7 dayspy/parse: Add support for math module constants and float folding.Yoctopuce dev
Add a new MICROPY_COMP_CONST_FLOAT feature, enabled by in mpy-cross and when compiling with MICROPY_CONFIG_ROM_LEVEL_CORE_FEATURES. The new feature leverages the code of MICROPY_COMP_CONST_FOLDING to support folding of floating point constants. If MICROPY_COMP_MODULE_CONST is defined as well, math module constants are made available at compile time. For example: _DEG_TO_GRADIANT = const(math.pi / 180) _INVALID_VALUE = const(math.nan) A few corner cases had to be handled: - The float const folding code should not fold expressions resulting into complex results, as the mpy parser for complex immediates has limitations. - The constant generation code must distinguish between -0.0 and 0.0, which are different even if C consider them as ==. This change removes previous limitations on the use of `const()` expressions that would result in floating point number, so the test cases of micropython/const_error have to be updated. Additional test cases have been added to cover the new repr() code (from a previous commit). A few other simple test cases have been added to handle the use of floats in `const()` expressions, but the float folding code itself is also tested when running general float test cases, as float expressions often get resolved at compile-time (with this change).

2020-03-30tests: Format all Python code with black, except tests in basics subdir.David Lechner
This adds the Python files in the tests/ directory to be formatted with ./tools/codeformat.py. The basics/ subdirectory is excluded for now so we aren't changing too much at once. In a few places `# fmt: off`/`# fmt: on` was used where the code had special formatting for readability or where the test was actually testing the specific formatting.
2018-02-26tests/float: Adjust float-parsing tests to pass with only a small error.Damien George
Float parsing (both single and double precision) may have a relative error of order the floating point precision, so adjust tests to take this into account by not printing all of the digits of the answer.
2018-02-08py/parsenum: Fix parsing of floats that are close to subnormal.Damien George
Prior to this patch, a float literal that was close to subnormal would have a loss of precision when parsed. The worst case was something like float('10000000000000000000e-326') which returned 0.0.
2017-11-27py/parsenum: Improve parsing of floating point numbers.Damien George
This patch improves parsing of floating point numbers by converting all the digits (integer and fractional) together into a number 1 or greater, and then applying the correct power of 10 at the very end. In particular the multiple "multiply by 0.1" operations to build a fraction are now combined together and applied at the same time as the exponent, at the very end. This helps to retain precision during parsing of floats, and also includes a check that the number doesn't overflow during the parsing. One benefit is that a float will have the same value no matter where the decimal point is located, eg 1.23 == 123e-2.
