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.
This directory contains tests for various functionality areas of MicroPython. To run all stable tests, run "run-tests" script in this directory. Note that bytecode tests are not yet stable and should be run separately in "bytecode" subdirectory. When creating new tests, anything that relies on float support should go in the float/ subdirectory. Anything that relies on import x, where x is not a built-in module, should go in the import/ subdirectory.
