Eg, "() + 1" now tells you that __add__ is not supported for tuple and
int types (before it just said the generic "binary operator"). We reuse
the table of names for slot lookup because it would be a waste of code
space to store the pretty name for each operator.
This patch consolidates all global variables in py/ core into one place,
in a global structure. Root pointers are all located together to make
GC tracing easier and more efficient.
This allows to implement KeyboardInterrupt on unix, and a much safer
ctrl-C in stmhal port. First ctrl-C is a soft one, with hope that VM
will notice it; second ctrl-C is a hard one that kills anything (for
both unix and stmhal).
One needs to check for a pending exception in the VM only for jump
opcodes. Others can't produce an infinite loop (infinite recursion is
caught by stack check).
Because (for Thumb) a function pointer has the LSB set, pointers to
dynamic functions in RAM (eg native, viper or asm functions) were not
being traced by the GC. This patch is a comprehensive fix for this.
Addresses issue #820.
Benefits: won't crash baremetal targets, will provide Python source location
when not implemented feature used (it will no longer provide C source
location, but just grep for error message).
__debug__ now resolves to True or False. Its value needs to be set by
mp_set_debug().
TODO: call mp_set_debug in unix/ port.
TODO: optimise away "if False:" statements in compiler.
Need to have a policy as to how far we go adding keyword support to
built ins. It's nice to have, and gets better CPython compatibility,
but hurts the micro nature of uPy.
Addresses issue #577.
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/.
These are to assist in writing native C functions that take positional
and keyword arguments. mp_arg_check_num is for just checking the
number of arguments is correct. mp_arg_parse_all is for parsing
positional and keyword arguments with default values.
Attempt to address issue #386. unique_code_id's have been removed and
replaced with a pointer to the "raw code" information. This pointer is
stored in the actual byte code (aligned, so the GC can trace it), so
that raw code (ie byte code, native code and inline assembler) is kept
only for as long as it is needed. In memory it's now like a tree: the
outer module's byte code points directly to its children's raw code. So
when the outer code gets freed, if there are no remaining functions that
need the raw code, then the children's code gets freed as well.
This is pretty much like CPython does it, except that CPython stores
indexes in the byte code rather than machine pointers. These indices
index the per-function constant table in order to find the relevant
code.
Based on the discussion in #433. mp_load_attr() is critical-path function,
so any extra check will slowdown any script. As supporting default val
required only for getattr() builtin, move correspending implementation
there (still as a separate function due to concerns of maintainability
of such almost-duplicated code instances).
Finishes addressing issue #424.
In the end this was a very neat refactor that now makes things a lot
more consistent across the py code base. It allowed some
simplifications in certain places, now that everything is a dict object.
Also converted builtins tables to dictionaries. This will be useful
when we need to turn builtins into a proper module.
It's not completely satisfactory, because a failed call to __getattr__
should not raise an exception.
__setattr__ could be implemented, but it would slow down all stores to a
user created object. Need to implement some caching system.
Adding this bytecode allows to remove 4 others related to
function/method calls with * and ** support. Will also help with
bytecodes that make functions/closures with default positional and
keyword args.
Pretty much everyone needs to include map.h, since it's such an integral
part of the Micro Python object implementation. Thus, the definitions
are now in obj.h instead. map.h is removed.
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.
Partly (very partly!) addresses issue #386. Most importantly, at the
REPL command line, each invocation does not now lead to increased memory
usage (unless you define a function/lambda).
For this, needed to implement DELETE_NAME bytecode (because var bound
in except clause is automatically deleted at its end).
http://docs.python.org/3/reference/compound_stmts.html#except :
"When an exception has been assigned using as target, it is cleared at
the end of the except clause."
This commit also introduces board directories and moves board
specific config into the appropriate board directory.
boards/stm32f4xx-af.csv was extracted from the STM32F4xx datasheet
and hand-tweaked.
make-pins.py takes boards/stm32f4xx-af.csv, boards/stm32f4xx-prefix.c,
and boards/BOARD-NAME/pins.csv as input and generates the file
build/pins_BOARD_NAME.c
The generated pin file for PYBOARD4 looks like this:
https://gist.github.com/dhylands/9063231
The generated pins file includes all of the supported alternate
functions, and includes upsupported alternate functions as comments.
See the commnet block at the top of stm/pin_map.c for details on
how to use the pin mapper.
I also went ahead and modified stm/gpio.c to use the pin mapper.
Each built-in exception is now a type, with base type BaseException.
C exceptions are created by passing a pointer to the exception type to
make an instance of. When raising an exception from the VM, an
instance is created automatically if an exception type is raised (as
opposed to an exception instance).
Exception matching (RT_BINARY_OP_EXCEPTION_MATCH) is now proper.
Handling of parse error changed to match new exceptions.
mp_const_type renamed to mp_type_type for consistency.
