Native emitter can now compile try/except blocks using nlr_push/nlr_pop.
It probably only works for 1 level of exception handling. It doesn't
work on Thumb (only x64).
Native emitter can also handle some additional op codes.
With this patch, 198 tests now pass using "-X emit=native" option to
micropython.
Needed to pop the iterator object when breaking out of a for loop. Need
also to be careful to unwind exception handler before popping iterator.
Addresses issue #635.
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/.
3 emitter functions are needed only for emitcpy, and so we can #if them
out when compiling with emitcpy support.
Also remove unused SETUP_LOOP bytecode.
Closed over variables are now passed on the stack, instead of creating a
tuple and passing that. This way memory for the closed over variables
can be allocated within the closure object itself. See issue #510 for
background.
Very little has changed. In Python 3.4 they removed the opcode
STORE_LOCALS, but in Micro Python we only ever used this for CPython
compatibility, so it was a trivial thing to remove. It also allowed to
clean up some dead code (eg the 0xdeadbeef in class construction), and
now class builders use 1 less stack word.
Python 3.4.0 introduced the LOAD_CLASSDEREF opcode, which I have not
yet understood. Still, all tests (apart from bytecode test) still pass.
Bytecode tests needs some more attention, but they are not that
important anymore.
Mostly just a global search and replace. Except rt_is_true which
becomes mp_obj_is_true.
Still would like to tidy up some of the names, but this will do for now.
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.
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).
