This is increasingly difficult to maintain, and has very limited
benefit. Modern coprocessors with enough horsepower to run Java
applications can use the Gradle or Bazel build systems instead.
In https://github.com/wpilibsuite/allwpilib/issues/8681 we discovered
that multicast service types need to be valid (end with _tcp or _udp),
or else errors are silently swallowed. Let's make our C++ unit test use
a valid name and also check that it works. I think if we
should/shouldn't do this is up for debate still.
I also discovered two bugs in the JNI code that lead to incorrect
results being returned
- Return array index was always 0
- Use of JLocal for the return value seems to mean that the array will
always be NULL in java
This changes the HAL notifier interface to:
- Use wpiutil signal objects. This means waiting is done through the
`WPI_WaitObject` API instead of a dedicated function and allows for
higher level code to simultaneously wait on notifiers and other events.
- Interval timers are supported at the HAL layer
- Handlers are now required to acknowledge notifications. This is
invisible to users unless they're directly using the HAL API.
- For interval timers, an overrun count is maintained to detect if the
handler didn't acknowledge
The underlying implementation still uses condition variables for the
actual waiting. In basic testing using this approach seemed to be lower
jitter than timerfd.
Currently, the simulation and systemcore implementations are nearly
identical except for a few additional sim hook bits. This could be
refactored, but keeping them separate may make sense to keep the
systemcore implementation easy to read and reason about, or if we ever
choose to use a different underlying timer implementation on systemcore.
The simulation side API is unchanged in form but does change in
function--waiting for notifiers now only waits for currently running (or
newly signaled) notifiers to acknowledge. To avoid a race condition in
sim stepTiming, users of the low level API must make any alarm updates
(especially for one-shot alarms) prior to acknowledging the previous
alarm.
The only current use of the interval timer feature is the `Notifier`
class. The `TimedRobot` implementation still uses a single notifier and
its own interval timing logic to ensure consistent callback order. Using
separate notifiers for each user-level interval would substantially
increase complexity. `Watchdog` also doesn't use the interval timer, as
it's looking for an amount of time since the last `set` call rather than
a recurring interval time.
To reduce flicker, the sim GUI uses a fade out when a timeout goes from
set to unset.
This fixes tsan for wpilib and commands, and also fixes some spurious
test failures.
libprotobuf is a very annoying dependency to deal with, and with the switch to nanopb for generated C++ code, libprotobuf is only used for dynamic decode in the GUI apps. libprotobuf has been swapped out with upb, a much smaller C-based library that supports reflection and can therefore do dynamic decode. This means we can remove the libprotobuf dependency and stop dealing with build issues because of it.
This adds support for two serialization formats for complex data types:
- Protobuf for complex objects with variable length internals that need forward and backward wire compatibility (lower speed, more flexible)
- Raw struct (ByteBuffer-style) for fixed-length objects (higher speed, less flexible)
Deserialization can be done either by creating a new object (for immutable objects) or overwriting the contents of an existing object (for mutable objects).
Implementing classes should provide inner classes that implement the Protobuf or Struct interface (in Java) or specialize the wpi::Protobuf or wpi::Struct struct (in C++). It is possible for classes to implement both. If the class itself does not implement serialization, it's possible for third parties/users to provide an implementation instead.
Uses the Google protobuf implementation for C++ and the QuickBuffers alternative protobuf implementation for Java.
This sets the workflow concurrency to 1 for all workflows. For PRs this means if you push an additional commit older jobs will be cancelled.
The documentation workflow already only runs on tags or merges to main. For this, we cancel previous runs if they are to the same destination (tag or main) but still prevent 2 jobs from running at once if they are spawned from different refs.
* Address sanitizer uses -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Asan
* Thread sanitizer uses -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Tsan
* Undefined behavior sanitizer uses -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Ubsan
Only ubsan is enabled in CI for now because asan and tsan report
failures.
