Remove the checks for HAL_CPU_CLASS > HAL_CPU_CLASS_16 and
HAL_CPU_CLASS >= HAL_CPU_CLASS_75. Corresponding dead code will be
removed on separate commits.
Remove unnecessary includes, in particular the includes for specific
boards. The list of libraries for 'polygon' example was updated so that
the example compiles again.
Instead of requiring every program to specify the HAL related modules,
let the build system do it (in practice everything we compiled depended
on HAL anyway). This allow including only the necessary files in the
compilation.
The switching between different AP_HAL was happening by giving different
definitions of AP_HAL_BOARD_DRIVER, and the programs would use it to
instantiate.
A program or library code would have to explicitly include (and depend)
on the concrete implementation of the HAL, even when using it only via
interface.
The proposed change move this dependency to be link time. There is a
AP_HAL::get_HAL() function that is used by the client code. Each
implementation of HAL provides its own definition of this function,
returning the appropriate concrete instance.
Since this replaces the job of AP_HAL_BOARD_DRIVER, the definition was
removed.
The static variables for PX4 and VRBRAIN were named differently to avoid
shadowing the extern symbol 'hal'.
This commit changes the way libraries headers are included in source files:
- If the header is in the same directory the source belongs to, so the
notation '#include ""' is used with the path relative to the directory
containing the source.
- If the header is outside the directory containing the source, then we use
the notation '#include <>' with the path relative to libraries folder.
Some of the advantages of such approach:
- Only one search path for libraries headers.
- OSs like Windows may have a better lookup time.
- Allows use of hardware floating point on the Cortex-M4.
- Added "f" suffix to floating point literals.
- Call floating point versions of stdlib math functions.
* I mostly went through with grep and added an #include <AP_Param.h> below
every #include <AP_Common.h>. Not all of these example sketches might
strictly need AP_Param.
these were moved to the main sketches to allow for compile time
selection of MAVLink 0.9 vs 1.0. We no longer support 0.9, so we can
move it back, which simplifies some test sketches
