This is exciting, thank you.
Can you please mention how this compares/contrasts with
streamer/sampler, which have been factored into hal_stream_XXX API calls
in our master branch?
>From what I can see,
- hal "streams" are typed
- hal "streams" are agreed on by allocating small integers, not names
- hal "streams" storage are outside of the primary HAL shared memory area
.. it looks like
- hal "ports" are untyped (byte oriented)
- hal "ports" are named
- hal "ports" storage are inside the primary HAL shared memory area
I didn't actually spot the implementation of 'halcmd portsize', just the
addition of it to halcmd's help message
+ printf(" portsize Get/Set the buffer size of a port signal\n");
I would love it if there were manpages for these new functions. You can
write manpages in good old fashioned roff style in docs/man/man3/*.3hal or
in more modern asciidoc style in docs/src/man/man3/*.txt. Ask if you
need help with markup or Makefiles, some (Sub)makefile might be needed
for asciidoc pages.
