MacOS X (Apple Silicon)

MicroPython version

MicroPython v1.23.0 on 2024-05-31; darwin [GCC 4.2.1] version

Reproduction

Try running the following code on a macOS device running Apple Silicon using a version of Micropython built for Apple Silicon:

@micropython.native
def test_fun():
    print("Hello, World!")

Expected behaviour

I understand that native code execution is not supported on Apple Silicon, but I would expect to still be able to generally execute code even if marked up with native decorators (in order words, I would expect them to be ignored in that case).

Observed behaviour

When trying to test this code locally on my MacBook Pro M2, all functions with the decorator @micropython.native end up generating the following exception:

>>> %Run -c $EDITOR_CONTENT
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
SyntaxError: invalid micropython decorator
>>> 

Additional Information

I understand that the @micropython.viper decorator has different behavior and might not be a good candidate for being ignored, so we may want different behavior there. Perhaps an opt-in for allowing it to be ignored? Something like this:

@micropython.viper(optional=true)
def test_fun():
    print("Hello, World!")

This would force anyone wanting to test code like this to attest that the behavior would be the same.

Yes, I agree
