Gcc 4.8 defines __cplusplus as 201103L, so we can check for that now. It
still also defines __GXX_EXPERIMENTAL_CXX0X__, but this could help on
other compilers, or if gcc ever decides to stop defining the
experimental macro.
1Mhz is a default clock speed on Atmega328, many users run it on the
internal 1Mhz clock to save battery power. Up until now
delayMicroseconds() function wasn't taking this frequencies into an
account.
Rebased the bugfix from the original Google Code issue #292 to work with Arduino 1.6.x
Description of original fix provided by Pete62:
The later 8 bit AVR's use two registers (TCCRxA, TCCRxB) whereas the ATmega8 only uses a single register (TCCR2) to house the control bits for Timer 2. Bits were inadvertently being cleared.
When checking the `left` argument, it previously allowed having
left == len. However, this means the substring starts one past the last
character in the string and should return the empty string. In practice,
this already worked correctly, because buffer[len] contains the trailing
nul, so it would (re)assign the empty string to `out`.
However, fixing this check makes it a bit more logical, and prevents a
fairly unlikely out-of-buffer write (to address 0x0) when calling
substring on an invalidated String:
String bar = (char*)NULL;
bar.substring(0, 0);
Previously, this method calculated the length of the string from the
given index onwards. However, the other remove() method called already
contains code for this calculation, which is used when the count passed
in is too big. This means we can just pass in a very big count that is
guaranteed to point past the end of the string, shrinking the remove
method by a few bytes.
Previously, if you passed in a very big index and/or count, the
`index + count` could overflow, making the count be used as-is instead
of being truncated (causing the string to be updated wrongly and
potentially writing to arbitrary memory locations).
We can rewrite the comparison to use `len - index` instead. Since we
know that index < len, we are sure this subtraction does not overflow,
regardless of what values of index and count we pass in.
As an added bonus, the `len - index` value already needed be calculated
inside the if, so this saves a few instructions in the generated code.
To illustrate this problem, consider this code:
String foo = "foo";
Serial.println(foo.length()); // Prints 3
foo.remove(1, 65535); // Should remove all but first character
Serial.println(foo.length()); // Prints 4 without this patch
Not shown in this is example is that some arbitrary memory is written
as well.
