Previously this would have allocated the std::string every time, even if
the message wasn't printed. Now takes a StringRef, and only converts to
std::string when the message actually gets printed.
This makes our APIs more consistent. With optimizations enabled, doubles are just as efficient as floats on ARMv7, so we should take advantage of the extra precision.
Base.h provides a backwards compatibility shim (enabled unless
NAMESPACED_WPILIB is defined) that does a "using namespace frc".
However, as some header files do not include Base.h, this may
be a breaking change in some corner cases (with an easy fix).
Fixes#218.
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.
Cleaned up RobotBase, removed singleton list from SensorBase, and removed unused typedefs and NULL_TASK macro from HAL's Task.hpp. Making the robot class instance static fixed non-POD statics used by the instance during destruction from being destroyed first.
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.
The network communication headers were moved to the include directory of the HAL and their copies were removed from wpilibc. Also, symModuleLink.h was removed because the function which it prototypes hasn't been used in WPILib since the roboRIO switch.
Rename the following folders:
hal/lib/Athena -> hal/lib/athena
hal/lib/Desktop -> hal/lib/sim
hal/lib/Shared -> hal/lib/shared
wpilibc/Athena -> wpilibc/athena
wpilibc/simulation -> wpilibc/sim
Windows users may need to run gradlew clean after updating.
