- if BXBIOS is not defined, set it to a default value that is produced
in the makefile. This allows us to make disk image TAR packages that

any modifications.

the contents need to be filled in for those platforms which sometimes

usable, is to just return. But if stdin/stdout is NOT usable, this

- argc was returning the wrong number of args. Now I treat null and space
the same way, except that null causes the loop to exit.
- change "extern "C" int WinMain" to "int WINAPI WinMain".
- in WinMain pause for the user to read the screen before making it disappear.
This is very useful when there was an error during startup because otherwise
you can't read it. However we'll probably want to disable it when the
user actually asked for Bochs to quit.
it's easier to find. The other one is for wxWindows on win32 only.
- for wxWindows on win32, I added a function called RedirectIOToConsole() from
an article in the Windows Developers Journal that creates a console window
and sets up stdin,stdout,stderr to operate on the console. This works,
except for a console freezing problem that I described on the mailing list
earlier today.
- Once it is working better, we may want to use the WinMain definition for
other types of compiles on win32, and maybe even for all win32 compiles. In
particular when we compile with SDL we should create a console window too.
- comment out some debug output from the command line parser, add \n's in

the logging system is ready to be used at this early stage.)
the bochsrc is loaded by default.
- if you asked for quick start, but the config file could not be loaded,
print a warning "Switching off quick start, because no configuration file
was found".
- now the behavior looks like this:
. no command line arg (most common)
-> .bochsrc is loaded
-> if found defaults to "5. Begin simulation"
-> if not found defaults to "2. Read options from..."
. command line arg -q (user want to quick start from .bochsrc)
-> .bochsrc is loaded
-> if found, run the simulation
-> if not found defaults to "2. Read options from..."
. command line arg -f (user specifies which conf file to load)
-> conf file is loaded
-> if found defaults to "5. Begin simulation"
-> if not found, print error message on console:
>>PANIC<< reading from bochsrc2.txt failed
. command line arg -qf (user want to quick start from a conf file)
-> conf file is loaded
-> if found, run the simulation
-> if not found, print error message on console:
>>PANIC<< reading from other failed
. after selection of "2. Read options from..."
-> defaults to "5. Begin simulation"
. if user wants to create a new conf file:
-> run bochs with no args
-> .bochsrc is loaded by default
-> choose 1. Restore factory default configuration
-> default is changed to "3. Edit options"
- See bug #625696 "text config menu: default can be wrong" for
more discussion of this issue.
. if BX_GUI_SIGHANDLER is true and the term gui is selected at run time,
a new global boolean (bx_gui_sighandler) variable is set to true.
Special signal handling is done if bx_gui_sighandler is true.
. if BX_GUI_SIGHANDLER is not true, bx_gui_sighandler is not compiled in.
New behaviour is:
. No command line arg (user want to load or create a new conf file)
-> no .bochsrc is loaded
-> defaults to "2. Read options from..."
. command line arg -q (user want to quick start from .bochsrc)
-> .bochsrc is loaded
-> if found Run the simulation
-> if not found defaults to "2. Read options from..."
. command line arg -f (user want to edit a conf file)
-> conf file is loaded
-> if found defaults to "3. Edit options"
-> if not found defaults to "2. Read options from..."
. command line arg -qf (user want to quick start from a conf file)
-> conf file is loaded
-> if found Run the simulation
-> if not found defaults to "2. Read options from..."
. After selection of "2. Read options from..."
-> defaults to "5. Begin simulation"
- fix "enable-control-panel" behaviour in configure.in.
- check if a romimage was supplied in the conf file.
If not, print a hint about a missing/corrupt conf file.
I hope I did not break anything, notably the Carbon gui
- add a new global struct bx_startup_flags which stores argc,argv and
when necessary, the WinMain arguments hInstance, hPrevInstance, etc.
The new struct is defined in gui/siminterface.h because it is needed in
both the main.cc code and in wxmain.cc and textconfig.cc (which don't
include bochs.h).
- rename main() to bxmain() and create new main() and WinMain().
main() and WinMain() just fill in the bx_startup_flags and then
call bxmain(). Only one is defined at a time, of course.
- so far, WinMain is ONLY used when compiling with wxWindows on win32.
It may be useful in other contexts as well, but I don't want to enable
it in any other situation without some serious testing of different
configurations.

"bx_bool" which is always defined as Bit32u on all platforms. In Carbon
specific code, Boolean is still used because the Carbon header files
define it to unsigned char.
- this fixes bug [ 623152 ] MacOSX: Triple Exception Booting win95.
The bug was that some code in Bochs depends on Boolean to be a
32 bit value. (This should be fixed, but I don't know all the places
where it needs to be fixed yet.) Because Carbon defined Boolean as
an unsigned char, Bochs just followed along and used the unsigned char
definition to avoid compile problems. This exposed the dependency
on 32 bit Boolean on MacOS X only and led to major simulation problems,
that could only be reproduced and debugged on that platform.
- On the mailing list we debated whether to make all Booleans into "bool" or
our own type. I chose bx_bool for several reasons.
1. Unlike C++'s bool, we can guarantee that bx_bool is the same size on all
platforms, which makes it much less likely to have more platform-specific
simulation differences in the future. (I spent hours on a borrowed
MacOSX machine chasing bug 618388 before discovering that different sized
Booleans were the problem, and I don't want to repeat that.)
2. We still have at least one dependency on 32 bit Booleans which must be
fixed some time, but I don't want to risk introducing new bugs into the
simulation just before the 2.0 release.

constructors around. The min,max that were being passed to the parent
class constructor had junk in them. In config.h.in, I defined the minimum
and maximum values for each integer datatype so now we pass correct
min and max values to the parent class. These replace the BX_MAX_[U]INT
and BX_MIN_[U]INT values.
- modified: main.cc config.h.in gui/siminterface.cc
bx_shadow_num_c able to handle pointers to 64 bit values. This
allows x86-64 and wxWindows to coexist.
- I had a number of duplicate constructors for bx_shadow_num_c,
with an without the description arg. I eliminated the ones
that had no description, and also removed the min/max arg from
all. I still need a bunch of constructors though, for
Bit64u*, Bit64s*, Bit32u*, Bit32s*, Bit16u*, Bit16s*, Bit8u*, Bit8s*.
Having all these constructors allows us to write
new bx_shadow_num (bxid, name, description, &value)
for basically any integer variable. They are all handled by the same class.
- these changes led to minor touchups in cpu/init.cc and iodev/keyboard.cc

different versions of the code for wxWindows and non-wxWindows and the GDB
stub did not accept any command line options at all.
- IMPORTANT CHANGE: the quick start option used to cause two things:
1) read the bochsrc immediately, 2) start simulation immediately without
going into the config interface. This has changed in a subtle way.
Now, we always try to read the bochsrc immediately. Then if the quick
start option is on, we start the simulation immediately.
- add "Restore Factory Default Configuration" in text config menu. It was
already there in wx. Now the default choice is always "5. Begin simulation"
and because the bochsrc is always read now, this works.
- When the user chooses "Read configuration file" from either text mode
or wx interfaces, reset all bochs parameters first, then read in the
new file. This means that every time you read a configuration file
you are starting from a consistent "blank slate".
- move much of the code from bx_do_text_config_interface into bx_init_main
so that wxWindows and non-wxWindows code uses the same logic. There was
only a tiny bit left in bx_do_text_config_interface so I eliminated it.
- move the "help" message into a separate function print_usage()
- detect all flags (cmdline args that start with -) in a loop, instead of
a big if/else. This makes it easy to add others.
- fix problem with Carbon gui, so that -psn arg gets ignored
- print usage if you type -h, --help, or if flags are not recognized
- code that called io->set_log_action (that sets the log action for all
devices) was only called if the configuration interface was on; I'm not
sure why. Now it is called all the time.
- the wxWindows equivalent of main() is called MyApp::OnInit. Now OnInit
and main() are very similar. They both call bx_init_siminterface, then
bx_init_main (and quit if it fails), then show the config interface if
quickstart is off, and then simulate.
- modified: main.cc gui/control.cc gui/wxmain.cc
bx_list_c can now be displayed as either a wxStaticBox with the
child parameters inside, or as a wxNotebook with each child
parameter in a separate tab. (The children can also be lists of
course.) The default display is the wxStaticBox type, but if you
set the option bit bx_list_c::USE_TAB_WINDOW in the list,
ParamDialog will use the wxNotebook display instead.
- to get the param trees working, I created a new struct
AddParamContext, which is passed to AddParam(). This struct is
critical when AddParam calls itself recursively to display lists
within lists.
- use the wxNotebook display feature for the ATA0,1,2,3 controller
dialog box. Now instead of being hundreds of pixels tall, it is
reasonable height with three different tabs. This fixed bug
#619074: "wx: ATA interface editor too tall" and was the whole
reason I started messing with this at all.
plus some minor cleanups
- when I added the enum constant bx_list_c::USE_TAB_WINDOW, I also
removed the BX_ prefix from all the other enum constants that are
used in parameter options in siminterface.cc. Since these constants
are enums within a class, there is no possibility of namespace
conflicts so the prefix is not needed.
- added wxADJUST_MINSIZE to all wxChoice controls, since that tells
wxWindows to adjust its size to the length of the longest string.
- instead of calling SetSize or SetSizeHints on every textcontrol with
a hardcoded width, I am using just two wxSize specifications for
everything: either normalTextSize or longTextSize.
- edit names of a few menus and params. For example now instead of
the tab saying "Master ATA device on channel 0" it will say
"First HD/CD on channel 0".

- make bx_init_main return -1 if any parse errors occur.
- wxWindows: if bx_init_main returns -1, don't even show the application
window. You'll get an error dialog and then it exits. So far this
only happens if you run with -q and the parse fails.
- non-wxWindows: if bx_init_main returns -1, just exit. So far this
only happens if you run with -q and the parse fails.
- with these changes, handling of bochsrc parse errors seems to work
as you would expect. And it certainly doesn't go into an infinite
recursive loop, as it used to!
- a little more testing and I can close

(0=success, -1=failure). If parse_line_unformatted returns failure, I
stop parsing the bochsrc.
- implement all parsing BX_PANICs with new PARSE_ERR macro, so that we can
easily change the behavior of all parse errors at once. For now, I want
it to BX_PANIC and then return -1 (case panic continues). Eventually I
might turn it into BX_ERROR and return -1.

time, so I've tried to improve it. Now the logfunctions class has a
static field default_onoff[] which represents the default actions for
each kind of log message. Default_onoff[] is initialized with static
data so it should be valid by the time it's used. This can be reached by
static accesors logfunctions::set_default_action and
logfunctions::get_default_action. It seemed appropriate to put the defaults
inside the logfunctions class, rather than in bx_options or siminterface.
However, to make them accessible to the config interface, I added similar
methods in siminterface that map to the accessors in logfunctions.
- logio.cc had two different definitions of LOG_THIS for different halves
of the file, which was ugly and confusing. (LOG_THIS is needed for BX_INFO,
BX_DEBUG, etc.) I removed the first definition and fixed the minor compile
problems that ensued. In the initializers for iofunctions, everything
is complicated because of the unpredictable order that constructors get
called. They must use this->log to print things, because genlog hasn't
been initialized yet.
- now if SIM->set_log_action(int mod, int level, int action) is called
with mod<0, it sets the action for all modules/devices instead of just one.

delivered to both the GUI and simulator thread, so they both call
bx_signal_handler. This can lead to deadlock as multiple threads enter
BX_PANIC and try to show a dialog box at once. To solve the problem, I made
a function isSimThread() which can be called from anywhere. If the
bx_signal_handler is called from any thread OTHER THAN the simulation thread,
it returns without doing anything. As a result, only one thread is allowed
to enter the signal handler code, and now control-C works correctly.
Bochs to immediately read the bochsrc and start simulating immediately (as
opposed to going into the configuration interface first). Now -q does

think i is still defined the second time.
- MSVC++: can't use a variable to define another variable's array bounds.
Now I use a #define for the array bounds instead.
to change the enable/disable status of other parameters worked fine for
the text mode interface but poorly for the wxWindows gui. So I
implemented it a different way. Now in every boolean parameter, there is
a field called dependent_list which is a list of parameters which
are enabled/disabled by that boolean. Having this list available
allows both the text mode CI and the wxWindows CI to know which fields
should be enabled and disabled as a result of a boolean changing value.
- I've made this change in many of the parameters, in the init code of
main.cc. When I add a dependent_list, I no longer need the "handler"
so I remove the call to set_handler and the cases in the handler
functions.
- in the process, I also made the serial and parallel port init code
into loops, instead of hardcoded initialization. Now if you change
the number of serial/parallel ports in bochs.h the correct number of
ports will be initialized and the menus will grow/shrink accordingly.
- fixed up a few names to improve the look of ParamDialog generated
dialogs.
access routines in access.cc, completing the upgrade of
those routines. You do need '--enable-guest2host-tlb', before
you get the speedups for now. The guest2host mods seem pretty
solid, though I do need to see what effects the A20 line has
on this cache and the paging TLB in general.
I use setjmp() to save the context just before calling
bx_continue_after_config_interface(). Then, in
bx_real_sim_c:quit_sim, I use longjmp() to jump back to that context.
This happens in main.cc and in gui/wxmain.cc (wxWindows only).
I haven't tested with the debugger yet. Possibly with debugger
the quit longjmp() should jump back to the debugger prompt loop
instead of actually quitting the program.
- clean up BX_ASYNC_EVT_LOG_MSG implementation by creating a different,
synchronous event called BX_SYNC_EVT_LOG_ASK. The async event
could be used to simply tell the CI that an event has occurred,
for example if the user wanted to view the events on screen
(not implemented). The sync event is used when you want the user
to respond before the simulation can continue, such as a for the
"panic=ask" behavior.
- in wxmain.cc, move the updates to the Start,Stop,Pause,Resume menu
items into a separate method simStatusChanged(). This makes the code that
does important stuff more readable.
- remove wxMutexGuiEnter()/Leave() from MyFrame::OnSim2CuiEvent().
This method is an event handler called in the gui thread, so it
already has the gui lock. This call caused thread lock on my linux
box.
bx_do_text_config_interface() to make it clear that it's not used
with wxWindows. Before, it was around only the line of that function that
failed to compile.
the terminology a bit. In particular, the term "gui" has started
to mean different things in different contexts, so I've defined
some more specific names for the parts of the user interface, and
updated comments and some variable names to reflect it. See
siminterface.h for a more complete description of all of these.
VGAW: VGA display window and toolbar buttons, the traditional Bochs
display which is ported to X, win32, MacOS X, etc. Implemented
in gui/gui.* and platform dependent gui/*.cc files.
CI: configuration interface that lets the user change settings such
as floppy disk image, ne2k settings, log options. The CI consists
of two parts: configuration user interface (CUI) which does the
actual rendering to the screen and handles key/mouse/menu events,
and the siminterface object.
CUI: configuration user interface. This handles the user interactions
that allow the user to configure Bochs. To actually change any
values it talks to the siminterface object. One implementation of
the CUI is the text-mode menus in gui/control.cc. Another
implementation is (will be) the wxWindows menus and dialogs in
gui/wxmain.cc.
siminterface: the glue between the CUI and the simulation code,
accessible throughout the code by the global variable
bx_simulator_interface_c *SIM;
Among other things, siminterface methods allow the simulator to ask the
CUI to display things or ask for user input, and allows the CUI
to query and modify variables in the simulation code.
GUI: Literally, "graphical user interface". Until the configuration menus
and wxWindows came along, everyone understood that "gui" referred to the
VGA display window and the toolbar buttons because that's all there
was. Now that we have the wxWindows code, which implements both the VGAW
and the CUI, while all other platforms implement only the VGAW, it's not
so clear. So, I'm trying to use VGAW, CI, and CUI consistently since
they are more specific.
control panel: This has been used as another name for the configuration
interface. "control panel" is also somewhat unspecific and it sounds
like it would be graphical with buttons and sliders, but our text-mode
thing is not graphical at all. I've replaced "control panel" with
"configuration interface" wherever I could find it. In configure script,
the --disable-control-panel option is still supported, but it politely
suggests that you use --disable-config-interface instead.
- clean up comments in siminterface,wx* code
- add comments and examples for bx_param_* and BxEvents
- remove some obsolete stuff: notify_*_args,
bx_simulator_interface_c::[sg]et_enabled() methods
- in siminterface.cc, move a few bx_real_sim_c methods to where they belong,
with the rest of the methods. No changes to the actual methods.
- remove some DOS ^M's which crept in and confused my editor.
mirrored the use of enable_control_panel exactly. This should not cause
any change in behavior, and it lets me eliminate these methods which
don't make much sense anymore.

- bx_serial_options for all 4 ports moved into an array com[4]
- serial port com1 is enabled by default
- detection of com2, com3 and com4 config options disabled for now
- new parameter "enabled" added to the serial bochsrc options
- error handling for serial and parallel bochsrc options changed. The unhandled
BX_PANICs are replaced by BX_ERRORs.
- new function bx_write_serial_options() added
- serial destructor restores original terminal settings only when serial port
is enabled and the tty_id is valid
parport1 with the new option "enabled". The old option "enable" only
controlled the output. The parport1 is enabled with no output by default.
Changes:
* bochrc option "enable" replaced by "enabled"
* parport option "Oenable" replaced by "Opresent"
* bx_parport_options par1 and par2 replaced by an array par[2]
* initialize parport1 resources only when enabled
* renamed variable "parport_init_list" to "par_ser_init_list" since it
contains parport and serial options
* documentation and bochsrc updates
- the parport variables "output" and "initmode" now belong to the bx_par_t
structure
- TODO: add parport2 (disabled by default), parport detection in the bios
installation dependent values in a global configuration file. If you are
including such a file, you only need to define the disk images and other
guest OS dependent stuff.
- new command line option '-q' (quickstart) added (the same as '-nocp')
- new command line option '-qf' (quickstart + config file) added (the same as
'-nocp -f')
- missing initialization of Ouser_shortcut in bx_options added
the guest OS. The shortcut can be defined in the bochsrc or in the config
interface. It is possible to change it at runtime.
These shortcuts are currently recognized:
ctrlaltdel, ctrlaltesc, ctrlaltf1, alttab
Here is the list of changes:
* userbutton.h and userbutton.xpm added in gui/bitmaps
* config options for the userbutton shortcut added
* initialize the new button in the gui.cc
* the new userbutton handler generates keypresses and relaeses depending on
the shortcut keyword
* the gui stops adding buttons to the headerbar if not enough space is left.
This can happen when the screen width is 320 pixels (done for X11 only).
* TODO: build a dialog box for the wxWindows gui

- floppy variable "initial_status" and cdrom variable "inserted" renamed to
"status"
- unused variable *ips in function build_runtime_options_prompt() disabled
* new floppy type 360k can be used in .bochsrc and the config interface
* media type and geometry can be set for the floppy type
* BIOS changes to make 360k floppy drives work
* bximage can create 360k images now

the default is "%t%i%d", so the logprefix is the same as before.

floppy_bootsig_check: disabled=[0|1]. It is not disabled by default.
Sorry for any inconvenience it could cause
- changed the default (if cmos reg is 0) behavior for the floppy boot signature
check, so the new bios is compatible with older bochs binaries (useful if we
want to use the new bios when we release 1.4.1) :
1 : disabled
0 : enabled
- added info at launch time about the boot device and the floppy boot signature
check
- added a "LBA capable" flag in the ata controller
if you turn the delay down to 0, but it doesn't actually paste any
faster so there's no point. I will try to be satisfied with only
1000 chars per second. :)
* don't change the device state to "not present" at runtime if the path is
changed to "none" - simply eject the media if inserted
* don't change the device state to "present" at runtime if the previous state
is "not present"
* eject and re-insert the media if the current media state is "inserted"
* changing the media state in the config interface works now
* TODO: don't do anything if the path is unchanged
- bx_write_cdrom_options(): writing media state fixed
Here are the patches (without the serial name fix). Let me know if you want
me to change that. Oh, FYI, my changes also open up the com1 terminal in raw
mode, which makes the emulation much more accurate. You'll also notice that
I added infrastructure for com2->4 in the option parsing. I didn't add it to
the serial code, as I think a bunch of things need to be untangled before
that can work.
interface menus. Parallel port #1 is implemented, and I left stubs for
parallel port #2 in case we want to ever add it. If the parallel port
is enabled, the init method of parallel.cc does an fopen() on the output
file. If disabled, or if the fopen fails, the file handler remains
NULL and no characters are printed. There is no attempt to enable/disable
the operation of the parallel port, only the output to a file.
removed! I used this trick sometimes to check that a function returned
what I expected, like assert (func () == 0), but this caused the
func() to never get called. Oops.
- rework the order of initialization with and without the control panel.
The thing that was bothering me most was the command line options were
being processed after the user had set everything in the control panel.
This is clearly not what's expected--the command line options should
affect the startup defaults of the control panel, but whatever the user
chooses in the cpanel menus is the final choice.
- if the control panel (config interface) is not wanted, the user can
put "-nocp" or "-nocontrolpanel" as the FIRST argument on the command
line. Also, the "-psn" option which is automatically passed in by
MacOS X when you doubleclick the application causes the control panel
to be disabled. In this case, the order of operations is:
1. read bochsrc
2. parse command line options.
- if the control panel is enabled (default), the command line options are
parsed to provide the startup defaults for the control panel, but the
control panel settings are the final answer. So the order is:
1. parse command line options
2. run control panel (if user chooses, he can read bochsrc from menus)
- I haven't tested command line options with the debugger yet.
media status to 0 then 1 (equivalent to removing then inserting a disk).
Then it calls the UI function bx_gui.update_floppy_status_buttons()
if the interface has been initialized already.
cylinders, heads, and spt of each hard disk to be 1 instead of 0. This
caused the BIOS to report the existence of the hard disks, even when
they were never configured. The most obvious symptom of this problem
was "read multiple issued to non-disk" when a cdrom was enabled, which
happened because the BIOS tried to send hard disk commands to the CDROM.
which notifies them that the mouse_enabled bit has changed. Now that
mouse_enabled can be initialized or modified by parameter events in
addition to GUI events, the guis must be prepared for it. I have pasted
empty method definitions into mouse_enabled_changed_specific for all
guis except for X11, which I did the right way. The implementation
of this function must use the argument "val" rather than reading the
parameter.
control panel are all implemented as bx_list_c, and look much like
they did before.
- removed many hardcoded UI functions from control.cc, since the
much more general "text_ask" methods have replaced them.
- add range checking on integer parameter values. This exposed several
cases where my initial value for an integer parameter was not in range.
- cleaned up behavior of get/set methods. The get/set methods allow the
handler to override the value that is returned/set, or perform side
effects.
- the title parameter of a bx_list_c now defaults to the name.
- now bx_param_c fields that used to be private are protected instead
- removed references to bx_any
- moved definition of set_handler from siminterface.h to siminterface.cc.
I was considering with doing a "set" of the old value when the
handler is first installed, but that remains commented out.
- BX_BOOT_DISKA and BX_BOOT_DISKC are now 0,1 so that they can correspond
with the values of a bx_param_enum_c. For a while they were 0x00 and 0x80
corresponding to the numbering convention of the bios, but it didn't
really matter.
been converted into parameters temporarily have the letter "O" appended
to their name. I don't want to keep it this way, but it has helped
in the conversion process because the compiler refuses to compile the
old uses of the name. Before I started using the "O" trick, there were
many bugs like this: if (bx_options.diskc.present) {...}
This was legal with the new parameters, but it was testing whether the
parameter structure had been created, instead of testing the value of
the present parameter. Renaming present to Opresent turns this into
a compile error, which points out the incorrect use of the param.
- the "--disable-control-panel" no longer works, I'm afraid. I can no
longer support this and continue progress.
data structures, see bx_init_options in main.cc. The implementation
of this menu and all its choices is 17 lines long, see do_mem_options_menu
in gui/control.cc.
now the whole "Bochs Memory Options" menu uses new style parameters.
The next step is to remove the hardcoded stuff that generates and runs
this menu, and replace it with general menu building code. All you should
need to create this menu is the string "Bochs Memory Options", and the
IDs of the bx_param_c options that should appear on the menu. The
bx_param_c structure for each parameter tell what type it is, how to
display it, constraints on the value, what to do when the parameter
changes.
declared as bx_param_c * types in the bx_options structure. They are
initialized in main.cc (bx_init_options) with default values.
Access to parameters of this type should always be like this:
bx_options.mouse_enabled->get ();
bx_options.mouse_enabled->set (newval);
Eventually I will be transferring all options to this format.
when main.cc no longer had one. Now compiling with debugger is working
with the control panel. To get the control panel, you have to click
the snapshot button, and to get the debugger, you have to press ^C.
These should be better integrated (maybe a control panel menu choice
that jumps into the debugger and a debugger command that starts the
runtime control panel...)
BX_SUPPORT_APIC were used. To follow the pattern used by other
names like this, I changed them all to BX_SUPPORT_APIC.
Thanks to Tom Lindström for chasing this down!
panel. It gives the user the option of continue this time, continue
and never ask again for this type of log message, or die.
- the communication between control.cc and siminterface.cc is still
somewhat crude. I'm trying to implement it so that a network
protocol based on this interface will be simple. I'll get this cleaned
up soon.
writes a bochsrc for you.
- since there were two options related to logging, I moved them both
into a new struct called bx_log_options. This follows the pattern
used by other devices.
- in control.cc: removed option 1 from main menu, the one that said
"Read options from bochsrc.txt." This was identical to choosing
the next option, "Read options from..." and only saved you one
keystroke, so I removed it.
BX_CPU_C bx_cpu;
BX_MEM_C bx_mem;
and when more than one processor, use
BX_CPU_C *bx_cpu_array[BX_SMP_PROCESSORS];
BX_MEM_C *bx_mem_array[BX_ADDRESS_SPACES];
The changeover is controlled by BX_SMP_PROCESSORS, but there are only
a few code changes since nearly all code uses the BX_CPU(n) and BX_MEM(n)
macros.
- This turns out to make a 10% speed difference! With this revision,
the CVS version now gets 95% of the performance of the 3/25/2000
snapshot, which I've been using as my baseline.
is the first attempt to regain the performance of pre-SMP bochs
(1.1.2). When simulating only one processor, stay in cpu_loop forever
as pre-SMP versions did. The overhead of returning from cpu_loop over
and over was slowing us down.
in BRANCH-smp-bochs revisions.
- The general task was to make multiple CPU's which communicate
through their APICs. So instead of BX_CPU and BX_MEM, we now have
BX_CPU(x) and BX_MEM(y). For an SMP simulation you have several
processors in a shared memory space, so there might be processors
BX_CPU(0..3) but only one memory space BX_MEM(0). For cosimulation,
you could have BX_CPU(0) with BX_MEM(0), then BX_CPU(1) with
BX_MEM(1). WARNING: Cosimulation is almost certainly broken by the
SMP changes.
- to simulate multiple CPUs, you have to give each CPU time to execute
in turn. This is currently implemented using debugger guards. The
cpu loop steps one CPU for a few instructions, then steps the
next CPU for a few instructions, etc.
- there is some limited support in the debugger for two CPUs, for
example printing information from each CPU when single stepping.
- change Makefile.in to "cvs-snapshot" information rather than printing
the release number, since in fact it's not the same as the release anymore
- use #defines to give the actions names (ACT_IGNORE, ACT_REPORT, ACT_FATAL)
- register all logfunctions as they call setio, and keep a list so that
we can change their settings more easily. I admit I used a static-sized
array to store them. Sorry.
- instead of printing a prefix [GEN ] for generic messages, just leave the
prefix blank [ ]. Otherwise you start wondering what does gen stand
for.
- avoid reentry into fatal, since fatal can call BX_INFO and friends.
This avoids a potential infinite recursion.
- now that files other than .bochsrc can be the rc file, print the
actual name of the file in error messages.
what action to take on panic, error, info, and debug. The lines don't
have any effect quite yet because of an initialization order problem
with the logfunctions.
To see the commit logs for this use either cvsweb or
cvs update -r BRANCH-io-cleanup and then 'cvs log' the various files.
In general this provides a generic interface for logging.
logfunctions:: is a class that is inherited by some classes, and also
. allocated as a standalone global called 'genlog'. All logging uses
. one of the ::info(), ::error(), ::ldebug(), ::panic() methods of this
. class through 'BX_INFO(), BX_ERROR(), BX_DEBUG(), BX_PANIC()' macros
. respectively.
.
. An example usage:
. BX_INFO(("Hello, World!\n"));
iofunctions:: is a class that is allocated once by default, and assigned
as the iofunction of each logfunctions instance. It is this class that
maintains the file descriptor and other output related code, at this
point using vfprintf(). At some future point, someone may choose to
write a gui 'console' for bochs to which messages would be redirected
simply by assigning a different iofunction class to the various logfunctions
objects.
More cleanup is coming, but this works for now. If you want to see alot
of debugging output, in main.cc, change onoff[LOGLEV_DEBUG]=0 to =1.

signal. First, selection of the GUI should cause BX_GUI_SIGHANDLER to
be defined in config.h.in. Then, the GUI should define member functions
Bit32u get_sighandler_mask ();
void sighandler (int sig);
The mask function returns a bitfield where one bit corresponds to each
signal. For any signal whose bit is set to 1 in the return value of
get_sighandler_mask, the gui will control that signal. When the signal
arrives, bx_gui.sighandler(sig) will be called by bx_signal_handler,
instead of the default behavior of that signal.
since at present there's no way to actually manage this. To use both,
we will need to put the cdrom (or diskd) onto second ide controller with
a different IRQ.
