Reordered struct members to not waste memory due to padding.
Before:
``` C
typedef struct {
uint8_t src_l2addr_len;
uint8_t dst_l2addr_len;
kernel_pid_t if_pid; // <-- 16 bit, is aligned to 16 bit
uint8_t flags;
uint8_t __padding_byte; // <-- Inserted to fulfill padding requirements
int16_t rssi; // <-- 16 bit, is NOT aligned to 16 bit
uint8_t lqi;
uint8_t __padding_byte2;// <-- Inserted to fulfill padding requirements
} gnrc_netif_hdr_t;
```
Now:
``` C
typedef struct {
uint8_t src_l2addr_len;
uint8_t dst_l2addr_len;
kernel_pid_t if_pid; // <-- 16 bit, is aligned to 16 bit
uint8_t flags;
uint8_t lqi;
int16_t rssi; // <-- 16 bit, is aligned to 16 bit
} gnrc_netif_hdr_t;
```
When build for the `bluepill` board, the new layout reduces the size by 2 bytes.
Change the API to use int32_t instead of int, to allow for greater
flexibility on 8- and 16-bit platforms. Removed limitation on input
arguments that min < max. Times where it can be useful to have min > max
is when measuring a sensor where a higher measured voltage means a lower
physical value. For example a thermistor can be connected so that the
measured voltage goes down when the temperature goes up.
RFC 2460 was obsoleted by RFC 8200. This PR changes the references
around, so we don't reference an obsoleted RFC ;-).
Also I'm moving these references from the old-style HTML-like format
to the newer-style Markdown-like format.
Documentation of the option types was clarified in #8655. I only noticed
after merging #8884, that `NETOPT_BLE_CTX` was not documented using
that new style. So I deliver the change myself to make it quicker.
Skald is a very small and simple, TX-only BLE stack that supports
sending advertisements only. It is useful for building all kinds
of BLE beacons with very minimal memory footprints.
This removes all references of the `sys_util` documentation group which
does not exist. Due to it being referenced by some module
documentations there were some cases where the rendered doc was broken:
* `div` did not appear in the list of modules
* `iolist` appeared on top level of the module tree
