Invoking "make" will still build the standard "micropython" executable, but
other variants are now build using, eg, "make VARIANT=minimal". This
follows how bare-metal ports specify a particular board, and allows running
any make target (eg clean, test) with any variant.
Convenience targets (eg "make coverage") are provided to retain the old
behaviour, at least for now.
See issue #3043.
Instances of the slice class are passed to __getitem__() on objects when
the user indexes them with a slice. In practice the majority of the time
(other than passing it on untouched) is to work out what the slice means in
the context of an array dimension of a particular length. Since Python 2.3
there has been a method on the slice class, indices(), that takes a
dimension length and returns the real start, stop and step, accounting for
missing or negative values in the slice spec. This commit implements such
a indices() method on the slice class.
It is configurable at compile-time via MICROPY_PY_BUILTINS_SLICE_INDICES,
disabled by default, enabled on unix, stm32 and esp32 ports.
This commit also adds new tests for slice indices and for slicing unicode
strings.
The existing uos.remove cannot be used to remove directories, instead
uos.rmdir is needed. And also provide uos.rename to get a good set of
filesystem functionality without requiring additional Python-level os
functions (eg using ffi).
This commit removes the Makefile-level MICROPY_FATFS config and moves the
MICROPY_VFS_FAT config to the Makefile level to replace it. It also moves
the include of the oofatfs source files in the build from each port to a
central place in extmod/extmod.mk.
For a port to enabled VFS FAT support it should now set MICROPY_VFS_FAT=1
at the level of the Makefile. This will include the relevant oofatfs files
in the build and set MICROPY_VFS_FAT=1 at the C (preprocessor) level.
When loading a manifest file, e.g. by include(), it will chdir first to the
directory of that manifest. This means that all file operations within a
manifest are relative to that manifest's location.
As a consequence of this, additional environment variables are needed to
find absolute paths, so the following are added: $(MPY_LIB_DIR),
$(PORT_DIR), $(BOARD_DIR). And rename $(MPY) to $(MPY_DIR) to be
consistent.
Existing manifests are updated to match.
This commit adds support for sys.settrace, allowing to install Python
handlers to trace execution of Python code. The interface follows CPython
as closely as possible. The feature is disabled by default and can be
enabled via MICROPY_PY_SYS_SETTRACE.
mp_compile no longer takes an emit_opt argument, rather this setting is now
provided by the global default_emit_opt variable.
Now, when -X emit=native is passed as a command-line option, the emitter
will be set for all compiled modules (included imports), not just the
top-level script.
In the future there could be a way to also set this variable from a script.
Fixes issue #4267.
Enabled via MICROPY_PY_URE_DEBUG, disabled by default (but enabled on unix
coverage build). This is a rarely used feature that costs a lot of code
(500-800 bytes flash). Debugging of regular expressions can be done
offline with other tools.
As per PEP 485, this function appeared in for Python 3.5. Configured via
MICROPY_PY_MATH_ISCLOSE which is disabled by default, but enabled for the
ports which already have MICROPY_PY_MATH_SPECIAL_FUNCTIONS enabled.
This allows figuring out the number of bytes in the memoryview object as
len(memview) * memview.itemsize.
The feature is enabled via MICROPY_PY_BUILTINS_MEMORYVIEW_ITEMSIZE and is
disabled by default.
The original code called setsockopt(SO_RCVTIMEO/SO_SNDTIMEO) with NULL
timeout structure argument, which is an illegal usage of that function.
The old code also didn't validate the return value of setsockopt, missing
the bug completely.
When building with link time optimization enabled it is possible both
gc_collect() and gc_collect_regs_and_stack() get inlined into gc_alloc()
which can result in the regs variable being pushed on the stack earlier
than some of the registers. Depending on the calling convention, those
registers might however contain pointers to blocks which have just been
allocated in the caller of gc_alloc(). Then those pointers end up higher on
the stack than regs, aren't marked by gc_collect_root() and hence get
sweeped, even though they're still in use.
As reported in #4652 this happened for in 32-bit msvc release builds:
mp_lexer_new() does two consecutive allocations and the latter triggered a
gc_collect() which would sweep the memory of the first allocation again.
As mentioned in #4450, `websocket` was experimental with a single intended
user, `webrepl`. Therefore, we'll make this change without a weak
link `websocket` -> `uwebsocket`.
If opening of /dev/mem has failed an `OSError` is appropriately raised, but
the next time `mem8/16/32` is accessed the invalid file descriptor is used
and the program gets a SIGSEGV.
Python defines warnings as belonging to categories, where category is a
warning type (descending from exception type). This is useful, as e.g.
allows to disable warnings selectively and provide user-defined warning
types. So, implement this in MicroPython, except that categories are
represented just with strings. However, enough hooks are left to implement
categories differently per-port (e.g. as types), without need to patch each
and every usage.
One can't use pthread calls in a signal handler because they are not
async-signal-safe (see man signal-safety). Instead, sem_post can be used
to post from within a signal handler and this should be more efficient than
using a busy wait loop, waiting on a volatile variable.
We standardized to provide uos.remove() as a more obvious and user-friendly
name. That's what written in the docs. The Unix port implementation
predates this convention, so update it now.
Configurable via MICROPY_MODULE_GETATTR, disabled by default. Among other
things __getattr__ for modules can help to build lazy loading / code
unloading at runtime.
