The slirplog object must exist before calling slirp_new().
Function slirplog_error() can handle arguments now.
Most of the fprintf() calls replaced by slirplog_error().
Added IPv6 host forwarding feature (not yet used by Bochs).
Added stubs for slirp_connection_info() and slirp_neighbor_info().
Fixed some warnings.
All DEBUG_* messages now ported from libslirp and connected to the Bochs
logfunctions method ldebug().
Function slirp_warning() renamed to slirplog_error() (TODO: it should also be
able to handle arguments and replace the fprintf(stderr, ...) stuff).
Started implementing slirp debug message support. For now DEBUG_CALL messages
can be sent to log file by setting new option 'debug_switches' to 1.
Moved function slirp_warning() to slirp.cc (TODO: change fprintf() to slirp_warning()).
Updated some tcp_emu() stuff from libslirp (not yet used by Bochs).
Update of existing files based on libslirp 4.7.0 code. It compiles and works
on Linux (gcc 10.4) and Windows (mingw/msys with gcc 14 and VS2019).
Functionality tested on both platforms with Linux guest OS (Firefox shows website).
Next step will be the start of the IPv6 integration.
- Updated function arp_input() and related code.
- Updated get_dns_addr() functions for 3 different platforms (Apple code untested).
- Started updating IPv6 header file for C++ compatibilty (to be continued).
- Some other small updates.
- Get rid of slirp_config.h.
- Added ip6_icmp.h (not yet used).
- Updates in some other headers.
- Added c++ static_assert for structure size checking at compile time.
- Updated Makefile dependencies and VS2019 project files.
- Cleaned up system includes in slirp.h and removed most of the HAVE_* defines.
- Renamed exec_list to guestfwd_list and removed ex_pty member.
- Using type "char *" instead of "caddr_t".
- VS2019 needs C++20 standard to be set.
- Some Cygwin related additions in util.cc.
- slirp_ssize_t definition and usage fixed.
- changed include position of compat.h in slirp.h.
- Modified info / error log message handling.
- Renamed insque / remque functions using "slirp_" prefix.
- Removed useless SVN ID from most file headers and add license specifier instead.
- configure script now supports wxGTK 3.1 (using GTK 3.0).
- added workaround for GDK keysym name change.
- define deprecated WXWIN symbol wxADJUST_MINSIZE for compatibility.
- compilation fix for Linux in the slirp code.
- Enabled Winsock2 usage and define _WIN32 symbol for Cygwin (both 32 and 64 bit).
- Changed include order in some files to resolve conflicts.
- Modified some data types to fix errors and warnings.
- Added workarounds for the incorrectly defined symbols FIONBIO, FIONREAD and
EWOULDBLOCK.
- Verified slirp usability with Cygwin 32-bit, MinGW/MSYS and MSVC builds of
Bochs. Other ports should not be affected.
- socket: Define the FIONBIO workaround for 64-bit Cygwin only.
- slirp: Don't mix usage of WIN32 and _WIN32 definitions.
- TODO: The slirp module still fails at UDP socket creation when Bochs is
compiled in Cygwin64.
- added support for a separate slirp config file specified with the "script"
parameter. Added sample config in the "misc" subdirectory.
- now creating one logfunctions object per slirp instance and added new function
slirp_warning() to send error messages to the Bochs log.
- regenerated dependencies for the iodev/network Makefile and updated command
line example for generating them.
- added container_of() macro replacement
- fixed unresolved symbol in netmod.cc
- added MSVC-style structure packing pragmas
- check for the presence of min / max macros
- enabled slirp_new for MSVC in configure script
TODO list:
- check for more updates from Qemu
- fix lots of compiler warnings
- reduce code duplication with 'vnet' module (DHCP, TFTP, ARP)
- add separate config file for slirp to make it more flexible (using the
'script' parameter)
- update MSVC workspace files
- add SMB support on Linux
- remove slirp backend module after next Bochs release
is almost a port of the Qemu 1.1.2 implementation. It has been tested successfully
on Linux and Windows (MinGW/MSYS). The networking module is currently called
"slirp_new", since the "slirp" backend module still exists.
TODO list:
- MSVC support (requires container_of() macro replacement)
- apply fixes and improvements from recent Qemu releases
- use our TFTP implementation to reduce code duplication
- check if we can share ARP and DHCP support with "vnet"
- add SMB support on Linux
- finally remove the slirp backend module support
