-Check pointer before writing to it. It allows application to ask
only some of the stagger values.
-Change type of data_amount in get_stagger_estimate_to_address to be
uint16_t.
Add getsockopt options NSAPI_LATENCY and NSAPI_STAGGER to read
network specific timing constraints from socket.
-NS_LATENCY returns estimated latency to given address.
-NSAPI_STAGGER returns estimated initial delay that application
should wait before transmitting data to network.
Application can use the new options to avoid network congestion by
adjusting transmission delays and retry timeouts.
set_ip_address API can be used to set a static IPv4 address or IPv6 link-local
address to network stack.
This is needed for example in cellular use cases where device gets multiple IP
addresses from cellular context.
Issue: The problem is that there is a race condition introduced in that the LWIP thread is relying on the
interface as it is taken down by a application thread while calling disconnect.
In disconnect api called from application context, whd_emac_wifi_link_state_changed() will refer to netif interface
structure in its callback api netif_link_irq(netif). This netif will be cleared by remove_etherent_interface().
whd_emac_wifi_link_state_changed will post message to tcpip_thread. tcpip_thread will process the message and
call the callback api netif_link_irq(netif)
Calling sequence is whd_emac_wifi_link_state_changed -> remove_etherent_interface(). Hence there is a timing issue
that netif might be cleared first before tcpip thread process the message netif_link_irq(netif)
Fix: remove_etherent_interface() will post message to tcpip thread and tcpip thread process the message delete_interface()
which will actually remove the inferface from the netif_list.
Calling sequence is whd_emac_wifi_link_state_changed() message post -> remove_etherent_interface() message post.
message processing order netif_link_irq(netif) -> delete_interface().
Since both the processing is handled in single thread, processing of message is handled sequentially.
* Add optimised constexpr default constructor. Default construction
was previously by a heavyweight defaulted `nsapi_addr_t` parameter.
* Remove deprecated resolving constructor.
* Take `nsapi_addr_t` inputs by constant reference rather than value.
* Inline the trivial getters and setters.
* Use `unique_ptr` to manage the text buffer.
* Make `operator bool` explicit.
* Optimise some methods.
* Update to C++11 style (default initialisers, nullptr etc)
* Optimise clearing by adding `nullptr` overload. This overload means
`Callback(NULL)` or `Callback(0)` will no longer work; users must
use `Callback(nullptr)` or `Callback()`.
* Optimise clearing by not clearing storage - increases code size of
comparison, but that is extremely rare.
* Reduce ROM used by trivial functors - share copy/destroy code.
* Config option to force trivial functors - major ROM saving by
eliminating the "operations" table.
* Config option to eliminate comparison altogether - minor ROM saving by
eliminating zero padding.
* Conform more to `std::function` API.
Use tag dispatch to better handle both NetworkInterface and NetworkStack
pointers.
The previous design was intended to avoid ambiguities when presented
with a scenario like
class MyDevice : public NetworkInterface, public NetworkStack {
};
TCPSocket(&MyDevice);
// Need NetworkStack *: use NetworkInterface::get_stack or
// cast to NetworkStack?
But the previous solution didn't actually work as intended. The overload
pair
nsapi_create_stack(NetworkStack *);
// versus
template <class IF>
nsapi_create_stack(IF *);
would only select the first form if passed an exact match -
`NetworkStack *`. If passed a derived class pointer, like `MyDevice *`,
it would select the template.
This meant that an ambiguity for MyDevice was at least avoided, but
in the wrong direction, potentially increasing code size.
But in other cases, the system just didn't work at all - you couldn't
pass a `MyStack *` pointer, unless you cast it to `NetworkStack *`.
Quite a few bits of test code do this.
Add a small bit of tag dispatch to prioritise the cast whenever the
supplied pointer is convertible to `NetworkStack *`.
