This happens with some compilers on some architectures, which don't define
size_t as unsigned int. MicroPython's printf() dooesn't support obscure
format specifiers for size_t, so the obvious choice is to explicitly cast
to unsigned, to match %u used in printf().
Now there is just one function to allocate a new vstr, namely vstr_new
(in addition to vstr_init etc). The caller of this function should know
what initial size to allocate for the buffer, or at least have some policy
or config option, instead of leaving it to a default (as it was before).
"Forced exit" is treated as soft-reboot (Ctrl+D). But expected effect of
calling sys.exit() is termination of the current script, not any further
and more serious actions like mentioned soft reboot.
A port which uses lib/utils/pyexec.c but which does not enable garbage
collection should not need to implement the gc_collect function.
This patch also moves the gc_collect call to after printing the qstr
info. Since qstrs cannot be collected it should not make any difference
to the printed statistics.
The config variable MICROPY_MODULE_FROZEN is now made of two separate
parts: MICROPY_MODULE_FROZEN_STR and MICROPY_MODULE_FROZEN_MPY. This
allows to have none, either or both of frozen strings and frozen mpy
files (aka frozen bytecode).
Before this change, if REPL blocked executing some code, it was possible
to still input new statememts and excuting them, all leading to weird,
and portentially dangerous interaction.
TODO: Current implementation may have issues processing input accumulated
while REPL was blocked.
This is a convenience function similar to pyexec_file. It should be used
instead of raw mp_parse_compile_execute because the latter does not catch
and report exceptions.
py/mphal.h contains declarations for generic mp_hal_XXX functions, such
as stdio and delay/ticks, which ports should provide definitions for. A
port will also provide mphalport.h with further HAL declarations.
This file is actually port-generic and should be moved out of stmhal/ .
Other ports already use it, and thus it should use mp_hal_ticks_ms()
right away.
Use CTRL-E to enter paste mode. Prompt starts with "===" and accepts
all characters verbatim, echoing them back. Only control characters are
CTRL-C which cancels the input and returns to normal REPL, and CTRL-D
which ends the input and executes it. The input is executed as though
it were a file. The input is not added to the prompt history.
With this patch parse nodes are allocated sequentially in chunks. This
reduces fragmentation of the heap and prevents waste at the end of
individually allocated parse nodes.
Saves roughly 20% of RAM during parse stage.
esp8266 port now has working raw and friendly REPL, as well as working
soft reset (CTRL-D at REPL, or raise SystemExit).
tools/pyboard.py now works with esp8266 port.
Previous to this patch the printing mechanism was a bit of a tangled
mess. This patch attempts to consolidate printing into one interface.
All (non-debug) printing now uses the mp_print* family of functions,
mainly mp_printf. All these functions take an mp_print_t structure as
their first argument, and this structure defines the printing backend
through the "print_strn" function of said structure.
Printing from the uPy core can reach the platform-defined print code via
two paths: either through mp_sys_stdout_obj (defined pert port) in
conjunction with mp_stream_write; or through the mp_plat_print structure
which uses the MP_PLAT_PRINT_STRN macro to define how string are printed
on the platform. The former is only used when MICROPY_PY_IO is defined.
With this new scheme printing is generally more efficient (less layers
to go through, less arguments to pass), and, given an mp_print_t*
structure, one can call mp_print_str for efficiency instead of
mp_printf("%s", ...). Code size is also reduced by around 200 bytes on
Thumb2 archs.
To enable parsing constants more efficiently, mp_parse should be allowed
to raise an exception, and mp_compile can already raise a MemoryError.
So these functions need to be protected by an nlr push/pop block.
This patch adds that feature in all places. This allows to simplify how
mp_parse and mp_compile are called: they now raise an exception if they
have an error and so explicit checking is not needed anymore.
This cleans up vstr so that it's a pure "variable buffer", and the user
can decide whether they need to add a terminating null byte. In most
places where vstr is used, the vstr did not need to be null terminated
and so this patch saves code size, a tiny bit of RAM, and makes vstr
usage more efficient. When null termination is needed it must be
done explicitly using vstr_null_terminate.
pyexec_friendly_repl_process_char() and friends, useful for ports which
integrate into existing cooperative multitasking system.
Unlike readline() refactor before, this was implemented in less formal,
trial&error process, minor functionality regressions are still known
(like soft&hard reset support). So, original loop-based pyexec_friendly_repl()
is left intact, specific implementation selectable by config setting.
The function is modeled after traceback.print_exception(), but unbloated,
and put into existing module to save overhead on adding another module.
Compliant traceback.print_exception() is intended to be implemented in
micropython-lib in terms of sys.print_exception().
This change required refactoring mp_obj_print_exception() to take pfenv_t
interface arguments.
Addresses #751.
mp_lexer_t type is exposed, mp_token_t type is removed, and simple lexer
functions (like checking current token kind) are now inlined.
This saves 784 bytes ROM on 32-bit unix, 348 bytes on stmhal, and 460
bytes on bare-arm. It also saves a tiny bit of RAM since mp_lexer_t
is a bit smaller. Also will run a bit more efficiently.
Improvements are:
2 ctrl-C's are now needed to truly kill running script on pyboard, so
make CDC interface allow multiple ctrl-C's through at once (ie sending
b'\x03\x03' to pyboard now counts as 2 ctrl-C's).
ctrl-C in friendly-repl can now stop multi-line input.
In raw-repl mode, use ctrl-D to indicate end of running script, and also
end of any error message. Thus, output of raw-repl is always at least 2
ctrl-D's and it's much easier to parse.
pyboard.py is now a bit faster, handles exceptions from pyboard better
(prints them and exits with exit code 1), prints out the pyboard output
while the script is running (instead of waiting till the end), and
allows to follow the output of a previous script when run with no
arguments.
Found these by compiling stmhal with mp_uint_t of type uint32_t instead
of unsigned int. This actually makes a difference to the code, but just
a curiosity.
