Multiplication of a tuple, list, str or bytes now yields an empty
sequence (instead of crashing). Addresses issue #799
Also added ability to mult bytes on LHS by integer.
Can now index ranges with integers and slices, and reverse ranges
(although reversing is not very efficient).
Not sure how useful this stuff is, but gets us closer to having all of
Python's builtins.
reversed function now implemented, and works for tuple, list, str, bytes
and user objects with __len__ and __getitem__.
Renamed mp_builtin_len to mp_obj_len to make it publically available (eg
for reversed).
This happens for example for zero-size arrays. As .get_buffer() method now
has explicit return value, it's enough to distinguish success vs failure
of getting buffer.
This was a nasty bug to track down. It only had consequences when the
heap size was just the right size to expose the rounding error in the
calculation of the finaliser table size. And, a script had to allocate
a small (1 or 2 cell) object at the very end of the heap. And, this
object must not have a finaliser. And, the initial state of the heap
must have been all bits set to 1. All these conspire on the pyboard,
but only if your run the script fresh (so unused memory is all 1's),
and if your script allocates a lot of small objects (eg 2-char strings
that are not interned).
Converts generted pins to use qstrs instead of string pointers.
This patch also adds the following functions:
pyb.Pin.names()
pyb.Pin.af_list()
pyb.Pin.gpio()
dir(pyb.Pin.board) and dir(pyb.Pin.cpu) also produce useful results.
pyb.Pin now takes kw args.
pyb.Pin.__str__ now prints more useful information about the pin
configuration.
I found the following functions in my boot.py to be useful:
```python
def pins():
for pin_name in dir(pyb.Pin.board):
pin = pyb.Pin(pin_name)
print('{:10s} {:s}'.format(pin_name, str(pin)))
def af():
for pin_name in dir(pyb.Pin.board):
pin = pyb.Pin(pin_name)
print('{:10s} {:s}'.format(pin_name, str(pin.af_list())))
```
This patch updates ST's HAL to the latest version, V1.3.0, dated 19 June
2014. Files were copied verbatim from the ST package. Only change was
to suppress compiler warning of unused variables in 4 places.
A lot of the changes from ST are cosmetic: comments and white space.
Some small code changes here and there, and addition of F411 header.
Main code change is how SysTick interrupt is set: it now has a
configuration variable to set the priority, so we no longer need to work
around this (originall in system_stm32f4xx.c).
