- use correct 'mingw-w64' package name
- small grammar fixes
- modify Cygwin build instructions to use that same compiler as well: the
original mingw is stuck at gcc v4.7 and does not seem to be updated anymore
- make it clear thet uPy also builds using Visual Studio versions > 2013
Ubuntu's mingw32 has gcc 4.2.1, which is rather old and has incorrect
non-initialized variable analysis which produces warnings, which
per MicroPython default settings get turned into errors.
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.
Also make sleep.c self-contained by moving initialization code,
instead of having part of the code in init.c, and add a header file
to accomodate this.
msec_sleep() now uses the usleep() implementation as well.
If VT100 support is not available then a given implementation of
mp_hal_erase_line_from_cursor might need to know the number of characters
to erase.
This patch does not change generated code when VT100 is supported, since
compiler can optimise away the argument.
- add SEEK_XXX definitions, this fixes missing definition in py/stream.c
- move R_OK from realpath.c and add W_OK/F_OK defintions
- move STDXXX_FILENO definitions from mpconfigport for consistency
This allows using (almost) the same code for printing floats everywhere,
removes the dependency on sprintf and uses just snprintf and
applies an msvc-specific fix for snprintf in a single place so
nan/inf are now printed correctly.
- by default look for a user.props in the msvc directory, which is more convenient
than the built-in way of looking for such file in the user's home directory
- make git ignore the file
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.
These allow to fine-tune the compiler to select whether it optimises
tuple assignments of the form a, b = c, d and a, b, c = d, e, f.
Sensible defaults are provided.
Compiler optimises lookup of module.CONST when enabled (an existing
feature). Disabled by default; enabled for unix, windows, stmhal.
Costs about 100 bytes ROM on stmhal.
GC for unix/windows builds doesn't make use of the bss section anymore,
so we do not need the (sometimes complicated) build features and code related to it
- Use a single file env.props for defining the main directories used when building.
env.props resolves the base directory and defines overridable output directories,
and is used by all other build files.
- Fix the build currently failing, basically because the preprocessing command for generating
qstrdefs uses different include directories than the build itself does.
(specifically, qstrdefs.h uses #include "py/mpconfig.h" since the fixes for #1022
in 51dfcb4, so we need to use the base directory as include directory, not the py dir itself).
So define a single variable containing the include directories instead and use it where needed.
This patch adds a configuration option (MICROPY_CAN_OVERRIDE_BUILTINS)
which, when enabled, allows to override all names within the builtins
module. A builtins override dict is created the first time the user
assigns to a name in the builtins model, and then that dict is searched
first on subsequent lookups. Note that this implementation doesn't
allow deleting of names.
This patch also does some refactoring of builtins code, creating the
modbuiltins.c file.
Addresses issue #959.
Specifically, at least Ubuntu's i586-mingw32msvc-gcc doesn't supply
__LITTLE_ENDIAN__ and friends. And as it's safe enough to assume that
Windows is only little-endian, then it's defined unconditionally,
instead of duplicating detection logic in py/mpconfig.h (or adding
windows-specific defines to it).
