This commit adds many new sections to the existing "Developing and building MicroPython" chapter to make it all about the internals of MicroPython. This work was done as part of Google's Season of Docs 2020.

The public C API
|
|
================
|
|
|
|
The public C-API comprises functions defined in all C header files in the ``py/``
|
|
directory. Most of the important core runtime C APIs are exposed in ``runtime.h`` and
|
|
``obj.h``.
|
|
|
|
The following is an example of public API functions from ``obj.h``:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: c
|
|
|
|
mp_obj_t mp_obj_new_list(size_t n, mp_obj_t *items);
|
|
mp_obj_t mp_obj_list_append(mp_obj_t self_in, mp_obj_t arg);
|
|
mp_obj_t mp_obj_list_remove(mp_obj_t self_in, mp_obj_t value);
|
|
void mp_obj_list_get(mp_obj_t self_in, size_t *len, mp_obj_t **items);
|
|
|
|
At its core, any functions and macros in header files make up the public
|
|
API and can be used to access very low-level details of MicroPython. Static
|
|
inline functions in header files are fine too, such functions will be
|
|
inlined in the code when used.
|
|
|
|
Header files in the ``ports`` directory are only exposed to the functionality
|
|
specific to a given port.
