check.
Commented out a number of instances of invalidate_prefetch_q(),
for branches which do not change CS since the EIP window mechanism
takes care of validating that EIP lands in the current page or not
in the main cpu loop anyways.
Fixed a couple cases (v8086 mode and real mode) of loading CS where
the EIP page window was not invalidated in segment_ctrl_pro.cc.
That may fix some aliasing problems reported before (OS2).
- it works only on x86 with gcc2.95+
- uses the GCC function atribute "regparm(n)" to declare that certain
functions use the register calling convention
- performance improvement is about 6%
"bx_bool" which is always defined as Bit32u on all platforms. In Carbon
specific code, Boolean is still used because the Carbon header files
define it to unsigned char.
- this fixes bug [ 623152 ] MacOSX: Triple Exception Booting win95.
The bug was that some code in Bochs depends on Boolean to be a
32 bit value. (This should be fixed, but I don't know all the places
where it needs to be fixed yet.) Because Carbon defined Boolean as
an unsigned char, Bochs just followed along and used the unsigned char
definition to avoid compile problems. This exposed the dependency
on 32 bit Boolean on MacOS X only and led to major simulation problems,
that could only be reproduced and debugged on that platform.
- On the mailing list we debated whether to make all Booleans into "bool" or
our own type. I chose bx_bool for several reasons.
1. Unlike C++'s bool, we can guarantee that bx_bool is the same size on all
platforms, which makes it much less likely to have more platform-specific
simulation differences in the future. (I spent hours on a borrowed
MacOSX machine chasing bug 618388 before discovering that different sized
Booleans were the problem, and I don't want to repeat that.)
2. We still have at least one dependency on 32 bit Booleans which must be
fixed some time, but I don't want to risk introducing new bugs into the
simulation just before the 2.0 release.

loadSRegLMNominal() which should be used to load a segment register
in long-mode with nominal values which are compatible with existing
checks and expectations for descriptor cache values.
Fixed 64-bit iret to not do a descriptor fetch if SS selector is null.
Also load SS with loadSRegLMNorminal() in the same case.
these from interfering from a normal compile here's what I did.
In config.h.in (which will generate config.h after a configure),
I added a #define called KPL64Hacks:
#define KPL64Hacks
*After* running configure, you must set this by hand. It will
default to off, so you won't get my hacks in a normal compile.
This will go away soon. There is also a macro just after that
called BailBigRSP(). You don't need to enabled that, but you
can. In many of the instructions which seemed like they could
be hit by the fetchdecode64() process, but which also touched
EIP/ESP, I inserted a macro. Usually this macro expands to nothing.
If you like, you can enabled it, and it will panic if it finds
the upper bits of RIP/RSP set. This helped me find bugs.
Also, I cleaned up the emulation in ctrl_xfer{8,16,32}.cc.
There were some really old legacy code snippets which directly
accessed operands on the stack with access_linear. Lots of
ugly code instead of just pop_32() etc. Cleaning those up,
minimized the number of instructions which directly manipulate
the stack pointer, which should help in refining 64-bit support.
but if you hand edit cpu/cpu.h, and change BxICacheEntries,
you can try different sizes. I'll make this more flexible
with configure. For now, use "--enable-icache" with no parameters.
- Modified fetchdecode.cc/fetchdecode64.cc just enough so that
instructions which encode a direct address now use a memory
resolution function which just sticks the immediate address
into rm_addr. With cached instructions we need this.

tries to fix it. The shortcuts to register names such as AX and DL are
#defines in cpu/cpu.h, and they are defined in terms of BX_CPU_THIS_PTR.
When BX_USE_CPU_SMF=1, this works fine. (This is what bochs used for
a long time, and nobody used the SMF=0 mode at all.) To make SMP bochs
work, I had to get SMF=0 mode working for the CPU so that there could
be an array of cpus.
When SMF=0 for the CPU, BX_CPU_THIS_PTR is defined to be "this->" which
only works within methods of BX_CPU_C. Code outside of BX_CPU_C must
reference BX_CPU(num) instead.
- to try to enforce the correct use of AL/AX/DL/etc. shortcuts, they are
now only #defined when "NEED_CPU_REG_SHORTCUTS" is #defined. This is
only done in the cpu/*.cc code.
To see the commit logs for this use either cvsweb or
cvs update -r BRANCH-io-cleanup and then 'cvs log' the various files.
In general this provides a generic interface for logging.
logfunctions:: is a class that is inherited by some classes, and also
. allocated as a standalone global called 'genlog'. All logging uses
. one of the ::info(), ::error(), ::ldebug(), ::panic() methods of this
. class through 'BX_INFO(), BX_ERROR(), BX_DEBUG(), BX_PANIC()' macros
. respectively.
.
. An example usage:
. BX_INFO(("Hello, World!\n"));
iofunctions:: is a class that is allocated once by default, and assigned
as the iofunction of each logfunctions instance. It is this class that
maintains the file descriptor and other output related code, at this
point using vfprintf(). At some future point, someone may choose to
write a gui 'console' for bochs to which messages would be redirected
simply by assigning a different iofunction class to the various logfunctions
objects.
More cleanup is coming, but this works for now. If you want to see alot
of debugging output, in main.cc, change onoff[LOGLEV_DEBUG]=0 to =1.
