RE: [avrdude-dev] optional hash mark progress indicator

[Rune Christensen]

Hello 

I have found the following lines of source code from main.c


    /*
     * write the buffer contents to the selected memory type
     */
    fprintf(stderr, "%s: writing %s (%d bytes):\n", 
            progname, memtype, size);

    if (!nowrite) {
      rc = avr_write(pgm, p, memtype, size, 1);
    }
    else {
      /* 
       * test mode, don't actually write to the chip, output the buffer
       * to stdout in intel hex instead 
       */
      rc = fileio(FIO_WRITE, "-", FMT_IHEX, p, memtype, size);
    }

when avr_write is called it's called with ..., 1) where the last one is 
verbose (local variable).

from avr.h
int avr_write(PROGRAMMER * pgm, AVRPART * p, char * memtype, int size, 
              int verbose);

Best Regards
Rune Christensen

No.  I'm saying that progress used to be printed by default, i.e.,
there was no command line option to turn it off.  But due to slowness
with Windows console printing, we made it so that you had to specify
-v to enable it.  Note that on Unix, where I first wrote
AVRDUDE/AVRPROG, this was not a problem.

If you are really set on the hash marks, I'd at least like the number
of hash marks printed to be a fixed number, like a percentage.  So
that part way through, the display might look something like this:

  Writing: |###########                              |  29% ETA 22.3 sec

Should have one for reading also.  Does that seem reasonable?

If you you'd like to work on a patch for that, great.  If not, just
let me know and I'll work on it.  Also, I would like to pull this
could out from under the -v option and use a seperate -q option to
disable it instead of using the -v option to enable it.

Cheers,
-Brian
