- Transfer encoding rewritten to handle negative numbers properly and fix scaling.
- Change the "no receive method" to be just a warning as it is unwise rather than
being wrong.
Emesary MP bridge fixes from Nikolai
OutgoingBridge:
- When transmitting queue, make sure transmitted
messages cannot remain in the queue when not completely emptied, and
thus be sent again, and eventually fill up the queue.
- Also allow smaller messages to sent even though there was not room for
a larger message (the removal of the 'break' command).
- To prevent coding the same message again with the 'break' removed,
store an already coded string that was rejected due to too little room
inside the message so when there is room for it, it was coded only
once.
- Stop recalculating MessageExpiryTime when there is no
room for a notification. If it has asked to expire after expire time,
let it expire.
IncomingBridge:
- Make sure listeners on emesary[x] properties are
removed when a mp aircraft is invalid, otherwise a hidden bridge will
sit in background and process same notifications a new bridge is
already processing.
- Change order of setting IncomingMessageIndex to ease
debugging in reciever.
- Since a bridge class can handle multiple emesary
properties on same aircraft, use a vector per aircraft to store the
bridge instances in, to make sure Remove can be called on all
instances listening to same aircraft.
The partition processor is a simple class that allows lists of data to be processed in chunks per invocation. It is designed to minimise per frame processing whilst keeping the code simple and the performance acceptable.
test code (use with F-14):
var pptest = func{
var xx= frame_utils.PartitionProcessor.new("TEST", 6);
var obj = {}; # just for testing
for (ii=0;ii<5;ii+=1) {
xx.process(obj, awg_9.tgts_list,
func(pp, obj, data){
print("init");
obj.designated = -1;
obj.search = "Nimitz";
obj.completed = 0;
}
,
func(pp, obj, u){
printf("%-5d : %s",pp.data_index, u.Callsign.getValue());
if (u.Callsign.getValue() == obj.search)
obj.designated = pp.data_index;
return 1;
},
func(pp, obj, data)
{
obj.completed = 1;
printf("Completed: %s = %d\n", obj.search, obj.designated);
}
);
if (obj.completed)
break;
}
if (!obj.completed)
print("partial list processed");
}
pptest();
Previously tutorials were generated from all checklists.
Now <auto-tutorial>false</auto-tutorial> can be set at
any level of the checklist heirarchy to disable generation
of tutorials for a given checklist, group, or for all
checklists.
This tests
* basic functions of register/degregister
* ensures that transmit/receive work correctly
* Transfer encoding methods (byte, double, norm, int) work properly
This is a normal transmitter than doesn't act synchronously and instead queues messages for future processing.
Can be useful to implement thread safe receive/transmit logic where a sub thread is requiring property changes that can be sent to a queued transmitter that is then processed in the main thread.
Make listeners for MP properties only fire when properties changes.
Enherit the notification before propagating to avoid StartMessageIndex being shared and thereby messages can get held back.
Some improvements to logging.
Control the order in which fgdata/Nasal/*.nas files are loaded
on startup.
Previously all the files were loaded in order based on filename.
This was problematic for aaa.nas which might want to call
props.getNode(), and generally resolved by using
_setlistener("/sim/signals/nasal-dir-initialized")
This change allows us to configure a list of Nasal files that are
loaded first on startup - loadpriority.xml.
Fix bug https://sourceforge.net/p/flightgear/codetickets/2219/
Changes to logging mean than setlistener breaks when invoked via
call(), which occurs in the Warthog Nasal scripting. The problem is
that call() forces caller() to return nil, which the setlistener()
debug code did not check for.
When more than one message type being transmitted on the bridge only one of the types would be reliably received. Bug caused because the message index is per notification type (on MP bridge outgoing) but was being treated as per incoming bridge (rather than notification).
Implement the Nearest Airports PFD softkey, displaying a scrollable
list of the closest 25 airports within 200nm.
Also fix a couple of minor bugs and add self-checking to the
GroupElement
Previously the FG1000 and MFD assumed that all notifications received
via Emesary had a Device_Id field. This is true for
notifications.PFDEventNotification.DefaultType but not for other
messages - e.g. those generated by the AN SPN 46 system on the
carrier.
The effect of this was that when Nimitz was loaded, the FG1000 stopped
working with various errors.
This fix checks the notification type before the Device_Id.
The method horizon() returns the distance to the horizon, along earth
surface, starting from current location. The method
greatcircle_distance_to(A,B) returns the shortest distance to a great
circle passing by A and B, along earth surface and from current location.
