David Lechner 81dbea1ce3 shared/readline: Use MP_REGISTER_ROOT_POINTER().
This uses MP_REGISTER_ROOT_POINTER() to register the readline_history root
pointer array used by shared/readline.c and removes the registration from
all mpconfigport.h files.

This also required adding a new MICROPY_READLINE_HISTORY_SIZE config option
since not all ports used the same sized array.

Damien George fe55d3e016 unix/variants: Move setting of MICROPY_PY_USELECT to port config file.
The default is the same as before: MICROPY_PY_USELECT=0 and
MICROPY_PY_USELECT_POSIX=1.  But now this can be easily overridden at the
make command-line using, eg:

    make VARIANT=dev CFLAGS_EXTRA=-DMICROPY_PY_USELECT=1

Damien George 6e71cde6aa ports: Use default VFS config for import_stat and builtin_open.
For ports with MICROPY_VFS and MICROPY_PY_IO enabled their configuration
can now be simplified to use the defaults for mp_import_stat and
mp_builtin_open.

This commit makes no functional change, except for the following minor
points:
- the built-in "open" is removed from the minimal port (it previously did
  nothing)
- the duplicate built-in "input" is removed from the esp32 port
- qemu-arm now delegates to VFS import/open

Damien George 2b409ef8a4 unix/moduos: Convert module to use extmod version.
All variants now use extmod/moduos.c as their uos module implementation.
In particular this means they all have MICROPY_VFS enabled and use VfsPosix
for their filesystem.

As part of this, the available functions in uos become more consistent with
other ports:
- coverage variant gets uos.urandom
- minimal and standard variant get: unlink, chdir, getcwd, listdir

Damien George fbd47fc46c ports: Consolidate inclusion of umachine module in built-ins.
The inclusion of `umachine` in the list of built-in modules is now done
centrally in py/objmodule.c.  Enabling MICROPY_PY_MACHINE will include this
module.

As part of this, all ports now have `umachine` as the core module name
(previously some had only `machine` as the name).

Damien George aac5a97d08 ports: Move '.frozen' to second entry in sys.path.
In commit 86ce442607 the '.frozen' entry was
added at the start of sys.path, to allow control over when frozen modules
are searched during import, and retain existing behaviour whereby frozen
was searched before the filesystem.

But Python semantics of sys.path require sys.path[0] to be the directory of
the currently executing script, or ''.

This commit moves the '.frozen' entry to second place in sys.path, so
sys.path[0] retains its correct value (described above).

Frozen modules will be searched preferentially, but gives the user the

This matches the previous behavior where "" was implicitly the frozen
search path, but the frozen list was checked before the filesystem.

Jim Mussared a7fa18c203 py/builtinimport: Refactor module importing.
Simplify and document/comment the handling of builtin import for:
- already-loaded modules
- built-in modules
- built-in umodules (formerly weak links)
- filesystem modules

Retains existing functionality with smaller code size but should also
facilitate potential new features (built-in packages, controlling the
frozen path).

Also makes the (unix-only) -m behavior a bit more obvious and configurable.

Jim Mussared b326edf68c all: Remove MICROPY_OPT_CACHE_MAP_LOOKUP_IN_BYTECODE.
This commit removes all parts of code associated with the existing
MICROPY_OPT_CACHE_MAP_LOOKUP_IN_BYTECODE optimisation option, including the
-mcache-lookup-bc option to mpy-cross.

This feature originally provided a significant performance boost for Unix,
but wasn't able to be enabled for MCU targets (due to frozen bytecode), and
added significant extra complexity to generating and distributing .mpy
files.

The equivalent performance gain is now provided by the combination of
MICROPY_OPT_LOAD_ATTR_FAST_PATH and MICROPY_OPT_MAP_LOOKUP_CACHE (which has
been enabled on the unix port in the previous commit).

It's hard to provide precise performance numbers, but tests have been run
on a wide variety of architectures (x86-64, ARM Cortex, Aarch64, RISC-V,
xtensa) and they all generally agree on the qualitative improvements seen
by the combination of MICROPY_OPT_LOAD_ATTR_FAST_PATH and
MICROPY_OPT_MAP_LOOKUP_CACHE.

For example, on a "quiet" Linux x64 environment (i3-5010U @ 2.10GHz) the
change from CACHE_MAP_LOOKUP_IN_BYTECODE, to LOAD_ATTR_FAST_PATH combined
with MAP_LOOKUP_CACHE is:

misc_raytrace.py   21490.40 ->   22227.23 :   +736.83 =  +3.429% (+/-1.88%)

This shows that the new optimisations are at least as good as the existing
inline-bytecode-caching, and are sometimes much better (because the new
ones apply caching to a wider variety of map lookups).

The new optimisations can also benefit code generated by the native
emitter, because they apply to the runtime rather than the generated code.
The improvement for the native emitter when LOAD_ATTR_FAST_PATH and
MAP_LOOKUP_CACHE are enabled is (same Linux environment as above):

misc_raytrace.py   19800.01 ->   23350.73 :  +3550.72 = +17.933% (+/-2.79%)

In summary, compared to MICROPY_OPT_CACHE_MAP_LOOKUP_IN_BYTECODE, the new
MICROPY_OPT_LOAD_ATTR_FAST_PATH and MICROPY_OPT_MAP_LOOKUP_CACHE options:
- are simpler;
- take less code size;
- are faster (generally);
- work with code generated by the native emitter;
- can be used on embedded targets with a small and constant RAM overhead;
- allow the same .mpy bytecode to run on all targets.

See #7680 for further discussion.  And see also #7653 for a discussion
about simplifying mpy-cross options.

Jim Mussared 692d36d779 py: Implement partial PEP-498 (f-string) support.
This implements (most of) the PEP-498 spec for f-strings and is based on
https://github.com/micropython/micropython/pull/4998 by @klardotsh.

It is implemented in the lexer as a syntax translation to `str.format`:
  f"{a}" --> "{}".format(a)

It also supports:
  f"{a=}" --> "a={}".format(a)

This is done by extracting the arguments into a temporary vstr buffer,
then after the string has been tokenized, the lexer input queue is saved
and the contents of the temporary vstr buffer are injected into the lexer
instead.

There are four main limitations:
- raw f-strings (`fr` or `rf` prefixes) are not supported and will raise
  `SyntaxError: raw f-strings are not supported`.

- literal concatenation of f-strings with adjacent strings will fail
    "{}" f"{a}" --> "{}{}".format(a)    (str.format will incorrectly use
                                         the braces from the non-f-string)
    f"{a}" f"{a}" --> "{}".format(a) "{}".format(a) (cannot concatenate)

- PEP-498 requires the full parser to understand the interpolated
  argument, however because this entirely runs in the lexer it cannot
  resolve nested braces in expressions like
    f"{'}'}"

- The !r, !s, and !a conversions are not supported.

Includes tests and cpydiffs.

Jim Mussared 1b1b22905e unix: Implement BLE H4 HCI UART for btstack/nimble.
This commit adds support for using Bluetooth on the unix port via a H4
serial interface (distinct from a USB dongle), with both BTstack and NimBLE
Bluetooth stacks.

Note that MICROPY_PY_BLUETOOTH is now disabled for the coverage variant.
Prior to this commit Bluetooth was anyway not being built on Travis because
libusb was not detected.  But now that bluetooth works in H4 mode it will
be built, and will lead to a large decrease in coverage because Bluetooth
tests cannot be run on Travis.

Jim Mussared 710426024a all: Factor gchelper code to one place and use it for unix & ARM ports.
No functionality change is intended with this commit, it just consolidates
the separate implementations of GC helper code to the lib/utils/ directory
as a general set of helper functions useful for any port.  This reduces
duplication of code, and makes it easier for future ports or embedders to
get the GC implementation correct.

Ports should now link against gchelper_native.c and either gchelper_m0.s or
gchelper_m3.s (currently only Cortex-M is supported but other architectures
can follow), or use the fallback gchelper_generic.c which will work on
x86/x64/ARM.

The gc_helper_get_sp function from gchelper_m3.s is not really GC related
and was only used by cc3200, so it has been moved to that port and renamed
to cortex_m3_get_sp.

Addition of GIL EXIT/ENTER pairs are:

  threads are blocked when the REPL or the builtin input function are used.

Nicko van Someren 4c93955b7b py/objslice: Add support for indices() method on slice objects.
Instances of the slice class are passed to __getitem__() on objects when
the user indexes them with a slice.  In practice the majority of the time
(other than passing it on untouched) is to work out what the slice means in
the context of an array dimension of a particular length.  Since Python 2.3
there has been a method on the slice class, indices(), that takes a
dimension length and returns the real start, stop and step, accounting for
missing or negative values in the slice spec.  This commit implements such
a indices() method on the slice class.

It is configurable at compile-time via MICROPY_PY_BUILTINS_SLICE_INDICES,
disabled by default, enabled on unix, stm32 and esp32 ports.

This commit also adds new tests for slice indices and for slicing unicode
strings.

This commit removes the Makefile-level MICROPY_FATFS config and moves the
MICROPY_VFS_FAT config to the Makefile level to replace it.  It also moves
the include of the oofatfs source files in the build from each port to a

For a port to enabled VFS FAT support it should now set MICROPY_VFS_FAT=1
at the level of the Makefile.  This will include the relevant oofatfs files
in the build and set MICROPY_VFS_FAT=1 at the C (preprocessor) level.

This patch in effect renames MICROPY_DEBUG_PRINTER_DEST to
MICROPY_DEBUG_PRINTER, moving its default definition from
lib/utils/printf.c to py/mpconfig.h to make it official and documented, and
makes this macro a pointer rather than the actual mp_print_t struct.  This
is done to get consistency with MICROPY_ERROR_PRINTER, and provide this
macro for use outside just lib/utils/printf.c.

Ports are updated to use the new macro name.

Paul Sokolovsky 771911028c unix/mpconfigport.h: Enable MICROPY_PY_UCRYPTOLIB. 2018-06-27 14:56:59 +10:00
Damien George 565f590586 ports: Enable IOBase on unix, stm32, esp8266 and esp32.
It's a core feature, in particular required for user-streams with uasyncio.

Damien George 1d40f12e44 unix: Support MICROPY_VFS_POSIX and enable it in coverage build.
The unix coverage build is now switched fully to the VFS implementation, ie
the uos module is the uos_vfs module.  For example, one can now sandbox uPy
to their home directory via:

    $ ./micropython_coverage

    >>> import uos
    >>> uos.umount('/') # unmount existing root VFS
    >>> vfs = uos.VfsPosix('/home/user') # create new POSIX VFS
    >>> uos.mount(vfs, '/') # mount new POSIX VFS at root

Some filesystem/OS features may no longer work with the coverage build due
to this change, and these need to be gradually fixed.

The standard unix port remains unchanged, it still uses the traditional uos
module which directly accesses the underlying host filesystem.

Paul Sokolovsky e7fc765880 unix/mpconfigport: Disable uio.resource_stream().
This function was implemented as an experiment, and was enabled only in
unix port. To remind, it allows to access arbitrary files frozen as
source modules (vs bytecode).

However, further experimentation showed that the same functionality can
be implemented with frozen bytecode. The process requires more steps, but
with suitable toolset it doesn't matter patch. This process is:

1. Convert binary files into "Python resource module" with
tools/mpy_bin2res.py.
2. Freeze as the bytecode.
3. Use micropython-lib's pkg_resources.resource_stream() to access it.

In other words, the extra step is using tools/mpy_bin2res.py (because
there would be wrapper for uio.resource_stream() anyway).

Going frozen bytecode route allows more flexibility, and same/additional
efficiency:

1. Frozen source support can be disabled altogether for additional code
savings.
2. Resources could be also accessed as a buffer, not just as a stream.

There're few caveats too:

1. It wasn't actually profiled the overhead of storing a resource in
"Python resource module" vs storing it directly, but it's assumed that
overhead is small.
2. The "efficiency" claim above applies to the case when resource
file is frozen as the bytecode. If it's not, it actually will take a
lot of RAM on loading. But in this case, the resource file should not
be used (i.e. generated) in the first place, and micropython-lib's
pkg_resources.resource_stream() implementation has the appropriate
fallback to read the raw files instead. This still poses some distribution
issues, e.g. to deployable to baremetal ports (which almost certainly
would require freezeing as the bytecode), a distribution package should
include the resource module. But for non-freezing deployment, presense
of resource module will lead to memory inefficiency.

All the discussion above reminds why uio.resource_stream() was implemented
in the first place - to address some of the issues above. However, since
then, frozen bytecode approach seems to prevail, so, while there're still
some issues to address with it, this change is being made.

This change saves 488 bytes for the unix x86_64 port.
