windows/msvc: Include machine_pinbase.c in build and enable umachine module

2016-06-25T20:49:45+00:00

Fixes linker errors since [ad229477] and adds the umachine module so tests pass.

windows: Follow unix port changes regarding "utime" module.

py: Rename __QSTR_EXTRACT flag to NO_QSTR.

2016-06-15T22:42:48+00:00

It has more usages than just qstr extraction, for example, embedding (where people don't care about efficient predefined qstrs).

windows: Enable multi-processor compilation for msvc

2016-05-08T10:07:57+00:00

This will launch about as many compiler instances as there are logical processors on a machine, and as such significantly speeds up compilation.

windows/msvc: Rewrite qstr auto-generation.

2016-04-25T21:34:24+00:00

Builds have been broken since reworking autogeneration in c618f91 and related, this gets fixed here by applying similar qstr generation logic for the msvc builds: c files are only preprocessed when changed (or not yet preprocessed) and the concatenated output is fed into makeqstrdefs.py. To speed up this process, the concatenated output is already filtered to contain only lines which makeqstrdefs really needs: this makes the qstr generation stage about twice as fast (checked on different machines).

windows/msvc: Implement automatic qstr generation using makeqstrdefs.

2016-04-16T12:19:15+00:00

Note this still needs some work: currently all source files are always preprocessed no matter which one actually changed, moreover that happens file by file without any parallellism so builds are painstakingly slow.

py: Add rules for automated extraction of qstrs from sources.

2016-04-16T12:18:09+00:00

- add template rule that converts a specified source file into a qstring file - add special rule for generating a central header that contains all extracted/autogenerated strings - defined by QSTR_DEFS_COLLECTED variable. Each platform appends a list of sources that may contain qstrings into a new build variable: SRC_QSTR. Any autogenerated prerequisities are should be appened to SRC_QSTR_AUTO_DEPS variable. - remove most qstrings from py/qstrdefs, keep only qstrings that contain special characters - these cannot be easily detected in the sources without additional annotations - remove most manual qstrdefs, use qstrdef autogen for: py, cc3200, stmhal, teensy, unix, windows, pic16bit: - remove all micropython generic qstrdefs except for the special strings that contain special characters (e.g. /,+,<,> etc.) - remove all port specific qstrdefs except for special strings - append sources for qstr generation in platform makefiles (SRC_QSTR)

py: Declare help, input, open builtins in core.

2016-04-14T21:07:56+00:00

These are *defined* per-port, but why redeclare them again and again.

py: Add ability to have frozen persistent bytecode from .mpy files.

2016-04-13T15:07:47+00:00

The config variable MICROPY_MODULE_FROZEN is now made of two separate parts: MICROPY_MODULE_FROZEN_STR and MICROPY_MODULE_FROZEN_MPY. This allows to have none, either or both of frozen strings and frozen mpy files (aka frozen bytecode).

py/runtime: mp_stack_ctrl_init() should be called immediately on startup.

2016-01-29T00:13:42+00:00

Calling it from mp_init() is too late for some ports (like Unix), and leads to incomplete stack frame being captured, with following GC issues. So, now each port should call mp_stack_ctrl_init() on its own, ASAP after startup, and taking special precautions so it really was called before stack variables get allocated (because if such variable with a pointer is missed, it may lead to over-collecting (typical symptom is segfaulting)).
