- Add common system includes used in may places which are allowed
and thus added directly in sim_defs.h.
- Separate completely private system data structures and system APIs
for use only by SCP library routines into sim_scp_private.h.
Asynchronous MUX functionality was added long ago and never completely
tested and thus never completed and never actually used.
All of what it was supposed to achieve was independently achieved when
bit rate speed functionality was added.
The simh v3 UNIT structure only provided UNIT fields wait, u3, u4, u5 and u6
available for static initialization beyond what is provided by the UDATA
macro. This change assures that here as well.
If a simulator developer needs to initialize UNIT fields beyond what is
available here and via the UDATA macro, then explicit code usually in
the DEVICE reset routine should be used to initialize those fields.
Fix the CDC1700 simulator which statically initialized additional UNIT fields.
Partial reading is needed to properly read common archive images found
on bitsavers and elsewhere which were made from QIC devices which must
read multiples of 512 bytes at a time.
- bounds check accesses in get_rval and put_rval for circular registers
- extend unit tests for REGister sanity checks to include all macros
- add sanity checks for new REGister macros
- Rewrote get_rval, put_rval to support fields within arrays of structures
- REG "size" field now determines access size
- REG "maxval" field now determines maximum allowed value
Merge from v3.12
- More robust and reasonable behaviors when NOAUTOSIZE is enabled
- Repair/extension of disk metadata when AUTOSIZE is enabled
- MediaID support when device presents it
- Automatic MTAB generation when DEVICE provides a DRVTYPE list
Some simulators and/or devices may want to provide specific testing
activities outside of full simulator execution which often will require
external, potentially complicated setup.
Historically this functionality was reimplemented within each
DEVICE simulator often with slightly different implementations
and inconsistencies. Solving this globally within SCP required
changes in many places, but should henceforth be reasonably
managed.
As discussed in #1034
The new REG_DEPOSIT register flag bit indicates that updates to a
REGister with this flag specified will invoke the sim_vm_reg_update
routine after the data has been updated.
This avoids a potential invalid pointer dereference when formatting
the return value from sim_instr() if it is < SCPE_BASE but greater
than the previously defined static array size.sizeof
Update simh.doc to reflect this generic change.
The paradigm of using a "weak" linker reference to find what was
previously the vm_init_routine() doesn't work reliably on all compile
environments supported by the simulators. This has been reported
in #794 and it came up again in #862. This change assures that
it will not come up again AND it reliably solves the problem with
Visual Studio compilers (and linker) that randomly chooses whether
to have the desired effect or not.
Of the 82 simulators which are currently part of simh, only these
three used the sim_vm_init() interface, so removing it had relatively
minor impact.
- Make all PDP11, VAX RP and RQ devices autosizing behave similarly
- Generalize the attach help to be specific to the device/system being
attached
- Remove the sim_disk_pdp10_* calls which weren't correct or needed
since sim_disk_attach_ex provides sector size which is used correctly
If libpcreposix isn't available, we can't fall back to the local
regex.h since the default C runtime on Linux and OS/X implementations
of the regex functionality doesn't ever match regular expressions
with imbedded newlines.
The original approach had separate parallel arrays for each relevant
state variable for each calibrated timer. That worked when there were
only a few state variables, the state info for a timer belongs in a
structure.
- Force the detection point of a tape structure error to be the logical EOM
on the tape.
- Enable SIGINT abort of a possibly long running validation scan
- Add -L detail record structure option at ATTACH time
- Add extra garbage at end of generated test data files
