- CL-32 features added: - Hardware revision detection - v0.3 and v0.4 keyboard - v0.4 power supply - Inlined epd library (was a module) and made changes to the device definition (don't do full update after 5 small updates) - Statusbar: add support for inverted colors - e-paper driver improvements and warning fixes - Implemented gpio_controller_get_level() - Keyboard support improvements (unicode for tca drivers)

# cpp-symbols-module
|
|
|
|
Exports the C++ runtime/ABI symbols that side-loaded ELF apps need but that don't come from any
|
|
single library header - compiler-generated helpers (`operator new`/`delete`, vtable guard
|
|
variables) and libstdc++ internals that are normally only reachable through template
|
|
instantiation, not a plain function call. Apps still `#include <new>`/`<map>`/`<string>` etc.
|
|
directly; this module only makes sure the actual out-of-line definitions resolve when their ELF
|
|
is loaded into the firmware.
|
|
|
|
ESP32-only: several of these symbols are mangled for a 32-bit ABI (`j` = `unsigned int`, used
|
|
here to represent `size_t`). On a 64-bit host those would mangle differently (e.g. `_Znwm`
|
|
instead of `_Znwj`), so this module doesn't build for the POSIX simulator.
|
|
|
|
## Supported symbols
|
|
|
|
### Compiler/runtime ABI support
|
|
|
|
- `operator new(unsigned int)` / `operator delete(void*, unsigned int)` (`_Znwj` / `_ZdlPvj`)
|
|
- `operator new[](unsigned int)` / `operator delete[](void*, unsigned int)` (`_Znaj` / `_ZdaPvj`)
|
|
- `operator delete(void*)` / `operator delete[](void*)` (`_ZdlPv` / `_ZdaPv`) - the unsized forms,
|
|
used instead of the above when the compiler determines no size is needed
|
|
- `std::nothrow`
|
|
- `__cxa_pure_virtual` - called through a pure-virtual slot before a derived class's vtable is
|
|
fully constructed; see [Bare metal C++](https://arobenko.github.io/bare_metal_cpp/).
|
|
- `__cxa_guard_acquire` / `__cxa_guard_release` / `__cxa_guard_abort` / `__cxa_guard_dummy` -
|
|
thread-safe one-time initialization of function-local `static` variables.
|
|
|
|
### libstdc++ exception helpers
|
|
|
|
Out-of-line `std::__throw_*` functions libstdc++ headers call instead of throwing directly, to
|
|
keep the throw site small:
|
|
|
|
- `std::__throw_bad_alloc`
|
|
- `std::__throw_bad_array_new_length`
|
|
- `std::__throw_bad_function_call`
|
|
- `std::__throw_length_error`
|
|
- `std::__throw_logic_error`
|
|
- `std::__throw_out_of_range_fmt`
|
|
- `std::__throw_system_error`
|
|
|
|
### `std::map` / `std::set` (red-black tree internals)
|
|
|
|
Non-template helpers shared by every `std::map`/`std::set` instantiation:
|
|
|
|
- `std::_Rb_tree_increment` / `std::_Rb_tree_decrement`
|
|
- `std::_Rb_tree_insert_and_rebalance`
|
|
|
|
### `std::string`
|
|
|
|
Most of the common out-of-line member set (this class ends up entirely out-of-line for any app
|
|
built at C++17 or earlier - see `extern template class basic_string<char>` in libstdc++'s
|
|
`bits/basic_string.tcc`):
|
|
|
|
- `_M_replace_cold`, `_M_replace`, `_M_mutate`, `_M_append`, `_M_erase`, `_M_assign`,
|
|
`_M_create`, `_M_dispose`, `_M_construct<const char*>`
|
|
- `substr`, `find`, `reserve`, `append` (both overloads), `assign`, `push_back`, `pop_back`,
|
|
`operator=(basic_string&&)`
|
|
- `_S_copy`, `_S_move` (static helpers)
|
|
- Free functions returning `basic_string<char>` by value: `__str_concat`, `operator+(basic_string
|
|
const&, const char*)`
|
|
|
|
- `(basic_string const&, pos, len)` and `(const char*, allocator const&)` constructors -
|
|
implemented directly rather than exported by address (see below), since GCC doesn't emit a
|
|
standalone definition for either.
|
|
|
|
**Not supported: the move constructor.** Like the two constructors above, GCC never emits a
|
|
standalone out-of-line definition for it in a C++20+ build - it's a pure header-inline forwarder
|
|
with no real function body to take the address of, even when this module's own code is made to
|
|
call it directly. If it turns out to be needed, implement it the same way as the other two: write
|
|
a small function whose body does the equivalent construction via placement-new (`new (self)
|
|
std::string(...)`), and register its address manually under the mangled name(s) in `SYMBOLS[]`
|
|
(the compiler inlines the real header logic into that function, producing a genuine addressable
|
|
symbol - the same trick used for `_M_replace_cold` and friends, except *we* supply the body
|
|
instead of pointing at one the library already provides). An app whose loaded ELF needs it will
|
|
still fail with `Can't find common ...C1.../...C2.../...C5...`.
|
|
|
|
## Adding a new symbol
|
|
|
|
1. Find the mangled name (`nm`/`c++filt`, or the linker's "undefined reference" error from an
|
|
app build).
|
|
2. Add an `extern "C"` declaration for it in `source/module.cpp` if the name isn't already a
|
|
valid identifier you can reference directly (mangled names usually are, e.g. `_ZSt19...`).
|
|
3. Add a `DEFINE_MODULE_SYMBOL(...)` entry (or a manual `{ "mangled_name", (void*)&expr }` pair
|
|
when the address isn't reachable through the mangled identifier itself, e.g. `std::nothrow`
|
|
or the `__throw_*` functions).
