There's a lot here, so let's through it:
- Lots of work to include a symbol table in the kernel. We can't rely on
our bootloader to give us our own ELF information, so we do this
separately. This probably should be changed to output a C source
rather than assembly, but that's a TODO.
- Makefile can now generate modules. It works basically the same way any
other kernel object works, expect with a slightly different linking
scheme.
- Commands have been added to the debug shell to load modules, but they
don't work yet - still need to get through relocation and linking.
- Commands have been added to the debug shell to print the symbol list,
as well as print symbol values (but note that printing symbol values
is kinda dangerous if you don't know what they are, so don't just go
printing things willy-nilly).
I am going to replace it after I finish making the ANSI escape parser
modular again (it became a bit less modular during the development of
this terminal).
These changes are part of an effort to make the terminal more efficient.
Another goal is to make the terminal use the "new-style" compositor
interface, which is still in development.
Major speed improvement, though it might make things like "Scale
windows" look a bit less polished; windows that are scaled up in scale
mode are rendered with bilinear scaling. Will probably replace with the
FAST/GOOD macros later.
Also, add the framework for Alt+Tab window picking (not implemented yet)
Also fix the mouse to account for this... development.
Smoother mouse movement all around, though it may make things slightlys
lower by spamming lots of mouse packets. Just write good clients and
everything will be fine...
