This feature has been designed with the sometimes quite flakey direct
(parallel or serial port attached) bitbang programming adapters in
mind that were quite common about two decades ago.
With parallel ports vanishing from modern PCs almost completely, and
the advent of various USB-attached low-cost programming devices,
this class of programmers disappeared almost completely.
Furthermore, the fuse combinations that were covered by the feature
are no longer around on all recent AVR devices, so for an ever
increasing number of devices, safemode already became meaningless and
was turned off anyway.
With the prospective version 7.x release, it's a good point in time to
introduce a major change like this one.
With the split CMakeLists.txt infrastructure avrdude.conf
will be created in the build/src and not build folder. Hence,
fix its location in the install command.
The main CMakeLists.txt file in the project's root directory takes
care of the main project settings like project name and version,
handling the options, finding dependencies, etc.
The src/CMakeLists.txt handles options that are necessary to build
libavrdude library and avrdude binary.
* Find 'avrdude.conf' based on absolute path to executable
* Update coding style
* Update coding style
* Update 'src/doc/avrdude.texi' to reflect the new search method for 'avrdude.conf'
Since commit ed46f09c1ccd1351e003a200ba50e3e4778ac478 (Implement
tc[io]flush methods & deprecate broken purge_buffers methods.)
ftdi_usb_purge_buffers() routine is deprecated. Use HAVE_FTDI_TCIOFLUSH
macro to invoke the newly introduced ftdi_tcioflush() routine.
