we really need set_retries() high during init for nearly all i2c
devices, and as many are written against the generic device class
moving it to the Device class makes this a lot easier. It is a NOP on
SPI.
this allows a bus connection and device type tuple to be identifed as
a 24 bit number for use in user visible device IDs. Every bus
connection has a unique device ID.
By opening with O_CLOEXEC we make sure we don't leak the file descriptor
when we are exec'ing or calling out subprograms. Right now we currently
don't do it so there's no harm, but it's good practice in Linux to have
it.

We currently check examples are buildable with waf which doesn't need
the libraries to be specified in a make.inc file. Having the makefiles
there is misleading since people try to build and realize the build is
broken.
The definitions for each board haven't been reformatted here. They need a
little more thinking on how to format them in order to provide better
readability.
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.
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 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.
Minor changes to follow coding style and improve readability:
- sort headers
- move struct definition to compilation unit rather than header
- Add braces to if, for, etc
Volatile will provide protection to sequence re-ordering and guarantee
the variable is fetched from memory, but it won't provide the memory
barrier needed to ensure that no re-ordering (by either the compiler or
the CPU) will happen among other threads of execution
accessing the same variables.
For more info about this effect can be found on articles about
std::memory_order.
When using reserved(), the reserved memory cannot be read before it's
written, therefore we cannot update 'tail' until the caller of
reserved() is done writing.
To solve that, a method called 'commit()' was added so the caller can
inform that is done with the memory usage and is safe to update 'tail'.
The caller also has to inform the length that was actually written.
This solution was developed to work considering the usage context of
this class: 1 reader and 1 writer **only**.
Adds a method called `reserve()`, that will take a ByteBuffer::IoVec
array of at least two elements, and return the number of elements
filled out. 0 will be returned if `len` is over the total space of
the buffer; 1 will be returned if there's enough contiguous bytes in
the buffer; 2 will be returned if there are two non-contiguous blocks
of memory.
This method is suitable to be used with POSIX system calls such as
readv(), and is an optimization to not require temporary memory copies
while reading from a file descriptor.
Also modify the write() method to use reserve(), so that similar checks
are performed only in one place.
Modify ByteBuffer class to have a `peekiovec()` method, that takes in a
`struct IoVec` array (similar to `struct iovec` from POSIX), and a
number of bytes, and returns the number of elements from this array
that have been filled out. It is either 0 (buffer is empty), 1
(there's enough contiguous bytes to read that amount) or 2 (ring buffer
is wrapping around).
This enables using scatter-gather I/O (i.e. writev()), removing calls
to memcpy(). That's one call when no wrap-around is happening, and
two calls if it is.
Also, rewrite `ByteBuffer::peekbytes()` to use `peekiovec()`, so that
some of the checks performed by the former are not replicated in the
latter.
Many of our SPI and I2C sensors define the protocol of setting the most
significant bit of the register address in order to perform a read operation.
Thus, enable the use of a "read flag" that is ORed with the register's address.
Since this is an abstraction for general devices, it's a good idea to have zero
as the default value for that flag.
While at it, add documentation to read_registers().
