| Description: | ||||
| Dear Roy, thank you for great tcl2c.tcl and its framework. I am learning each day and digging miself through the mechanisms. Sorry to be a novice. And sorry to use Microsoft compilers. The compiler MS-VC2015 (VC9) has a string constant size limit of 65535 characters. A possibility to avoid this limit is to use an array of characters, which have a limit of size_z = 0x7CFFFFFF. The patch below changes dir2c.tcl to output each file within one character array named  cvfs_data_$idx as follows: <verbatim> /* Data of boot.tcl */ static unsigned char cvfs_data_2[] = { 0x70, 0x72, 0x6f, 0x63, 0x20, 0x74, 0x63, 0x6c, 0x49, 0x6e, 0x69, 0x74, 0x20, 0x7b, 0x7d, 0x20, ... static struct cvfs_data cvfs_tcl_data[] = { ...     { /* name */ "boot.tcl", /* index */ 2, /* type */ CVFS_FILETYPE_FILE, /* size */ 2887, /* data */ cvfs_data_2, /* free */ 0, }, </verbatim> The patch allows to use this for all files or files larger than the character length limit. I may miss another disadvantage of this method. I suppose, it only avoids the implicite trailing zero byte. Thank you, Harald Patch: <verbatim> --- C:/Users/oehhar/AppData/Local/Temp/dir2c.tcl-revBASE.svn001.tmp.tcl    Fri Apr 17 17:29:24 2020 +++ C:/oehhar/elmicron/projekte/el1005_scanlink_dll/source/c-vfs/dir2c.tcl Mon Apr 20 17:30:25 2020 @@ -66,26 +66,44 @@ proc stringify {data} { set ret "\"" for {set idx 0} {$idx < [string length $data]} {incr idx} { binary scan [string index $data $idx] H* char append ret "\\x${char}" - if {($idx % 20) == 0 && $idx != 0} { + if {(($idx+1) % 20) == 0} { append ret "\"\n\"" } } set ret [string trim $ret "\n\""] set ret "\"$ret\"" return $ret } +# Convert data to a character array +proc character_array {data} { + set ret "\{\n\t" + for {set idx 0} {$idx < [string length $data]} {incr idx} { + binary scan [string index $data $idx] H* char + append ret "0x${char}, " + + if {(($idx+1) % 16) == 0 } { + append ret "\n\t" + } + } + set ret [string trimright $ret "\n, \t"] + + append ret "\n\}" + + return $ret +} + # Encrypt the data proc random_byte {} { set value [expr {int(256 * rand())}] return $value } @@ -303,64 +321,80 @@ return(0); } # endif /* !LOADED_CVFS_COMMON */} puts "" -puts "static struct cvfs_data ${code_tag}_data\[\] = {" -puts "\t{" -puts "\t\t/* Index 0 cannot be used because we use the value 0 to represent failure */" -puts "\t\t/* name */ NULL," -puts "\t\t/* index */ 0," -puts "\t\t/* type */ 0," -puts "\t\t/* size */ 0," -puts "\t\t/* data */ NULL," -puts "\t\t/* free */ 0," -puts "\t}," +# C struct data output buffer (must be delayed after definition of file data) +set struct_data "" + for {set idx 1} {$idx < [llength $files]} {incr idx} { set file [lindex $files $idx] set shortfile [shorten_file $startdir $file] unset -nocomplain finfo type file stat $file finfo switch -- $finfo(type) { "file" { set size $finfo(size) set fd [open $file] fconfigure $fd -translation binary - set data [read $fd] + set data_in [read $fd] close $fd if {$obsfucate} { set type "CVFS_FILETYPE_ENCRYPTED_FILE" - set data "(unsigned char *) [stringify [encrypt $data $obsfucation_key]]" + set data_in [encrypt $data $obsfucation_key] } else { set type "CVFS_FILETYPE_FILE" - set data "(unsigned char *) [stringify $data]" } + # Microsoft VC9 compiler has a string limit of 65535 bytes + # so put all larger files into an array which has a higher + # string limit + #if {$size <= 65535} { + # set data "(unsigned char *) [stringify $data_in]" + #} else { + puts "/* Data of $shortfile */" + set variable_name cvfs_data_$idx + set data $variable_name + puts "static unsigned char ${variable_name}\[\] =\ + [character_array $data_in];" + #} } "directory" { set type "CVFS_FILETYPE_DIR" set data "NULL" set size 0 } } - puts "\t{" - puts "\t\t/* name */ \"$shortfile\"," - puts "\t\t/* index */ $idx," - puts "\t\t/* type */ $type," - puts "\t\t/* size */ $size," - puts "\t\t/* data */ $data," - puts "\t\t/* free */ 0," - puts "\t}," + append struct_data "\t{\n"\ + "\t\t/* name */ \"$shortfile\",\n"\ + "\t\t/* index */ $idx,\n"\ + "\t\t/* type */ $type,\n"\ + "\t\t/* size */ $size,\n"\ + "\t\t/* data */ $data,\n"\ + "\t\t/* free */ 0,\n"\ + "\t},\n" } +puts "" +puts "static struct cvfs_data ${code_tag}_data\[\] = {" +puts "\t{" +puts "\t\t/* Index 0 cannot be used because we use the value 0 to represent failure */" +puts "\t\t/* name */ NULL," +puts "\t\t/* index */ 0," +puts "\t\t/* type */ 0," +puts "\t\t/* size */ 0," +puts "\t\t/* data */ NULL," +puts "\t\t/* free */ 0," +puts "\t}," +puts -nonewline $struct_data puts "};" puts "" puts "static unsigned long ${code_tag}_lookup_index(const char *path) {" puts "\tswitch (cvfs_hash((unsigned char *) path)) {" for {set idx 1} {$idx < [llength $files]} {incr idx} { </verbatim> | ||||
