Before, sizeof() could be applied to a structure field only if that field
was itself a structure. Now it can be applied to PTR and ARRAY fields too.
It's not possible to apply it to scalar fields though, because as soon as
scalar field (int or float) is dereferenced, its value is converted into
Python int/float value, and all original type info is lost. Moreover, we
allow sizeof of type definitions too, and there int is used to represent
(scalar) types. So, we have ambiguity what int may be - either dereferenced
scalar structure field, or encoded scalar type. So, rather throw an error
if user tries to apply sizeof() to int.
Support for packages as argument not implemented, but otherwise error and
exit handling should be correct. This for example will allow to do:
pip-micropython install micropython-test.pystone
micropython -m test.pystone
Improvements are:
2 ctrl-C's are now needed to truly kill running script on pyboard, so
make CDC interface allow multiple ctrl-C's through at once (ie sending
b'\x03\x03' to pyboard now counts as 2 ctrl-C's).
ctrl-C in friendly-repl can now stop multi-line input.
In raw-repl mode, use ctrl-D to indicate end of running script, and also
end of any error message. Thus, output of raw-repl is always at least 2
ctrl-D's and it's much easier to parse.
pyboard.py is now a bit faster, handles exceptions from pyboard better
(prints them and exits with exit code 1), prints out the pyboard output
while the script is running (instead of waiting till the end), and
allows to follow the output of a previous script when run with no
arguments.
This allows to implement KeyboardInterrupt on unix, and a much safer
ctrl-C in stmhal port. First ctrl-C is a soft one, with hope that VM
will notice it; second ctrl-C is a hard one that kills anything (for
both unix and stmhal).
One needs to check for a pending exception in the VM only for jump
opcodes. Others can't produce an infinite loop (infinite recursion is
caught by stack check).
