The checks used to be in update.c, but as they are related to
the intended file operation, they are better placed in fileio.c.
The checks affected are to refuse 'm' on output (file write),
and 'd', 'h', 'o', and 'b' formats on input (file read).
The file format specifiers 'h', 'd', 'o', and 'b' are only valid for
outputting data. Reject them with a proper error message when
attempting to use them for input.
Some 90% of the space of AVRPART and some 50% of PROGRAMMER is occupied by a
4 kB array config_file[] that contains the configuration file name. In
preparation of developer options that output a raw dump of the part
descriptions, this commit changes the config_file components from a large
array, which is duplicated in each part and programmer description, to a
cached string for each config file allowing for smaller raw dumps.
This commit also changes the config file name to its realpath(), eg, shortens
unwarranted `/bin/../etc/` file name components. It also changes the global
variable names `infile` and `fileno` to cfg_infile and cfg_fileno for an ever
so slight improvement of code clarity.
Usbtiny has a protocol or firmware problem that prevents it from reading
flash above 64 kB in page mode (used by -U flash:r:... and -U flash✌️...).
This commit fixes that problem by falling back on byte access for flash paged
reads above 64k. It also issues the correct load extended address command for
parts with more than 128 kB flash thus extending support to ATmega2560 et al.
Some C libraries assign true to isalpha(0xff), isdigit(0xff) or
ispunct(0xff), which means that the Operating System terminal sees a
character 0xff which it may not have a useful display character for.
This commit only outputs printable ASCII characters for an AVRDUDE
terminal dump reducing the risk of the OS terminal not being able
to print the character properly.
Error messages are written to stderr whilst normal terminal output is stdout.
When redirecting output to pipelines or files these two streams can get
separated as they are buffered separately. To avoid this, term.c now provides
a function terminal_message() that works just like avrdude_message() but
flushes stderr and stdout before printing on stderr, and it flushes stderr
afterwards.
This commit replaces all avrdude_message() calls except for progress report
with terminal_message() to ensure stdout and stderr streams keep together.
This enables the new quell terminal command to switch on and off progress
reports to the terminal. The code for this was moved from main.c to term.c.
It can be used as library call for other frontends than main.c
Sets the quell_progress global variable that can be, and is, consulted by
programmers.
Setting quell_progress to a positive number also switches off progress
bars. It is currently not possible to switch on progress bars again: that
is enabled in main.c once at the start of AVRDUDE.
That code in main should move to avr.c to enable report_update() to consult
quell_progress directly. Will do at another time when touching main.c and
avr.c. smr
The code no longer accepts valid mantissa-only doubles that are integer
rejects, eg, 078 or ULL overflows. These are most likely input errors by
the user: 8 is not an octal digit, they might have typed 17 hex digits,
not 16. It's just too hard to explain that 0xffffFFFFffffFFFFf writes
0x4430000000000000, which is the correct double representation of the
valid 17-digit hex mantissa that strtod() is perfectly happy to accept.
