Using PendSV interrupt at lowest priority, code can now raise an
exception during an interrupt by calling pendsv_nlr_jump. The exception
will be raised when all interrupts are finished. This is used to trap
ctrl-C from the USB VCP to break out of running Python code.
This properly implements return from try/finally block(s).
TODO: Consider if we need to do any value stack unwinding for RETURN_VALUE
case. Intuitively, this is "success" return, so value stack should be in
good shape, and unwinding shouldn't be required.
Up to know changes unix/main.c were able to break the windows
build because windows/main.c simply included unix/main.c.
Now windows/main.c stands on it's own and won't break if
unix/main.c changes.
__bool__() and __len__() are just the same as __neg__() or __invert__(),
and require efficient dispatching implementation (not requiring search/lookup).
type->unary_op() is just the right choice for this short of adding
standalone virtual method(s) to already big mp_obj_type_t structure.
We still have FAST_[0,1,2] byte codes, but they now just access the
fastn array (before they had special local variables). It's now
simpler, a bit faster, and uses a bit less stack space (on STM at least,
which is most important).
The only reason now to keep FAST_[0,1,2] byte codes is for compressed
byte code size.
LOAD_METHOD bug was: emitbc did not correctly calculate the amount of
stack usage for a LOAD_METHOD operation.
small int bug was: int was being used to pass small ints, when it should
have been machine_int_t.
Foreign Function Interface module allows to load native dynamic libraries,
call functions and access variables in them. This makes possible to write
interface modules in pure Python.
This module provides thin wrapper around libffi. ctypes compatibility might
be possible to implement on top of this module (though ctypes allow to call
functions without prototypes, which is not supported by libffi (i.e.
implementation would be inefficient))).
