IEEE 802.15.4 has two addressing modes: 16-bit short and the device's
EUI-64. Currently RIOT supports only sending of packets with 16-bit
short addresses via the transceiver interface. This patch allows at
least for the radio chips that support IEEE 802.15.4 to let the
application/upper layer decide which addressing mode to use.
Upper layer implementation will be implemented in follow-up PR to #460
`sys/types.h` contains the native definition for `pthread_*_t`. This
causes clashes if you want to use `semaphore` and `pthread` in the same
application.
Per #708.
This patch allows escaped characters in the shell, and makes the
apostrophe a quotation mark. The escape character is backslash.
The term "escape character" is used liberally in here: if a backslash is
encountered in the command line, the next character will be taken
verbatim. No escape sequences are understood, i.e. `"\n"` is just the
letter `n`, not a new line.
Compare #708.
Now the tokenization of an input line is done by the shell itself. You
may quote arguments with `"..."`. Empty arguments, supplied by `""` are
preserved. Spaces in between arguments are squasheds; spaces inside
quotes are preserved.
You cannot partially quote an argument. You must not use
- `cmd "abc`,
- `cmd abc"def"`, or
- `cmd "abc"def`.
RIOT's gettimeofday needs to be called from syscalls.c to assure that gcc actually links it.
If an RTC if available and enabled it will be used instead.
This fixes#755.
The pthread ID cannot be reused as soon as the thread ends, because
another thread needs to join it first. `pthread_self()` uses the native
(i.e. RIOT's) thread ID to distinguish itself. A native thread ID can be
reused as soon as the thread ends, since the core knows no join
operation.
In order to not confuse itself with an earlier zombie thread (i.e a dead
non-detached thread, that was not joined, yet), we need to invalidate
the associated native thread ID.
This approach is sane since a dead thread won't call `pthread_self()`
anymore.
