- Fix comma separator code segmentation fault: "ndigit - 3" can become a
very large unsigned number for ndigit < 3.
- dir_cmd: Allocate WildName from heap to reduce stack pressure.
- Github CI/CD: Remnant symlink issue reappeared, afflicting the
makefile-based build. For better or worse, the workaround is now
dependent on specific Python versions that must be removed, unlinked
and any remnant symlinks that HomeBrew decided it needed to install in
/usr/local/bin. The Python upgrade is triggered by the sdl2_ttf
package.
According to the Github image maintainers, this is an old, known issue
in macOS images that originates inside of Homebrew.
Issue #294: "apple silicon build problem(s?)": If the "--flavor/-f" flag
is not specified on the command line, then complain loudly, print help
and exit. The script used to default to "Unix Makefiles".
Updates:
- Add missing "-DHAVE_LIBPNG" compiler command line define when the PNG
library is detected/present for screen capture support.
- Add "clang64" to the list of MinGW64 platforms for which the
.travis/deps.sh script can install build dependencies.
- Add PThread4W_FOUND to the condition that sets async I/O for Win32
when using vcpkg for build dependencies.
- Add vs2022-x64, vs2019-x64 and vs2017-x64 build environments to
build 64-bit Windows executables.
- Use simulator AIO only where needed by the simulator (i.e., the
simulator calls/uses AIO_CHECK_EVENT in sim_instr())
- Add "USES_AIO" flag to add_simulator() to mark a simulator that
acutally uses asynchronous I/O.
- Build "_aio" SIMH core library variants that have AIO turned on,
link with the "_aio" variant when a simulator sets USES_AIO.
- Emit a warning message when WITH_ASYNC is False (CMake configuration
option) to notify the user/developer that some functionality will be
crippled.
Affected simulator builds: 3b2 family, PDP-6, PDP-11, VAX family,
IMLAC and TT2500. The makefile and cmake/generate.py also updated
to remain in sync with CMake.
N.B.: Simulators still link with the underlying platform's threading
library. SEL32 requires pthreads or equivalent threading library,
independent of AIO.
- cmake/cmake-builder.sh
- New "--no-aio" flag: Build simulators without async I/O.
- New "--no-aio-intrinsics" flag: Don't build async I/O using compiler
compare-exchange, atomic load intrinsics.
- cmake/cmake-builder.ps1
- New "-noaio" flag: Build simulators without async I/O.
- New "-noaiointrinsics" flag: Don't build async I/O using compiler
compare-exchange, atomic load intrinsics.
CMake 3.28.1 INTERFACE_LINK_LIBRARIES behavior change: The file name
must now be an absolute path. Relative paths no longer accepted.
Internally, SIMH enforces this if CMAKE_VERSION >= 3.19, when REAL_PATH
was first implemented.
* CMake build infrastructure
The squashed commit that builds and packages releases for the SIMH
simulator suite with CMake, version 3.14 or newer.
See README-CMake.md for documentation.
This avoids infecting SIMH with the GPL license, since readline,
very surprisingly, is GPL rather than LGPL.
The replacement package is "editline", which has a useable license.
