@node introduction "Introduction"
|
|
Back when version of 41.0 of ixemul.library was released, it came with
|
|
numerous new configuration options, one of which I wanted to use. By playing
|
|
with ixconfig, the configuration program that accompanied that version of the
|
|
library, I saw that this program had two deficiencies:
|
|
|
|
a. It had almost as many command line options as UNIX ls, which are hard to
|
|
remember.
|
|
b. Making the new configuration persistent was done using a horrible kludge,
|
|
namely the -s option of ixconfig, which instructed ixconfig never to
|
|
return, to make ixemul.library unflushable. Even if one had memory to
|
|
burn, permanently allocating 120+ Kbytes, just to remember the handful of
|
|
bits that define the configuration of ixemul.library, was a terrible
|
|
waste.
|
|
|
|
Having a bit of spare time, I decided to try addressing these two points: By
|
|
writing a graphical configuration program, I believe I addressed the first,
|
|
and by not supporting the equivalent of the -s option, I hoped to give the
|
|
maintainers of ixemul.library the incentive to read, at library startup, the
|
|
configuration from a file similar to the one that ixprefs maintains, so that
|
|
ixemul.library would not have to stay permanently in memory if it is to
|
|
remember its configuration.
|
|
|
|
Starting with ixemul.library version 42.0 this functionality has been
|
|
implemented.
|
|
@endnode
|
|
@node installation "Installation"
|
|
Simply copy ixprefs (and, optionally, ixprefs.info) somewhere on your disk.
|
|
|
|
If you are upgrading from version 1.x, delete the old configuration file
|
|
S:ixprefs.
|
|
|
|
If you are upgrading from version 2.0 beta 1, rename ENVARC:ixprefs to
|
|
ENVARC:ixemul.prefs and ENV:ixprefs to ENV:ixemul.prefs.
|
|
@endnode
|
|
@node recompiling "Recompiling"
|
|
Ixprefs is now integrated into the ixemul.library source distribution.
|
|
|
|
The AmigaOS GUI has been designed using GadToolsBox 2.0c by Jan van
|
|
den Baard. The makefile patches the C code generated by GadToolsBox
|
|
(amiga_gui.c) using a sed script, to add support for AmigaOS 3.x features.
|
|
This script should work for other programs generated by GadToolsBox,
|
|
so you might want to use it in other projects as well.
|
|
|
|
When creating C source code from within GadToolsBox, you will create
|
|
files amiga_gui.c and amiga_gui_temp.c. The latter contains templates
|
|
for all functions called to handle gadgets and menus. If you have not
|
|
added any new gadgets or menus, you can discard this file, otherwise cut
|
|
the templates for the new functions and paste them to amiga_functions.c.

|
@node amigawildcard "Allow AmigaOS-style wildcards"
|
|
The ixemul.library startup code expands wildcards in the command line. If
|
|
this option is set, AmigaOS-style wildcards are recognized, in addition to
|
|
UNIX-style wildcards which are always recognized. Thus, if this option is
|
|
set, you can use either *.c or #?.c to specify all C source files, while if
|
|
this option is not set, you can only use *.c.
|
|
@endnode
|
|
@node case "Case sensitive pattern matching"
|
|
If this option is set, pattern matching in UNIX-style wildcard expansion is
|
|
case sensitive, i.e., *.c expands to all files ending in .c (lower case), while
|
|
*.C expands to all files ending in .C (upper case). If this option is not
|
|
set, UNIX-style wildcard expansion is case insensitive (e.g., *.c expands to
|
|
files ending in both .c and .C).
|
|
@endnode
|
|
@node slash "Translate /"
|
|
If this option is set, ixemul.library interprets "/foo" as "foo:", and
|
|
"foo//bar" as "foo/bar".
|
|
|
|
Note: this option is only available on the ixprefs graphical interface if
|
|
the @{"Enable advanced ixprefs options" link advanced} checkbox is checked.
|
|
@endnode
|
|
@node noflush "Do not flush library"
|
|
If this option is set, then ixemul.library will always remain resident in
|
|
memory, and will not be flushed when no programs are using it. This can be
|
|
used to ensure that the library settings are not lost by flushing and then
|
|
reloading the library, at the cost of making the memory occupied by the
|
|
library unavailable to other programs. It is also slightly faster, because
|
|
the library is loaded only once.
|
|
|
|
When this option is not set, then it will be possible to flush ixemul.library
|
|
when no programs use it (e.g., by typing "avail flush" at the CLI prompt or by
|
|
selecting the Debug->flushlibs item from the workbench menu).
|
|
@endnode
|
|
@node ignoreenv "Ignore global environment"
|
|
If this option is set, the getenv() function returns local environment
|
|
variables, i.e., those created by the AmigaOS "set" command". If this
|
|
option is not set, the getenv() function returns global environment variables,
|
|
i.e., those created by the AmigaOS "setenv" command", in addition to local
|
|
ones. Local environment variables have precedence over global ones.
|
|
@endnode
|
|
@node enforcer "Generate Enforcer hit when a trap occurs"
|
|
If this option is set then, whenever a trap (division by zero, bus error,
|
|
etc.) occurs, ixemul.library writes the error code to the address 0xdeaddead.
|
|
Using the stack dump from Enforcer you can then try to find out where the
|
|
problem occurred. If this option is not set, no Enforcer hit is generated.
|
|
|
|
Note: this option is only available on the ixprefs graphical interface if
|
|
the @{"Enable advanced ixprefs options" link advanced} checkbox is checked.
|
|
@endnode
|
|
@node suppress "Suppress the `Insert volume in drive' requester"
|
|
If this option is not set, whenever ixemul.library tries to access a
|
|
non-existent volume, it will pop up a requester asking for the volume to be
|
|
inserted. If this option is set, ixemul.library will not pop up this
|
|
requester.
|
|
@endnode
|
|
@node membuf "Membuf size"
|
|
Files up to this size in bytes are cached in memory.
|
|
@endnode
|
|
@node networking "Networking support"
|
|
This option allows the user to specify the kind of networking support they
|
|
have:
|
|
|
|
0. Auto detect (default): ixemul tries to figure out what networking support
|
|
the user has (none, AmiTCP, AS225).
|
|
|
|
1. No networking: all networking is turned off, regardless of whether the user
|
|
has AmiTCP or AS225 or not.
|
|
|
|
2. AS225: set to AS225, if available. Otherwise no network support.
|
|
|
|
3. AmiTCP: set to AmiTCP, if available. Otherwise no network support.
|
|
|
|
Note that `Auto detect' will check for AmiTCP first, and AS225 second. This
|
|
is to circumvent problems when the socket.library emulation for AmiTCP is
|
|
used.
|
|
@endnode
|
|
@node mufs "Enable MuFS support"
|
|
If this option is set, then ixemul.library will enable special support for
|
|
the Multiuser Filesystem (MuFS) if the multiuser.library is present. Not
|
|
everybody wants this functionality, and since it turns out that the
|
|
support is actually somewhat buggy, ixemul.library no longer supports
|
|
MuFS by default, so you will have to turn this checkbox on if you want
|
|
it. This checkbox is unique compared to the others, in that it won't be
|
|
in effect until the ixemul.library has been flushed from memory.
|
|
@endnode
|
|
@node profiling "Profiling method"
|
|
Gcc provides the -pg flag to enable code profiling. When a program is
|
|
compiled with -pg, a special function is called at the beginning of each
|
|
function, which registers 1) how many times this function is called, 2)
|
|
which functions called this function.
|
|
|
|
In addition to this, a function in ixemul.library is called 50 times per
|
|
second. This function, among other things, increases timers and also,
|
|
if the current program is compiled with -pg, samples the current program
|
|
counter (PC) and registers this.
|
|
|
|
When a program that is compiled with the -pg option has finished, a file
|
|
called gmon.out is produced, containing the above two sets of statistics.
|
|
Using the gprof program, you can read this file and determine which
|
|
programs were called and how much time was spent in each function.
|
|
The timing information is derived from the PC sampling.
|
|
|
|
The problem with this scheme is that if the PC is outside the code in your
|
|
program, nothing is registered. Suppose a function calls a ROM function
|
|
or some library function that takes 10 seconds to finish. According to
|
|
gprof, this function took 0 seconds, because the time spent elsewhere
|
|
is not counted. This may be what you want (no ``pollution'' from other
|
|
sources), but there are cases where this is not what is needed.
|
|
|
|
Thus, ixemul.library provides three methods of sampling the PC:
|
|
1. Only in program (default): take samples only while your program is
|
|
running and the PC is within your program.
|
|
2. Only in task: take samples while your program is running and if the PC is
|
|
outside your program code (e.g. in ixemul or in intuition.library), use
|
|
the last function your program entered before calling ixemul or whatever.
|
|
3. Profile always: always take samples, even if other programs are running.
|
|
Again, the last recorded function gets the hit in those cases.
|
|
|
|
The choice of option depends on what you are interested in profiling: the
|
|
performance of just your own code (in UNIX terms, the ``user time''),
|
|
the overall performance of your program (in UNIX terms, ``user'' plus
|
|
``system'' time), or the performance of your program plus any external
|
|
programs that your program invokes (e.g., using the system() function).
|
|
@endnode
|
|
@node blocks "Physical blocks to build one logical block (for stdio)"
|
|
This number denotes the number of physical (usually 512-byte) blocks that
|
|
ixemul treats as one block during I/O, for efficiency.
|
|
@endnode
|
|
@node advanced "Enable advanced ixprefs options"
|
|
When this checkbox is selected, the @{"Translate /" link slash} and @{"Create Enforcer hit on trap" link enforcer}
|
|
options become available on the ixprefs window. This checkbox is unchecked
|
|
by default.
|
|
@endnode
|
|
@node save "Save"
|
|
Applies the user-specified configuration to ixemul.library, saves it in
|

|
@endnode
|
|
@node use "Use"
|
|

Alternatively, you can control the program from the CLI. You can use either
|
|
short options, e.g., "-m 1024", or long options, e.g., "--membuf-limit 1024".
|
|
If you use long options, you need only specify enough of the option name to

|
disambiguate it from other option names, e.g., "--mem 1024".

|
|
Version 1.0 June 23, 1995
|
|
First public release.
|
|
|
|
Version 1.1 June 26, 1995
|
|
* Made the following enhancements, suggested by Kamil Iskra
|
|
(iskra@student.uci.agh.edu.pl):
|
|
+ Ixprefs window is now font adaptive.
|
|
+ Ixprefs window is now activated when opened.
|
|
+ GZZ adjust flag in GadToolsBox turned off.
|
|
+ CheckBox gadgets are now scalable under AmigaOS 3.x.
|
|
+ NewLook menus under AmigaOS 3.x
|
|
+ Use OpenFont() rather than DiskFont() to access system font, as this font
|
|
is always in memory.
|
|
+ Slightly rearranged window layout to avoid problems with sizable gadgets.
|
|
* Updated the documentation.
|
|
|
|
Version 1.2 July 3, 1995
|
|
* Added a UNIX-style CLI interface using getopt_long().
|
|
* Modified showrequester() to print messages on stderr if the ixprefs window
|
|
is not open, so that no requesters pop up when the CLI interface is used.
|
|
* Updated ixemul.library version check, so that the program now runs under
|
|
both version 41.0 and 41.1 without producing a warning.
|
|
* Fixed the dates in this section. Not that anyone cares, but the previous
|
|
versions of this program were written in June, not May!
|
|
* Updated the documentation.
|
|
|
|
Version 1.3 (not released)
|
|
* Made a very minor modification in gadget placement (some gadgets were off
|
|
by one pixel).
|
|
* Fixed a bug where if AmigaOS notation is turned off, it was impossible to
|
|
load or save the configuration file. Remaining bug: if neither AmigaOS
|
|
notation nor / translation is allowed, there is no way to access S:ixprefs,
|
|
and loading/saving is impossible. This could be fixed by temporarily
|
|
twiddling the flags. However, as the "allow AmigaOS notation" flag has been
|
|
made obsolete in version 41.3, I don't plan to fix this.
|
|
* Modified Makefile to remove ixprefs.c.orig.
|
|
|
|
Version 2.0
|
|
beta 1, July 12, 1995
|
|
* Made the following modifications in preparation for the integration of
|
|
ixprefs with the forthcoming cleaned-up version of ixemul.library:
|
|
+ Dropped support for ix_unix_pattern_matching, ix_no_ces_then_open_console,
|
|
ix_ignore_global_env, ix_translate_dots, ix_force_translation, and
|
|
ix_translate_symlinks. These settings will no longer be honored by
|
|
ixemul.library, as their values will be fixed.
|
|
+ Added support for the new ix_allow_amiga_wildcard setting.
|
|
+ Rearranged the GUI accordingly.
|
|
+ Applied Kamil Iskra's modifications for AmigaOS 3.x to the resulting
|
|
ixprefs.c, and created a new ixprefs.c.diff.
|
|
+ Changed the save format from human-readable to machine-readable (struct
|
|
settings). I know many people will disagree with this decision, but it
|
|
was necessary for easier parsing of the configuration by ixemul.library.
|
|
+ Added struct settings to ixemul.h.
|
|
+ Modified the definition of the ixemul flags in ixemul.h from a bitfield to
|
|
a long word, with a set of #define's for the various flags.
|
|
+ Changed the location of the save file from S:ixprefs to ENVARC:IXPREFS.
|
|
The "save" and "use" options also save the configuration in ENV:IXPREFS.
|
|
* Modified main.c to call ixprefsrestore() to load the ixprefs settings from
|
|
ixemulbase instead of duplicating ixprefsrestore()'s code.
|
|
* Updated the documentation.
|
|
beta 2, September 16, 1995
|
|
* Saved configuration now includes values for obsolete flags, so that ixprefs
|
|
may work with earlier versions of ixemul.library.
|
|
* Cleaned up the code by compiling with -Wall and eliminating the warnings.
|
|
* Changed the name of the configuration file from IXPREFS to ixconfig.prefs,
|
|
to avoid a clash with the ixprefs executable in the unlikely case that
|
|
someone might have ENV: or ENVARC: in their path.
|
|
* Fixed a typo ("upto" instead of "up to") in the text printed by the --help
|
|
option.
|
|
* Added a version string to main.c.
|
|
* Added support for the new ix_do_not_flush_library setting.
|
|
* Applied Kamil Iskra's modifications for AmigaOS 3.x to the new version of
|
|
ixprefs.c, and created a new ixprefs.c.diff.
|
|
* Updated the documentation.
|
|
beta 3, October 25, 1995
|
|
* Corrected the punctuation of the configuration report in CLI mode.
|
|
* Updated private copy of ixemul.h to reflect the changes in the official
|
|
version (41.4).
|
|
* Added two paragraphs that were missing from the GPL notice in the source
|
|
files, Makefile, and documentation.
|
|
* Changed the method of modifying ixprefs.c to add support for AmigaOS 3.x
|
|
features: instead of applying a diff file to ixprefs.c (clumsy, as the diff
|
|
file does not work if the GUI is changed) I now use a sed script that
|
|
modifies ixprefs.c on the fly (this should work even if the GUI changes, and
|
|
should work for other projects, too). Kept a copy of ixprefs.c.diff around,
|
|
just in case...
|
|
* Recompiled using -fbaserel. The resulting executable is almost 2K smaller.
|
|
* Added back support for ix_ignore_global_env. Support for this option will
|
|
not be dropped from future versions of ixemul.library.
|
|
* Made minor modifications in the help text in cli.c (s/don't/do not/).
|
|
* Updated the documentation.
|
|
beta 4, October 25, 1995 (not distributed)
|
|
* ix_do_not_flush_library and ix_ignore_global_env were not being restored
|
|
when doing a "last saved".
|
|
|
|
Version 2.1 November 14, 1995
|
|
Adapted for ixemul.library 42.0 by Hans Verkuil:
|
|
* Independently applied a similar fix to that of version 2.0 beta 4.
|
|
* Finished merging ixprefs into the main distribution.
|
|
* Changed several things because all library base changes (such as the config
|
|
settings) now go through library calls.
|
|
* Removed another setting (fibcache, was never used).
|
|
* Added a new cycle gadget for future networking support. The library accepts
|
|
it, but currently ignores it.
|
|
* Rearranged the gadgets in the GUI, and changed the wording in the ixprefs
|
|
window and the output of the --report option, for a more aesthetically
|
|
pleasing appearance.
|
|
* Updated the version check in main.c to check for version 42 of
|
|
ixemul.library, as ixprefs is now incompatible with version 41.0.
|
|
* As ixprefs is now incompatible with versions prior to 42.0, ixprefs no
|
|
longer stores default values for obsolete flags.
|
|
* Switched back to compiling without -fbaserel, as we had a manifestation of
|
|
the infamous "spilled register" problem.
|
|
|
|
* Threw away ixprefs.c.diff, as the sed script proved capable of handling
|
|
the massive rearrangement of the GUI that occurred.
|
|
* Removed the various tooltypes from ixprefs.info, which I had forgotten to
|
|
delete when copying the icon from sys:prefs.
|
|
* Updated the documentation.
|
|
|
|
Version 2.2 March 17, 1996
|
|
* Adapted for ixemul.library 43.0 by Hans Verkuil (added support for
|
|
ix_create_enforcer_hit).
|
|
* Minor cleanup (updated version to 2.2).
|
|
* Updated the documentation.
|
|
|
|
Version 2.3 August 6, 1996
|
|
Adapted for ixemul.library 44.0 by Hans Verkuil:
|
|
* Added support for ix_profile_method_mask.
|
|
* Updated the version check in main.c to check for version 44 of
|
|
ixemul.library, as ixprefs is now incompatible with version 43.0.
|
|
|
|
* Minor cleanup (updated version number, Copyright date, author's e-mail
|
|
address).
|
|
* Updated the documentation.
|
|
|
|
Version 2.4 September 23, 1996
|
|
Adapted for ixemul.library 45.0 by Hans Verkuil:
|
|
* Removed stack watcher and red zone.
|
|
* Updated the documentation.
|
|
|
|
Version 2.5 June 14, 1997
|
|
Adapted for ixemul.library 47.0 by Hans Verkuil:
|
|
* Added MuFS support checkbox.
|
|
* Updated the documentation.
|
|
|
|
Version 2.6 June 21, 1997
|
|
* Massive code rearrangement to support more than one operating system.
|
|
* Updated the documentation.
|
|
|
|
Version 2.7 August 15, 1997
|
|
* Added "Enable advanced ixprefs options" checkbox, to selectively
|
|
enable/disable some "dangerous" ixemul opytions from the GUI.

@node requirements "Requirements"
|
|
Ixprefs runs under AmigaOS 2.04 or later, and under p.OS. The graphical user
|
|
interface is currently only available under AmigaOS.
|
|
|
|
Ixprefs requires version 47.0 or higher of ixemul.library. It will refuse to
|
|
run under previous versions, as they had fewer configuration options,
|
|
maintained in a different order in the ixemul library base.

@node acknowledgments "Acknowledgments"
|
|
Kamil Iskra (iskra@student.uci.agh.edu.pl) made several enhancement
|
|
suggestions and contributed code for adapting ixprefs to AmigaOS 3.x
|
|
(see program @{"history" link history}).
|
|
|
|
Hans Verkuil (hans@wyst.hobby.nl) was kind enough to consider integrating
|
|
ixprefs with ixemul.library, and to let me know in advance of the changes he
|
|
planned to make to the library, so that I could adapt ixprefs on time.
|
|
Hans also updated ixprefs from version 2.0 beta 4 to 2.1, and has also
|
|
updated the program to versions 2.2, 2.3, 2.4 and 2.5.
|
|
|
|
Thanks to Martin Blom (lcs@lysator.liu.se) for pointing out that I had to use
|
|
EraseRect() to visually erase a gadget from a window.
