From the beginning of this project the RAISE_VARARGS opcode was named and
implemented following CPython, where it has an argument (to the opcode)
counting how many args the raise takes:
raise # 0 args (re-raise previous exception)
raise exc # 1 arg
raise exc from exc2 # 2 args (chained raise)
In the bytecode this operation therefore takes 2 bytes, one for
RAISE_VARARGS and one for the number of args.
This patch splits this opcode into 3, where each is now a single byte.
This reduces bytecode size by 1 byte for each use of raise. Every byte
counts! It also has the benefit of reducing code size (on all ports except
nanbox).
To make progress towards MicroPython supporting Python 3.5, adding the
matmul operator is important because it's a really "low level" part of the
language, being a new token and modifications to the grammar.
It doesn't make sense to make it configurable because 1) it would make the
grammar and lexer complicated/messy; 2) no other operators are
configurable; 3) it's not a feature that can be "dynamically plugged in"
via an import.
And matmul can be useful as a general purpose user-defined operator, it
doesn't have to be just for numpy use.
Based on work done by Jim Mussared.
Enabled by default, but disabled when REPL is connected to the VCP (this is
the existing behaviour). Can be configured at run-time with, eg:
pyb.USB_VCP().init(flow=pyb.USB_VCP.RTS | pyb.USB_VCP.CTS)
The new fdcan.c file provides the low-level C interface to the FDCAN
peripheral, and pyb_can.c is updated to support both traditional CAN and
FDCAN, depending on the MCU being compiled for.
