HAL reorganisation
by Ge van Geldorp 02 Dec '04

02 Dec '04

As most of you know, I'm dabbling around a little bit with a port of ReactOS to the Xbox. I think most of the differences between a standard PC and the Xbox can be handled by using a custom HAL for the Xbox, after all, that's what the HAL is for. At the moment, we build 1 HAL, based on the value of MP in config it's either a UniProcessor HAL or a MultiProcessor HAL. Which code is compiled is based on preprocessor statements. I'd like to be able to build 3 HALs in parallel, the UP, MP and Xbox HALs. When installing ("make install"), the correct HAL would be selected based on the MP config var. When creating a boot cd, all three would be copied to the CD and the setup program would select the correct one to copy to the harddisk. This will allow us to build a single boot CD for different configurations. I'm aware that we'll need a NTKRNLMP.EXE on the boot CD too (I will try very very hard not to need a different kernel for Xbox) for this "single boot CD" idea to work, but that's a different problem and I'd like to tackle that later. The three HALs will share a lot of the code. To avoid code duplication, I propose to create a directory structure like this: hal | --- hal | --- halx86 | | | +----- generic | | | | | +----- include | | | +----- up | | | +----- mp | | | +----- xbox | +-- hal68k :-) | +-- etc... The "generic" subdir will contain most of the code. The "up" subdir will contain mostly simple .c files which just include a .c file from generic. For example, the HalMakeBeep() function will be defined in generic/beep.c. In "up" there will be a file beep_up.c which contains only 'include "beep.c"', which will be compiled with the include path set to "../generic". The "mp" and "xbox" directories can either include "generic" files or have their own implementation of a given routine (e.g. display_xbox.c for HalDisplay* functions on the Xbox). Doing it this way we should have little code duplication and our dependency tracking system should work. Comments? Gé van Geldorp.

DirectX
by Maarten Bosma 02 Dec '04

02 Dec '04

Hi, I have started coding the Direct3d 9 dll. It isn't something usable yet, but only a few kernel calls have to be made to run the first (very simple) Direct3D program. I have already looked up those functions, but most of them need some huge structs as parameters. At the moment I don't have the time to work on it. Maybe one of you would like to do so. But be warned this is the first time that i am working on an open source project and my coding style isn't the best. Maarten Bosma

RE: [ros-dev] Very bad Idea.

Hi Robert: How are you? I think that putting a little generated file won´t hurt, notice that you could add a warning like /* ======================================== this is a machine generated code modify xfile.l instead ========================================*/ I think that dealing with bison could make the build system a little more complex and remember that with the current one some people gets confused when starting. In fact lots of compilers source packages have both files in case you want to modify grammar rules the (.l .lex .y .ycc) and the .c in case you don´t have a parser generator, the gcc team does that and they are not the only ones, so seems to be a good choice. Regards Waldo Alvarez ________________________________ From: ros-dev-bounces(a)reactos.com on behalf of Robert Köpferl Sent: Wed 12/1/2004 4:16 PM To: ReactOS Development List Subject: [ros-dev] Very bad Idea. Sorry guys, but some of you never heared about (lets say) compiler and code. Never, never import generated artifacts into a VCS. The only thing allowed is doc and code (models). At a generated peace of code is not worked on (one mustn't). Instead one has to work on it's model (its source). This sadly implies that the matching tool (a compiler/transformer) must be available. As you mentioned: People will start working on generated code (baaaad). Also I hate projects where establishing a build env. seems like programming an app. But you can't ascribe everything back to Gcc as a minimum dominator. Gcc is not the high-level language to produce parsers. Try to run a make script with gcc :-/ Thus I am for adding bison to our tool list and against importing generated code (=not source). And think: Bison is litle more C++ affine than a Pascal compiler or the like. In my sight it's not harder than providing an archive which contains bison beneath mingw etc. If you want me to, I'd create that archive.

Hi Ge: Now that you talk it think that if some port is to be done that would be the ideal been a lot like the PC. IMHO the next could be a little endian well known arch.

CXBX would not be suitable for developing ROS. CXBX doesn't try to emulate any of the hardware of an Xbox, it instead tries to convert an xbox executable (xbe) into a windows executable (exe). The conversion is done by locating DirectX calls in the xbe (Note: On an xbox the executables are directly linked to the DirectX libraries) and redirecting them appropriately under windows. -----Original Message----- From: Richard Campbell [mailto:eek2121@comcast.net] Sent: 01 December 2004 09:31 To: ReactOS Development List Subject: Re: [ros-dev] HAL reorganisation Keep in mind there is an XBOX emulator: CXBX available at http://www.caustik.com/cxbx/, that, though incomplete, runs at least 1 commercial game and might be complete enough to run an xbox port of ROS. Also, i'm sure you already know about the OpenXDK at http://www.openxdk.org/.
