[settings] Fix setting_cmp() to handle nameless settings

2009-06-13T11:04:08+00:00

setting_cmp() compares by option tag and then by name. Empty names will always match, which gives us a false positive. Fix by explicitly checking for empty names. Modified-by: Michael Brown Signed-off-by: Michael Brown

[settings] Allow for arbitrarily-named settings

2009-05-26T10:05:58+00:00

This provides a mechanism for using arbitrarily-named variables within gPXE, using the existing syntax for settings.

[settings] Fix erroneous bit-masking in fetch_uintz_setting()

[legal] Add a selection of FILE_LICENCE declarations

2009-05-18T07:33:25+00:00

Add FILE_LICENCE declarations to almost all files that make up the various standard builds of gPXE.

[tables] Redefine methods for accessing linker tables

2009-03-13T02:06:30+00:00

Intel's C compiler (icc) chokes on the zero-length arrays that we currently use as part of the mechanism for accessing linker table entries. Abstract away the zero-length arrays, to make a port to icc easier. Introduce macros such as for_each_table_entry() to simplify the common case of iterating over all entries in a linker table. Represent table names as #defined string constants rather than unquoted literals; this avoids visual confusion between table names and C variable or type names, and also allows us to force a compilation error in the event of incorrect table names.

[settings] Allow for autovivification of settings blocks

2009-03-06T14:40:44+00:00

Allow for settings blocks to be created on demand. This allows for constructions such as set defaults/filename http://bootserver/bootfile set defaults/priority 0xff dhcp net0 chain ${filename} which will boot from the DHCP-provided filename, or from "http://bootserver/bootfile" if the DHCP server does not provide a filename. (Note that "priority" gets interpreted as a signed integer, so setting "defaults/priority" to 0xff will cause the "defaults" settings block to have an effective priority of -1.)

[settings] Allow store_setting() to access the root settings block

[settings] Handle errors in fetchf_uristring()

2009-02-12T09:16:53+00:00

fetchf_uristring() was failing to handle error values from fetch_setting(), resulting in its attempting to allocate extremely large temporary buffers on the stack (and so overrunning the stack and locking up the machine). Problem reported by Shao Miller .

[settings] Avoid duplicate settings block names

2009-01-31T07:32:20+00:00

Automatically unregister any settings with the same name (and position within the settings tree) as a newly registered settings block. This functionality is generalised out from dhcp.c.
