To let unix port implement "machine" functionality on Python level, and
keep consistent naming in other ports (baremetal ports will use magic
module "symlinking" to still load it on "import machine").
Fixes#1701.
This solves long-standing non-deterministic bug, which manifested itself
on x86 32-bit (at least of reported cases) - segfault on Ctrl+C (i.e.
SIGINT).
For builds where mp_uint_t is larger than size_t, it doesn't make
sense to use such a wide type for qstrs. There can only be as many
qstrs as there is address space on the machine, so size_t is the correct
type to use.
Saves about 3000 bytes of code size when building unix/ port with
MICROPY_OBJ_REPR_D.
size_t is the correct type to use to count things related to the size of
the address space. Using size_t (instead of mp_uint_t) is important for
the efficiency of ports that configure mp_uint_t to larger than the
machine word size.
Similar to recently added feature in unix port: if event triggers for an
objects, its polling flags are automatically reset, so it won't be polled
until they are set again explicitly.
ilistdir() returns iterator which yields triples of (name, type, ino)
where ino is inode number for entry's data, type of entry (file/dir/etc.),
and name of file/dir. listdir() can be easily implemented in terms of this
iterator (which is otherwise more efficient in terms of memory use and may
save expensive call to stat() for each returned entry).
CPython has os.scandir() which also returns an iterator, but it yields
more complex objects of DirEntry type. scandir() can also be easily
implemented in terms of ilistdir().
This allows to have single itertaor type for various internal iterator
types (save rodata space by not having repeating almost-empty type
structures). It works by looking "iternext" method stored in particular
object instance (should be first object field after "base").
Previously, SPI was configured by a board defining MICROPY_HW_ENABLE_SPIx
to 0 or 1. Now, the board should define MICROPY_HW_SPIx_SCK, MISO, MOSI
and NSS. This makes it the same as how I2C is configured.
This allows multiple versions (e.g. Debug/Release, x86/x64) of micropython.exe
to co-exist instead and also solves potential problems where msbuild does not
completely rebuild the output and/or pdb files when switching between builds,
which in turn can cause linker errors in dependent projects.
By default exe/map/... files go in windows/build/$(Configuration)$(Platform)
After each build micropython.exe is still copied from the above directory to
the windows directory though, as that is consistent with the other ports and
the test runner by default uses that location as well.
Also rename env.props -> path.props which is a clearer name,
and add ample documentation in the affected build files.
(also see discussion in #1538)
After an I/O event is triggered for fd, event flags are automatically reset,
so no further events are reported until new event flags are set. This is
an optimization for uasyncio, required to account for coroutine semantics:
each coroutine issues explicit read/write async call, and once that trigger,
no events should be reported to coroutine, unless it again explicitly
requests it. One-shot mode saves one linear scan over the poll array.
Fixes#1684 and makes "not" match Python semantics. The code is also
simplified (the separate MP_BC_NOT opcode is removed) and the patch saves
68 bytes for bare-arm/ and 52 bytes for minimal/.
Previously "not x" was implemented as !mp_unary_op(x, MP_UNARY_OP_BOOL),
so any given object only needs to implement MP_UNARY_OP_BOOL (and the VM
had a special opcode to do the ! bit).
With this patch "not x" is implemented as mp_unary_op(x, MP_UNARY_OP_NOT),
but this operation is caught at the start of mp_unary_op and dispatched as
!mp_obj_is_true(x). mp_obj_is_true has special logic to test for
truthness, and is the correct way to handle the not operation.
Oftentimes, libc, libm, etc. don't come compiled with CPU compressed code
option (Thumb, MIPS16, etc.), but we may still want to use such compressed
code for MicroPython itself.
