Minmal running example

[emoon]

Hi,

I'm trying to get vAmiga (own instance) up and running and what I currently have (running under linux) is something like this

    Amiga* amiga = new Amiga;
    amiga->mem.loadRomFromFile("/path/to/rom");
    amiga->mem.allocChip(512 * 1024);
    amiga->mem.allocSlow(512 * 1024);
    amiga->powerOn();
    amiga->run();

This starts running but quite soon I get this output:

Warning: The emulator is way too fast (0.204399).
Warning: The emulator is way too fast (0.201043).
Warning: The emulator is way too fast (0.204214).
Warning: The emulator is way too fast (0.205728).
Warning: The emulator is way too fast (0.203957).
vamiga/Utilities/RingBuffer.h:95: void util::RingBuffer<T, capacity>::write(T) [with T = Message; long int capacity = 64]: Assertion `!isFull()' failed.

I wonder what a minimal setup that works looks like.

I fixed the issue with RingBuffer running out of space (had to add a listener to the messageQueue) but I'm unsure about why the emulator is running too fast still.

I'm unsure about why the emulator is running too fast still.

I'll check vAmiga BM in my Linux VM. Maybe I've screwed things up with my latest code changes...

Timing synchronisation is broken on Linux (vAmigaBM has the same issue). I'll look into the details...

Found it. Stupid mistake in the Linux implementation of sleepUntil() in Chrono.cpp:

void
Time::sleepUntil()
{
    (now() - *this).sleep();
}

must be

void
Time::sleepUntil()
{
    (*this - now()).sleep();
}

Great! I just got the first (super early version) of vAmiga running inside my debugger :)

I tested the fix above and it indeed fixes the issue. Thanks :)

Excellent! Great to see vAmiga being used in other projects.
