You can now assign to the range end variable and the for-loop still
works correctly. This fully addresses issue #565.
Also fixed a bug with the stack not being fully popped when breaking out
of an optimised for-loop (and it's actually impossible to write a test
for this case!).
mp_parse_node_free now frees the memory associated with non-interned
strings. And the parser calls mp_parse_node_free when discarding a
non-used node (such as a doc string).
Also, the compiler now frees the parse tree explicitly just before it
exits (as opposed to relying on the caller to do this).
Addresses issue #708 as best we can.
Native emitter can now compile try/except blocks using nlr_push/nlr_pop.
It probably only works for 1 level of exception handling. It doesn't
work on Thumb (only x64).
Native emitter can also handle some additional op codes.
With this patch, 198 tests now pass using "-X emit=native" option to
micropython.
Needed to pop the iterator object when breaking out of a for loop. Need
also to be careful to unwind exception handler before popping iterator.
Addresses issue #635.
This completes non-automatic interning of strings in the parser, so that
doc strings don't take up RAM. It complicates the parser and compiler,
and bloats stmhal by about 300 bytes. It's complicated because now
there are 2 kinds of parse-nodes that can be strings: interned leaves
and non-interned structs.
You can now do:
X = const(123)
Y = const(456 + X)
and the compiler will replace X and Y with their values.
See discussion in issue #266 and issue #573.
Blanket wide to all .c and .h files. Some files originating from ST are
difficult to deal with (license wise) so it was left out of those.
Also merged modpyb.h, modos.h, modstm.h and modtime.h in stmhal/.
New way uses slightly less ROM and RAM, should be slightly faster, and,
most importantly, allows to catch the error "non-keyword arg following
keyword arg".
Addresses issue #466.
Closed over variables are now passed on the stack, instead of creating a
tuple and passing that. This way memory for the closed over variables
can be allocated within the closure object itself. See issue #510 for
background.
Attempt to address issue #386. unique_code_id's have been removed and
replaced with a pointer to the "raw code" information. This pointer is
stored in the actual byte code (aligned, so the GC can trace it), so
that raw code (ie byte code, native code and inline assembler) is kept
only for as long as it is needed. In memory it's now like a tree: the
outer module's byte code points directly to its children's raw code. So
when the outer code gets freed, if there are no remaining functions that
need the raw code, then the children's code gets freed as well.
This is pretty much like CPython does it, except that CPython stores
indexes in the byte code rather than machine pointers. These indices
index the per-function constant table in order to find the relevant
code.
