Summary of changes for version 20031002: 1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem: Fixed a problem with Index Fields where the index was not incremented for fields that require multiple writes to the index/data registers (Fields that are wider than the data register.) Fixed a problem with all Field objects where a write could go beyond the end-of-field if the field was larger than the access granularity and therefore required multiple writes to complete the request. An extra write beyond the end of the field could happen inadvertently. Fixed a problem with Index Fields where a BUFFER_OVERFLOW error would incorrectly be returned if the width of the Data Register was larger than the specified field access width. Completed fixes for LoadTable() and Unload() and verified their operation. Implemented full support for the "DdbHandle" object throughout the ACPI CA subsystem. Implemented full support for the MADT and ECDT tables in the ACPI CA header files. Even though these tables are not directly consumed by ACPI CA, the header definitions are useful for ACPI device drivers. Integrated resource descriptor fixes posted to the Linux ACPI list. This included checks for minimum descriptor length, and support for trailing NULL strings within descriptors that have optional string elements. Fixed a problem where the SMI_CMD register could be written even if it was not supported on the platform (when FADT.SMI_CMD is zero) Code and Data Size: Current and previous core subsystem library sizes are shown below. These are the code and data sizes for the acpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 compiler, and these values do not include any ACPI driver or OSPM code. The debug version of the code includes the debug output trace mechanism and has a much larger code and data size. Note that these values will vary depending on the efficiency of the compiler and the compiler options used during generation. ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf
