* missing VBE support added, use xmax / ymax variables instead of the
values 640 / 480
* use the constant Y_TILESIZE when checking the y position
* variable vga_mem_updated was always set twice
For years we have been writing beyond the end of this array in the VGA code:
bx_bool vga_tile_updated[BX_NUM_X_TILES][BX_NUM_Y_TILES];
and doing who-know-how-much damage to other memory structures in the process.
I changed every reference to vga_tile_updated[][] into calls to two macros
GET_TILE_UPDATED and SET_TILE_UPDATED, and defined the macros to check
the bounds of the array before referencing it. At first I used an
assert, then a panic, then an error, and now I'm not printing any message
at all because there were thousands and thousands of messages during
a boot of win95 when it's updating the win95 logo screen.
- I couldn't resist cleaning up a few confusing-looking things like
"if (condition) { // }". There are no functional changes except for
bounds checking on the vga_tile_updated array.
"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.

- default value of the sequencer reset bits is 1 (no reset)
- sequencer reset flag 1 resets the charmap select register when cleared
- skip the screen update when the sequencer is in reset mode (h/v sync and
video ram refresh are disabled in that case)
- don't clear the memory update flag before the update is done
- skip the text screen update when the character height is set to 1 (MSL = 0)
- sequencer debug messages updated
if init() is called a second time. This allows me to restart a
simulation (wxwindows interface only) without restarting the whole
application.
- modified: iodev/*.cc
requesting source can be registered as well. Otherwise, there
is no way to know which source modules are requesting
suspect frequencies which are too high.
set_text_charbyte()
- vga: store the address of the active charmap in the new variable
charmap_address
- vga: text mode hack removed. The write modes, operations and masks must be
used in text mode too.
- sdl: clear_screen() is not necessary when the charmap has changed
- win32: update only the changed font bitmaps before drawing the text
vga_charmap
- the SDL gui uses the charmap data for the vga text display
* TODO: implement this feature for other guis
- removed unused variables in sdl.cc and gui.cc
- fixed a warning in vga.cc
Some devices already had one. Some I had to add an empty one.
I did a little cleaning of init() methods to make them more uniform
but generally I left them alone.
- I also put these exact diffs into a patch "patch.iodev-add-reset"
in case I want to revert these changes for some reason, for example
if they break an old patch. It should be deleted after a while.
- The emulated vga card issues a dimension_update() using the real
screen dimensions and the real font height.
- The gui selects a font with the requested height or it recalculates
the screen height if the font height is not available.
- The text_update() function uses a new variable 'ncols' instead of the
fixed value of 80 for the number of text columns.
I have tested the changes with X11/Linux, SDL, wxGTK and win32. The changes
in the other guis are not tested yet.
cursor size issue a screen update request
- reading an invalid CRTC register returns 0 / writing is ignored
- bit 7 of CRTC address register is always 0
- debug messages for CRTC registers updated / panics removed
- use the number of visible columns in text mode when calculating the screen
width and the cursor position
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.
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.
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.
Comments, bugs, flames, to me: todd@fries.net
Basicly what it does is, it help VGA16 find the syncing, because of the
technique it uses, bochs did not help it figure out the timing diffrences
with its one size fits all timing.
