it. The input is executed as though
it were a file. The input is not added to the prompt history.
With this patch parse nodes are allocated sequentially in chunks. This
reduces fragmentation of the heap and prevents waste at the end of
individually allocated parse nodes.
Saves roughly 20% of RAM during parse stage.
Using MICROPY_PY_SYS_PATH_DEFAULT macro define. A usecase is building a
distribution package, which should not have user home path by default in
sys.path. In such case, MICROPY_PY_SYS_PATH_DEFAULT can be defined on
make command-line (using CFLAGS_EXTRA).
This gets uPy readline working with unix port, with tab completion and
history. GNU readline is still supported, configure using
MICROPY_USE_READLINE variable.
The function and corresponding command-line option are only enabled for
the coverage build. They are used to exercise uPy features that can't
be properly tested by Python scripts.
