Related configure options (--enable-pae, --enable-mtrr, --enable-global-pages, --enable-large-pages) are deprecated.
Less configure options - less configure problems :)
* ported the basic functionality of the wx ParamDialog to win32
* moved AskFilename() function to the new file
* win32ParamDialog() now used for the external USB hub (if present)
* TODO: with some extensions it might be possible to use it for all runtime
dialogs and to implement a gui replacement for the textconfig start menu
* ported generic hub code from Qemu
* devices can be connected at runtime only with textconfig
* FIXME: wx ParamDialog doesn't like removing runtime parameters on disconnect

- renamed specific pciusb stuff to 'usb_uhci' (files, objects)
- minor USB-related changes
- TODO: changes in siminterface and bochsrc options
- Added configure option to compile in GUI frontend for Bochs internal
debugger, to enable configure with --enable-debugger-gui option. The GUI
debugger frontend is enabled by default with Bochs internal debugger.
If needed to compile without GUI debugger (in case of compilation issues) use --disable-debugger-gui
Make save/restore default feature, the configure option for save/restore removed from configure script and save/restore made available forever. All code now assume it is exists. Bochs save/restore tree previosly called "save_restore" renamed to "bochs" tree and it will be havily used everywhere, starting from save/restore and ending by various bochs debugger functions. I am going to rework debugger code to get rid of debug CPU access functions and use this "bochs" param tree instead
build script
- added --enable-new-pit to the deprecated section of the configure script
- show DEPRECATED messages in configure script in uppercase letters (most of
them should be removed before the next major release)
* removed old-style mouse stuff
* TODO: implement USB tablet from Qemu and re-implement Bochs USB keypad
- clear out USB hub structures in constructor to avoid segfault
- keyboard: mouse capture flag must affect all mouse types
* partial rewrite of the USB device emulation code (TODO: mouse and keypad)
* configure.in and iodev makefile updates
* removed old-style data structure for the USB harddisk
* TODO: save/restore support for removable devices
- PCI USB destructor now resets all runtime parameter handlers
- set log prefix for the SCSI device
- fixed a warning in the SCSI emulation code
Enable disasm by default - in adds some useful information to debug messages in log file
Remove defines for 8bit registers from cpu.h, the x86 arch defines not match defines used by set_reg and get_reg methods.
The Bochs anyway even doesn't compile if cosimulation configured enabled.
But in the same time the cosimulation code only disturbs to the future development of Bochs debugger, for example adding x86-64 functionality ...
For those of you who still may want to see the cosimulation code inside I put it in patch and upload it Bochs CVS patches folder. Read comments for the patch ! ----------------------------------------------------------------------
Change BxSupportPAE and BxSupportGlobalPages macros to Bochs style names
Set bx_cpu_id in BX_CPU_C constructor (safe way)
Backup cpu-level check for paging features at compile time (already checked in configure)
Some warnings and indent fixes
speed up get_segment_base method for x86-64 case
present and a quickstart option exists, too
- improved check for GTK 2.x (only needed if basename of wx is 'wx_gtk2')
- moved/added some deprecated configure options to the end of the script. These
checks should force users and distrubutors to update their config options.
* added hack to detect GTK 2 and set include path
* don't use obsolete wxNotebookSizer
* TODO: wxGTK version is still buggy (wrong dialogs when pressing toolbar buttons)
- updated version number and strings
* SSE/SSE2 need CPU level 6
* external debuggger supported on win32 only
* docbook2html needed for building Docbook documentation
- missing result value for 3DNow! support added
- OSX sound support is used for MacOS 9, too
- changes to the original svga_cirrus patch:
* PCI memory/mmio PnP support, some emulation and compile fixes
* ported write mode 4 + 5 and some bufixes from cirrus vga in qemu
* new graphics API, hardware cursor support, configure option added (Robin Kay)
* partial support for transparent bitblt and bitblt write mask
2. Fixed bug
[ 989478 ] I-Cache and undefined Instruktions
The L4 microkernel uses an undefined instruction to
trap for a special requests into the kernel (LOCK NOP).
The handler fixes this up and gives the user a special
code page with syscall stubs. If you're not using the
I-Cache optimization everthing works find on bochs. But
if you enable the I-Cache (--enable-icache), then the
undefined opcode exception is thrown only once for ever
virtual address it occurs. See the demodisk of the
L4KA::pistachio
(http://www.l4ka.org/projects/pistachio/download.php).
In this case the pingpong benchmark of this demo is of
interest. Everything runs fine until the program tries
to spawn a new task for its measurements. This new task
shares the code of the creating program. But the new
task stops executing at the undefined instruction
explained above and no exception is thrown.
configure script option --enable-magic-breakpoints (enabled by default).
Documented the instruction required to trigger the magic breakpoint
(xchgw %bx,%bx).
- pit: and time0: options are still supported but deprecated
- warn when parsing deprecated directives
- fix wrong number of ata_device_translation_names
- still to do:
- setting time0 to utc is not yet supported
- the man page, user guide and .bochsrc still need to be updated
with the new options
* configure.in: readline check is only necessary if the debugger is enabled
(patch from Jeroen Janssen)
* iodev/Makefile.in: dependencies updated after adding gameport device
* support for different resource compilers added (rc / windres)
* bochs must be linked with advapi.lib for registry access
* optimization flag changed to /Ox
* symbols BX_HAVE_MKSTEMP, BX_HAVE_SYS_MMAN_H and HAVE_ETHERTAP must be set to 0
* BX_HAVE_REALTIME_USEC definition fixed for MSVC
* vmware3.h: definition of COW_Header fixed for MSVC
These changes are based on the SF patch #742670. It did not work with
plugins disabled.
Here is the descriiption of patch #742670:
the library dependencies (see objdump -p file) in the
main bochs binary and the gui plugins are wrong:
- the gui plugins don't depend on their respective gui
libraries
- the main bochs binary depends on all the gui libraries
this doesn't seem much of a problem, since the needed
libraries are loaded anyway, but it's problematic when
building packages for binary distribution of bochs.
in Debian, the package building tools will set package
dependencies according to the library dependencies of
each file, so the result is:
- the main bochs package depends on all libraries. this
includes libwx, libsdl, libncurses and xlibs.
- the indivudual plugin packages don't depend on any
gui library
so when a user wants to run bochs with the curses gui
and installs the bochs-curses package, he/she will be
forced to install Xfree86, WxWindows and GTK+ on
his/her system.
the attached patch fixes the problem by moving the
linker flags related to GUI libraries to the right
makefile (gui/Makefile.in)
You can now choose for each disk on the ata interfaces the
disk mode, between :
- flat : one file flat layout
- concat : multiple files layout
- external : developer's specific, through a C++ class
- dll : developer's specific, through a DLL
- sparse : stackable, commitable, rollbackable
- vmware3 : vmware3 disk support
- undoable : flat file with commitable redolog
- growable : growing file
- volatile : flat file with volatile redolog
- z-undoable : gziped flat file with commitable redolog
- z-volatile : gziped flat file with volatile redolog
A new "bxcommit" utility can merge commitable redologs to
flat images.
- 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%

Comment from the author:
Attached is a "patch" file detailing what you need to do
to add USB support (UHCI only for now) to your existing
Bochs (2.0.xx) source code.
I use Win32 and VC++ but the source and modifications
should be platform and compiler independant.
Please let me know if this patch some how breaks the
build process of your compilation (Bochs 2.0.0 or above
only).
I would also like any feedback on how this code works
(or doesn't work) on your platform and within your
images. If you explain in as much detail as you can on
how it did or did not work, I will try to add to the source
to help it work on all platforms and images.
you have dlcompat installed. Without dlcompat, the configure/build works
fine but the plugins cannot be loaded. This new test prints a meaningful
error message before you waste any time trying to build it and figure
out why the plugins cannot be dlopened.
make install it will build the docbook documentation and install it
into $(prefix)/share/doc/bochs. If it is not specified, then it will
be enabled only if the program "docbook2html" is found in your path.

Modified Files:
Makefile.in configure configure.in doc/docbook/Makefile.in
- now configure script does substitutions in doc/docbook/Makefile.in
- add "make install_docbook" target in main makefile that runs make install
in doc/docbook. It will not be run unless you ask for it.
Modified Files:
configure.in Makefile.in configure doc/docbook/Makefile.in
- move DOC-linux.html into the docbook in a section called "Quick Start for
Linux Users", and removed all references to the DOC-linux file that I could
find. Most of the text has been moved into the Linux RPM section. Parts
that did not fit into the docbook are now in doc/docbook/misc.txt.
- put vga.pcf into INSTALL_LIST_X11 so that it's only installed when
you configure with --with-x11.
- transfer section on VGA font installation from docs-html into user guide
- remove RCS id from screen shots within user guide, since they are changed
to the revision info of user.dbk.

New behaviour is:
. No command line arg (user want to load or create a new conf file)
-> no .bochsrc is loaded
-> defaults to "2. Read options from..."
. command line arg -q (user want to quick start from .bochsrc)
-> .bochsrc is loaded
-> if found Run the simulation
-> if not found defaults to "2. Read options from..."
. command line arg -f (user want to edit a conf file)
-> conf file is loaded
-> if found defaults to "3. Edit options"
-> if not found defaults to "2. Read options from..."
. command line arg -qf (user want to quick start from a conf file)
-> conf file is loaded
-> if found Run the simulation
-> if not found defaults to "2. Read options from..."
. After selection of "2. Read options from..."
-> defaults to "5. Begin simulation"
- fix "enable-control-panel" behaviour in configure.in.
- check if a romimage was supplied in the conf file.
If not, print a hint about a missing/corrupt conf file.
I hope I did not break anything, notably the Carbon gui
These files are part of the wx plugin, and they should not be linked
into a separate plugin. I have changed gui/Makefile.in and configure.in
to correct this.
- This fixes bug [ 628667 ] don't build plugin for wxdialog, wxmain

one for --disable-cdrom, and one for the defalt if it's not specified. The
enabled action and default are supposed to be the same, but they were
slightly different, and Bochs on BeOS was able to compile with --enable-cdrom
but not with the default action. Solution: now the autoconf actions only
sets bx_cdrom=0 or bx_cdrom=1. Then afterward, it tests $bx_cdrom and does
the enable or disable action. This will be easier to maintain because there
is just one copy of each action, instead of two copies that are supposed to
be kept identical to each other.
SSE/SSE2 for Stanislav. Also, some method prototypes and
skeletal functions in access.cc for read/write double quadword
features.
Also cleaned up one warning in protect_ctrl.cc for non-64 bit compiles.
There was an unused variable, only used for 64-bit.

for example debug and release libraries.
- modified: Makefile.in configure.in configure
instead of winmm being a part of GUI_LINK_OPTS_WIN32 only, it is
placed in @DEVICE_LINE_OPTS@ so that it will be used for sdl, rfb, wx,
etc.
- solve compile problems when building bximage, niclist, and any other
console based program. The compile flags returned by wx-config and
sdl-config did strange things to these console programs, for example
redefining main to SDL_main. Because I wanted to use the
configure-generated CFLAGS to compile the programs, but I wanted to
avoid including GUI specific compile options, I split up the configure's
@CFLAGS@ variable into @CFLAGS@ and @GUI_CFLAGS@, and split
@CXXFLAGS@ into @CXXFLAGS@ and @GUI_CXXFLAGS@. All programs in the
Bochs binary will use both, but the console programs will just use
@CFLAGS@ or @CXXFLAGS@.
- gui/Makefile.in, I no longer use the gui specific CFLAGS variables,
SDL_CFLAGS and WX_CXXFLAGS. These values are included in CFLAGS and
CXXFLAGS now.
- modified: configure.in, configure, all Makefile.in's
"-pthread" flag to the link line, but as of wxWindows 2.3.3 their
wx-config script adds it for us. Given the keyboard mapping improvements
in wx 2.3.3, I don't expect to support any previous version.

Subject: [Bochs-developers] Fix for configure.in bug
This patches fixes a bug in configure.in which prevents configure from setting
default values for CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS. Normally, the way autoconf builds
configure, it will set default values for CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS of `-g -O2'.
But, if the user specified them (via the environment), it won't touch them.
The clause in configure.in that tries to set platform-specific flags breaks
this because it always assigns a value (usually blank for most platforms),
which fools the defaulting mechanism later on.
all available optimizations in one shot.
Finished one last case of an instruction which could but didn't use
the Read-Modify-Write variants of access.cc functions.
Started going through the integer instructions, merging obvious cases
where there are two "if (modrm==11b) {" clauses and very little
action in between, and cleaning up the aweful indentation leftover
from many years ago when those instructions were implemented using
cut-and-paste. We may get a little extra performance out of these
mods, but they'll also be easier after I'm finished to enhance
with asm() statements to knock out the lazy flags processing on x86.
just the wxwindows ones. This is required on cygwin, for example, because
the CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS include gcc flags that change code generation:
-fno-pcc-struct-return and -fvtable-thunks. It is not safe to mix code
compiled with these flags with code compiled without. I learned this the
hard way when I found that sometimes code that called a virtual member
function was jumping to the WRONG member function.
wxWindows guis.
- if cross configuring, don't insist on finding curses library.
- on normal configures, when the target platform is win32 (windows, cygwin,
mingw), don't insist on finding pthread either.
(I'm starting to wonder if when cross_configure=1 we shouldn't just skip over
ALL of the library and header checks. When you're going to configure on one
platform and build on another, all that information is useless anyway.)
smarter. If you use --enable-x86-64, it has the following side
effects on other options:
- cpu level defaults to 6 instead of 5
- ignore bad msr defaults to on (Peter T. requested this)
- if cpu level is 6 or greater, these options are enabled by default.
- 4meg pages (PSE)
- physical address extensions (PAE)
- global pages (PGE)
- apic support
configuring for a different machine. This is used to short-circuit
certain sanity checks, such as existence of certain required libraries.
- in --with-wx configuration, when $cross_configure=1, do not abort
configure if library is not found.
- if wxWindows version not found, print "not_found" instead of nothing

I got Win95 running with 32-bit paging/filesystem using the
recommended driver and these patches. Since the patches did
such a good job bracketing code modifications with a #define,
they might as well become part of the current CVS code.
user can turn on/off use of native host specific inline asm
statements. By default, this option is enabled, so you only
need it to disable inline asms in your compile for now.
Currently only on x86+GCC environments, will inline asm()
statements be used. Eventually, other platforms could specify
some asm()s; probably for endian issues such as byte-swapping
and unaligned memory accesses. On x86, there are some inline
asm()s which do the arithmetic EFLAGS processing so that the
lazy flags handling is somewhat bypassed. Eventually, I'll
add more, at least for the more common instructions. This
adds a little extra performance.
- hardcode BX_HAVE_GETTIMEOFDAY=0 if cross compiling for VC++
(this part hasn't been tested)
- modified files: configure configure.in config.h.in iodev/pit_wrap.cc
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.
