Previously, mark operation weren't logged at all, while it's quite useful
to see cascade of marks in case of over-marking (and in other cases too).
Previously, sweep was logged for each block of object in memory, but that
doesn't make much sense and just lead to longer output, harder to parse
by a human. Instead, log sweep only once per object. This is similar to
other memory manager operations, e.g. an object is allocated, then freed.
Or object is allocated, then marked, otherwise swept (one log entry per
operation, with the same memory address in each case).
The default bahaviour for debug builds is to show dialog boxes for asserts
and invalid parameter handling. This is not so nice in general and causes
the Appveyor debug builds to hang because the io\file_seek.py test passes
a closed file descriptor to lseek. Disable this behaviour by printing
assert messages to the output instead of showing the dialog, and by
disabling 'invalid' parameter handling which causes the affected functions
to just return an error and set errno appropriately.
Map indicies are most commonly a qstr, and adding a fast-path for hashing
of a qstr increases overall performance of the runtime.
On pyboard there is a 4% improvement in the pystone benchmark for a cost
of 20 bytes of code size. It's about a 2% improvement on unix.
When looking up and extracting an attribute of an instance, some
attributes must bind self as the first argument to make a working method
call. Previously to this patch, any attribute that was callable had self
bound as the first argument. But Python specs require the check to be
more restrictive, and only functions, closures and generators should have
self bound as the first argument
Addresses issue #1675.
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.
POSIX doesn't guarantee something like that to work, but it works on any
system with careful signal implementation. Roughly, the requirement is
that signal handler is executed in the context of the process, its main
thread, etc. This is true for Linux. Also tested to work without issues
on MacOSX.
Adds a lot of code, makes IRQs a bit less efficient, but is very useful
for debugging. Usage: pyb.irq_stats() returns a memory view that can be
read and written, eg:
list(pyb.irq_stats())
pyb.irq_stats()[0]
pyb.irq_stats()[0] = 0
The patch provides general IRQ_ENTER() and IRQ_EXIT() macros that can be
modified to provide further IRQ statistics if desired.
This builds upon the changes made in 2195046365. Using signal() does not
produce reliable results so SetConsoleCtrlHandler is used, and the handler
is installed only once during initialization instead of removing it in
mp_hal_set_interrupt_char when it is not strictly needed anymore, since
removing it might lead to Ctrl-C events being missed because they are
fired on a seperate thread which might only become alive after the handler
was removed.
Everyone loves to names similar things the same, then there're conflicts
between different libraries. The namespace prefix used is "CRYAL_", which
is weird, and that's good, as that minimizes chance of another conflict.
