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.
Add the project file to the mpy-cross directory, which is also where the
executable ends up, and change the Appveyor settings to build mpy-cross
with both msvc and mingw-w64 and verify this all works by running tests
with --via-mpy.
If this is not set it might default to calls to open() to use text mode
which is usually not wanted, and even wrong and leading to incorrect
results when loading binary .mpy files.
This also means that text files written and read will not have line-ending
translation from \n to \r\n and vice-versa anymore. This shouldn't be much
of a problem though since most tools dealing with text files adapt
automatically to any of the 2 formats.
Reserve sources.props for listing just the MicroPython core and extmod
files, similar to how py.mk lists port-independent source files. This
allows reusing the source list, for instance for building mpy-cross. The
sources for building the executable itself are listed in the corresponding
project file, similar to how the other ports specify the source files in
their Makefile.
Append to PyIncDirs, used to define include directories specific to
MicroPython, instead of just overwriting it so project files importing this
file can define additional directories. And allow defining the target
directory for the executable instead of hardcoding it to the windows
directory. Main reason for this change is that it will allow building
mpy-cross with msvc.
We want the .vcxproj to be just a container with the minimum content for
making it work as a project file for Visual Studio and MSBuild, whereas the
actual build options and actions get placed in separate reusable files.
This was roughly the case already except some compiler options were
overlooked; fix this here: we'll need those common options when adding a
project file for building mpy-cross.
These were probably added to detect more qstrs but as long as the
micropython executable itself doesn't use the same build options the qstrs
would be unused anyway. Furthermore these definitions are for internal use
and get enabled when corresponding MICROPY_EMIT_XXX are defined, in which
case the compiler would warn about symbol redefinitions since they'd be
defined both here and in the source.
