Hi, I wonder if it is possible to remove all the vgaemu trickery. Namely: - all vgaemu logic and hooks in cpuemu - all the vgaemu logic and hooks in a signal handler, which also includes instremu.c AFAIK
I wonder if something trivial can work instead. And I mean _really_ trivial. :) For example: - the signal handler just records what page have faulted, and unprotects it. - all the subsequent writes to that page are uncaught, so they are fast, but without a screen update - the main dosemu loop later checks the list of the faulted pages, compares their content to their old copy stored elsewhere, and, for every mismatch, calls the vgaemu_write_xxx(), which would also update the backed-up copy. - maybe the port writes should then be delayed too, if the order of operations is important, but I don't think this is the case. I am certainly missing something here, but I still beleive we can have a clean code, without a vgaemu stuff spread all around. The recent cpuemu bugs were because of the missing vgaemu hooks, for instance. And having the entire instremu.c, just for that? There _must_ be some magic way to throw all the mess to the trash can. Or at least I hope so. :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Everyone hates slow websites. So do we.
