1. Use uctypes.bytearray_at().
Implementation of the "ffi" module predates that of "uctypes", so
initially some convenience functions to access memory were added
to ffi. Later, they landed in uctypes (which follows CPython's
ctype module).
So, replace undocumented experimental functions from ffi to
documented ones from uctypes.
2. Use more suitable type codes for arguments (e.g. "P" (const void*)
instead of "p" (void*).
3. Some better var naming.
4. Clarify some messages printed by the example.
A shorter name takes less code size, less room in scripts and is faster to
type at the REPL.
Tests and HW-API examples are updated to reflect the change.
This follows the pattern of how all other headers are now included, and
makes it explicit where the header file comes from. This patch also
removes -I options from Makefile's that specify the mp-readline/timeutils/
netutils directories, which are no longer needed.
The -ansi flag is used for C dialect selection and it is equivalent to -std=c90.
Because it goes right before -std=gnu99 it is ignored as for conflicting flags
GCC always uses the last one.
Just one sample is updated with on()/off() for now, there should be
remaining sample(s) showing .value() use (but more can be converted later,
as long as 1 or so good samples of .value() remains).
Implementations of persistent-code reader are provided for POSIX systems
and systems using FatFS. Macros to use these are MICROPY_READER_POSIX and
MICROPY_READER_FATFS respectively. If an alternative implementation is
needed then a port can define the function mp_reader_new_file.
This type was used only for the typedef of mp_obj_t, which is now defined
by the object representation. So we can now remove this unused typedef,
to simplify the mpconfigport.h file.
Name recv() based a "simplistic", as it can't work robustly in every
environment. All this is to let people concentreate on proper, read()-
based one (and to turn recv() based into a "negative showcase",
explaining what are the pitfalls of such approach).
Since "read-exactly" stream refactor, where stream.read(N) will read
exactly N bytes (unless EOF), http_server* examples can't any longer do
client_socket.read(4096) and expect to get full request (it will block
on HTTP/1.1 client). Instead, read request line by line, as the HTTP
protocol requires.
