Type representing signed size doesn't have to be int, so use special value
which defaults to SSIZE_MAX, but as it's not defined by C standard (but rather
by POSIX), allow ports to set it.
For the sake of older versions of gcc (and other compilers), don't use
the #warning CPP directive, nor the -Wno-error=cpp option.
Also, fix a strict alias warning in modffi.c for older compilers, and
add a test for ffi module.
Addresses issue #847.
Previously, mpz was restricted to using at most 15 bits in each digit,
where a digit was a uint16_t.
With this patch, mpz can use all 16 bits in the uint16_t (improvement
to mpn_div was required). This gives small inprovements in speed and
RAM usage. It also yields savings in ROM code size because all of the
digit masking operations become no-ops.
Also, mpz can now use a uint32_t as the digit type, and hence use 32
bits per digit. This will give decent improvements in mpz speed on
64-bit machines.
Test for big integer division added.
Code-info size, block name, source name, n_state and n_exc_stack now use
variable length encoded uints. This saves 7-9 bytes per bytecode
function for most functions.
Allows to create socket objects that support TCP and UDP in server and
client mode. Interface is very close to standard Python socket class,
except bind and accept do not work the same (due to hardware not
supporting them in the usual way).
Not compiled by default. To compile this module, use:
make MICROPY_PY_WIZNET5K=1
Top-level lib directory is for standard C libraries that we want to
provide our own versions of (for efficiency and stand-alone reasons).
It currently has libm in it for math functions.
Also add atanf and atan2f, which addresses issue #837.
This way, the native glue code is only compiled if native code is
enabled (which makes complete sense; thanks to Paul Sokolovsky for
the idea).
Should fix issue #834.
The heap allocation is now exactly as it was before the "faster gc
alloc" patch, but it's still nearly as fast. It is fixed by being
careful to always update the "last free block" pointer whenever the heap
changes (eg free or realloc).
Tested on all tests by enabling EXTENSIVE_HEAP_PROFILING in py/gc.c:
old and new allocator have exactly the same behaviour, just the new one
is much faster.
Recent speed up of GC allocation made the GC have a fragmented heap.
This patch restores "original fragmentation behaviour" whilst still
retaining relatively fast allocation. This patch works because there is
always going to be a single block allocated now and then, which advances
the gc_last_free_atb_index pointer often enough so that the whole heap
doesn't need scanning.
Should address issue #836.
