The default behavior is identical to the existing behavior where it starts with the lowest block and looks higher. Now it can also look from the highest block and lower depending on the long_lived parameter to gc_alloc. As the heap fills, the two sections may overlap. When they overlap, a collect may be triggered in order to keep the long lived section compact. However, free space is always eligable for each type of allocation. By starting from either of the end of the heap we have ability to separate short lived objects from long lived ones. This separation reduces heap fragmentation because long lived objects are easy to densely pack. Most objects are short lived initially but may be made long lived when they are referenced by a type or module. This involves copying the memory and then letting the collect phase free the old portion. QSTR pools and chunks are always long lived because they are never freed. The reallocation, collection and free processes are largely unchanged. They simply also maintain an index to the highest free block as well as the lowest. These indices are used to speed up the allocation search until the next collect. In practice, this change may slightly slow down import statements with the benefit that memory is much less fragmented afterwards. For example, a test import into a 20k heap that leaves ~6k free previously had the largest continuous free space of ~400 bytes. After this change, the largest continuous free space is over 3400 bytes. 2017-10-25T05:31:16+00:00 Scott Shawcroft scott.shawcroft@gmail.com 2017-10-25T05:31:16+00:00 urn:sha1:73c15dcf8b1b927757a595a867334b38355ddb8f This is prep for merging in the NRF5 pull request. 2017-10-04T01:37:50+00:00 Damien George damien.p.george@gmail.com 2017-10-04T01:37:50+00:00 urn:sha1:a3dc1b1957d2c96d7c60c2c629c95077b03488a1 Header files that are considered internal to the py core and should not normally be included directly are: py/nlr.h - internal nlr configuration and declarations py/bc0.h - contains bytecode macro definitions py/runtime0.h - contains basic runtime enums Instead, the top-level header files to include are one of: py/obj.h - includes runtime0.h and defines everything to use the mp_obj_t type py/runtime.h - includes mpstate.h and hence nlr.h, obj.h, runtime0.h, and defines everything to use the general runtime support functions Additional, specific headers (eg py/objlist.h) can be included if needed. 2017-08-26T02:17:07+00:00 Dan Halbert halbert@halwitz.org 2017-08-26T02:17:07+00:00 urn:sha1:ef61b5ecb59e9b4e37e3e3c023c62d583c23eb16 cpx build compiles and loads and works in repl; test suite not run yet esp8266 not tested yet 2017-08-15T01:53:36+00:00 Stefan Naumann me@stefannaumann.de 2017-07-24T16:55:14+00:00 urn:sha1:ace9fb54053c29574bdf81ffacc5ddcf9d4b45d9 It enables all the DEBUG_printf outputs in the py/ source code. 2017-07-31T08:35:40+00:00 Alexander Steffen devel.20.webmeister@spamgourmet.com 2017-06-30T07:22:17+00:00 urn:sha1:55f33240f3d7051d4213629e92437a36f1fac50e There were several different spellings of MicroPython present in comments, when there should be only one. 2017-07-12T02:17:38+00:00 Damien George damien.p.george@gmail.com 2017-07-12T02:17:38+00:00 urn:sha1:12d4fa9b37408ed682e52c3d78ecd6c269a4904a gc_free() expects either NULL or a valid pointer into the heap, so the checks for a valid pointer can be turned into assertions. 2017-06-20T17:56:05+00:00 Scott Shawcroft scott.shawcroft@gmail.com 2017-06-20T17:56:05+00:00 urn:sha1:30ee7019ca651bce1fe966c1089fe977d51dc92b Fixes for stmhal USB mass storage, lwIP bindings and VFS regressions This release provides an important fix for the USB mass storage device in the stmhal port by implementing the SCSI SYNCHRONIZE_CACHE command, which is now require by some Operating Systems. There are also fixes for the lwIP bindings to improve non-blocking sockets and error codes. The VFS has some regressions fixed including the ability to statvfs the root.

Switching to _estack fixes this by relying on the location from the linker. Fixes #124
