Sometimes (like in DataFlash) the size of the ring buffer will be
determined in run time and the object can have size zero until proper
initialization. When this was the case, an underflow in ::get_size would
mess with the initializing algorithm.
Another issue was that the 'new' operator could fail what was not being
handled. Now, we only set the size member after we are sure 'new'
successfully allocated memory.
Constructor allocate '_samples' but there was no destructor to
deallocate it. Also, initializes '_gain' to silence CID 9144 although
'_gain' wasn't being used uninitialized because of ::init().
CID 91424
- causes immediate timeout so all samples were dropped
- now the timeout is current and respects the time-since-last-comms/packet so we can ignore stale packets
- reorder and document members.
- remove tentative of vertical alignement
- like was done for accumulated values, move the calibration
values to a struct
This converts MS56XX to use the thread started by SPI/I2C instead of
using the timer thread. This also fixes a possible starvation of the
main thread:
1) INS driver registers itself to be sampled on timer thread
2) MS56XX registers itself to be sampled on timer thread
3) Main thread waits for a sample from INS with
ins.wait_for_sample()
4) timer thread is waiting on update from MS56XX and consequently
the main thread is waiting on an I2C/SPI transfer
Besides this starvation there's another one due to reuse of the timer
lock in order to pump values from the timer thread to the main thread. A
call to the update() method when we have a sample available would need
to wait on any other driver holding the timer lock.
Now there's a lock just to pass the new values from the bus thread to
the main thread with a very tiny critical region, not waiting on any
bus transfers and/or syscalls.
We aren't going to use all the poller infra for now and we need it's
behavior a little bit different for what we are going to use:
- Do not use any "fair" time for each ready fd since we don't want
to set a timeout
- Allow to set the fd on Pollable after constructing it since we are
likely to embed Pollable inside other structs and just later be
able to open an fd.
- Let caller use the epoll flags directly - this is not in AP_HAL,
so there's no need to abstract them
Add system's polling infrastructure to be notified whenever a
file descriptor is ready to be read from or written to.
Adds a few classes:
* Poller, as an interface to epoll()
* Pollable, as an interface to a file descriptor
Replace the previous not-implemented interface with a set of new methods
that can be resonably implemented:
- register_periodic_callback() now receives a functor returning bool
to easily allow "oneshot" timers
- adjust_periodic_callback() allows the caller to change the timer
for a specific handle. This way drivers like MS5611 can adjust the
timer depending on its state machine: the time to sample
temperature is smaller than the time to get a pressure sample
- add unregister_callback(): since we have an opaque pointer, we
can't tell the user to just delete it in order to unregister the
callback

This centralized private header encourages centralizing things on

AP_HAL_Linux to include what is used.
Make some member variables protected to follow what we do in other
places (and there's no reason to be private).
Move defines to .cpp to reduce their visibility.
This centralized namespace header encourages centralizing things on

While at it, do some whitespace cleanups and minor changes to adhere to
coding style.
This is the only user of ADS7844 - we don't have it actually used in our
boards. Remove the example since we can later add a more generic one or
at least one that reuses a driver from our boards.
This method is needed when we want to transfer both tx and rx at the
same time, as opposed to common cases for sensors in which they are like
in the I2C interface: half-duplex.
This is selectable by a define and is never changed. Just remove
everything referencing it: we can come up with a better solution if it
is actually used later.
There's little point in having the Linux::AnalogIn just to implement and
empty interface. All implementations inside AP_HAL_Linux are already
inheriting directly from AP_HAL, so just remove it.
In a case ArduPilot is launched as a background process without
detaching with *nohup* like this ./arduplane -C /dev/ttyAMA0 ConsoleDevice
is created and an attempt to read from it is made. This yields in a stopped
process. This is an endeavour to overcome this problem.
This should fix CID 91386.
Before removing the 'if', I checked the log to confirm that both branch
didn't end-up being equal by mistake in some commit. But it looks like
the file was added in the project this way.
We should actually modify this function to scale back the z axis in order to avoid breaching the vertical fence. Currently breaching the vertical fence is handled within the position controller which is inconsistent.
