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.
* Reorder wpilibc PIDController's SetAbsoluteTolerance() and SetPercentTolerance() implementations to be consistent with header and wpilibj
* Added std:: prefix to fabs() calls in wpilibc PIDController
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.
* 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.
Updates the gradle version to 2.14. In doing so, some model elements have changed. Additionally, some redundant elements have been removed from the gradle scripts.
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.
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.
