This fixes errors like these ones:
modffi.c: In function 'return_ffi_value':
modffi.c:143:29: error: cast to pointer from integer of different size
[-Werror=int-to-pointer-cast]
const char *s = (const char *)val;
^
modffi.c:162:20: error: cast to pointer from integer of different size
[-Werror=int-to-pointer-cast]
return (mp_obj_t)val;
^
modffi.c: In function 'ffifunc_call':
modffi.c:358:25: error: cast from pointer to integer of different size
[-Werror=pointer-to-int-cast]
values[i] = (ffi_arg)a;
^
modffi.c:373:25: error: cast from pointer to integer of different size
[-Werror=pointer-to-int-cast]
values[i] = (ffi_arg)s;
^
modffi.c:381:25: error: cast from pointer to integer of different size
[-Werror=pointer-to-int-cast]
values[i] = (ffi_arg)bufinfo.buf;
^
modffi.c:384:25: error: cast from pointer to integer of different size
[-Werror=pointer-to-int-cast]
values[i] = (ffi_arg)p->func;

These errors can be highlighted when building micropython from MIPS64
n32 because ffi_arg is 64-bit wide and the pointers on MIPS64 n32 are
32-bit wide, so it's trying to case an integer to a pointer (or
vice-versa) of a different size. We should cast first the pointer (or the
integer) to a pointer sized integer (intptr_t) to fix that problem.

Linking against local libffi (and other libs in future) is triggered by
"make MICROPY_STANDALONE=1". Before that, dependent libs should be built
with "make deplibs".
Indeed, this flag efectively selects architecture target, and must
consistently apply to all compiles and links, including 3rd-party
libraries, unlike CFLAGS, which have MicroPython-specific setting.
inet_pton supports both ipv4 and ipv6 addresses. Interface is also extensible
for other address families, but underlying libc inet_pton() function isn't
really extensible (e.g., it doesn't return length of binary address, i.e. it's
really hardcoded to AF_INET and AF_INET6). But anyway, on Python side, we could
extend it to support other addresses.
sendto() turns out to be mandatory function to work with UDP. It may seem
that connect(addr) + send() would achieve the same effect, but what connect()
appears to do is to set source address filter on a socket to its argument.
Then everything falls apart: socket sends to a broad-/multi-cast address,
but reply is sent from real peer address, which doesn't match filter set
by connect(), so local socket never sees a reply.
This requires root access. And on recent Linux kernels, with
CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM option enabled, only address ranges listed in
/proc/iomem can be accessed. The above compiled-time option can be
however overriden with boot-time option "iomem=relaxed".
This also removed separate read/write paths - there unlikely would
be a case when they're different.
Previous to this patch a call such as list.append(1, 2) would lead to a
seg fault. This is because list.append is a builtin method and the first
argument to such methods is always assumed to have the correct type.
Now, when a builtin method is extracted like this it is wrapped in a
checker object which checks the the type of the first argument before
calling the builtin function.
This feature is contrelled by MICROPY_BUILTIN_METHOD_CHECK_SELF_ARG and
is enabled by default.
See issue #1216.
MicroPython doesn't come with standard library included, so it is important
to be able to easily install needed package in a seamless manner. Bundling
package manager (upip) inside an executable solves this issue.
upip is bundled only with standard executable, not "minimal" or "fast"
builds.
