A DFU device must be in the idle state before it can be programmed, and
this requires either clearing the status or aborting, depending on its
current state. Code is added to do this. And the USB transfer size is now
automatically detected so devices with a size less than 2048 bytes work
correctly.
We standardized to provide uos.remove() as a more obvious and user-friendly
name. That's what written in the docs. The Unix port implementation
predates this convention, so update it now.
There was an assumption that all names in a module dict are qstr's.
However, they can be dynamically generated (by assigning to globals()),
and in case of a long name, it won't be a qstr. Handle this situation
properly, including taking care of not creating superfluous qstr's for
names starting with "_" (which aren't imported by "import *").
CPython does not have an implementation of select.poll() on some
operating systems (Windows, OSX depending on version) so skip the
test in those cases instead of failing it.
Taking the address of a local variable is mildly expensive, in code size
and stack usage. So optimise scope_find_or_add_id() to not need to take a
pointer to the "added" variable, and instead take the kind to use for newly
added identifiers.
This ensures that implicit variables are only converted to implicit
closed-over variables (nonlocals) at the very end of the function scope.
If variables are closed-over when first used (read from, as was done prior
to this commit) then this can be incorrect because the variable may be
assigned to later on in the function which means they are just a plain
local, not closed over.
Fixes issue #4272.
The way it was written previously the variable x was not an implicit
nonlocal, it was just a normal local (but the compiler has a bug which
incorrectly makes it a nonlocal).
Building axtls gives a lot of warnings with -Wall enabled, and explicitly
disabling all of them cannot be done in a way compatible with gcc and
clang, and likely other compilers. So just use -Wno-all to prevent all of
the extra warnings (in addition to the necessary -Wno-unused-parameter,
-Wno-uninitialized, -Wno-sign-compare and -Wno-old-style-definition).
Fixes issue #4182.
1. Use uctypes.bytearray_at().
Implementation of the "ffi" module predates that of "uctypes", so
initially some convenience functions to access memory were added
to ffi. Later, they landed in uctypes (which follows CPython's
ctype module).
So, replace undocumented experimental functions from ffi to
documented ones from uctypes.
2. Use more suitable type codes for arguments (e.g. "P" (const void*)
instead of "p" (void*).
3. Some better var naming.
4. Clarify some messages printed by the example.
Examples are added to the beginning of the module docs, similarly to docs
for many other modules.
Improvements to grammar, style, and clarity. Some paragraphs are updated
with better suggestions. A warning added of the effect incorrect usage of
the module may have. Describe the fact that offset range used in one
defined structure is limited.
