ets_loop_iter processes pending tasks, and tasks are considered lower
priority than interrupts, so tasks shouldn't be processed if interrupts
are disabled.
There appears to be issue signature problem with the PPA package we use,
so workaround it this way for now. Warning: with broken signature, there's
always a possibility that PPA was hacked and ships trojaned binaries.
.mpy files contain the name of the source file that they were compiled
from. This patch adds a way to change this name to an arbitrary string,
specified on the command line with the -s option. The default is to use
the full name of the input filename.
This new -s option is useful to strip off a leading directory name so
that mpy-tool.py can freeze packages.
Disabled by default, enabled in unix port. Need for this method easily
pops up when working with text UI/reporting, and coding workalike
manually again and again counter-productive.
Frozen modules are now stored with extensions and with '/' as path
separator. In other words, frozen modules paths stored as they are
in normal filesystem.
Now frozen modules is treated just as a kind of VFS, and all operations
performed on it correspond to operations on normal filesystem. This allows
to support packages properly, and potentially also data files.
This change also have changes to rework frozen bytecode modules support to
use the same framework, but it's not finished (and actually may not work,
as older adhox handling of any type of frozen modules is removed).
Make dupterm subsystem close a term stream object when EOF or error occurs.
There's no other party than dupterm itself in a better position to do this,
and this is required to properly reclaim stream resources, especially if
multiple dupterm sessions may be established (e.g. as networking
connections).
Adding a very first start section to get people going after flashing.
I tried to condense it to a minimum to avoid as much as possible
redundancy and bloating.
Both read and write operations support variants where either a) a single
call is made to the undelying stream implementation and returned buffer
length may be less than requested, or b) calls are repeated until requested
amount of data is collected, shorter amount is returned only in case of
EOF or error.
These operations are available from the level of C support functions to be
used by other C modules to implementations of Python methods to be used in
user-facing objects.
The rationale of these changes is to allow to write concise and robust
code to work with *blocking* streams of types prone to short reads, like
serial interfaces and sockets. Particular object types may select "exact"
vs "once" types of methods depending on their needs. E.g., for sockets,
revc() and send() methods continue to be "once", while read() and write()
thus converted to "exactly" versions.
These changes don't affect non-blocking handling, e.g. trying "exact"
method on the non-blocking socket will return as much data as available
without blocking. No data available is continued to be signaled as None
return value to read() and write().
From the point of view of CPython compatibility, this model is a cross
between its io.RawIOBase and io.BufferedIOBase abstract classes. For
blocking streams, it works as io.BufferedIOBase model (guaranteeing
lack of short reads/writes), while for non-blocking - as io.RawIOBase,
returning None in case of lack of data (instead of raising expensive
exception, as required by io.BufferedIOBase). Such a cross-behavior
should be optimal for MicroPython needs.
