functions for converting between host and network byte order. These
names are the de facto standard names for this functionality because
of the original BSD TCP/IP implementation. But they cause problems for
uIP/Contiki: some platforms define these names themselves (Mac OS,
most notably), causing compilation problems for Contiki on those
platforms.
This commit changes all htons to uip_htons instead. Same goes for
htonl, ntohs, and ntohl. All-caps versions as well.
The WinPcap driver presumes to be obligatory for the application. Therefore it quits the whole application if it can't initialize successfully.
In former times the WinPcap driver required a cmdline parameter to initialize properly. The netsim target presumably doesn't consider the WinPcap driver obligatory for its applications so it checks the cmdline and starts the WinPcap driver only if it finds the WinPcap cmdline parameter present. Thus it prevents the WinPcap driver from failing to initialize which brings down the whole application.
However recently the WinPcap driver was changed to just use some default value if its cmdline parameter isn't found. So there's no more need to keep WinPcap from starting just to make sure it doesn't bring down the whole application. The presumption behind all this reasoning is that a WinPcap driver running with some (potentially wrong) default isn't worse than a WinPcap driver not running at all.
Now tcpip_output() is a function pointer that is supposed to be set via the macro tcpip_set_outputfunc(). Packet drivers do so on process startup.
Thus if there are several packet drivers in a Contiki system the one started last is the one actually used. This behaviour is especially useful for the 'IP forwarding' "meta" packet driver.
This change means that one needs to select _ONE_ cfs implementation at Contiki library link time. But this doesn't appear to be an issue as all platforms have their "favorite" implementation anyway.
- Search target specific directories before CPU specific directories.
- Search CPU specific directories before generic directories.
Note: I checked several builds but nevertheless one or the other might need some additional adjustsments. Sorry for the inconvenience.
