1. Previous SW configuration for different RRC version relies on whether macro Rel10,
Rel14 defined or not by checking #ifdef Rel14 or #if defined(Rel10) || defined(R14).
Whenever there is a newer RRC version, e.g. Rel15, it will be very a tedious and
error-prone job to add defined(Rel15) in every place.
2. Some RRC messages are defined in release 13 instead of release 14, NB-IoT
feature is one of such example. Our code shall reflect this fact instead of using
an afterward version number in software configuration.
3. Some RRC messages or some fields of certain RRC messages are added in the middle
a release, e.g. SystemInformationBlockType1_v1310_IEs_t defined in RRC 13.1.0
and RRC 9.2.0 made some changes to SIB12 and SIB13 so we have sib12_v920 and
sib13_v920 fields in SIB12 and SIB13's struct.
We need a finer grain of control when using ASN1 from different RRC version.
4. S1AP also has this problem that it use UPDATE_RELEASE_9 and UPDATE_RELEASE_10 to
differentiate between various S1AP version.
This commit propose using MAKE_VERSION(x,y,z) to designate the version number and
modify current conditional compilation accordingly.
Note: 2018/04/16, Modified based on Cedric's comment.
It has been chosen to not include the full history of commits
from David. He included a binary version of wireshark, probably
a modified one that understands NFAPI. Wireshark is released under
the GPL license, we cannot include it in the repository. We could
have done a next commit to remove this binary. But then it would
still be present in the history of commits, which may not be allowed.
And it would take space on disk. We could edit the history to remove
wireshark entirely. But this operation is too complicated.
There was also a pcap capture file, which has nothing to do in
the history of commits and would take space on disk. There again,
it's too difficult to edit the history to remove it.
There was a file .gitignore that was also removed.
The original history can be found on David's repository:
https://gitlab.eurecom.fr/daveprice/openairinterface5g/
The branch is: nfapi-ru-rau-split.
A copy of that branch has been included in the internal OAI
repository, for those who have access to it.
The branch is the same. The last commit ID is
9106438239e0bc626ff1fa1d97d911caadd0fbb9.
You can compare the current commit with the commit 9106...
to see what differs.
The current commit has to be considered non-working.
The commit following the current commit will fix problems with
the work in the current commit.
If you use git bisect, don't spend time analyzing the current
commit.
