Two issues are tackled:
1. The calculation of the correct length to print is fixed to treat the
precision as a maximum length instead as the exact length.
This is done for both qstr (%q) and for regular str (%s).
2. Fix the incorrect use of mp_printf("%.*s") to mp_print_strn().
Because of the fix of above issue, some testcases that would print
an embedded null-byte (^@ in test-output) would now fail.
The bug here is that "%s" was used to print null-bytes. Instead,
mp_print_strn is used to make sure all bytes are outputted and the
exact length is respected.
Test-cases are added for both %s and %q with a combination of precision
and padding specifiers.
Previous behaviour is when this argument is set to "true", in which case
the function will raise any pending exception. Setting it to "false" will
cancel any pending exception.
This behaviour of a NULL write C method on a stream that uses the write
adaptor objects is no longer supported. It was only ever used by the
coverage build for testing the fail path of mp_get_stream_raise().
This test for calling gc_realloc() while the GC is locked can be done in
pure Python, so better to do it that way since it can then be tested on
more ports.
These new tests cover cases that can't be reached from Python and get
coverage of py/mpz.c to 100%.
These "unreachable from Python" pieces of code could be removed but they
form an integral part of the mpz C API and may be useful for non-Python
usage of mpz.
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).
Current users of fixed vstr buffers (building file paths) assume that there
is no overflow and do not check for overflow after building the vstr. This
has the potential to lead to NULL pointer dereferences
(when vstr_null_terminated_str returns NULL because it can't allocate RAM
for the terminating byte) and stat'ing and loading invalid path names (due
to the path being truncated). The safest and simplest thing to do in these
cases is just raise an exception if a write goes beyond the end of a fixed
vstr buffer, which is what this patch does. It also simplifies the vstr
code.
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.
