Since the 4-byte CPU ID on native is in most cases generated from the 2-byte
PID of the native process, choosing the lower half of the hash of the CPU ID to
set the radio address led to always setting it to the hash of 0 in this
cases. This changes it to use both halves of the hash and taking the
modulus so this corner cases can be avoided.
udp_recvfrom wrote the sender port number in host byte order into the
provided sockaddr6_t. Because all send functions expect the port number
in network byte order this introduces a superfluous conversion step in
case one wants to reuse the address for replying.
closes#1406
Added debug output that warns about packets that are dropped
because the transceiver buffer was full or because the transceiver
failed to notify aiting upper layers.
Boards should define HWTIMER_SPIN_BARRIER that is used to decide
whether it makes sense to set a timer and yield or call hwtimer_spin
instead.
Used by `core/hwtimer.c` and `sys/vtimer/vtimer.c`.
A default value is provided and a warning is printed when it is used.
`bloom_t` is defined as a struct.
`_t` can mislead the user to think of bloom_t
as a typedef (see our coding conventions) instead of a struct.
Thus, I modified `struct bloom_t` to be a *typedefed* struct.
Another solution would be to rename bloom_t to sth. like bloom_s
everywhere and use `struct bloom_s` instead of `bloom_t`.
Currently, the tcp and udp implementations are bound to each other in a
module called *destiny*. Thus, when using only one of them then the
other one gets also compiled into the binary and initialized,
which results in unnecessary RAM usage and workload for the CPU.
The approach in this PR defines a common module named *socket_base*,
which contains functions used by the posix layer. Compiled by it's own,
those functions return negative error codes, to symbolize upper layers
that they are not supported. When also including the modules *udp* or
*tcp* respectively, functions from *socket_base* get overwritten with the
correct functionality.
Defining *udp* or *tcp* in a Makefile also includes *socket_base*.
Defining *pnet* in a Makefile also includes *socket_base*.
