The default bahaviour for debug builds is to show dialog boxes for asserts
and invalid parameter handling. This is not so nice in general and causes
the Appveyor debug builds to hang because the io\file_seek.py test passes
a closed file descriptor to lseek. Disable this behaviour by printing
assert messages to the output instead of showing the dialog, and by
disabling 'invalid' parameter handling which causes the affected functions
to just return an error and set errno appropriately.
This builds upon the changes made in 2195046365. Using signal() does not
produce reliable results so SetConsoleCtrlHandler is used, and the handler
is installed only once during initialization instead of removing it in
mp_hal_set_interrupt_char when it is not strictly needed anymore, since
removing it might lead to Ctrl-C events being missed because they are
fired on a seperate thread which might only become alive after the handler
was removed.
Appveyor is like Travis, but for Windows builds. The appveyor.yml configuration
will build the msvc port in all configuration/platform conbinations,
and run the tests for each of those.
This allows multiple versions (e.g. Debug/Release, x86/x64) of micropython.exe
to co-exist instead and also solves potential problems where msbuild does not
completely rebuild the output and/or pdb files when switching between builds,
which in turn can cause linker errors in dependent projects.
By default exe/map/... files go in windows/build/$(Configuration)$(Platform)
After each build micropython.exe is still copied from the above directory to
the windows directory though, as that is consistent with the other ports and
the test runner by default uses that location as well.
Also rename env.props -> path.props which is a clearer name,
and add ample documentation in the affected build files.
(also see discussion in #1538)
- add mp_int_t/mp_uint_t typedefs in mpconfigport.h
- fix integer suffixes/formatting in mpconfig.h and mpz.h
- use MICROPY_NLR_SETJMP=1 in Makefile since the current nlrx64.S
implementation causes segfaults in gc_free()
- update README
The BSD stuff is a copy from the unix makefile but at least there it
makes some sense, a windows makefile on BSD doesn't.
The -lmman flag is probably for mmap functions but there is no other build
support for it on windows so just that flag won't cut it anyway.
- use correct 'mingw-w64' package name
- small grammar fixes
- modify Cygwin build instructions to use that same compiler as well: the
original mingw is stuck at gcc v4.7 and does not seem to be updated anymore
- make it clear thet uPy also builds using Visual Studio versions > 2013
Ubuntu's mingw32 has gcc 4.2.1, which is rather old and has incorrect
non-initialized variable analysis which produces warnings, which
per MicroPython default settings get turned into errors.
py/mphal.h contains declarations for generic mp_hal_XXX functions, such
as stdio and delay/ticks, which ports should provide definitions for. A
port will also provide mphalport.h with further HAL declarations.
Also make sleep.c self-contained by moving initialization code,
instead of having part of the code in init.c, and add a header file
to accomodate this.
msec_sleep() now uses the usleep() implementation as well.
