Without this flag, mingw-w64 uses the MS implementations of snpintf and the likes.
This is not really a problem since they work with the the fixes provided for msvc,
but due to the way mingw-w64's stdio.h is structured we cannot get it to use the fixes.
By default mingw outputs 3 digits instead of the standard 2 so all float
tests using printf fail. Using setenv at the start of the program fixes this.
To accomodate calling platform specific initialization a
MICROPY_MAIN_INIT_FUNC macro is used which is called in mp_init()
The mingw port used _fullpath() until now, but the behaviour is not exactly
the same as realpath()'s on unix; major difference being that it doesn't
return an error for non-existing files, which would bypass main's error
checking and bail out without any error message.
Also realpath() will return forward slashes only since main() relies on that.
The autogenerated header files have been moved about, and an extra
include dir has been added, which means you can give a custom
BUILD=newbuilddir option to make, and everything "just works"
Also tidied up the way the different Makefiles build their include-
directory flags
With MICROPY_EMIT_X64 and MICROPY_EMIT_THUMB disabled, the respective
emitters and assemblers will not be included in the code. This can
significantly reduce binary size for unix version.
E.g.:
/usr/lib/libreadline.so.4.0: undefined reference to `tgetnum'
/usr/lib/libreadline.so.4.0: undefined reference to `tgoto'
/usr/lib/libreadline.so.4.0: undefined reference to `tgetflag'
/usr/lib/libreadline.so.4.0: undefined reference to `tputs'
/usr/lib/libreadline.so.4.0: undefined reference to `tgetent'
/usr/lib/libreadline.so.4.0: undefined reference to `tgetstr'
Tested on linux too, works.
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).
