Addition of GIL EXIT/ENTER pairs are:
- modos: release the GIL during system calls. CPython does this as well.
- moduselect: release the GIL during the poll() syscall. This call can be
blocking, so it is important to allow other threads to run at this time.
- modusocket: release the GIL during system calls. Many of these calls can
be blocking, so it is important to allow other threads to run.
- unix_mphal: release the GIL during the read and write syscalls in
mp_hal_stdin_rx_chr and mp_hal_stdout_tx_strn. If we don't do this
threads are blocked when the REPL or the builtin input function are used.
- file, main, mpconfigport.h: release GIL during syscalls in built-in
functions that could block.
When CFLAGS_EXTRA/LDFLAGS_EXTRA (or anything) is set on the command line of
a make invocation then it will completely override any setting or appending
of these variables in the makefile(s). This means builds like the coverage
variant will have their mpconfigvariant.mk settings overridden. Fix this
by using CFLAGS/LDFLAGS exclusively in the makefile(s), reserving the
CFLAGS_EXTRA/LDFLAGS_EXTRA variables for external command-line use only.
Commit d96cfd13e3 introduced a regression in
testing for bool objects, that such objects were in some cases no longer
recognised and bools, eg when using mp_obj_is_type(o, &mp_type_bool), or
mp_obj_is_integer(o).
This commit fixes that problem by adding mp_obj_is_bool(o). Builds with
MICROPY_OBJ_IMMEDIATE_OBJS enabled check if the object is any of the const
True or False objects. Builds without it use the old method of ->type
checking, which compiles to smaller code (compared with the former
mentioned method).
Fixes#5538.
When threads and the GIL are enabled, then the qstr mutex is not needed.
The qstr_mutex field is never used in this case because of:
#if MICROPY_PY_THREAD && !MICROPY_PY_THREAD_GIL
#define QSTR_ENTER() mp_thread_mutex_lock(&MP_STATE_VM(qstr_mutex), 1)
#define QSTR_EXIT() mp_thread_mutex_unlock(&MP_STATE_VM(qstr_mutex))
#else
#define QSTR_ENTER()
#define QSTR_EXIT()
#endif
So, we can completely remove qstr_mutex everywhere when MICROPY_PY_THREAD
&& !MICROPY_PY_THREAD_GIL.
When threads and the GIL are enabled, then the GC mutex is not needed. The
gc_mutex field is never used in this case because of:
#if MICROPY_PY_THREAD && !MICROPY_PY_THREAD_GIL
#define GC_ENTER() mp_thread_mutex_lock(&MP_STATE_MEM(gc_mutex), 1)
#define GC_EXIT() mp_thread_mutex_unlock(&MP_STATE_MEM(gc_mutex))
#else
#define GC_ENTER()
#define GC_EXIT()
#endif
So, we can completely remove gc_mutex everywhere when MICROPY_PY_THREAD
&& !MICROPY_PY_THREAD_GIL.
Some parts of code have been aligned to increase readability. In general
'' instead of "" were used wherever possible to keep the same convention
for entire file. Import inspect line has been moved to the top according
to hints reported by pep8 tools. A few extra spaces were removed, a few
missing spaces were added. Comments have been updated, mostly in
"read_dfu_file" function. Some other comments have been capitalized and/or
slightly updated. A few docstrings were fixed as well. No real code
changes intended.
Translate common Ctrl-Left/Right/Delete/Backspace to the EMACS-style
sequences (i.e. Alt key based) for forward-word, backward-word, forwad-kill
and backward-kill. Requires MICROPY_REPL_EMACS_WORDS_MOVE to be defined so
the readline implementation interprets these.
Prior to this commit, if the flash filesystem was not formatted then it
would error: "AttributeError: 'FlashBdev' object has no attribute 'mount'".
That is due to it not being able to detect the filesystem on the block
device and just trying to mount the block device directly.
This commit fixes the issue by just catching all exceptions. Also it's not
needed to try the mount if `flashbdev.bdev` is None.
Can be used where mp_obj_int_get_checked() will overflow due to the
sign-bit solely. This returns an mp_uint_t, so it also verifies the given
integer is not negative.
Currently implemented only for mpz configurations.
This function is called often and with immediate objects enabled it has
more cases, so optimise it for speed. With this optimisation the runtime
is now slightly faster with immediate objects enabled than with them
disabled.
This option (enabled by default for object representation A, B, C) makes
None/False/True objects immediate objects, ie they are no longer a concrete
object in ROM but are rather just values, eg None=0x6 for representation A.
Doing this saves a considerable amount of code size, due to these objects
being widely used:
bare-arm: -392 -0.591%
minimal x86: -252 -0.170% [incl +52(data)]
unix x64: -624 -0.125% [incl -128(data)]
unix nanbox: +0 +0.000%
stm32: -1940 -0.510% PYBV10
cc3200: -1216 -0.659%
esp8266: -404 -0.062% GENERIC
esp32: -732 -0.064% GENERIC[incl +48(data)]
nrf: -988 -0.675% pca10040
samd: -564 -0.556% ADAFRUIT_ITSYBITSY_M4_EXPRESS
Thanks go to @Jongy aka Yonatan Goldschmidt for the idea.
This commit adjusts the definition of qstr encoding in all object
representations by taking a single bit from the qstr space and using it to
distinguish between qstrs and a new kind of literal object: immediate
objects. In other words, the qstr space is divided in two pieces, one half
for qstrs and the other half for immediate objects.
There is still enough room for qstr values (29 bits in representation A on
a 32-bit architecture, and 19 bits in representation C) and the new
immediate objects can be used for things like None, False and True.
This moves the MICROPY_PORT_INIT_FUNC hook to the end of mp_init(), just
before MP_THREAD_GIL_ENTER(), so that everything (in particular the GIL
mutex) is intialized before the hook is called. MICROPY_PORT_DEINIT_FUNC
is also moved to be symmetric (but there is no functional change there).
If a port needs to perform initialisation earlier than
MICROPY_PORT_INIT_FUNC then it can do it before calling mp_init().
This commit adds backward-word, backward-kill-word, forward-word,
forward-kill-word sequences for the REPL, with bindings to Alt+F, Alt+B,
Alt+D and Alt+Backspace respectively. It is disabled by default and can be
enabled via MICROPY_REPL_EMACS_WORDS_MOVE.
Further enabling MICROPY_REPL_EMACS_EXTRA_WORDS_MOVE adds extra bindings
for these new sequences: Ctrl+Right, Ctrl+Left and Ctrl+W.
The features are enabled on unix micropython-coverage and micropython-dev.
During readline development, this function may receive bad `pos` values.
It's easier to understand the assert() failing error than to have a "stack
smashing detected" message.
This adds a short paragraph on how to hook readthedocs.org up. The main
goal is to make people aware of the option, to help with contributing to
the documentation.
Invoking "make" will still build the standard "micropython" executable, but
other variants are now build using, eg, "make VARIANT=minimal". This
follows how bare-metal ports specify a particular board, and allows running
any make target (eg clean, test) with any variant.
Convenience targets (eg "make coverage") are provided to retain the old
behaviour, at least for now.
See issue #3043.
Most types are in rodata/ROM, and mp_obj_base_t.type is a constant pointer,
so enforce this const-ness throughout the code base. If a type ever needs
to be modified (eg a user type) then a simple cast can be used.
This change has the following effects:
- Reduces the resolution of the RTC sub-second counter from 30.52us to
122.07us.
- Allows RTC.calibration() to now support positive values (as well as
negative values).
- Reduces VBAT current consumption in standby mode by a small amount.
For general purpose use 122us resolution of the sub-second counter is
good enough, and the benefits of full range calibration and minor reduction
in VBAT consumption are worth the change.
As the mktime documentation for CPython states: "The earliest date for
which it can generate a time is platform-dependent". In particular on
Windows this depends on the timezone so e.g. for UTC+2 the earliest is 2
hours past midnight January 1970. So change the reference to the earliest
possible, for UTC+14.
