2016-01-11py: Change first arg of type.make_new from mp_obj_t to mp_obj_type_t*.Damien George
The first argument to the type.make_new method is naturally a uPy type, and all uses of this argument cast it directly to a pointer to a type structure. So it makes sense to just have it a pointer to a type from the very beginning (and a const pointer at that). This patch makes such a change, and removes all unnecessary casting to/from mp_obj_t.
2016-01-11py: Change type of .make_new and .call args: mp_uint_t becomes size_t.Damien George
This patch changes the type signature of .make_new and .call object method slots to use size_t for n_args and n_kw (was mp_uint_t. Makes code more efficient when mp_uint_t is larger than a machine word. Doesn't affect ports when size_t and mp_uint_t have the same size.
2015-05-04py: Check that arg to object.__new__ is a user-defined type.Damien George
Addresses issue #1203.
2015-04-11py: Combine load_attr and store_attr type methods into one (attr).Damien George
This simplifies the API for objects and reduces code size (by around 400 bytes on Thumb2, and around 2k on x86). Performance impact was measured with Pystone score, but change was barely noticeable.
2015-01-07py: Add option to cache map lookup results in bytecode.Damien George
This is a simple optimisation inspired by JITing technology: we cache in the bytecode (using 1 byte) the offset of the last successful lookup in a map. This allows us next time round to check in that location in the hash table (mp_map_t) for the desired entry, and if it's there use that entry straight away. Otherwise fallback to a normal map lookup. Works for LOAD_NAME, LOAD_GLOBAL, LOAD_ATTR and STORE_ATTR opcodes. On a few tests it gives >90% cache hit and greatly improves speed of code. Disabled by default. Enabled for unix and stmhal ports.
2015-01-01py: Move to guarded includes, everywhere in py/ core.Damien George
Addresses issue #1022.
2014-11-03py: Fix builtin callable so it checks user-defined instances correctly.Damien George
Addresses issue #953.
2014-05-03Add license header to (almost) all files.Damien George
Blanket wide to all .c and .h files. Some files originating from ST are difficult to deal with (license wise) so it was left out of those. Also merged modpyb.h, modos.h, modstm.h and modtime.h in stmhal/.
2014-05-02objtype: Rename mp_obj_class_t -> mp_obj_instance_t and move to local header.Paul Sokolovsky
TODO: Rename methods.
