new io interface was added. user defines amlmapio() and amlunmapio() functions
that will fill out Amlio structure with function pointers to read/write
routines for a particular region.
amlnew() function added allowing the creation of aml objects like buffers
or packages. these can be passed to amleval() with b, p or * format.
amltake()/amldrop() exclude an aml object from garbage collection.
on load, names are not always resolvable until the whole table is loaded.
for this, we create n objects that are just name strings. after load, we
recursively traverse the namespace and resolve them (see fixnames()).
the FindSetLeftBit and FindSetRightBit opcodes got implemened.
the difficulty is freeing items while parsing because items might already
be linked into various linked lists like in docinfo.images or form.fiels.
so we link images, tables and formfields to the docinfo as the final step
of getitems() pass using the new recursive function linkitems(). as only
reachable items get linked theres no danger of dangeling pointers.
store errno on the private process stack so its always per process
and not just per memory space. errno itself becomes a macro
dereferencing int *_errnoloc; which is initialized from main9.s
pointing to the private stack location.
various fixes in programs that just imported errno variable with
"extern int errno;" instead of including <errno.h>.
add PASS_MAX to limits.h for ape, and make getpass respect it. also increase the size of
the maximum passwords (we use long ones at work). Needed for native port of SVN (in progress).
in multithreaded programs, we have to wait until all outstanding
requests have been responded before closing down the srv.
dont make write errors sysfatal(), only print them. in case if
listensrv() is used we dont want to exit the process in respond()
called by some worker thread.
make sure Tversion is only handled when there are no outstanding
requests and make sure message size is sane.
Bread() always reads exactly nbytes of data if it can. only
when it reaches end of file or an error it will return less.
so the Breadn() function that was introduced has been removed.
sorry for the confusion.
