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.
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.
Because (for Thumb) a function pointer has the LSB set, pointers to
dynamic functions in RAM (eg native, viper or asm functions) were not
being traced by the GC. This patch is a comprehensive fix for this.
Addresses issue #820.
Also provides setraw() function from "tty" module (which in CPython is
implemented in Python). The idea here is that 95% of "termios" module usage
is to set raw mode to allow access to normal serial devices. Then, instead
of exporting gazillion termios symbols, it's better to implement it in C,
and export minimal number of symbols (mostly baud rates and drain values).
The user code should call micropython.alloc_emergency_exception_buf(size)
where size is the size of the buffer used to print the argument
passed to the exception.
With the test code from #732, and a call to
micropython.alloc_emergenncy_exception_buf(100) the following error is
now printed:
```python
>>> import heartbeat_irq
Uncaught exception in Timer(4) interrupt handler
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "0://heartbeat_irq.py", line 14, in heartbeat_cb
NameError: name 'led' is not defined
```
With unicode enabled, this patch allows reading a fixed number of
characters from text-mode streams; eg file.read(5) will read 5 unicode
chars, which can made of more than 5 bytes.
For an ASCII stream (ie no chars > 127) it only needs to do 1 read. If
there are lots of non-ASCII chars in a stream, then it needs multiple
reads of the underlying object.
Adds a new test for this case. Enables unicode support by default on
unix and stmhal ports.
As I suspected for a long time, for x86, register helper doesn't really make
any difference - there's simply not enough register to keep anything in
them for any prolonged time. Anything gets pushed on stack anyway. So, on
x86, uPy passed all tests even with empty reg helper. So, this setjmp
implementation goes as "untested".
io.FileIO is binary I/O, ans actually optional. Default file type is
io.TextIOWrapper, which provides str results. CPython3 explicitly describes
io.TextIOWrapper as buffered I/O, but we don't have buffering support yet
anyway.
stat() is bad function to use using FFI, because its ABI is largely private.
To start with, Glibc .so doesn't even have "stat" symbol. Then, layout of
struct stat is too implementation-dependent. So, introduce _os to deal
with stat() and other similar cases.
When disabling these via mpconfigport.mk or on the commandline,
the correspoding build options are not set and the sources are not
built so the modules should not be added to the
MICROPY_EXTRA_BUILTIN_MODULES list since they are undefined.
