take RAW_BYTES string out of bx_param_string_c into new param type bx_param_bytestring_c (better name, anybody?)
this is intermediate step, later it would be better to merge bx_param_string into generic template bx_param<type>
but bx_param_bytestring_cis not matching that concept (or probably will continue to inherit from bx_param<string>)
use new method do dump param tree during save/restore, GUI and text debugger and other places
significantly reduce code duplication over multiple modules
the method dumps param to the FILE
use new method do dump param tree during save/restore
also make more use of parse_param methods which initialize param from a string
- Added capability to save/restore float type values in paramtree / siminterface.
- Added Voodoo2 triangle generator data to save/restore list.
- Implemented bitBLT function "SGRAM fill".
- Minor other changes and cleanups.
- TODO: remaining bitBLT functions, thread handling improvements.
code. Now the runtime configuration runs in the Bochs window instead of
console / xterm. The simulation screen is restored when the
simulation continues. This feature can be implemented for all guis
without gui dialog box support (e.g. sdl2/sdl2 on non-win32 platforms, rfb).
with devices conected at runtime.
- Added restore handler support for the bx_list_c class. If a handler is
registered, it will be called after restoring all of the list's members.
- USB hub: add special lists to the port state and add pointers to the
runtime-only options for each port. The restore handler of this list calls
init_device() to make sure all connected devices can be restored.
- Call restore_logopts() after restoring hardware to make sure all saved
modules have been created.
- TODO: the USB cdrom also needs a fix for it's runtime-only options.
- If the runtime flag of a bx_list_c object is set, all it's items are set up
as runtime options.
- Set the runtime parameter for all top-level runtime-only lists. Setting up
each single parameter is no longer needed.
- isempty() returns 1 if string length is 0 or string has special value "none"
- sprint() copies the formatted / converted string into a buffer
- use new methods in some parts of the code (TODO: win32 dialogs)
- check for the special value "none" to avoid failures
- moved 'user_shortcut' option to the keyboard option
- added new bx_param_c option value BOCHSRC_HIDDEN for parameters that should
only be available in the config interface. The new bochsrc option save and
parser function skip parameters with this flag set. This is useful for
parameters that will be set from the parser in a different way.
- save keyboard bochsrc line using the parameter list directly
- parse keyboard bochsrc options (except 'keymap') using the parameter list
- user shortcut: old-style syntax has already been removed
- increased minimum value for the keyboard's 'serial_delay'
also works and no deplist trick is required
- bx_param_c destructor now deletes the dependent list if it exists (memory leak)
- bx_list_c::clear() only deletes the parameter if the list is it's parent
- added new method cleanup_save_restore() to free memory on simulator shutdown
- bx_list_c: don't accept duplicate param names in list (except dependent lists
and special menus)
- added BX_PANIC for malloc() failure
- harddrv: fixed wrong variable found with bx_list_c changes
also for textconfig - fix operation under cygwin
under cygwin it is not guaranteed that any printf is printed on the screen under you flush the FILE stream.

Desription for CHANGES:
- Memory
- Added new configure option which enables RAM file backing for large guest
memory with a smaller amount host memory, without causing a panic when
host memory is exhausted (patch by Gary Cameron). To enable configure with
--enable-large-ramfile option.
