by Ben Lunt. To connect a USB floppy you can use the 'floppy' device with the
path to the image separated with a colon. VVFAT is also supported.
FIXME: The device detection fails on some recent Linux distributions.
FIXME: Only 1.44M media format is currently supported.
TODO: Media change without disconnect is not implemented yet.
VS2013 nmake. In addition to this change in the Bochs code, the environment
variables for the command prompt need to be modified this way:
===
set INCLUDE=%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\7.1A\Include;%INCLUDE%
set PATH=%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\7.1A\Bin;%PATH%
set LIB=%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\7.1A\Lib;%LIB%
set CL=/D_USING_V110_SDK71_;%CL%

implemented important CPU statistics which were used for Bochs CPU model performance analysis.
old statistics code from paging.cc and cpu.cc is replaced with new infrastructure.
In order to enale statitics collection in Bochs CPU:
- Enable statistics @ compilation time in cpu/cpustats.h
- Dump statistics periodically by adding -dumpstats N into Bochs command line
- embedding combined manifest makes BOCHS.EXE usable
- list of DLL plugins now depends on the pci and debugger options
- 'make clean' now removes the generated manifest files
- renamed variable for external rules
- documentation update
complete and usable with the BOCHS.EXE built with the IDE.
TODO #1: fix BOCHS.EXE built with nmake (manifest issue)
TODO #2: make the currently fixed DLL plugin list variable
rules can be built now (keyboard, pit, gameport, serial, vga, svga_cirrus,
hdimage, netmod, soundmod, usb_common). The generated DLLs are usable with the
BOCHS.EXE built with the IDE, but the nmake won't work at all yet.
(bx_hdimage.dll) can be built now. All plugins that require special rules
could be fixed for nmake in a similar way.
TODO: find a way to compile plugins with standard rules (GNU make uses bx_%.dll
in that case, but MSVC nmake doesn't support this syntax).
required an external binary and it couldn't be ported to Windows. Now the new
builtin and portable slirp support based on Qemu's implementation is almost
stable and all the 'vnet' DHCP and TFTP features have been ported to the new
slirp module.
TODO: rename all the "slirp_new" stuff to "slirp"
- added container_of() macro replacement
- fixed unresolved symbol in netmod.cc
- added MSVC-style structure packing pragmas
- check for the presence of min / max macros
- enabled slirp_new for MSVC in configure script
TODO list:
- check for more updates from Qemu
- fix lots of compiler warnings
- reduce code duplication with 'vnet' module (DHCP, TFTP, ARP)
- add separate config file for slirp to make it more flexible (using the
'script' parameter)
- update MSVC workspace files
- add SMB support on Linux
- remove slirp backend module after next Bochs release
is almost a port of the Qemu 1.1.2 implementation. It has been tested successfully
on Linux and Windows (MinGW/MSYS). The networking module is currently called
"slirp_new", since the "slirp" backend module still exists.
TODO list:
- MSVC support (requires container_of() macro replacement)
- apply fixes and improvements from recent Qemu releases
- use our TFTP implementation to reduce code duplication
- check if we can share ARP and DHCP support with "vnet"
- add SMB support on Linux
- finally remove the slirp backend module support
when we use -lwsock32, but don't include it's header if __CYGWIN__ is defined.
Moved DEVICE_LINK_OPTS to a separate variable instead of appending options to
GUI_LINK_OPTS.
