- 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 BuildROMs project now runs the BuildROMs program that was most
recently built (Debug or Release). This will identify ROM data inconsistencies
that may exist at build time.
When building other projects which may depend on ROM data, the BuildROMs
is run as a sanity check and if it fails we make sure that we hadn't run an out
of date Release build version of the BuildROMs binary.
Added support for per line tcp listen ports.
Added support for per line outgoing tcp/telnet connections.
Removed DEV_NET from pdp11_dz and pdp11_vh emulators to allow proper restore of
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.
This allows a single simulator executable to be a completely useful component (for those simulators which dynamically load ROM or other boot code).
Meanwhile, we continues to allow the explicit use of a user's preferred ROM or other boot code as well.
A build option is provided in the makefile to not build with the included ROM functionality if desired.
