These implementations are incorrect (eg f2d and d2f don't handle special
values like 0.0) and proper versions can be provided by libgcc (or
equivalent depending on the toolchain).
libgcc is now linked with the stmhal port so that library will provide
these functions from now on.
The latest fashion is pushing certificate sub-chains, instead of a single
certificate, during TLS handshake. These are pushed via single TLS record
and effectively put minimum size limit on TLS record buffer. Recently,
these commonly grew over 4K, so we have little choice but to adjust.
This patch fixes 2 things when printing a floating-point number that
requires rounding up of the mantissa:
- retain the correct precision; eg 0.99 becomes 1.0, not 1.00
- if the exponent goes from -1 to 0 then render it as +0, not -0
Baremetal ports standardized on providing localtime(). localtime() offers
more functionality, in particular, strftime() can be completely implemented
in Python with localtime().
Taking the address of a local variable leads to increased stack usage, so
the mp_decode_uint_skip() function is added to reduce the need for taking
addresses. The changes in this patch reduce stack usage of a Python call
by 8 bytes on ARM Thumb, by 16 bytes on non-windowing Xtensa archs, and by
16 bytes on x86-64. Code size is also slightly reduced on most archs by
around 32 bytes.
