This dirctory contains a set of Visual Studio 2008 build projects for the
|
|
current simh code base. When used (with Visual Studio Express 2008 or
|
|
Visual Studio Express 2010) it populates a directory tree under the BIN
|
|
directory of the Simh distribution for temporary build files and produces
|
|
resulting executables in the BIN/NT/Win32-Debug or BIN/NT/Win32-Release
|
|
directories (depending on whether you target a Debug or Release build).
|
|
|
|
The Visual Studio Projects expect that a winpcap developer pack and the
|
|
Posix threads for windows package are available in a directory parallel
|
|
to the simh directory.
|
|
|
|
For Example, the directory structure should look like:
|
|
|
|
.../simh/simhv38-2-rc1/VAX/vax_cpu.c
|
|
.../simh/simhv38-2-rc1/scp.c
|
|
.../simh/simhv38-2-rc1/Visual Studio Projects/simh.sln
|
|
.../simh/simhv38-2-rc1/Visual Studio Projects/VAX.vcproj
|
|
.../simh/simhv38-2-rc1/BIN/Nt/Win32-Release/vax.exe
|
|
.../simh/windows-build/pthreads/pthread.h
|
|
.../simh/windows-build/winpcap/WpdPack/Include/pcap.h
|
|

Network devices are capable of using pthreads to enhance their performance.
|
|
To realize these benefits, you must build the desire simulator with
|
|
USE_READER_THREAD defined. The relevant simulators which have network
|
|
support are VAX, VAX780 and PDP11.
|
|
|
|
Additionally, simulators which contain devices which use the asynchronous
|
|
APIs in sim_disk.c and sim_tape.c can also achieve greater performance by
|
|
leveraging pthreads to perform blocking I/O in separate threads. Currently
|
|
the simulators which have such devices are VAX, VAX780 and PDP11. To
|
|
achieve these benefits the simulators must be built with SIM_ASYNCH_IO
|
|
defined.
|
|
|
|
The project files in this directory build these simulators with support for
|
|
both network and asynchronous I/O.
