# 186789 05-Jan-2009 luigi

This patch introduces a number of simplifications to the Forth
functions used in the bootloader. The goal is to make the code more
readable and smaller (especially because we have size issues
in the loader's environment).

High level description of the changes:
+ define some string manipulation functions to improve readability;
+ create functions to manipulate module descriptors, removing some
duplicated code;
+ rename the error codes to ESOMETHING;
+ consistently use set_environment_variable (which evaluates
$variables) when interpreting variable=value assignments;

I have tested the code, but there might be code paths that I have
not traversed so please let me know of any issues.

Details of this change:

--- loader.4th ---
+ add some module operators, to remove duplicated code while parsing
module-related commands:

set-module-flag
enable-module
disable-module
toggle-module
show-module

--- pnp.4th ---
+ move here the definition related to the pnp devices list, e.g.
STAILQ_* , pnpident, pnpinfo

--- support.4th ---
+ rename error codes to capital e.g. ENOMEM EFREE ... and do obvious
changes related to the renaming;
+ remove unused structures (those relevant to pnp are moved to pnp.4th)
+ various string functions
- strlen removed (it is an internal function)
- strchr, defined as the C function
- strtype -- type a string to output
- strref -- assign a reference to the string on the stack
- unquote -- remove quotes from a string

+ remove reset_line_buffer

+ move up the 'set_environment_variable' function (which now
uses the interpreter, so $variables are evaluated).
Use the function in various places

+ add a 'test_file function' for debugging purposes

# 87636 11-Dec-2001 jhb

- Add 'fwrite' and 'fseek' words for writing to and seeking on files.
- Change the 'fopen' keyword to accept a mode parameter. Note that this
will break existing 4th scripts that use fopen. Thus, the loader
version has been bumped and loader.4th has been changed to check for a
sufficient version on i386 and alpha. Be sure that you either do a full
world build or install or full build and install of sys/boot after this
since loader.old won't work with the new 4th files and vice versa.

# 65618 08-Sep-2000 dcs

Strictly speaking, this works. It enumarates the PnP devices, and
load the modules needed according to a file relating module names
(actually, _file_ names, not really modules -- the dependency
stuff is not exported to loader's UI) to PnP IDs.

But it still lacks a number of desired features, and it's too crude
for my tastes. But since I don't have time to work on it, it might
be preferable to make it available to those who might. It's not
installed by default, much less loaded. In fact, it wouldn't even
had a copyright message (who? me? assume responsibility for _this_?),
if the cvs commit hadn't aborted for lack of $FreeBSD$, and I decided
to just cut&paste the stuff from elsewhere.
