As I start to write libxenon programs again I found myself wanting a few features. Everything below I have tested with this build as best as I can using and RGH2 trinity console. This pr makes the following changes:
Increase the amount of and duration of DHCP probes globally on network initialization. This helps with slower connections from console->DHCP server.
Testing: DHCP works still. If link is down it's not an unbearably longer wait.
Enable the telnet console receive buffer and expose it globally so libxenon programs can also use it easily. (this code already existed in the code base, I just uncommented it and tested it pretty much)
Testing: PuTTY and Linux telnet clients work to read and write the telnet console. Trying to overload the receive buffer etc does not produce any issues.
When libxenon programs crash and
c_exceptis executed, it now brings up hardware again (USB and network) and the telnet console. Added more input handling options. Controller should be good for users without a UART. Telnet is also good for developing libxenon programs without access to UART as well. All of the possible input options can either reprint the stack trace or reboot the console in a number of ways.Testing: created a small program
handle-all-inputin my repo to test against. Forcing that program to crash I tried each new option I added in c_except.General compiler warnings cleanup. While making edits to other stuff I just wanted to silence the noise and make sure what I was doing wasn't causing any fallout. I only tackled warnings that were obvious like implicit declarations/missing headers and the like.
I built all the auxiliary libraries and also XeLL-Reloaded master with these changes and all is well. I wanted to contribute these changes on the off chance it helps other libxenon program developers. Much of this can likely be improved as I am no expert :D
