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.
1. Added RP03 support and supporting "SET" commands.
2. Fixed implementation of DPCF (it's a full reset and not blocked by BUSY).
3. Fixed handling of JOB DONE flag (not touched by NOP, SEEK, or RECAL).
The terminal service (in the ISR) forces a CR to be output IMMEDIATELY (before anything in the output queue) when 0212 is seen on input, so it needs to echo as a LF.
I hadn't seen any (other) echo support, so I had assumed the interface was half-duplex, which of course means passwords would appear on the paper!
- Added unix v0 terminal support
- Added 3-cycle databreak set/show entries
- Revised for dynamically allocated memory
- Added support for -u modifier (UC15 and Unix v0)
These changes are to support the Unix v0 bringup and to implement a
"Unix input" mode on the console terminal. In Unix mode, CR and LF are
swapped (so that a modern terminal can use 'enter' instead of CTRK-J to
create the newline Unix expects), escape is mapped to altmode (175),
upper and lower case are enabled and the parity bit is forced to 1. This
most closely matches the characteristics of the KSR-37, but there is no
definitive evidence of the terminal that was actually used.
This merges the latest PDP18B changes from Bob Supnik:
- It adds the RB disk to the PDP-7 and the drum (DRM) to the PDP-9, per the
discoveries in the 18b services listing.
- It tweaks the switches for examine and deposit to support Unix v0 and
(eventually) the Unichannel.
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.
The goals here being to simplify calling code while getting consistent output delivered everywhere it may be useful.
Modified most places which explicitly used sim_log or merely called printf to now avoid doing that and merely call sim_printf().
Finishing the last DECtape device which was missed when this functionality was added to pdp11_dt, pdp18b_dt and pdp8_dt
in commits: 2934112a70 and c9e8121c16
Cleaned up the pdp11, pdp18b and other pdp8 implementations to make backporting cleaner.
Made sure that buffer flushing happens correctly when simulation returns to the sim> prompt.
Very minor in all cases, but the strange case of swtp_cpu.c
This module used expressions of the form:
PC = ++PC & ADDRMASK;
Officially, the C language says that expressions which modify the same variable in more than one place have undefined behavior.
These were changed to the legal form which performs the desired action:
PC = (PC + 1) & ADDRMASK;
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.
