Unless the way I implemented the newlib libc.(a|so) stub functions was changed only a new startup code (crtbegin) using interface "spe" instead of "main" should be required.

Yes, that should still work.

Also libc libraries (newlib/clib) needs to be recompiled for P1222 support, we need new sdk to produce the right binaries for A1222 without any workaround.

A special SPE compiled version of newlib.library for the Tabor/A1222 exists since version 53.54 (released to beta testers in October 2019).

The exposed ABI of the library's "main" interface is and has to remain that of generic PPC code (e.g. floating point parameters and results are passed in the emulated FPU registers) because otherwise it wouldn't be possible to run existing non-SPE compiled programs on the A1222.

What might however be possible would be to also expose the SPE ABI functions directly through another "main.spe" interface but in order for it to be usable special versions of the startup code and libc will likely also be needed.

The ABI for SPE code generated by gcc is identical to soft-float ABI in that double precision floats are passed as register pairs (r3/r4, r5/r6, r7/r8, r9/r10) even though for the SPE they could be passed in a single 64-bit register.

Does smb2fs handler support the ACTION_SET_DATE packet?

No, it is not supported because libsmb2 does not have a function to set the mtime of a file or directory.

I've thought about making the operation fail silently instead but that could cause problems for programs that depend on this feature. IMHO it is better to (as happens currently) return ERROR_ACTION_NOT_KNOWN (meaning that the fs does not support the operation) and then the program can itself decide whether this error is critical enough to stop it from continuing or not.

What version of battclock.resource do you have installed ("version full battclock.resource")?

There were some fixes made for the X5000 and A1222 in 2022.

The github repo is only for the AROS/AmigaOS 3 fork of filesysbox.

The AmigaOS 4 version is distributed with the OS and with Enhancer Software only.

Apparently it is possible to set some samba servers to timeout connections after a period of inactivity (for smbd this can be done using the deadtime option in /etc/samba/smb.conf) and smb2fs doesn't handle this situation very well ATM.

Ideally smb2fs should detect this somehow and restart the connection when it happens, but as a quick fix I tried to make smb2fs ping the server at regular intervals using smb2_echo() to keep the connection alive but this didn't seem to help.

Renaming files/directories that only change case status doesn't work

This is fixed in the AmigaOS 4 filesysbox library since version 54.11 (26.12.2022) and in the AROS/AmigaOS 3 library since version 54.1 (14.1.2023).

I take it you're using the libpixman-1 static library that gets built as part of pixman-1.library?

If so, the reason that you are getting the error message when running the program from CLI and exiting is that I use there AllocTaskMemEntry() to implement LTS (local thread storage). The reason I do it this way is that this type of memory gets automatically freed on task/process exit and is easily accessible from the tc_MemEntry list in the Task/Process structure.

The only minor problem is that when a program is started from CLI it is run on the context of the existing CLI process, which then complains if the program returns with this memory allocation still in the tc_MemEntry list. In the shared library I've currently fixed it by adding a call to tls_fast_path_cache_free() in the library Close() function.

For a static build you should be able to fix it by adding a destructor function like so:


void tls_fast_path_cache_free(void);



__attribute__((destructor)) static void _cleanup_pixman(void)

{

    /* Free TLS data */

    tls_fast_path_cache_free();

}

The OpenLibrary() path is wrong. It should be simply "arexx.class" instead of "classes/arexx.class" (there is no classes directory under CLASSES:).

It only works if the class is already loaded in memory because then the path is ignored.

I added A1222/X5000 DMA support to graphics.library in January 2022 (versions 54.250/54.251). In order to work it also needs a newer kernel for the fsldma.resource (if a too old kernel is detected the DMA support code is not used).

Re: AmiUpdate unarchiver question

@Raziel

The PKWARE zip archive format supports several compression methods including zlib (AKA deflate), bzip2, lzma, xz and zstd.

Traditionally zip archives only use zlib compression though, and zip archives that use more advanced methods are generally referred to as zipx archives even though the file format is the same.

The xadmaster.library zip client supports only zlib method but Archiver has it's own zip client that makes use of zip.library which has support for other compression methods, as well as being able to create/modify zip archives and not just read from them.

__lwbrx() sounds like it's an inline assembler function based on the lwbrx instruction. If so, you should be able to replace this instance with:

entriesDataSize = __builtin_bswap32(entriesDataSize);

assuming that you are using a new enough gcc.

I am aware of those functions as they were based on ones I use in my filesysbox. A couple of functions for decoding and encoding UTF-8 characters (that programmers can choose to use or not) does not mean that the OS supports UTF-8 though.

Decoding and encoding UTF-8 sequences has never been a problem on AmigaOS really (even before utility.library support there were several 3rd party libraries available for this, as well as the functions in newlib).

The most important thing that is missing IMO is that there is no way to actually render UTF-8 or unicode using the standard graphics.library text functions. The only way to do so currently is to ignore graphics.library and use the low level bullet interface directly which is really tedious and doesn't work well as a general solution for applications. Until this is solved there is no point in trying to use UTF-8 in locale catalogs as those characters will not render correctly in pretty much any applications at all.

AmigaOS does not support UTF-8 and that is unlikely to change any time soon.

Should a miracle happen and this situation changes at some point it is just a matter of removing/commenting out a line in the filesysbox makefile to disable the UTF-8 to/from local charset conversion.

Unlike the old attempt at charset conversion this one:
1. Queries what charset is used on the system and uses the unicode maptable for that charset.
2. Unicode values that can't be converted into the local charset are converted into base32 escape sequences that can be converted back into the original UTF-8.
3. Conversion only happens when strings are passed between AmigaDOS and filesysbox. Internally filesysbox uses only UTF-8 file names.

I implemented it because I got tired of literally everyone's initial reaction to trying a FUSE file system being to ask why it doesn't handle UTF-8 characters, even though it handles them just fine (just nothing else did or does).

If I understand correctly, FileSysbox should handle the translation from UTF-8 to the local (latin-1) charset. Does this also work on AmigaOS 4?

I have a share with some non latin-1 chars (music files) that only works correctly with smbfs (the old one) on AmigaOS 4. Both ssh2-handler and smb2fs-handler cannot handle the UTF-8 filenames.

Filesnames are correct with the latest filesysbox and smb2-handler on my Amiga with a 68020 and AmigaOS 3.2.1.

Filesysbox.library has the version 54.9 on my Amiga X5000.

For AmigaOS 4 charset conversion was added in version 54.12 of filesysbox.library that was released to beta testers only just under two weeks ago (6.1.2023).

When you say "booting" do you mean that you have it auto-mounted from DEVS:DOSDrivers? If so it will not work because this is too early and there is no usable network connection yet.

Maybe in a later version I will make it keep trying every x seconds to connect if it fails the first time, but right now it only makes one attempt at connecting to the share and if that fails it gives up.

To get more information on why it is failing you have to capture the serial debug output using sashimi/dumpdebugbuffer or a null-modem cable.

No, not yet. The reason is that smb2-handler doesn't support either utime() or utimens() FUSE operations as I have not find a way to implement them using libsmb2.

As a result any call to IDOS->SetDate() will result in ERROR_ACTION_NOT_KNOWN.

Smb2-handler uses regular gethostbyname() from bsdsocket.library to resolve the host name into an IP address (same as ssh2-handler).

To avoid having to use IP addresses I have on my computers in DEVS:Internet/hosts (/etc/hosts on linux) the host names and corresponding static IP addresses of machines on my local network.
