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).
- msvc preprocessor output contains full paths with backslashes so the
':' and '\' characters needs to be erased from the paths as well
- use a regex for extraction of filenames from preprocessor output so it
can handle both gcc and msvc preprocessor output, and spaces in paths
(also thanks to a PR from @travnicekivo for part of that regex)
- os.rename will fail on windows if the destination file already exists,
so simply attempt to delete that file first
Several ports use identical code for the 1-argument form of the builtin
help function. Move this code to a library function to allow easier
re-use by ports.
Most pin I/O can be done just knowing the pin number as a simple
integer, and it's more efficient this way (code size, speed) because it
doesn't require a memory lookup to get the pin id from the pin object.
If the full pin object is needed then it can be easily looked up in the
pin table.
