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.
Ultimately all static strings should be qstr. This entry in the type
structure is only used for printing error messages (to tell the type of
the bad argument), and printing objects that don't supply a .print method.
Using PendSV interrupt at lowest priority, code can now raise an
exception during an interrupt by calling pendsv_nlr_jump. The exception
will be raised when all interrupts are finished. This is used to trap
ctrl-C from the USB VCP to break out of running Python code.
* Add a TARGET definition to Makefile (default PYBOARD).
* Add support for discovery LEDs in led module.
* Add support for discovery user switch in usersw
* Add EXTI interrupt handler for discovery user switch on (PA0).
* Parameterize led and usrsw modules pins and port.
* Issue #83
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).
