- Fixed loading of all plugins with one type using wildcard.
- Reduced maximum length of line when listing available modules for hdimage,
network and sound.
- 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).
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).
- In plugin mode make sure all hdimage plugins are loaded for mode detection.
- Implemented image mode detection via hdimage_locator_c.
- TODO: use the new code for bximage, too.
- Added support for loading all plugins of one type using wildcard "*".
- Unloading no longer removes the plugin object. Now the member "loaded" is
set to 0 and the type of a device plugin is reset.
- Added plugin_cleanup() function to remove plugin objects on Bochs exit.
- Some other related cleanups in the plugins code.
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.
- Added suffix "_gui" to the base name of display library plugins.
- Added new function plugins_search() that browses the plugin folder(s) and
detects the type from the library name. Plugins with no prefix or suffix are
treated as i/o device plugins. The plugin_load() function uses this database.
- Some related fixes and cleanups.
- 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.
- Common hdimage code, lowlevel cdrom code and the classes for the Bochs "own"
image modes (e.g. flat, sparse, growing") are now a part of the Bochs core.
- All classes for image modes present in separate files are now built as
plugins with the same self register mechanism as network, sound and usb
modules. Defined new plugin type PLUGTYPE_HDIMAGE.
- Temporarily disabled the base image format detection of the undoable/volatile
modes for the "external" modes in the plugins case.
- TODO: Bochs should know about all of the available plugins and their
capabilities right after startup, but before the configuration stage.
to 11. Accessing 'extension' data using 'name' index is illegal and at least
gcc version 7.5.0 has produced incorrect code for creating short file name.
- Implemented sector size handling in the ATA disk emulation. This feature
still needs BIOS support to boot from a disk with big sectors.
- Enabled sector size support in the redolog_t class based disk image mode.
The base class can handle 512 byte blocks only, but that doesn't matter since
all valid sector sizes are multiple of it. So for now the growing, undoable
and volatile disk image modes internally read/write 512 bytes per call.
- TODO: BIOS, bximage.
- 'flat' mode: disk image size must be multiple of sector size.
- 'concat' mode: each disk image size and lseek() offset must be multiple of
sector size.
- 'sparse' mode: page size and lseek() offset must be multiple of sector size.
- TODO: 'growing', 'undoable' and 'volatile' mode: redolog_t class is still
based on 512-byte blocks.
- TODO: 'vbox', 'vmware3', 'vmware4', 'vpc' and 'vvfat' mode have a builtin
geometry. If other sector sizes are supported, it should be handled correctly.
- harddrv code now reports current sector size, but still panics for now.
- TODO: harrdrv and USB disk code, bximage, BIOS.
- Create a file with image name plus extension ".lock" if an image is opened
in read/write mode. This file will be deleted after closing the image.
- Check for a lock file before opening an image and fail if it exists.
- Check for a lock file before creating a undoable/volatile redolog file and
fail if it exists.
"fatal". It can be used for all cases when there is no workaroud present to
avoid application crash or incorrect simulation behaviour. As a first step now
using BX_FATAL() for some data structure size and bit field errors.
- added Android case to the configure script.
- renamed file memory.h to memory-bochs.h to fix conflict with NDK.
- fixed Android issues in some files.
sector transfers (buffer pointer update was missing). Multiple sectors transfers
could for the USB disk emulation and for image conversion with bximage.
