Add a macro to annotate functions that act like scanf. Calling the
printf format macro as FORMAT was bad as can be seen now. Later we need
to rename it to FMT_PRINTF.
The PSTR is already define as a NOP for all supported platforms. It's
only needed for AVR so here we remove all the uses throughout the
codebase.
This was automated with a simple python script so it also converts
places which spans to multiple lines, removing the matching parentheses.
AVR-specific places were not changed.
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'.
Now that most places in the code use the ARRAY_SIZE macro instead of
coding it by hand, let's use some type safety in its definition. This is
a C++ version of similar macros used in kmod, Linux kernel and the
source of them, ccan.
A C++ version like this is used in V8 (the JS engine) and other open
source projects.
The main benefit of this version is that you get a compile error if you
pass in a variable that's not an array. For example,
Bla y[10];
Bla *y_ptr = y;
void foo(Bla x[])
{
// build error since x[] decay to a pointer in function
// parameter
for (int i = 0; i < ARRAY_SIZE(x); i++) {
...
}
// build error since y_ptr is not an array
for (int i = 0; i < ARRAY_SIZE(y_ptr); i++) {
...
}
}
I added the additional specialization to allow arrays of size 0.
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.
