The current implementation of semihost_disabledebug() hangs when used
with mbed interface firwmare revision 21164, the first version which
added support for this semihost call. I encountered this hang when
running a Release build on my mbed-LPC1768 board as the RTOS attempted
to disable the debugger before the idle thread put the CPU to sleep.
The 21164 interface firmware expects that R1 points to a valid argument
block but the current implementation passes in NULL. The fix was to
pass in a dummy block which is ignored by the newer 141212 revision of
the firmware and allows the 21164 version to proceeed without halting
the CPU until a manual reset.
Before this fix semihost_disabledebug() did work with the latest
mbed interface firmware revision 141212 but I rarely use this revision
of the interface firmware due to the instability issues I have
encountered in the past with its CDC and LocalFileSystem functionality.
With this proposed fix, the code now works with both the 21164 and
141212 revisions of the mbed interface firmware on the mbed-LPC1768.
This patch fixes the declaration of the DIR type and related functions
so that they can be called from C code. This is necessary when enabling
functionality that uses the filesystem in mbed TLS.
Should follow same path as FileHandle, although this is less used
and there is currently no route to introduce a hook for a customized
DirHandle in retarget.
As identified by @hasnainvirk, @kjbracey-arm, the FileHandle and
FileBase serve two separate functions and their integration is
limiting for certain use cases.
FileLike is actually the redundant class here, but the multiple
inheritance it provides is used as a hack by the retargeting code
to get at the FileHandle implementation bound to the FileBase name.
It may make more sense for the FileBase to inherit from FileHandle,
(with perhaps a different name), but rather than explore the
possibility, this will just restore the previous hierarchy.
- Fixing code formatting errors with astyle tool.
- Replaced use of TOOLCHAIN_xxx macros with compiler emitted macros.
- Added const to BlockDevice::get_xxx_size() member functions.
- Added documentation for FAT filesystem thread support.
- Added documentation for fat_filesystem_set_errno().
- Added documentation clarifying the reasons for errno/stat symbol definitions in retarget.h.
- Removed FAT filesystem from mbed 2 testing.
- Fixed FATMisc.h Copyright (c) 2016 year to 2017 as its a new file.
- Removed #ifndef NDEBUG from HeapBlockDevice.cpp.
- Removed unnecessary todo comment in retarget.cpp.
- renaming FATFileSystemSetErrno() fat_file_system_set_errno.
- changing FATFileSystem::format() to be mount fs internally in function, rather than expecting fs to be mounted.
- requested const char *filename change.
The attach function is used several other places to indicate
registration for interrupts. This differs significantly to its use in
the Callback class. Additionally, the attach function is unnecessary
given that simple assignment works just as well.
MBED_CONF_PLATFORM_STDIO_CONVERT_NEWLINES was not used in mbed_error_vfprintf causing wrong behavior when the option was selected (no new line is some terminals like putty).
Add sleep/deepsleep functions to platform layer which are replacing HAL
functions with the same name, rename existing symbols in HAL layer
to hal_sleep/hal_deepsleep. This way sleep functions
are always available, even if target doesn't implement them, which makes
the code using sleep clearer. It also enables us to make decision on in
which builds (debug/release) the sleep will be enabled.
Adopting relaxed type-deduction in bound functions better aligns with
the same overloads for member functions, and provides an alternative
solution for the void pointer cast issue, which removes a large amount
of cruft.
The type deduction for the callback constructors was to strict and
prevented implicit casts for the context pointer stored internally.
As noted by @pan-, relaxing the contraints on the templated
parameters allows C++ to correctly infer implicit casts such as
conversions between child and parent classes when inheritance is
involved.
As an additional benefit, this may help the user experience by
defering invalid type errors to when the types are expanded,
limiting the number of error messages presented to users.
