2015-08-17unix-cpy: Remove unix-cpy. It's no longer needed.Damien George
unix-cpy was originally written to get semantic equivalent with CPython without writing functional tests. When writing the initial implementation of uPy it was a long way between lexer and functional tests, so the half-way test was to make sure that the bytecode was correct. The idea was that if the uPy bytecode matched CPython 1-1 then uPy would be proper Python if the bytecodes acted correctly. And having matching bytecode meant that it was less likely to miss some deep subtlety in the Python semantics that would require an architectural change later on. But that is all history and it no longer makes sense to retain the ability to output CPython bytecode, because: 1. It outputs CPython 3.3 compatible bytecode. CPython's bytecode changes from version to version, and seems to have changed quite a bit in 3.5. There's no point in changing the bytecode output to match CPython anymore. 2. uPy and CPy do different optimisations to the bytecode which makes it harder to match. 3. The bytecode tests are not run. They were never part of Travis and are not run locally anymore. 4. The EMIT_CPYTHON option needs a lot of extra source code which adds heaps of noise, especially in compile.c. 5. Now that there is an extensive test suite (which tests functionality) there is no need to match the bytecode. Some very subtle behaviour is tested with the test suite and passing these tests is a much better way to stay Python-language compliant, rather than trying to match CPy bytecode.
2015-03-26py, compiler: Refactor load/store/delete_id logic to reduce code size.Damien George
Saves around 230 bytes on Thumb2 and 750 bytes on x86.
2015-01-16py: Remove unnecessary id_flags argument from emitter's load_fast.Damien George
Saves 24 bytes in bare-arm.
2015-01-01py: Move to guarded includes, everywhere in py/ core.Damien George
Addresses issue #1022.
2014-09-08py: Convert [u]int to mp_[u]int_t in emit.h and associated .c files.Damien George
Towards resolving issue #50.
2014-06-21py: Include mpconfig.h before all other includes.Paul Sokolovsky
It defines types used by all other headers. Fixes #691.
2014-05-03Add license header to (almost) all files.Damien George
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/.
2014-04-13Merge pull request #471 from errordeveloper/misc_fix/unistdDamien George
py: the entire `<unistd.h>` shouldn't be needed
2014-04-13py: Remove unique_codes from emitglue.c. Replace with pointers.Damien George
Attempt to address issue #386. unique_code_id's have been removed and replaced with a pointer to the "raw code" information. This pointer is stored in the actual byte code (aligned, so the GC can trace it), so that raw code (ie byte code, native code and inline assembler) is kept only for as long as it is needed. In memory it's now like a tree: the outer module's byte code points directly to its children's raw code. So when the outer code gets freed, if there are no remaining functions that need the raw code, then the children's code gets freed as well. This is pretty much like CPython does it, except that CPython stores indexes in the byte code rather than machine pointers. These indices index the per-function constant table in order to find the relevant code.

2014-04-09py: Properly implement deletion of locals and derefs, and detect errors.Damien George
Needed to reinstate 2 delete opcodes, to specifically check that a local is not deleted twice.
2014-03-17py: Clean up includes.xbe
Remove unnecessary includes. Add includes that improve portability.
2014-02-26py: Remove name of var arg from macros with var args.Damien George
2014-01-21Revamp qstrs: they now include length and hash.Damien George
Can now have null bytes in strings. Can define ROM qstrs per port using qstrdefsport.h
2013-12-21Change object representation from 1 big union to individual structs.Damien
A big change. Micro Python objects are allocated as individual structs with the first element being a pointer to the type information (which is itself an object). This scheme follows CPython. Much more flexible, not necessarily slower, uses same heap memory, and can allocate objects statically. Also change name prefix, from py_ to mp_ (mp for Micro Python).
2013-10-20Add local_num skeleton framework to deref/closure emit calls.Damien
2013-10-12Separate out mpy core and unix version.Damien
2013-10-05Factorise EMIT_COMMON calls, mostly into emit_pass1.Damien
2013-10-05Restructure emit so it goes through a method table.Damien
