[gpsd-dev] [PATCH 0/5] [AIS] Modifications with potential side effects

[chris]

From: Christian Gagneraud <address@hidden>

Hi,

These 5 patches make modifications to some code that affects other components.
Scons check passed on each individual commit, so there shouldn't be any 
regression.

- The first patch makes gpsdecode honor the unscaled flag, and fix SConstruct
  so that the tests are not affected.
- The second one makes gpsd_hexdump() always dump in hexadecimal form (no more
  "maybe text, maybe hex" behaviour)
- The third one increase the maximum json value length (AIS can produce "very"
  long strings)
- The forth one adds a new talker ID: BS, which is used by some AIS
  basestation
- The last one adds a simple script that can be used to check for JSON
  validity

All these patches are needed for the new AIS testing strategy, which will come
in two flavours: regression and stress.
I used this new test script on a large amount of data, and fixed a myriad of
small bugs and typos.

Christian Gagneraud (5):
  gpsdecode: honor scale flag
  gpsd_hexdump: Always dump in hex mode
  json.h: Change JSON_VAL_MAX from 120 to 512
  Add BS talker ID (used by AIS base stations)
  Add script to test for JSON validity
