This includes file and socket objects, backed by Unix file descriptor.
This improves compatibility with stmhal's uselect (and convenience of
use), though not completely: return value from poll.poll() is still
raw file descriptor.
The first argument to the type.make_new method is naturally a uPy type,
and all uses of this argument cast it directly to a pointer to a type
structure. So it makes sense to just have it a pointer to a type from
the very beginning (and a const pointer at that). This patch makes
such a change, and removes all unnecessary casting to/from mp_obj_t.
This patch changes the type signature of .make_new and .call object method
slots to use size_t for n_args and n_kw (was mp_uint_t. Makes code more
efficient when mp_uint_t is larger than a machine word. Doesn't affect
ports when size_t and mp_uint_t have the same size.
This allows the mp_obj_t type to be configured to something other than a
pointer-sized primitive type.
This patch also includes additional changes to allow the code to compile
when sizeof(mp_uint_t) != sizeof(void*), such as using size_t instead of
mp_uint_t, and various casts.
Return tuple of (address_family, net_addr, [port, [extra_data]]). net_addr
is still raw network address as bytes object, but suitable for passing to
inet_ntop() function. At the very least, sockaddr() will separate address
family value from binary socket address (and currently, only AF_INET family
is decoded).
inet_pton supports both ipv4 and ipv6 addresses. Interface is also extensible
for other address families, but underlying libc inet_pton() function isn't
really extensible (e.g., it doesn't return length of binary address, i.e. it's
really hardcoded to AF_INET and AF_INET6). But anyway, on Python side, we could
extend it to support other addresses.
sendto() turns out to be mandatory function to work with UDP. It may seem
that connect(addr) + send() would achieve the same effect, but what connect()
appears to do is to set source address filter on a socket to its argument.
Then everything falls apart: socket sends to a broad-/multi-cast address,
but reply is sent from real peer address, which doesn't match filter set
by connect(), so local socket never sees a reply.
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.
mp_obj_int_get_truncated is used as a "fast path" int accessor that
doesn't check for overflow and returns the int truncated to the machine
word size, ie mp_int_t.
Use mp_obj_int_get_truncated to fix struct.pack when packing maximum word
sized values.
Addresses issues #779 and #998.
This makes open() and _io.FileIO() more CPython compliant.
The mode kwarg is fully iplemented.
The encoding kwarg is allowed but not implemented; mainly to allow
the tests to specify encoding for CPython, see #874
Also, usocket.readinto(). Known issue is that .readinto() should be available
only for binary files, but micropython uses single method table for both
binary and text files.
Per new conventions, we'd like to consistently use "u*" naming conventions
for modules which don't offer complete CPython compatibility, while offer
subset or similar API.
For the sake of older versions of gcc (and other compilers), don't use
the #warning CPP directive, nor the -Wno-error=cpp option.
Also, fix a strict alias warning in modffi.c for older compilers, and
add a test for ffi module.
Addresses issue #847.
