It has been compiled and tested on Linux, with MinGW/MSYS and MSVC nmake.
TODO: Check whether or not the config interface choice "win32config" can be
a plugin, too. Possibly add a new plugin type for config interfaces.
interface to textconfig if the selected gui has a builtin console in
SIM->set_init_done(). This is required on Windows for the rfb and vncsrv guis.
Cleaned up the textconfig code.
plugin is possible now. Added new functions text_print() and text_ask() in
textconfig.cc to replace related methods of bx_param_c classes. Removed a now
obsolete comment section in siminterface.h.
- Don't include paramtree.h in siminterface.h to get rid of duplicates
in a lot of Makefile dependency lines.
- Regenerated Makefile dependencies in iodev and affected subdirectories.
- FIXME #1: including debug.h causes duplicate entries of config.h and osdep.h.
- FIXME #2: cpudb.h appears in most of the iodev* dependencies, but only needed
by config.cc and the cpu class.
- Moved serial and parallel config parameter list creation to the corresponding
device code.
- Unregister serial and parallel bochsrc options in PLUGIN_FINI mode.
- Moved USB config and runtime parameter list creation to bx_init_usb_options().
- textconfig.cc: Small fixes in the optional plugin control.
- 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.
- Disable port "options" parameter after successful connect. While connected,
a device may install runtime options to control it's behaviour.
- Added enable handlers for the "options" parameter to ensure an attempt to
change the device while connected doesn't enable it.
- Some related code cleanups.
- Changed some bx_param_c member types and related code to bool.
- Added bx_param_string_c method get_enable_handler() for the use in gui dialog
dependency processing.
- Call the enable_handler (if present) when processing dependent list in the wx
and win32 ParamDialog code.
device handling. Added some code to handle plugins that provide more than one
device type (usb_hid, usb_msd) or with different name (usb_cbi). The device
type member is now only used by multi-function devices.
- USB hub: disable device "options" parameter if device is set to "none".
- USB hub: handle device disconnect in runtime_config().
- Removed handling of USB device type in host controllers and external hub.
- Fixed USB devices list by adding a terminating NULL entry.
- Disable USB device options parameter if device is set to "none".
- Related documentation updates.
- Moved main option from the portX parameter to the optionsX parameter. Added
new option "path" for the disk, cdrom and floppy devices, "ports" for the
USB hub and "file" for the USB printer. The legacy syntax is still supported.
- Register USB device state after init() to ensure all options that may have
effect on the save/restore list are applied.
- Report available devices on top of log file similar to hdimage, network and
sound modules.
- Changed USB device type variable typein host controllers to int.
- Prepared improved usbdev_ctl init / exit implementation.
- TODO: Create list of USB devices dynamicly from available plugins.
- Fixed loading of all plugins with one type using wildcard.
- Reduced maximum length of line when listing available modules for hdimage,
network and sound.
