PlugManager: bug in my design fixed.
FatFileSystem: completed the todo that said trailing periods should be ignored.
Buffer: Added __Memcpy plug so that String.Trim method compiles so that FAT code will compile.
This is relatively stable but no to be considered complete. Currently supported:
1. Installing user/dev kit (as normal)
2. Creating C#/VB/F# projects (latter 2 untested)
3. Debugging a Cosmos project - see limitations list below.
Debugging limitations:
1. Breakpoints sometimes fail to be hit. Only known thing that may help is recompile everything.
2. Specific breakpoint failure case: If you try and place a breakpoint on or after a "while(true)" statement it is extremely unreliable.
Other limitations:
1. VMWare occasionally breaks. If you get "Internal error" messages, or if VS crashes (don't let Windows "fix" it) or if VMWare fails to load properly there is only one known & reliable solution: Re-run the VMWare installer and hit "Repair". No restart required. You won't lose your VMs or settings (AFAI can tell).
If it all breaks, feel free to rant at it ;)
Limitations :
- Bochs must be installed on the system. This is not checked as a prerequisite by the Builder.
- You will find a GuessForBochs Cosmos project under BlueSkeye user project folder that can be used to launch the Guess project under Bochs.
- You may have to fix manually the path for the following properties in Cosmos.bxrc file copied to the CosmosForBochs\Bin\Debug folder
* romimage
* vgaromimage
- The Cosmos project UI is not yet Bochs aware. If you do not use the GuessForBochs project you must manually edit your Cosmos project file to modify the following property in both the Debug and Release property group from the project file :
<Launch>Bochs</Launch>
You must also add the following properties in both the Debug and Release property group from the project file :
<BochsConfig>Cosmos.bxrc</BochsConfig>
<Bochs_Deployment>ISO</Bochs_Deployment>
<Bochs_Launch>Bochs</Bochs_Launch>
<Bochs_DebugEnabled>True</Bochs_DebugEnabled>
<Bochs_DebugMode>Source</Bochs_DebugMode>
<Bochs_IgnoreDebugStubAttribute />
<Bochs_VMwareEdition>Player</Bochs_VMwareEdition>
<Bochs_OutputPath>bin\Debug\</Bochs_OutputPath>
<Bochs_Framework>MicrosoftNET</Bochs_Framework>
<Bochs_UseInternalAssembler>False</Bochs_UseInternalAssembler>
<Bochs_TraceAssemblies />
<Bochs_EnableGDB>False</Bochs_EnableGDB>
<Bochs_StartCosmosGDB>false</Bochs_StartCosmosGDB>
<Bochs_Name>GuessForBochs</Bochs_Name>
<Bochs_Description>Use Bochs emulator to deploy and debug.</Bochs_Description>
<Bochs_VisualStudioDebugPort>Pipe: Cosmos\Serial</Bochs_VisualStudioDebugPort>
<Bochs_PxeInterface>192.168.43.1</Bochs_PxeInterface>
