- 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.
- Fixed loading of all plugins with one type using wildcard.
- Reduced maximum length of line when listing available modules for hdimage,
network and sound.
hardcoded one. In plugins mode now all plugins with PLUGTYPE_GUI can be used.
Added similar code for the case plugins are disabled. The macros
PLUG_get_plugins_count() and PLUG_get_plugin_name() can be used in both cases.
- 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).
- Changing VGA extension to "voodoo" did not work in the config interface.
Moved plugin loading to the string parameter handler and added plugin
unloading case.
- Unloading "voodoo" VGA plugin resets pluginVgaDevice to stubVga.
- pluginUnregisterDeviceDevmodel() now supports core plugins.
- Some other small plugin related changes.
- Improved macro definitions for plugin entry points.
- Forward declarations of plugin entry points are only required when plugin
support is off.
- Improved panic message for the case when plugin entry point is not found.
loaded in bochsrc with "plugin_ctrl" or with their own name, the user plugin
option and the special cases for PLUGTYPE_USER are no longer needed. Updated
example patch to make it work with the latest SVN code.
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).
- Now that we know about all available plugins at startup, the bx_list_c object
"plugin_ctrl" contains a fixed number of bx_param_bool_c objects representing
the requested status (1 = load). It is verified at simulation startup.
- The config interface creates two text lists (textconfig) or list boxes (win32,
wx) from it to show the remaining available and the loaded plugins. Loading
and unloading is performed immediately and plugins may install / uninstall
options in other menus / dialogs.
- Modified the "non-plugin" code to make the optional plugin control work very
similar in this mode.
- bx_load_plugin() now returns the status of the operation.
- Plugin load failures are now correctly handled by the plugin code (unloading
if necessary, then panic).
- 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.
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.
The latest release is from 2001 and it will not work on modern Linux systems.
Parts of the SVGALib code have been moved to the Linux kernel and the X11 and
SDL libraries are using it as a video driver.
- Treat VGA extension name other than "none", "vbe" or "cirrus" as a VGA
compatible device plugin and try to load it.
- Added new plugin type PLUGTYPE_VGA for such a plugins (interally handled like
a core plugin).
- Added panic in devices init for the case no VGA compatible plugin is present.
- Added new method vga_redraw_area() that handles the non-VGA and null size
case. The specific method redraw_area() is called otherwise.
- Moved init_systemtimer() call from extension code to init_standard_vga().
- TODO: Implement VGA subsystem in the Voodoo code to test the new feature.
Voodoo Banshee 2D accelerator code needs to be written to make this really
useful.
- Removed "pseudo device plugin" containing common code and all connectable
USB devices.
- Moved USB device base class and module handling to the Bochs core.
Now loading USB device plugins in usb_common.cc.
- Created separate plugins for each USB device implementation.
- Modified Bochs plugin system to support new plugin type PLUGTYPE_USBDEV.
- Added entries for the non-plugin case similar to the network and sound stuff.
- In "non-plugin" mode loading and unloading network module is not necessary.
Now enabled loading for the plugin mode only and removed unloading function
for that case. The "pseudo plugin" entries of the dummy entry points are
necessary to make sure the self-registering network driver objects are not
optimized out.
- slirp / vnet: Since the plugin init function is not called in non-plugin
mode, revert the instance count init change.
- Fixed a makefile dependecy.
- TODO: Implement self-registering objects in the sound driver code.
- Removed "pseudo device plugin" containing common code and specific drivers.
- Moved network module base classes and module handling to the Bochs core.
Now loading network driver plugins in netmod.cc.
- Moved shared networking code used by the 'vnet' driver and 'bxhub' from
netmod.cc/.h to new files netutil.cc/.h.
- Created separate plugins for each network driver implementation.
- Modified Bochs plugin system to support new plugin type PLUGTYPE_NETWORK.
- Builtin sound driver plugin support should depend on BX_SUPPORT_SOUNDLOW.
- Added some symbols required for the MSVC plugin of sound driver "file".
- Clean up threads and audio buffers only when shutting down the primary sound
driver (pcm_callback_id >= 0). Fixes crash on exit with wavemode 3.
- Renamed OSS sound driver files from soundlnx.cc/.h to soundoss.cc/.h.
- Removed "pseudo device plugin" containing common code and specific drivers.
- Moved common sound code, base classes of sound drivers and the dummy driver
to the Bochs core. Now loading sound driver plugins in soundmod.cc.
- Created separate plugins for the platform/library specific drivers and the
"file" driver.
- Modified Bochs plugin system to support now plugin type PLUGTYPE_SOUND.
- Changed the name of the entry point of the gui plugin code to
lib{gui_name}_gui_plugin_init(). It is used when loading plugin with the new
type. Added gui init code for the non-plugin version in plugin.cc.
- Some related changes for the "wx" case.
- The function load_and_init_display_lib() now only returns 1 on success.
- Minor other changes.
- Removed unused functions and declarations.
- Removed unused command line argument handling.
- TODO: Modify the "plugin_init" and PLUGTYPE_* definitions.
almost implemented, the port owner handling and the UHCI companion controllers
are present. High speed devices are not yet supported, since the EHCI scheduler
code has not been written yet (e.g. porting from Qemu). Low and full speed
devices should be detected correctly and work after port ownership change to
UHCI. 6 ports are available and the bochsrc syntax is similar to other HCs.
- fixed pluginlog init in non-plugin mode
- reduced logprefix length limit and use it for the related string parameter
- increase the device prefix size to 6
- TODO: change some more device prefixes
- in wx we had two logfunctions for the siminterface (removed duplicate init)
- renamed siminterface prefix to "SIM"
- moved variable "pluginlog" to the plugin interface
- fixed / removed some forward declarations
is based on a patch originally designed for DOSBox. Currently only the Voodoo1
adapter model can be emulation. The emulation is currently slow, but we intend
to clean up and optimize the code. Running the 3D engine in a separate thread
is also planned. To compile with Voodoo support the configure option
"--enable-voodoo" must be used. Then the device can be activated with
"plugin_ctrl: voodoo=1" in bochsrc or on the command line. The device will be
assigned automatically to a PCI slot unless you do that manually. A specific bochsrc
option to select the adapter model will be added when the code has support for it.
