a BSP (c4xsim) supporting the simulator included with gdb. This port
was done by Joel Sherrill and Jennifer Averett of OAR Corporation.
Also included with this port is a space/time optimization to eliminate
FP context switch management on CPUs without hardware or software FP.
An issue with this port was that sizeof(unsigned32) = sizeof(unsigned8)
on this CPU. This required addressing alignment checks and assumptions
as well as fixing code that assumed sizeof(unsigned32) == 4.
that is yet another multilib-related structual cleanup patch:
Changes:
* Make RTEMS_TEST_NO_PAUSE a tests/ subpackage specific option.
- Remove RTEMS_TEST_NO_PAUSE from custom/*.cfg, targopts.h and
cpuopts.h.
- Add autoconf macros RTEMS_*_RTEMS_TEST_NO_PAUSE
(aclocal/rtems-test-no-pause.m4).
- Add RTEMS_*_RTEMS_TEST_NO_PAUSE support to sptests/configure.ins
and tmtests/configure.in. These are the only subdirectories which
currently apply RTEMS_TEST_NO_PAUSE.
- Add autoconf-DEFS support to all test subpackages' configure.ins
below tests/. I.e. AC_DEFINES now get explicitly propagated as
preprocessor defines into Makefiles, cf. AM_CPPFLAGS in
tests/*/*.am, instead of using a global config-files.
- Remove NDEBUG from custom/*.cfg.
* AC_DEFINE POSIX_API, ITRON_API and MULTIPROCESSING in
exec/configure.in, only.
- All other sources now should relay on the values from cpuopts.h
and should not define them themselves.
- Several related changes to many configure.ins
* Bug-fixes to RTEMS_*_RTEMS_DEBUG macros (Actually workarounds to
quoting bugs in autoconf).
Notes:
* This patch is rather immature and only tested for a small subset
of BSPs (requires the tests to be enabled and therefore takes an
tremendous amount of disc space and time.)
* The patches to *cfg were generated by a script. Expect file
formating changes :)
<charles.gauthier@iit.nrc.ca>, and Darlene A. Stewart
<Darlene.Stewart@nrc.ca> to add support for a number of very
significant things:
+ BSPs for many variations on the Motorola MBX8xx board series
+ Cache Manager including initial support for m68040
and PowerPC
+ Rework of mpc8xx libcpu code so all mpc8xx CPUs now use
same code base.
+ Rework of eth_comm BSP to utiltize above.
John reports this works on the 821 and 860
that contains:
* Removes remaining (now illegal) references to $(SRC) from a couple of
Makefile.ams
* Removes duplicate AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS macro from c/configure.in
* Moves ENABLE_LIBCDIR into RTEMS_PROG_C[C|XX]_FOR_TARGET (hides LIBCDIR
from most configure scripts, i.e. LIBCDIR becomes less visible)
* Adds RTEMS_PROG_C[C|XX]_FOR_TARGET and RTEMS_CANONICALIZE_TOOLS to
libbsp/*/configure.ins (A minor bug in previous implementations, which
only has an impact when switching to GNU/Cygnus canonicalization)
* Cleans up several bogus comments.
* Removes MKLIB
* Switches the version number to 4.5.0 (for testing version number
handling)
I'd like to propose a change to RTEMS task variables that I think would
make them more useful. I think that it is early enough in their
existence to still make changes to their API.
1) Change type from `int' to `void *'.
2) Add extra argument to task_variable_add -- if non-NULL, a pointer to
a `destructor' function to be called when the task exits. This function
would be called with that task's value of the task variable as its
argument. In many cases, the `dtor' function could be `free'.
rtems_status_code rtems_task_variable_add (
rtems_id tid, void **ptr, void (*dtor)(void *));
rtems_status_code rtems_task_variable_delete (rtems_id tid, void **ptr);
This would be all we'd need to cleanly and efficiently support C++
per-thread exception information without dragging in all that POSIX API
stuff.
blocking sends when the queue is full. The SuperCore was enhanced
to support blocking on send. The existing POSIX API was debugged
and numerous test cases were added to psxmsgq01 by Jennifer Averett.
SuperCore enhancements and resulting modifications to other APIs
were done by Joel.
There is one significant point of interpretation for the POSIX API.
What happens to threads already blocked on a message queue when the
mode of that same message queue is changed from blocking to non-blocking?
We decided to unblock all waiting tasks with an EAGAIN error just
as if a non-blocking version of the same operation had returned
unsatisfied. This case is not discussed in the POSIX standard and
other implementations may have chosen differently.

of this testcase, sigtimedwait() did not return properly when a process
oriented signal was pending. The problem was reported by Wayne
Bullaughey <wayneb@cacdsp.com>.
which ontains all what was left over from the other patches (Primarily
minor configuration cleanups).
To apply:
patch -p1 < rtems-rc-19991203-9.diff
./bootstrap
which does minor cleanup for Makefile.ams below mptests, which only
removes some bogus comments from the Makefile.ams.
