Resume bytearray for desktop platform #97

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago

Issue #96 disabled bytearrays for all builds, including desktop because the 
bytearray class consumed too much RAM and caused multiple system tests to fail.

This feature should be enabled after a coming change that moves Code Objects 
(Cos) from RAM to program memory.

Don't forget to enabled system test t289!

The existing implementation of bytearrays uses the awkward method of putting an 
entry in the attrs dict under the None key to hold a reference to the bytearray 
C structure.  This method is prone to error in certain circumstances.  I'd 
prefer to have type/class unification (or a more solid way to refer to C 
structs) in place before re-enabling bytearrays.
