This commit adds runtime assertions to validate that the total length of
the configuration descriptor as communicated to the host device matches the
generated length of the configuration descriptor.
The RTT callback for a super-frame cycle uses the `arg` pointer to set
the message value that then is handed to the GoMacH thread. However,
in both instances the timer is scheduled the constant
`GNRC_GOMACH_EVENT_RTT_NEW_CYCLE` is provided. This means the argument
is not really necessary.
The ubjson module has a number of quality defects and is unsafe.
Considering CBOR is popular, standarized and supported in RIOT and that
the ubjson implementation is a home-grown one whose API will likely be
unfamiliar to new users, I propose to delete it.
This removal, of course, dows not have to be NOW. We can deprecate it for
one or two releases before.
What's wrong with this module?
- Unsafe: the parsing is done recursively. This is embedded in the API, so it
is not possible to fix it without changing the API. A document with too much
nesting can cause a stack overflow.
- Does not validate writing: it is possible to produce invalid output. From
the docs:
> The library won't complain if you write multiple values that are not
> inside an array or object. The result will just not be properly serialized.
- Poorly tested. As shown by #11702, #11703 the tests were not even detecting
that a False was stored as True.
- In line with the previous remark, see
68dc5b0d6e/tests/unittests/tests-ubjson/tests-ubjson.c (L66-L77)
Why is the following code in the unit tests??
```c
irq_disable();
sched_set_status(data->main_thread, STATUS_PENDING);
```
- #2175 is still unfixed after 3.5 years.
- Code quality. The code has multiline macros that assign variables and
return. See c332514875/sys/ubjson/ubjson-write.c (L34-L41)
Can we mark it as deprecated this release and sweep it in the following one?
This fits with the semantics of this function which doesn't provide or
uses any state of the reassembly buffer provided by the user, but finds
the entry itself and then removes it. This gives the user no chance to
remove the packet in the reassembly buffer entry, so
`gnrc_sixlowpan_frag_rb_rm_by_datagram()` has to release the packet
(other than `gnrc_sixlowpan_frag_rb_remove()` where not releasing the
packet is desired as it might be handed up to an upper layer).
Prevent a possible race condition when _mutex_timeout fires just after the
mutex was locked but before the xtimer was removed
The flow
int xtimer_mutex_lock_timeout(mutex_t *mutex, uint64_t timeout) {
...
mutex_lock(mutex);
/* mutex locked */
/* _mutex_timeout fires and tries to remove thread from mutex queue */
/* DEBUG: simulate callback call between lock and remove */
xtimer_spin(xtimer_ticks_from_usec(timeout*2));
xtimer_remove(&t);
...
}
To make it possible to use an Arduino library, a new pseudomodule arduino_lib is introduced. This pseudomodule enables implicitly module arduino but avoids that a sketch is required or generated and compiled. Thus, it is possible to compile and use a package or directory with some source files from an Arduino library in RIOT applications.
Preprocesor fails to evaluate the if condicion on L91-92 because
RTT_FREQUENCY is not defined, and therefore a division by 0 occurs.
TO avoid this replicate the RTT_FREQUENCY undefined warning.
Currently the bitfield type mixes up the order of bits: While the byte
order is big-endian (most significant byte first), the bit order of each
single byte within the bitfield is little-endian (most significant bit
last). While this isn't a problem for most applications of the bitfield
type it becomes one when sending the bitfield over the network (as done
e.g. in the [ACKs of Selective Fragment Recovery][SFR-ACKs]).
This change unifies byte order and bit order to both be most
significant bX first.

Right now 'ipv6_addr_split_iface' assumes that the interface specifier
will always be a number (based on GNRC way of identifying interfaces),
but this may not be always the case.In order to be able to use the
Network Interface API, interfaces should be referred by their name.
This changes 'ipv6_addr_split_iface' so it returns a pointer to the
string that specifies the interface.
45f7966 made the `src_len` field the "emptiness signifier" for the VRB.
However, when `gnrc_sixlowpan_frag` is compiled in, the remove function
`gnrc_sixlowpan_frag_vrb_rm()` does not set the `src_len` to zero,
resulting in already deleted entry to be recognized as non-empty.
