This error message did not consume all of its variable args, a bug
introduced long ago in baf6f14deb. By fixing
it to use %s (instead of keeping the string as-is and deleting the last
arg) the same error message string is now reused three times in this format
function and gives a code size reduction of around 130 bytes. It also now
gives a better error message when a non-string is passed in as an argument
to format, eg '{:d}'.format([]).
The machine module should be standard across all ports so should have the
same set of classes in the docs. A special warning is added to the top of
the machine.SD class because it is not standardised and only available on
the cc3200 port.
It's fair to just provide a link to all available modules, regardless of
the port. Most of the existing ports (unix, stm32, esp8266, esp32) share
most of the same set of modules anyway, so no need to maintain separate
lists for them. And there's a big discussion at the start of this index
about modules not being available on a given port.
For port-specific modules, they can also be listed unconditionally because
they have headings that explicitly state they are only available on certain
ports.
Works with pins declared normally in mpconfigboard.h, eg. (pin_XX), as well
as (pyb_pin_XX).
Provides new mp_hal_pin_config_alt_static(pin_obj, mode, pull, fn_type)
function declared in pin_static_af.h to allow configuring pin alternate
functions by name at compile time.
This mechanism will scale to to an arbitrary number of pollable objects, so
long as they implement the MP_STREAM_GET_FILENO ioctl. Since ussl objects
pass through ioctl requests transparently to the underlying socket object,
it will allow ussl sockets to be polled. And a user object with uio.IOBase
as a base could support polling.
The underlying socket can handling polling, and any other transparent ioctl
requests. Note that CPython handles the case of polling an ssl object by
polling the file descriptor of the underlying socket file, and that
behaviour is emulated here.
Otherwise they may be called on a socket that no longer exists.
For example, if the GC calls the finaliser on the socket and then reuses
its heap memory, the "callback" entry of the old socket may contain invalid
data. If lwIP then calls the TCP callback the code may try to call the
user callback object which is now invalid. The lwIP callbacks must be
deregistered during the closing of the socket, before all the pcb pointers
are set to NULL.
