gcc 6.1.1 warns when indentation is misleading, and in this case the
formatting of the code really is misleading. So adjust the formatting
to be clear of the meaning of the code.
Storing a chain of pbuf was an original design of @pfalcon's lwIP socket
module. The problem with storing just one, like modlwip does is that
"peer closed connection" notification is completely asynchronous and out of
band. So, there may be following sequence of actions:
1. pbuf #1 arrives, and stored in a socket.
2. pbuf #2 arrives, and rejected, which causes lwIP to put it into a
queue to re-deliver later.
3. "Peer closed connection" is signaled, and socket is set at such status.
4. pbuf #1 is processed.
5. There's no stored pbufs in teh socket, and socket status is "peer closed
connection", so EOF is returned to a client.
6. pbuf #2 gets redelivered.
Apparently, there's no easy workaround for this, except to queue all
incoming pbufs in a socket. This may lead to increased memory pressure,
as number of pending packets would be regulated only by TCP/IP flow
control, whereas with previous setup lwIP had a global overlook of number
packets waiting for redelivery and could regulate them centrally.
This allows to define an abstract base class which would translate
C-level protocol to Python method calls, and any subclass inheriting
from it will support this feature. This in particular actually enables
recently introduced machine.PinBase class.
Allows to translate C-level pin API to Python-level pin API. In other
words, allows to implement a pin class and Python which will be usable
for efficient C-coded algorithms, like bitbanging SPI/I2C, time_pulse,
etc.
When built for Linux, libffi includes very bloated and workaround exec-alloc
implementation required to work around SELinux and other "sekuritee" features
which real people don't use. MicroPython has own alloc-exec implementation,
used to alloc memory for @micropython.native code. With this option enabled,
uPy's implementation will override libffi's. This saves 11K on x86_64 (and
that accounts for more than half of the libffi code size).
TODO: Possibly, we want to refactor this option to allow either use uPy's
implementation even for libffi, or allow to use libffi's implementation even
for uPy.
This actually saves "only" 6K for x86_64 build, as we're still more or less
careful to #ifdef unneeded code. But relying on --gc-sections in a "lazy"
manner would allow to make #ifdef'ing less pervasive (not suggested right
away, but an option for the future).
The time stamp is taken from the RTC for all newly generated
or changed files. RTC must be maintained separately.
The dummy time stamp of Jan 1, 2000 is set in vfs.stat() for the
root directory, avoiding invalid time values.
MicroPython own readline implementation is superior now by providing
automatic indentation and completion (completion for GNU Readline was
never implemented). MICROPY_USE_READLINE=2 also wasn't build for a long
time and probably broken.
If GNU Readline is still beneficial for some cases, it can be achieved
with external wrappers like "rlwrap" (there will be the same level of
functionality, as again, there never was deep integration, like completion
support).
That's arbitrary restriction, in case of embedding, a source file path may
be absolute. For the purpose of filtering out system includes, checking
for ".c" suffix is enough.
From https://github.com/pfalcon/berkeley-db-1.xx, which so far contains
pristine 1.85, but will get patches and compile warning fixes going
forward.
Berkeley DB 1.xx is BSD-licensed, and will form the basis of "btree"
simple database module.
Docs are now by default rebuilt from scratch, as required to build
conditionalized (i.e. using only:: directive) docs across different
output types. We have pretty small docset, so that's still rather fast.
However, if that's a concern, incremental rebuilds can be used by
passing "FORCE=" (nothing after =) as a make parameter. This will work
when using the same output type (e.g. only "html").
Based on my experience, there's rather non-zero chance to have an image be
flashed incorrectly. As --verify option is now works well in teh latest
esptool.py, enable it by default.
