rather out of date.. it even suggested that it was ppp-2.1.1 still :-)
I've selected some bits from the README files and pre-pended it so that
at least reading it tells you _something_ about the recent history.
Most of this is cleaning up, but there are some functional changes,
doc/comment improvements, error checking, gcc -Wall cleanups. Input buffer
flushing is enabled now, although I'm still not quite certain it's right.
Included <sys/vnode.h> and its prerequisite <sys/proc.h>, and cleaned
up includes. The vop_t changes made the non-inclusion of vnode.h
fatal instead of just sloppy.
i386_bitops.h:
Changed `extern inline' to `static inline'. `extern inline' is a
Linuxism that stops things from compiling without -O. Fixed
idempotency identifier.
Misc:
Added prototypes. Staticized some functions so that prototypes are
unnecessary. Added casts. Cleaned up includes.
it 1138 times (:-() in casts and a few more times in declarations.
This change is null for the i386.
The type has to be `typedef int vop_t(void *)' and not `typedef
int vop_t()' because `gcc -Wstrict-prototypes' warns about the
latter. Since vnode op functions are called with args of different
(struct pointer) types, neither of these function types is any use
for type checking of the arg, so it would be preferable not to use
the complete function type, especially since using the complete
type requires adding 1138 casts to avoid compiler warnings and
another 40+ casts to reverse the function pointer conversions before
calling the functions.
Handle kdc registration correctly. Catch ISA devices that use eisa
registration and output probe information accordingly.
lsdev will have to be updated to handle EISA devices correctly.
aic7770.c:
Set kdc_isa0 as the parent for 284X cards since its a VL card.
o Caution against use of `W' options in label/partition screens (dangerous!)
o Make various types of debugging dreck conditionalize on DEBUG flag
o Make a fake /var/db/mountdbtab file so new system doesn't complain
o Apply uniform permissions to entire /usr/X11R6 tree.
o Set erase character to ^H for all interactive commands.
o Don't panic if user exits upgrade shell, reboot.
o Document dangers of `W' options in help screens also.
Should anybody out there wonder about this vendetta against global
variables, it is basically to make it more visible what our interfaces
in the kernel really are.
I'm almost convinced we should have a
#define PUBLIC /* public interface */
and use it in the #includes...
style of error reporting (i prefer gcc style to be consistent with the
compiler) is left, plus a minor nit he's most likely been overlooking.
There are still problems with bootstrapping, and you should expect
troubles when linting libc...
