The Cortex-M target isn't much changed, but much of the logic for the
AVR stack switcher that was previously in assembly has now been moved to
Go to make it more maintainable and in fact smaller in code size. Three
functions (tinygo_getCurrentStackPointer, tinygo_switchToTask,
tinygo_switchToScheduler) have been changed to one: tinygo_swapTask.
This reduction in assembly code should make the code more maintainable
and should make it easier to port stack switching to other
architectures.
I've also moved the assembly files to src/internal/task, which seems
like a more appropriate location to me.
This is a big change that will determine the stack size for many
goroutines automatically. Functions that aren't recursive and don't call
function pointers can in many cases have an automatically determined
worst case stack size. This is useful, as the stack size is usually much
lower than the previous hardcoded default of 1024 bytes: somewhere
around 200-500 bytes is common.
A side effect of this change is that the default stack sizes (including
the stack size for other architectures such as AVR) can now be changed
in the config JSON file, making it tunable per application.
This adds support for the `-scheduler=tasks` flag for AVR. On most AVR
chips you wouldn't want to run a real scheduler but it may be useful in
some cases, especially on devices with more RAM. It is disabled by
default.
