This commit replaces fixed-string buffers in PROGRAMMER, AVRPART and AVRMEM
that are dealt with by the parser and grammar. Now, string assignments are
always to const char *, ie, these are read-only strings with arbitrary
length.
config_gram.y now only needs to consider one type of string assignment.
This commit also
- Replaces the simple linear-search cache_string() function with faster
hashed cache_string(). Either way, the returned value is likely to be
shared, so should never be free()'d.
- Duplicates hvupdi_support list in pgm_dup() and frees it in pgm_free()
- Adds const qualifier to some function args in avrpart.c and pgm.c
- Hardens some functions against being called with NULL pointers
- Ensures _new() and _dup() functions for parts, programmers and memory
return a suitable memory. Out of memory triggers exit in one of three
functions, cfg_malloc(), cfg_realloc() and cfg_strdup(); there is
rarely anything useful that AVRDUDE or, for that matter, any
application compiled against libavrdude can do once you run out of
memory as AVRDUDE/libavrdude rely heavily on allocation of memory.
The paged read in pickit2.c has two errors:
- It drops load extended address commands unless a paged read happens at a
64k byte boundary; this is invalid when reading files with holes
- It wrongly assumed that flash memory is byte addressed
The fix is to carry out a load extended address command, if needed, at the
beginning of each paged flash read with the correct word address. Although the
pickit2_paged_load() has independent parameters page_size, addr and n_bytes,
AVRDUDE only ever calls paged read/write functions with page_size and n_bytes
both set to mem->page_size and addr aligned with a page boundary. Therefore, it
is sufficient to set the load extended address at the beginning of each page
read.
