The first argument to the type.make_new method is naturally a uPy type,
and all uses of this argument cast it directly to a pointer to a type
structure. So it makes sense to just have it a pointer to a type from
the very beginning (and a const pointer at that). This patch makes
such a change, and removes all unnecessary casting to/from mp_obj_t.
This patch changes the type signature of .make_new and .call object method
slots to use size_t for n_args and n_kw (was mp_uint_t. Makes code more
efficient when mp_uint_t is larger than a machine word. Doesn't affect
ports when size_t and mp_uint_t have the same size.
Everyone loves to names similar things the same, then there're conflicts
between different libraries. The namespace prefix used is "CRYAL_", which
is weird, and that's good, as that minimizes chance of another conflict.
This basically introduces the MICROPY_MACHINE_MEM_GET_READ_ADDR
and MICROPY_MACHINE_MEM_GET_WRITE_ADDR macros. If one of them is
not defined, then a default identity function is provided.
Previously, sizeof() blindly assumed LAYOUT_NATIVE and tried to align
size even for packed LAYOUT_LITTLE_ENDIAN & LAYOUT_BIG_ENDIAN. As sizeof()
is implemented on a strucuture descriptor dictionary (not an structure
object), resolving this required passing layout type around.
This allows the mp_obj_t type to be configured to something other than a
pointer-sized primitive type.
This patch also includes additional changes to allow the code to compile
when sizeof(mp_uint_t) != sizeof(void*), such as using size_t instead of
mp_uint_t, and various casts.
