Some messaging needs a functionality to end an open line, so that the next
message starts at the left margin, ie, the ability to print a \n if and
only if the last printed character was not already a \n.
This used to be effected by \v as first char in the message format.
This commit introduces a dedicated lmsg_xyz() set of messaging functions
that utilises a MSG2_LEFT_MARGIN flag to enforce a left margin start for
the message.
The cumulative time for typical user tasks depends on the flash and EEPROM
size of the part. This commit computes a size-normalised time. Lower is
better. This avrbench number still depends on the part, but less so than
the cumulative time of the tasks.
The summary line is put in vertical bars to make creation of markdown
tables easier.
This executes five tests for typical programming tasks:
- Write/verify a "difficult" sketch to flash: two code sections and one
data section separated by "holes" of different sizes
- Dump all flash, eg, to make a backup
- Write/verify a "difficult" eeprom data file with holes
- Dump all eeprom, eg, to make a backup
- Chip erase (bootloaders are expected to page erase flash apart from
the bootloader itself) and spot check whether flash was erased
The reported times are realistic times with overhead of starting avrdude,
resetting the board via DTR/RTS, establishing comms, including erasing the
flash before writing/verifying the sketch and disengaging the chip.

Note the benchmark line with the cumulative time for all five tasks
As it can happen that there is a leftover `src/ac_cfg.h` when
running an out of tree cmake build (you might have run `cmake .`
or `./src/bootstrap`), the out of tree cmake build must look
for `ac_cfg.h` in its builddir first (e.g. `build_linux/src/`).
Otherwise the cmake build picks up and uses whatever data happens
to be in `src/ac_cfg.h`.
Both the MSVC and GCC C processors are documented to look in the
location of the `#include` directive for the included file first
for double quoted includes, so the old `#include "ac_cfg.h"` was
exactly the wrong thing to do. clang probably does the same, and
ISO C specifies the sequence of places to look for include files
as implementation defined.
So this changes all occurrences of `#include "ac_cfg.h"` to
`#include <ac_cfg.h>` which follows the sequence of `-I` or `/I`
directives as cmake builds add via `include_directories` or
`target_include_directories`.
Fixes: https://github.com/avrdudes/avrdude/issues/1706
When there is no `src/ac_cfg.h` (e.g. a fresh `git clone` or after
a working dir cleanup like `git -f -d -x`), running `cmake` will
complain about not being able to find `ac_cfg.h`.
This is probably because cmake looks for source files in the
`CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR`, but when cmake creates `ac_cfg.h`
it does so ´CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR`, which is often different.
Anyway, this makes the location of files generated by `configure_file`
explicit as `CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR`, and uses that same location
in the source file list for the `libavrdude` target (instead of just
`ac_cfg.h` with the implicit `CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR`) and adds the
same source file to the `avrdude` target to allow cmake to determine
the dependencies properly.
Directly use the AVRDUDE_FULL_VERSION macro instead of first
defining an initialized variable which is never changed and
then using that variable.
This means one less layer of indirection both for the computer
and for the programmer to go through when trying to understand
the code.
Developer options are added to part names or wildcards by a / suffix
followed by a the option characters. However, some part variant names also
contain a slash, eg, AVR64DB64-E/MR. This commit gives priority to such a
variant name and does not interpret the slash as developer option.
