The retarget code allocates an array of FileHandle* for console and file
handling (filehandles). A tiny target only needs a console (putc/getc).
There is no need for file handling.
The POSIX layer and the array of FileHandle* is not required for small
targets that only need a console ; this code is optionally compiled
out if the configuration parameter platform.stdio-minimal-console-only is
set to `"true"`.
tuples will be useful for things like `mbed::Event` and
`mbed::Callback` - storing parameter packs from variadic templates.
Create a C++14(ish) `<tuple>` for ARMC5, and a `<mstd_tuple>` that
adds `apply` and `make_from_tuple` from C++17.
Add add-standard-as-possible version of C++11 <mutex>.
A lot of the stuff in there is generic, but the actual mutex classes and
call_once need to interface with the OS.
For those, they're not available in ARMC5 or IAR; retargetting would be
necessary for ARMC6 and GCC, and I've yet to investigate how whether
that's possible. So for now I'm using local implementations.
Although `Mutex` in principle could support `timed_mutex` and
`recursive_timed_mutex`, we don't have `chrono` for the time parameters,
so hold off for now.
For the generic stuff like mstd::unique_lock, they are aliased to
std::unique_lock where possible.
Regularise the C++ support glue, adding `<mstd_type_traits>` etc.
These include the base toolchain file, backfill `namespace std` as much
as possible for ARM C 5, and then arrange to create unified
`namespace mstd`, which can incorporate toolchain bypasses
(eg `mstd::swap` for ARM C 5, or `mstd::atomic`), and include local
implementations of post-ARM C++14 stuff.
All APIs in `namespace mstd` are intended to function as their
`namespace std` equivalent, and their presence there indicates they
are functional on all toolchains, and should be safe to use in
an Mbed OS build (including not unreasonable memory footprint).
