This provides a more consistent C-level API to raise exceptions, ie moving
away from nlr_raise towards mp_raise_XXX. It also reduces code size by a
small amount on some ports.
In CPython the random module is seeded differently on each import, and so
this new macro option MICROPY_PY_URANDOM_SEED_INIT_FUNC allows to implement
such a behaviour.
Header files that are considered internal to the py core and should not
normally be included directly are:
py/nlr.h - internal nlr configuration and declarations
py/bc0.h - contains bytecode macro definitions
py/runtime0.h - contains basic runtime enums
Instead, the top-level header files to include are one of:
py/obj.h - includes runtime0.h and defines everything to use the
mp_obj_t type
py/runtime.h - includes mpstate.h and hence nlr.h, obj.h, runtime0.h,
and defines everything to use the general runtime support functions
Additional, specific headers (eg py/objlist.h) can be included if needed.
Functions added are:
- randint
- randrange
- choice
- random
- uniform
They are enabled with configuration variable
MICROPY_PY_URANDOM_EXTRA_FUNCS, which is disabled by default. It is
enabled for unix coverage build and stmhal.
Seedable and reproducible pseudo-random number generator. Implemented
functions are getrandbits(n) (n <= 32) and seed().
