Port forwarding allows the emulator to host servers that can be
accessed from outside the virtual network.
The code for parsing the preference option "redir" is adapted from
qemu code. The rest was already implemented.
This patch fixes one lingering problem with the 64-bit clipboard code; the way it was designed, the Mac clipboard was being cleared every time a single item was being requested by GetScrap, causing clipboards with multiple items to be unceremoniously whittled down to one. On the other hand, a similar issue was causing some items to get duplicated on the host pasteboard. This patch fixes the issue by making conversion between the host pasteboard and the Mac clipboard a singular operation; when the pasteboard data changes on the host side, it is all converted and sent to the Mac pasteboard at once, and similarly, all Mac clipboard data is sent to the host pasteboard in one operation. Also, data from the host side is copied to the Mac clipboard only if it has changed since the last check, which should improve performance as conversions will not be done over and over every time the Mac side checks whether the scrap has changed.
In addition, I've added a rudimentary PICT converter. It's rudimentary at the moment, only going in one direction, converting to PICT and not from PICT, and currently it always rasterizes the source image and creates a PICT containing bitmap data. However, it's a start, and it should solve Ronald's issue with copying images from OS X to Mac OS. In the future, more could possibly be added. I've put the new PICT code in the main source directory instead of in the MacOSX subdirectory, so that it can be used by other platforms if needed.
I would like to leave the license on the new PICT code as "Public Domain" if that is okay.
Thanks,

The goal is to get rid of the build files under src/MacOSX by
allowing the ones under src/Unix to produce the same outputs.
Note: This currently has video problems, but this is consistent
with what you get when building out of src/MacOSX.
Added code to parse the Classic Mac OS 'styl' resources, allowing formatted text to be copied and pasted out of SheepShaver, not just plain text. In order to do this, I made some changes to the emul_op mechanism, patching ZeroScrap() in addition to the scrap methods that were already being patched. The reason for this is that since we need to read data from multiple items that are on the clipboard at once, we cannot simply assume a zero at the beginning of each PutScrap() operation.
This patch uses RTF to store styled text on the host side; unfortunately, since the APIs to convert to and from RTF data are in Cocoa but not in CoreFoundation, I had to write the new portions in Objective-C rather than C, and changed the extension from .cpp to .mm accordingly. In the future, if we are confident that this file will only be used on Mac OS X 10.6 and up, we can rewrite the Pasteboard Manager code to use NSPasteboardReading/Writing instead. This would allow us to read and write NSAttributedString objects directly to and from the pasteboard, which would make sure we were always using the OS's preferred rich text format internally instead of hard-coding it specifically to RTF as in the current implementation.
I believe that this patch should also fix the problem Ronald reported with copying accented characters.
Since I am new to 68k assembly and the emul_op mechanism, I would appreciate if someone could double-check all my changes to make sure that I have done everything correctly.
Thanks,
Charles

For my work on digital preservation it's important to have "golden"
disk images that are not corrupted by user action. In order to enable
this, I've added support for VHD virtual disks (especially snapshots !)
to the Linux and OS X versions of BasiliskII and SheepShaver.
The support uses the open source libvhd library which is part of xen,
available here:
http://www.xen.org/products/xen_source.html
The piece that's needed is libvhd which is in tools/blktap2 and it can
be separately compiled.
The vhd-util enables creation of vhd disks and snapshots.
Compiling libvhd for OS X is non-trivial and required 1) a new config
and 2) a number of small changes to the include files and c files.
Compiling for linux is a snap.
I use this as follows.
1) create my "golden image" gold.dsk in the usual way
2) create a snapshot: vhd-util snapshot -n gold.vhd -p gold.dsk -m
3) use the snapshot in my prefs file
In my work the golden images are in an AFS system which means the golden
images can reside at "universal" addresses. The snapshots are initially
tiny, so a complete virtual machine configuration -- prefs + snapshot is
quick to download for the end user.
The snapshots are copy on write which has the pleasant side effect of
letting the end user keep any changes.
Add bin/cue support. The following should work:
1) Basilisk and SheepShaver with sdl-audio and bincue on linux and os x
2) SheepShaver with bincue and core audio on os x
GCC has become too smart - we need to slice the binary created to be sure the
address of the trap is within the test addresses. This is why each trap occurs
between two case labels and a new section of assembly code is set in between.
Attached is a set of patches to port the precise timer that is currently used in the Linux and BeOS builds of SheepShaver to Mac OS X (and any other Mach-based operating systems).
Currently, the Linux build uses the clock_gettime() function to get nanosecond-precision time, and falls back on gettimeofday() if it is not present. Unfortunately, Mac OS X does not currently support clock_gettime(), and gettimeofday() has only microsecond granularity. The Mach kernel, however, has a clock_get_time() function that does very nearly the same thing as clock_gettime(). The patches to BasiliskII cause the timing functions such as timer_current_time() to use clock_get_time() instead of gettimeofday() on Mach-based systems that do not support clock_gettime().
The changes to SheepShaver involve the precise timer. The existing code for Linux uses pthreads and real-time signals to handle the timing. Mac OS X unfortunately does not seem to support real-time signals, so Mach calls are again used to suspend and resume the timer thread in order to attempt to duplicate the Linux and BeOS versions of the timer. The code is somewhat ugly right now, as I decided to leave alone the pre-existing style of the source file, which unfortunately involves #ifdefs scattered throughout the file and some duplication of code. A future patch may want to clean this up to separate out the OS-specific code and put it all together at the top of the file. However, for the time being, this seems to work.
This has not been extensively tested, because I have not been able to get my hands on a good test-case app for the classic Mac OS that would run inside the emulator and try out the timer. However, performance does seem to be better than with the pre-existing code, and nothing seems to have blown up as far as I can tell. I did find a game via a Google search - Cap'n Magneto - that is known to have problems with Basilisk/SheepShaver's legacy 60 Hz timer, and the opening fade-to-color for this game appears to run much more smoothly with the precise timer code in place.
SheepShaver includes the C errno string in many error messages. One case is when it calls the memory allocation routines in the Basilisk II vm_alloc.cpp program.
This works when the memory allocation routine uses functions that set errno (such as mmap or malloc). For example, running SheepShaver on a Linux hosts produces meaningful error messages.
The problem is that when run on an OS X host, the memory allocation uses Mach routines such as vm_allocate, which do not set errno.
So when SheepShaver reported the error, it used a stale value of errno, which happened to be 17. The result was an extremely misleading error message: "Cannot map RAM: File already exists".
The fix is to change vm_alloc so that it translates Mac return codes into POSIX errno values.
It also initializes errno to 0 at the start of the memory allocation routine, so that no matter what path it takes, it won't return a stale value.
Here is a patch to allow compiling of SS and B2 with an SDL Framework. You can
get this by downloading from:
http://www.libsdl.org/release/SDL-1.2.13.dmg
Here is how I tested on an intel 32-bit mac with Mac OS X 10.5.6:
SS ./autogen.sh --disable-standalone-gui --enable-vosf --enable-sdl-framework --enable-sdl-framework-prefix=/Users/mzs/Library/Frameworks --enable-sdl-video --disable-sdl-audio --enable-addressing=real
--without-esd --without-gtk --without-mon --without-x
SS /autogen.sh --disable-standalone-gui --enable-vosf --disable-sdl-framework --disable-sdl-video --disable-sdl-audio --enable-addressing=real --without-esd --without-gtk --without-mon --with-x
B2 ./autogen.sh --disable-standalone-gui --enable-vosf --enable-sdl-framework --enable-sdl-framework-prefix=/Users/mzs/Library/Frameworks --enable-sdl-video --enable-sdl-audio --enable-addressing=real --without-esd --without-gtk --without-mon --without-x --enable-jit-compiler
B2 ./autogen.sh --disable-standalone-gui --enable-vosf --disable-sdl-framework --disable-sdl-video --disable-sdl-audio --enable-addressing=real --with-esd --without-gtk --without-mon --with-x --enable-jit-compiler
(esound does not really work on mac, it needs some better coreaudio patches.)
configure.ac for SS has two little additional fixes so that the Cocoa prefs gui
does not get built if you are building for X11 and so that you can use esd, sdl,
or coreaudio for sound.
I was testing some other SS patches and I noticed that when I ran an X11
build of SS there were not all the video modes I expected in the the
control strip. Mac OS X 10.5 changed the form of the DISPLAY environment
variable. The reason for this is that the DISPLAY variable looks like
this in Leopard:
/tmp/launch-XXXXXX/:0
The Xs are like in mktemp.
Here is a patch that has a shell script cpr.sh to recursively copy directories but
discarding things that cause problems at least on 10.4 when making the .app bundles.
This first patch gets B2 and SS to build under Leopard and Tiger.
I tested this on a 32-bit intel 10.5.6 mac like so:
B2
./autogen.sh --disable-standalone-gui --enable-vosf --enable-sdl-video --enable-sdl-audio --enable-addressing=real --without-esd --without-gtk --without-mon --without-x
SS
./autogen.sh --disable-standalone-gui --enable-vosf -enable-sdl-video --disable-sdl-audio --enable-addressing=real --without-esd --without-gtk --without-mon --without-x --enable-jit
There is also a little tweak so that you can use sdl audio in SheepShaver when building for Mac OS X.
explicitly generated from mig. The advantage of that is to provide a "fast"
path for x86_64 on Leopard too (fault address in code[1]).
By "fast", this means +33% faster wrt. explicitly thread_get_state() but
still pretty slow (40 usec/fault). This is on par with the i386 code path though.
Leopard kernel faster? This is pure marketing hype. For 32-bit applications,
Mach exception recovery is 60% slower. For 64-bit applications, this is up
to 40% faster though. In any case, MacOS X remains pretty slow wrt. Linux...

in the bundle. This is faster and more accurate as this avoids emulation.
Also clean-up code so that to prepare the use of lib uaccess on hpux/ia64.
XXX: this will need explicit use of uint64_t to define registers because
HP/UX is ILP32 capable and all registers are 64-bit capable so "unsigned long"

complex than expected but it was fun to play with. Who designed this ISA?
I'd love to see how the decoder is implemented in HW, by all means it is
not "simplified" unless I missed some pattern...
XNU 792.21.3 (10.4.10) and XNU 1228 (10.5.0), exception handler code[1] always
contains the fault address nowadays. So make it the default fast path but keep
provisions to check that at run-time first.
This yields a nearly 4x improvement in SIGSEGV recovery but MacOS X is still
suboptimal wrt. Linux, so VOSF is still not possible with frameskip == 0.
XXX: the ppc kernel had bugs that caused DAR (put into code[1]) to be incorrectly
decoded. This would need a broader test audience or more careful audit of the
sources changes.
on Tiger+ to store FInfo and FXInfo. Otherwise, plain old .finfo/ helpers are
used. "Safe" flags and fields are always synchronized to/from MacOS X.
BTW, CFString leak was fixed at the same time.
I am adding functionality to support this. For the moment, I've only
added the platform-specific conversion for MacOSX (ie: UTF8 -> MacRoman),
but others can be added later.
Rather, use an address override prefix (0x67) though Intel Core optimization
reference guide says to avoid LCP prefixes. In practise, impact on performance
is measurably marginal on e.g. Speedometer tests.
- Don't export transfer types definitions (formerly used by older API)
- Handle ADD instructions in ix86_skip_instruction() (generated by icc 9.1)
- Use "%p" format for EIP/RIP addresses
- Call user handler for KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS too (SIGBUS)
- Check for VALID_THREAD_STATE_FLAVOR in forward_exception()
- Return KERN_FAILURE if forward_exception() got an unknown behavior code
Other bugs fixed:
- CD-ROM media are polled and now can be changed without rebooting
- Buffer overflow, memory leak and extra wait in CD-ROM ejection code
as BasiliskIIGUI.app, or /Applications/BasiliskII.app if none was found.
Also make yet another arrangement for MacOS X "difference". This scenario
was not working: WarningAlert -> ErrorAlert, the latter was not performed
because the exit status was not properly filled in sip->si_status...
- Rewrote dispatch loop to accomodate GTK+1.2 for MacOS X (which doesn't
like threads nor forks(!)). The latter also requires an additional patch
to the version 0.7 available on SourceForge
- Run-time detect JIT capability so that we could hopefully use the ppc GUI
on intel based Macs (check!)
STANDALONE_GUI. This is the second step towards a more interesting GUI alike

Note: The step should be enough to provide a tiny GTK GUI for MacOS X.

that Basilisk II works with up to 1 GB of Mac RAM in DIRECT_ADDRESSING or
REAL_ADDRESSING mode.
BTW, a quick Speedometer 4 CPU performance test showed a +15% speed increase
in real addressing mode vs. direct addressing. x86 arches don't benefit much
from that mode since they support complex address modes already (beyond plain
load/store).

- In the instruction skipper code, add a huge kludge (trampoline) to forcibly
zero out %global registers when requested. Otherwise, Solaris/SPARC turned
out to use %g1 during signal handling, and the zero we could have written
to there vanished. This assumes [%sp-8] is valid to use (ABI states data
below %sp is undefined though)

suddenly allocated below RAM and thus not working. Besides, this may fix a
latent deallocation bug in real addressing mode (i.e. release the whole
block allocated at once, not separately).
Side effect: this makes Basilisk II work in direct addressing mode with JIT
on Darwin 8.0.1 for x86.
On those systems, it's really hard to get high resolution timings and the
system oftens fails to honour a timeout in less than 20 ms. The idea here
is to have an average m68k instruction count (countdown quantum) that
triggers real interrupt checks. The quantum is calibrated every 10 ticks
and has a 1000 Hz resolution on average.

This is useful to get rid of address offset sign extensions. It uses POSIX

Add Linux/ARM instruction skipping, includes support for ARMv4+ halfword
