With 5 arguments to mp_arg_check_num(), some architectures need to pass
values on the stack. So compressing n_args_min, n_args_max, takes_kw into
a single word and passing only 3 arguments makes the call more efficient,
because almost all calls to this function pass in constant values. Code
size is also reduced by a decent amount:
bare-arm: -116
minimal x86: -64
unix x64: -256
unix nanbox: -112
stm32: -324
cc3200: -192
esp8266: -192
esp32: -144
Not all compilers/analysers are smart enough to realise that this function
is never called if MICROPY_ERROR_REPORTING is not TERSE, because the logic
in the code uses if statements rather than #if to select whether to call
this function or not (MSC in debug mode is an example of this, but there
are others). So just unconditionally compile this helper function. The
code-base anyway relies on the linker to remove unused functions.
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.
- Changed: ValueError, TypeError, NotImplementedError
- OSError invocations unchanged, because the corresponding utility
function takes ints, not strings like the long form invocation.
- OverflowError, IndexError and RuntimeError etc. not changed for now
until we decide whether to add new utility functions.
The compiler treats `if (MICROPY_ERROR_REPORTING == MICROPY_ERROR_REPORTING_TERSE)` as
a normal statement and generates assembly for it in degug mode as if MICROPY_ERROR_REPORTING
is an actual symbol instead of a preprocessor definition.
As such linking fails because mp_arg_error_terse_mismatch is not defined when
MICROPY_ERROR_REPORTING_TERSE is detailed or normal.
Going from MICROPY_ERROR_REPORTING_NORMAL to
MICROPY_ERROR_REPORTING_TERSE now saves 2020 bytes ROM for ARM Thumb2,
and 2200 bytes ROM for 32-bit x86.
This is about a 2.5% code size reduction for bare-arm.
Need to have a policy as to how far we go adding keyword support to
built ins. It's nice to have, and gets better CPython compatibility,
but hurts the micro nature of uPy.
Addresses issue #577.
Blanket wide to all .c and .h files. Some files originating from ST are
difficult to deal with (license wise) so it was left out of those.
Also merged modpyb.h, modos.h, modstm.h and modtime.h in stmhal/.
These are to assist in writing native C functions that take positional
and keyword arguments. mp_arg_check_num is for just checking the
number of arguments is correct. mp_arg_parse_all is for parsing
positional and keyword arguments with default values.
