According to PC-9801 Bible p. 50, divisor for PIT will become unsupported in some cases after having removed the fractional part. Replace 19200 value with 9600 which is supported by both 10 MHz and 8 MHz machines.
When gdb receives a fault, it converts it to "signal", and send "C"
command to server to transfer the signal it couldn't handle.
On ReactOS (and Windows ?) side, we tell KD API that we continue with an
error code, so the exception handler can be called.
This is useful when playing with gflags, especially +soe, with KDGDB.
Addendum fixes to ca370b49 (r52239) and a965ca6b (r52409).
- Fix the comments to explain what is really happening.
- Fix the boundary calculations in VidDisplayString() so that we can
correctly display a character in the very last column before going
to the next line, and fix similarly the vertical boundary calculation.
- Port the fixes to the ARM code.
- Import cmdcnst.h and vga.h headers from the 'vga_new' VGA Miniport Driver,
that contain definitions related to VGA registers as well as command-stream
functionality.
- Replace a bunch of hardcoded values by their corresponding defintions.
- Replace "Captain-Obvious" comments in VgaIsPresent() with actual
explanations from the corresponding function in 'vga_new'.
- Simplify the VgaInterpretCmdStream() function, based on the
corresponding one from 'vga_new'.
- Use concise comments in the 'AT_Initialization' command stream definition.
- Import the 'VGA_640x480' initialization command stream from 'vga_new'
and use it as the full VGA initialization stream whenever the HAL
does not handle the VGA display (HalResetDisplay() returning FALSE).
Otherwise we just use the 'AT_Initialization' command stream that
performs minimal initialization.
- Remove unused AT_Initialization and other declarations from ARM build.
- VgaIsPresent(): Re-select the memory mode register before playing
around with the sequencer flag. Otherwise the VGA may not be detected
correctly from time to time.
- VidInitialize(): Simplify the initialization loop, reset AddressSpace
to its "default" value of 1 when calling HalFindBusAddressTranslation()
on 'NullAddress'.
There is no need to compile our DLLs as shared libraries since we are
managing symbols exports and imports through spec files.
On my system, this reduces the configure-time by a factor of two.
- Allow the driver to be unloaded, as on Windows.
- Use a static fast IO dispatch table, instead of allocating one and
risking any potential memory allocation failure.
- Update the file header.
To check that these changes are correct, checkout in a directory (let's call it "ros_svn") the /trunk/reactos/ of our read-only SVN repo r76032 and in /trunk/reactos/modules/, the rosapps, rostests and wallpapers.
In a second directory (let's call it "ros_git"), clone the corresponding Git-converted ReactOS directory.
Before applying this patch (and the previous one that added back the empty directories), you should see additional files in ros_git that are not in ros_svn, corresponding to these files I'm deleting here (plus some .gitignore files),
and you should also see additional files in ros_svn that do not appear in ros_git: these are the empty directories I've restored in my previous patch.
Now, after the application of both the previous patch that restores the empty directories (and deletes the .gitignore files), and this patch that removes the ghost files, you should only see that the only differences
between ros_git and ros_svn are the extra .keep files in the empty directories, and that's all!
Command-line for the tests:
diff --strip-trailing-cr -r ros_svn ros_git > diff_svn2git.txt
"-r" means recursive, and "--strip-trailing-cr" ignores the CR-LF vs. LF (or CR) EOLs.
(*): by "ghost" old(*) files I understand files that existed previously in the far past, that then were deleted long ago in SVN, and that popped out back during the Git migration.
