- Changed variable type of the plugin_t "type" member from enum to Bit16u.
- Added support for returning device flags with the new mode PLUGIN_FLAGS in
the plugin entry functions. It is currently only used for devices that can
be connected to a PCI slot.
- Code cleanup in core device plugins: checking type no longer necessary.
- The "non-plugin" mode now also uses the "loadtype" member of plugin_t.
TODO: Change PCI slot options to bx_param_enum_c and build the choices list
using the new capabilities of the plugin API.
- Added special mode to all plugin entry functions that returns the plugin type.
- The plugins search function now temporarily loads all available plugins and
reads the plugin type using the new mode PLUGIN_PROBE.
- Added "loadtype" to the plugin structure to store the type used for plugin
loading (currently only the voodoo plugin provides two types).
module code. Sound driver names are now stored as string constants instead
of hardcoded values. Available modules are detected at Bochs startup and stored
in a string array before initializing options. In the plugins case available
modules are read from the plugins list. If plugins are off, the registry of
bx_sound_lowlevel_c is used. Related changes similar to the hdimage and
network modifications.
plugin_entry(). The additional boolean argument "init" is used to select the
requested action. The entry points still have unique names for compatibility
with the "non-plugin" compilation. Added macros for setting up these names
(e.g. PLUGIN_ENTRY_FOR_MODULE for device plugins).
the square wave generator disabled. This feature has been used by old demos and
games to play digitized sound before soundcards with DSP became popular.
- Added the capability to load up to 4 sound drivers and added methods to
get pointers to the waveout, wavein and midiout services of a driver.
- Rewrite of the SB16 midi file output code. In midimode 2 and 3 the midiout
service of the 'file' driver is used. Removed obsolete midi file handling.
- Re-implemented the closemidioutput() method to make runtime changes of the
midi setup work with the new code.
- added 'sound' option to select the driver and the wave output device
(see bochsrc sample for details)
- the wave device option of sb16 and es1370 is now only used to set up the
wave input device (if necessary)
- cleaned up the speaker code to initialize the 'sound' case correctly
- unknown module names now cause a panic
- added log function names to some more devices
- TODO: find a way to configure log actions by device in the config interface
start menu (most of the devices do not exist at this point)
(TODO: find a way to call plugin_fini() for non-core devices if plugins are
disabled)
- set the device pointers back to stubs after unloading plugins
- added debug message "Exit" in all device plugin destructors
bochs.h already not include iodev.h which reduces compilation dependences for almost all cpu and fpu files, now cpu files will not be recompiled if iodev includes was changed
