Register sizes are now represented by an enumeration type. This limits the
possibility to typeset unsupported register sizes, and make the interface easier
to read.
See #12.
This relies on a memory map implementation based on std::array and specialized
over the register size. PackedRegister can now be used with all supported
register sizes (i.e., widths).
This relates to #7 and the finalization of the API before performance testing.
* For trivial read/write operations (over whole register) simpler implementations are now used to avoid unnecessary load/store instructions.
* Merge write implementation has been revised to provide better performance when manipulating constant values.
* `is_set` and `is_clear` are now available for all Field-based types.
This closes#8.
For some reason compilers other than GCC PowerPC 4.5.8 were not complaining
about the `use_shadow` being (re)defined outside the `Shadow` structure
definition.
This closes#2.
The inlining issue was due to a bad template design in the access policies
implementations: the MMIO_t type from the field was used (which is a volatile
type) for all arguments in the write implementation.
The new implementation relies on two template types (one for the register memory
device and another one for the value to be written). This fixes inlining and was
checked on godbolt.
