- Initialize local state variables to 0. Likely non functional changes due
to lack of depth in static analysis scan. Coverity detects real problems
like this.
- Avoid potential out of array indexing due to theoretical array
reference via signed char index. Likely non functional change.
Most history routines defined a local sim_eval of the proper length, but the
erroneous ones were fixed length machines that defined an integer variable
instead of an integer array of length 1. The VAX used the global sim_eval.
The changes follow the VAX practice.
These changes facilitate more robust parameter type checking and helps
to identify unexpected coding errors.
Most simulators can now also be compiled with a C++ compiler without
warnings.
Additionally, these changes have also been configured to facilitate easier
backporting of simulator and device simulation modules to run under the
simh v3.9+ SCP framework.
This reverts commit 5551a0dd9c.
The original idea was that the state being put into simh registers would be required to have all useful information available when remote console executed commands. These steps were taken from the code that sim_instr() executed as it was exiting. After this change was made it was realized that once a remote console command executed it might change state that directly affected instruction execution. To solve this, the logic that executes before the instructions in sim_instr() would then need to be executed whenever the event dispatch processing completed. This approach is messy, burdensome and potentially a lot of overhead for every event dispatch even though almost none of the event dispatches would be for remote console command execution. A completely different approach was suggested by J. David Bryan. That alternative approach would be to have remote console commands execute outside of the sim_instr() routine. Thus allowing the existing prelude and postlude code in sim_instr() to be performed naturally and let the remote console activities run in the same context as all other simh commands. Recent changes to scp and sim_console implement this alternative approach and thus these original changes are completely irrelevant and are thus being removed.
In 32-bit mode, the compiler truncates constants to 32-bit.
We need LL suffix to avoid the truncation.
This behavior is contrary to the C 99 standard which defines
that constants that do not fit into long and unsigned long shall
have long long type.
The makefile now works for Linux and most Unix's. However, for Solaris
and MacOS, you must first export the OSTYPE environment variable:
> export OSTYPE
> make
Otherwise, you will get build errors.
