If TEST is defined, file it refers to will be used as the testsuite
source (should be generated with tools/tinytest-codegen.py).
"make-bin-testsuite" script is introduce to build such a binary.
This time hopefully should work reliably, using make $(wildcard) function,
which in this case either expands to existing prj_$(BOARD).conf file, or to
an empty string for non-existing one.
This patch simplifies the str creation API to favour the common case of
creating a str object that is not forced to be interned. To force
interning of a new str the new mp_obj_new_str_via_qstr function is added,
and should only be used if warranted.
Apart from simplifying the mp_obj_new_str function (and making it have the
same signature as mp_obj_new_bytes), this patch also reduces code size by a
bit (-16 bytes for bare-arm and roughly -40 bytes on the bare-metal archs).
While this console API improves handling on real hardware boards
(e.g. clipboard paste is much more reliable, as well as programmatic
communication), it vice-versa poses problems under QEMU, apparently
because it doesn't emulate UART interrupt handling faithfully. That
leads to inability to run the testsuite on QEMU at all. To work that
around, we have to suuport both old and new console routines, and use
the old ones under QEMU.
Ideally, these should be configurable from Python (using network module),
but as that doesn't exist, we better off using Zephyr's native bootstrap
configuration facility.
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.
This is to keep the top-level directory clean, to make it clear what is
core and what is a port, and to allow the repository to grow with new ports
in a sustainable way.
