When PNG support is available, both .png and .bmp screenshots can be
generated based on the file extension specified by the user on the SCREENSHOT
command. If no extension is specified, then a PNG format screenshot will be
produced.
Reworked all priority adjustment code to leverage a new
sim_os_set_thread_priority API which is coded to use pthreads or OS
priority adjustment APIs as necessary.
The new RUN/GO command syntax supports a stop criteria.
There are two forms of stop criteria:
1) A normal breakpoint (which exists only until it is encountered)
2) A user specified output string is emitted by the simulated system.
Command syntax is:
RUN|GO {START-PC-VALUE} {UNTIL breakpoint|"output-string"}
Multiple rules with the same match string are processed in the order the EXPECT
commands are entered. NOEXPECT will remove all pending EXPECT rules which
have the match string provided on the NOEXPECT line.
Compilation under Cygwin with gcc 5.3.0 - missing const gave rise to
incompatible pointer type warning, and _eth_get_system_id for _WIN32
was included under a conditional for either _WIN32 or __CYGWIN__
and later redefined for !_WIN32
sim> SET XQ MAC=aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff{/bits}{>filespec}
where:
- all of the aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff values must be hex digits
- bits is the number of bits which are to be taken from the supplied
MAC aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff with legal values from 16 to 48 and a default
of 48 bits.
- filespec specifies a file which contains the MAC address to be used
and if it doesn't exist an appropriate generated address will be stored
in this file and a subsequent SET MAC invocation specifying the same
file will use the value stored in the file rather than generating a new
MAC.
As discussed in #317
The project migration process from VS2008 to VS2015 doesn't bring in
project/solution wide migration compile defines that are introduced in
Visual Studio Community's migration which adds _USING_V110_SDK71.
This affects source modules which explicitly don't inherit project wide
defines. The compile of pthread.c (in various projects) is such a case.
Multiple devices sharing the same pool of fixed and/or vector addresses
need to properly account for earlier devices that may have already consumed
available fixed addresses or vectors.
Recent enhancements to idle/infinite loop detection generalized handling
of detecting 'loop to self' cases. This was done without considering that
some instructions have side effects (i.e. change other state like the stack
pointer) and thus aren't merely loop to self cases.
This problem was reported in #315
Also changed how interrupts are generated. When a line changes state
and interrupt should be generated. Once this is read no further
notification should be posted. If no characters are written in a
record the DTC should transition to IDLE state.
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.
The processing of initialization commands improperly attempted to initialize
all controllers AND these attempts (for controllers beyond 0) referenced
beyond the bounds of the unit array. This problem was reported in issue #309
