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...)
better name given what the options actually are.
- now runtime menu behaves more like the others: it updates its floppy
disk image, etc.
- add "ask" as a legal choice for log action
- now runtime menu has both ways of editing log options
a read-only disk image. For systems such as DOS that actually use the
BIOS services, it was also necessary to add code in int13_diskette_function
to recognize a write-protected error and return the correct error
status code (AH=3, Carry Set).
now floppy.cc no longer crashes if you try to open a write-protected
disk or read-only disk image. Instead, it tries a second time to
open the image read-only and only panics if this also fails. If the
image is opened read-only, a readonly flag is set
(bx_floppy.s.media[drive].read_only). If you try to write the floppy
when this flag is set, the write silently fails except for some messages
into the log. Instead of failing silently we should learn what the
floppy controller would really do in this situation and emulate it.
just being careful what I wrote in the Makefile.in. But now configure
itself is substituting values for prefix and exec-prefix that include
curly brackets, so being careful was no longer good enough. If you
run .conf.win32-vcpp it will remove them.
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.
BX_USE_CONTROL_PANEL is set. I put the #if...#endif thing around
the entire file in siminterface.cc and control.cc so that it's safe
to compile them in either case.
