When size=0 was passed to memset() or memcpy(), the loop bound
`0 to size-1` underflowed to $FFFFFFFF, iterating ~4 billion times
and causing an immediate page fault.
Added `if size = 0 then exit` guards to both memset() and memcpy()
in util.pas.
Also guarded all `for i:=0 to X-1` loops in strings.pas where X
could be 0 on empty string inputs:
- stringToUpper: wrap loop in `if stringSize > 0`
- stringToLower: wrap loop in `if stringSize > 0`
- stringEquals: early exit when both sizes are 0
- stringToInt: early exit when string is empty
Additionally fixed all previously identified bugs in strings.pas:
- hexStringToInt: guard against empty string underflow
- stringConcat: cache stringSize calls to avoid redundant O(n) scans
- stringTrim: clamp length to source string size
- stringSub: bounds check start/size against source length
- stringReplace: complete rewrite - was using stringEquals() for
substring matching (only matched at string end), dropped prefix
chars, had dangling assignment overwriting valid result with
uninitialized pointer, and had unused variable
- stringIndexOf: rewritten to use new stringMatchAt() helper for
correct substring matching
- stringContains: simplified to delegate to fixed stringIndexOf(),
also fixing uint32 underflow when sub was empty
- stringToInt: removed always-true `v >= 0` check on uint32
- intToString: implemented (was a stub returning ' ')
- Added stringMatchAt() helper for prefix comparison
- Added comprehensive UnitTest procedure with 77 assertions
including adversarial empty/nil/boundary inputs
refactor(stdio): replace console/terminal command system with buffer-based stdio
- Introduced stdio.pas as the unified command I/O layer.
- All 31 command procedures across 15 files now receive stdin_buf,
stdout_buf, and stderr_buf (POutBuf) instead of a single outbuf.
- vterminal.pas creates all three buffers per command invocation and
displays both stdout and stderr.
- Deleted console.pas, terminal.pas, and 9 obsolete windowing programs
(shell, splash, edit, memview, themer, netlog, vmlog, vmstate, udpcat).
- Migrated all registerCommand calls to stdio, rewrote vterminal
processCommand to use stdio.findCommand, and added proper error
routing to stderr for invalid params, bad paths, and system errors.
refactor(syslog): replace console logging with serial-backed syslog
- Introduced syslog.pas for kernel-level logging over serial/dev.
- Migrated all boot logging in kernel.pas from console.outputln/
writestringln to syslog.logln/writestringln.
- Converted 19 fault handlers, hashmap, lists, scheduler, tracer, net,
udp, and all driver init paths to use syslog.
- Rewrote BSOD in util.pas (50+ calls) from console to syslog.
- Removed CONSOLE_SLOW_REDRAW, TRGB565, TRGB565Pair, and HWND
from system.pas.
fix(keyboard): add ring buffer and proper press/release cycling for LVGL input
- Replaced the single last_key/key_pressed slot in lvgl.pas with a
16-entry ring buffer (kb_buf, kb_head, kb_tail) to prevent ISR
overwrites when typing fast.
- Added a kb_pending_release flag so each keystroke gets a
full PRESSED->RELEASED cycle before the next key is consumed —
LVGL requires this pairing and was silently dropping intermediate
keys when receiving consecutive PRESSED events without
intervening releases.
feat(vterminal): use Hack monospace font for terminal output
- Added Hack Regular 14px (hack_14.c) as a custom LVGL font.
- Removed the .static_bitmap field from the generated font file
(not present in LVGL 9.2 lv_font_t struct).
- Declared the hack_14 external symbol in lvgl.pas and switched
vterminal's text label from lv_font_montserrat_14 to hack_14
for proper monospace terminal rendering.
Started outlining how the modular driver set will look for video drawing routines. Currently supports Drawing pixels to the screen & Flushing backbuffer -> frontbuffer.
Still very much test code, tracer is used everywhere for debugging, NOT DEVELOP READY.
Many more draw routines need implementing - such as, but not limited to; drawRect, drawBitmap, drawLine, drawCurve, drawCircle.
TODO: Implement the aforementioned routines in all VESA modes + WindowManager.
Modified the linker script + Added an init function to System.pas to be called at system boot, this allows tracking of the Kernel start & end addresses, and thus, allows us to calculate the kernel size.
Added the apache license to all source files, accounting for authors. Also added a license.md containing the apache license + contributors.md listing all contributors.
