CircuitPython - a Python implementation for teaching coding with microcontrollers https://git.suspectdevices.com/suspect-devices/circuitpython/atom?h=5.3.1 2018-08-17T00:40:57+00:00 2018-08-17T00:40:57+00:00 Scott Shawcroft scott@tannewt.org 2018-08-16T01:32:37+00:00 urn:sha1:de5a9d72dcdaacdd5048195cd5bab007f4b2baef This saves code space in builds which use link-time optimization. The optimization drops the untranslated strings and replaces them with a compressed_string_t struct. It can then be decompressed to a c string. Builds without LTO work as well but include both untranslated strings and compressed strings. This work could be expanded to include QSTRs and loaded strings if a compress method is added to C. Its tracked in #531.
