Reserve sources.props for listing just the MicroPython core and extmod
files, similar to how py.mk lists port-independent source files. This
allows reusing the source list, for instance for building mpy-cross. The
sources for building the executable itself are listed in the corresponding
project file, similar to how the other ports specify the source files in
their Makefile.
Append to PyIncDirs, used to define include directories specific to
MicroPython, instead of just overwriting it so project files importing this
file can define additional directories. And allow defining the target
directory for the executable instead of hardcoding it to the windows
directory. Main reason for this change is that it will allow building
mpy-cross with msvc.
We want the .vcxproj to be just a container with the minimum content for
making it work as a project file for Visual Studio and MSBuild, whereas the
actual build options and actions get placed in separate reusable files.
This was roughly the case already except some compiler options were
overlooked; fix this here: we'll need those common options when adding a
project file for building mpy-cross.
These were probably added to detect more qstrs but as long as the
micropython executable itself doesn't use the same build options the qstrs
would be unused anyway. Furthermore these definitions are for internal use
and get enabled when corresponding MICROPY_EMIT_XXX are defined, in which
case the compiler would warn about symbol redefinitions since they'd be
defined both here and in the source.
During make, makemoduledefs.py parses the current builds c files for
MP_REGISTER_MODULE(module_name, obj_module, enabled_define)
These are used to generate a header with the required entries for
"mp_rom_map_elem_t mp_builtin_module_table[]" in py/objmodule.c
Add some more POSIX compatibility by adding a d_type field to the
dirent structure and defining corresponding macros so listdir_next
in the unix' port modos.c can use it, end result being uos.ilistdir
now reports the file type.
Use overrideable properties instead of hardcoding the use of the
default cl executable used by msvc toolsets. This allows using
arbitrary compiler commands for qstr header generation.
The CLToolExe and CLToolPath properties are used because they are,
even though absent from any official documentation, the de-facto
standard as used by the msvc toolsets themselves.
Printing debugging info by defining MICROPY_DEBUG_VERBOSE expects
a definition of the DEBUG_printf function which is readily available
in printf.c so include that file in the build. Before this patch
one would have to manually provide such definition which is tedious.
For the msvc port disable MICROPY_USE_INTERNAL_PRINTF though: the
linker provides no (easy) way to replace printf with the custom
version as defined in printf.c.
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.
