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 can't currently happen since the rtVAX1000 doesn't include the
QVSS video device. It probably should contain this device since VAXELN
was recently recovered and one of the features VAXELN provided was
a way for 'old' VAXStation hardware to be repurposed into X-Window
terminals.
Prior logic attempted to load the desired file from the current default directory and if that failed wrote the in memory boot code image to the desired file and then retried the desired load..
A user can still explicitly load a ROM image with a "LOAD -R romfile.bin" command prior to a BOOT attempt if they want to test or otherwise run with a different ROM.
- Added validation checks in auto_config to reject enabled devices which aren't Q22 capable on Q22 platforms.
- Changed pdp11_cr device to be default disabled in the PDP11 simulator
