This document describes the change and the tools provided -to assist you in updating your RTEMS 3.1.0 application. - -[NOTE: This change was not included in snapshots prior to 3.1.15.] - -DESCRIPTION OF NAME CHANGES: -============================ - -The primary change was the addition of the prefix "rtems_" or "RTEMS_" to -EVERY user visible RTEMS provided constant and routine. The primary -factor in the decision to make such a sweeping change was conflicts -between the the RTEMS and POSIX API's. - - -TO UPDATE YOUR APPLICATION: -=========================== - -The update script requires that Perl be installed on your computer. -It has only been tested with Perl 5.x. - -After RTEMS has been built, in the directory "$r/<BSP>/update_tools", will -be a set of tools to aid in making the application source changes necessary -to address (hopefully) all of the name changes in the RTEMS API between -releases 3.1.0 and 3.2.0. - -The update shell script is the only executable which is invoked by the -user directly. The word-replace Perl script is invoked by the update -shell script. - -WARNING: These tools modify the files IN PLACE!!! Backup your - source before using these tools. - -To udpate your application, change directories to the top of your application -source tree and execute the update script. It should be something similar -to the following: - -cd MY_APP -$r/<BSP>/update-tools/update - -The update script will ask if you have backed up your source code before -beginning the update process. While operating on files, it will print -the name of each file and a dot for each change made to the source file. - -NOTE: These scripts do not attempt to address changes in calling - sequences. After the script has run, you will need to update - calls to rtems_clock_get(), rtems_timer_fire_after(), and - rtems_timer_fire_when() by hand. |
