In this, don't allocate copy, just return non-empty string. This helps
with a standard pattern of buffering data in case of short reads:
buf = b""
while ...:
s = f.read(...)
buf += s
...
For a typical case when single read returns all data needed, there won't
be extra allocation. This optimization helps uasyncio.
They are one-line functions and having them inline in mp_init/mp_deinit
eliminates the overhead of a function call, and matches how other state
is initialised in mp_init.
The order now follows that in py/mpconfig.h and is a bit cleaner and easier
to maintain. No options were changed/added/removed with this patch, it's
just a reordering.
To use this feature a port should define MICROPY_HW_SPIFLASH_SIZE_BITS
along with x_CS, x_SCK, x_MOSI, x_MISO (x=MICROPY_HW_SPIFLASH). This will
then use external SPI flash on those pins instead of the internal flash.
The SPI is done using the software implementation. There is currently only
support for standard SPI (ie not dual or quad mode).
stmhal will now be built by default with frozen bytecode from scripts
stored in the stmhal/modules/ directory. This can be disabled or
changed to another directory by overridding the make variable
FROZEN_MPY_DIR.
This is how CPython does it, and it's very useful to help users discover
the available modules for a given port, especially built-in and frozen
modules. The function does not list modules that are in the filesystem
because this would require a fair bit of work to do correctly, and is very
port specific (depending on the filesystem).
Ports should no longer use pyhelp_print_obj but instead should define
MICROPY_PY_BUILTINS_HELP to 1 and then specify their help text using
MICROPY_PY_BUILTINS_HELP_TEXT.
If result guaranteedly fits in a small int, it is handled in objint.c.
Otherwise, it is delegated to mp_obj_int_from_bytes_impl(), which should
be implemented by individual objint_*.c, similar to
mp_obj_int_to_bytes_impl().
