- Cleanup build details and provide initial detection support for
building Visual Studio 2026.
- Automatically leverage the v141 Visual Studio platform Toolset if
it is installed. This avoids failing build attempts when windows_build
hasn't yet been updated to support the frequently changing VS2022
or VS2026 build components.
- Fix pdp11.vcproj to avoid warning when project is converted.
- Fix trivial compiler warnings in alpha_cpu.c and hp_tapelib.c
Visual Studio defaults to disable the ability to redirect stdout and stderr
for the cl.exe program during a build. This change allows us to capture,
record and display the compiler version.
Compiled in support is preferred over dlopen efforts with a fallback to
printf/fgets when neither is available at compile and runtime.
All platforms support file path expansion on command entry of tab characters
- All projects use identical include directories, library definitions and
library directories.
- Remove attempts to add XP support to projects that were converted to
.vcxproj for post VC2008 versions of Visual Studio.
- Require that git be available when building within a git repository
working directory.
The logic here is based on the idea that a restore image contains the memory content for a running simulator, while the attached files contain the disk contents for that simulator. If the disk contents have changed since the memory image was created then the two data sets are likely out of sync and disk details cached in memory (i.e. file system information, storage allocation, etc.) will likely result in corrupted disk structures if they are used.
The default behavior is to fail the restore operation if these inconsistencies are noticed. This sanity check can be overridden if the restore command is invoked with the '-F' switch: sim> restore -F simulator-state.file
Also added logging of all erro messages produced during a restore operation to both stdout and a simulator log file if it is being used.
