This is one of the calls with the delayed IPC. In the past, teams have
called an IsMode function so much that their code would start lagging.
This adds a cache, so the data is updated either when new data arrives
and we are notified of it, or after 50ms has passes since the last time
the cache was checked and updated.
Could not include the ctre and NetComm folders, as those would require
changing ctre dependancies. Also removes a duplicated FRCComm header
that was not needed.
* Converted enumerated constants in wpilibj to enums and made their implementation more consistent
* Reflowed text in JNI calls and updated JNI signatures
* Makes the HAL provide a better error message for certain things.
* Makes Java error messages better
* Updates C++ errors.
* Moves handles header folder to HAL directory
* Switches HAL to fixed length signed integers, and adds our own HAL_Bool type
* Replaces HAL Floats with Doubles
Doubles are just as fast as floats with optimizations turned on, so
switches to all doubles. All made doubles for consistency.
* Prepends HAL/ to HAL include files. Also fixes some range errors
Also added scripts for EOF newline management and for removing trailing whitespace. configure.bat was rewritten to use CRLF line endings. Documentation for the existing scripts was also improved.
HAL Port is using a special handle, where the module and pin are bit
shifted straight into the handle. This is one of the few special cases
we have, but for the way port is used it is much cleaner and uses much
less memory. Plus it is generic and not specific to one type.
Internally, the linked list now uses shared_ptrs instead of raw
pointers. In addition, in the WPILib the notifier handle is now made
atomic. Then before the class is destructed, the handle is now set to 0.
This should help solve one of the existing race conditions. A 0 handle
is correctly handled down at the HAL level.
In case of Spontaneous wake ups, we should be checking a condition
variable as well.
Note that we can not use the existing m_newControlData, as that has a
possible race condition with existing user code that it does not look
like we could work around.
Split to match the new headers. Uses a namespace 'hal' for internal functions and globals.
SPIAccumulator merged back into SPI header, as it was not a good split. Analog
accumulator will move back to analog input when the analog split is done.
