All tests in basics/ directory can now run and pass using 64-bit unix
port with only a 16k heap (./run-tests --heapsize 16k). Tests in this
directory should remain small so they can be used for ports with a
small heap.
For these 3 bitwise operations there are now fast functions for
positive-only arguments, and general functions for arbitrary sign
arguments (the fast functions are the existing implementation).
By default the fast functions are not used (to save space) and instead
the general functions are used for all operations.
Enable MICROPY_OPT_MPZ_BITWISE to use the fast functions for positive
arguments.
Eg: '{:{}}'.format(123, '>20')
@pohmelie was the original author of this patch, but @dpgeorge made
significant changes to reduce code size and improve efficiency.
this allows python code to use property(lambda:..., doc=...) idiom.
named versions for the fget, fset and fdel arguments are left out in the
interest of saving space; they are rarely used and easy to enable when
actually needed.
a test case is included.
Note that even though wrapped in MICROPY_CPYTHON_COMPAT, it is not
fully compatible because the modifications to the dictionary do not
propagate to the actual instance members.
When looking up and extracting an attribute of an instance, some
attributes must bind self as the first argument to make a working method
call. Previously to this patch, any attribute that was callable had self
bound as the first argument. But Python specs require the check to be
more restrictive, and only functions, closures and generators should have
self bound as the first argument
Addresses issue #1675.
