Length was stored as a 16-bit number always. Most translations have
a max length far less. For example, US English translation lengths
always fit in just 8 bits. probably all languages fit in 9 bits.
This also has the side effect of reducing the alignment of
compressed_string_t from 2 bytes to 1.
testing performed: ran in german and english on pyruler, printed messages
looked right.
Firmware size, en_US
Before: 3044 bytes free in flash
After: 3408 bytes free in flash
Firmware size, de_DE (with #2967 merged to restore translations)
Before: 1236 bytes free in flash
After: 1600 bytes free in flash

If a translation only has unicode code points 255 and below, the "values"
array can be 8 bits instead of 16 bits. This reclaims some code size,
e.g., in a local build, trinket_m0 / en_US reclaimed 112 bytes and de_DE
reclaimed 104 bytes. However, languages like zh_Latn_pinyin, which use
code points above 255, did not benefit.

By treating each unicode code-point as a single entity for huffman
compression, the overall compression rate can be somewhat improved
without changing the algorithm. On the decompression side, when
compressed values above 127 are encountered, they need to be
converted from a 16-bit Unicode code point into a UTF-8 byte
sequence.
Doing this returns approximately 1.5kB of flash storage with the
zh_Latn_pinyin translation. (292 -> 1768 bytes remaining in my build
of trinket_m0)
Other "more ASCII" translations benefit less, and in fact
zh_Latn_pinyin is no longer the most constrained translation!
(de_DE 1156 -> 1384 bytes free in flash, I didn't check others
before pushing for CI)
English is slightly pessimized, 2840 -> 2788 bytes, probably mostly
because the "values" array was changed from uint8_t to uint16_t,
which is strictly not required for an all-ASCII translation. This
could probably be avoided in this case, but as English is not the
most constrained translation it doesn't really matter.
Testing performed: built for feather nRF52840 express and trinket m0
in English and zh_Latn_pinyin; ran and verified the localized
messages such as

It is possible for this routine to expand some inputs, and in fact
it does for certan strings in the proposed Korean translation of
CircuitPython (#1858). I did not determine what the maximum
expansion is -- it's probably modest, like len()/7+2 bytes or
something -- so I tried to just make enc[] an adequate
over-allocation, and then ensured that all the strings in the
proposed ko.po now worked. The worst actual expansion seems to be a
string that goes from 65 UTF-8-encoded bytes to 68 compressed bytes
(+4.6%). Only a few out of all strings are reported as
non-compressed.

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.

Escape table was incorrect

* Fix finding translations with escaped characters.
* Add back \r to translations since its needed by screen.

If MICROPY_PY_ALL_SPECIAL_METHODS is enabled then dir() will now delegate
to the special method __dir__ if the object it is listing has this method.
|
|
Update makeqstrdata.py to sort strings starting with "__" to the beginning
of qstr list, so they get low qstr id's, guaranteedly fitting in 8 bits.
Then use this property to further compact op_id => qstr mapping arrays.
|
|
|
|
When rendering the qstr for a C header file, the double-quate character
must be escaped.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The qstr data needs to be turned into a proper C string so non-ASCII
chars must be properly escaped according to C rules.
|
|
Non-printable characters are escaped as 0xXX, where XX are the hex
digits of the character value.

The usual cause would be that a cross-compiler for a port is not in PATH.
|
|
Fetch the current usb mode and return a string representation when
pyb.usb_mode() is called with no args. The possible string values are interned
as qstr's. None will be returned if an incorrect mode is set.

This patch makes configurable, via MICROPY_QSTR_BYTES_IN_HASH, the
number of bytes used for a qstr hash. It was originally fixed at 2
bytes, and now defaults to 2 bytes. Setting it to 1 byte will save
ROM and RAM at a small expense of hash collisions.
|
|
These scripts should run under as wide a range of Python versions as
possible.
|
|
|

This new config option sets how many fixed-number-of-bytes to use to
store the length of each qstr. Previously this was hard coded to 2,
but, as per issue #1056, this is considered overkill since no-one
needs identifiers longer than 255 bytes.
With this patch the number of bytes for the length is configurable, and
defaults to 1 byte. The configuration option filters through to the
makeqstrdata.py script.
Code size savings going from 2 to 1 byte:
- unix x64 down by 592 bytes
- stmhal down by 1148 bytes
- bare-arm down by 284 bytes
Also has RAM savings, and will be slightly more efficient in execution.

Script is equivalent, but now also runs under ancient Python 2.6.
Goes part way to addressing issue #847.

The original parsing would error out on any C declarations that are not typedefs
or extern variables. This limits what can go in mpconfig.h and mpconfigport.h,
as they are included in qstr.h. For instance even a function declaration would be
rejected and including system headers is a complete no-go.
That seems too limiting for a global config header, so makeqstrdata now
ignores everything that does not match a qstr definition.

I was too hasty. Still a one-liner though.
|
|
A one-liner, added especially for @pfalcon :)

These largely duplicate str() & bytes() constructors' functionality,
but can be used to achieve Python2 compatibility.
|
|
This is alternative implementation of supporting conditionals in qstrdefs.h,
hard to say if it's much cleaner than munging #ifdef's in Python code...
|
|
This reverts commit acb133d1b1a68847bd85c545312c3e221a6f7c0b.
Conditionals will be suported using C preprocessor.
|
|
Syntax is usual C #if*/#endif, but each qstr must be wrapped individually.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is compatible with what search path was before sys.path refactor,
with addition of module library path ("0:/lib").
|
|
Ultimately all static strings should be qstr. This entry in the type
structure is only used for printing error messages (to tell the type of
the bad argument), and printing objects that don't supply a .print method.
