COM ports greater than COM9 on Windows can only be opened using
the DOS device UNC path \\.\.
Prefix the filename passed to CreateFile() with this prefix to
address this issue.
When the console is connected to a serial port or telnet sessions enable
speed setting, the bits being output are now paced a the desired speed.
Multi-line mux I/O is also correctly rate limited on all lines.
This should address the problems described in #545
Avoid Windows specific serial I/O behaviors which might not always have
hardware state reported to user level code. The TMXR layer code already
paces mux output so that reasonable behavior is observed.
The goal being to have output to physical serial ports complete without host
OS level buffering so that what is transmitted via the serial port has correct
timing with respect to I/O completion status within a simulator.
Linux, OS X, and various other *nix host platforms still need work here.
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 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().
- Avoid assignments of void * values. Cast all memory allocation return values to appropriate types.
- Add output to sim_log where missing in various places.
- Fixed issue with lost file positions after a restore for devices which leverage the UNIT_SEQ flag.
sim_serial.c
- Fixed error message printing when retry is merely needed
sim_tmxr.c
- Fixed parsing to properly recognize a listen port argument of "nnn;notelnet".
- Fixed buffer wrap output condition.
Added support for per line tcp listen ports.
Added support for per line outgoing tcp/telnet connections.
Removed DEV_NET from pdp11_dz and pdp11_vh emulators to allow proper restore of
