- The selected / detected disk image mode is now stored as a string constant to
simplify code (same as Bochs core).
- Changed command line option to select operation mode to "-func=X" to avoid
confusion with disk image mode.
- Documentation updates.
implementing disk image support with an external C++ class. With the new code
it's now easier to implement support for additional disk images formats, so we
don't need the old stub anymore.
string constants instead of hardcoded values. Available modes are detected at
Bochs startup and stored in a string array before initializing options. In the
plugins case additional modes are read from the plugins list. If plugins are
off, the hdimage_locator_c registry is used. Related changes in all parts of
Bochs that need the hdimage stuff.
TODO #1: Network and sound drivers could be handled in a similar way.
TODO #2: Make disk image mode detection work again in plugins mode.
- Renamed vpc-img.* files to vpc.* and removed hack for image mode name conversion.
- Added suffix "_img" to all disk image mode plugin base names. This is important
for the future implementation of a plugin enumeration at Bochs startup.
In convert/resize mode a backup can be created if the new file name
is not specified or the same as the source file name. In commit mode
both base image and redolog file are affected by the backup switch.
Added Linux specific file copy code using '/bin/cp'.
- added support to use 'concat' and 'dll' mode images as convert source.
A prefix ("concat:" or "dll:") must be added to the path since autodetection
doesn't work for these modes.
- create: fixed virtual disk size calculation based on C/H/S
- convert / resize (interactive mode): use original filename as the template for
the new one if not specified on the command line
