Currently, MicroPython strings are mix between CPython byte and unicode
strings. So, conversion is null so far. This dummy implementation is
intended for compatibility with CPython (so, same code can run on both).
These are micropython.mem_total(), .mem_current(), .mem_peak(). These are 3
individual functions with simple scalar return value to make sure that
calls to these functions themselves have minimal (hopefully zero) impact on
memory allocation.
Change state layout in VM so the stack starts at state[0] and grows
upwards. Locals are at the top end of the state and number downwards.
This cleans up a lot of the interface connecting the VM to C: now all
functions that take an array of Micro Python objects are in order (ie no
longer in reverse).
Also clean up C API with keyword arguments (call_n and call_n_kw
replaced with single call method that takes keyword arguments). And now
make_new takes keyword arguments.
emitnative.c has not yet been changed to comply with the new order of
stack layout.
Implicit "micropython" module contains (at least) codegeneration decorators.
Make it explicit, so an app could have "import micropython". On MicroPython,
that will be no-op. On CPython, that will give a chance to have a module
with placeholder decorators.
