I've done this as one of changes in the attempt to ensure re-entrancy, but I figured it's standalone enough to deserve a separate review.
This moves the serial cache (the one that reads a larger chunk to reduce overhead from reading a few bytes at a time) from canon.c to the generic serial port library. The actual cache now lives in the
_GPPortPrivateLibrary
structure instead of static variables, ensuring that it can't be accidentally modified from competing threads. Additionally, by virtue of being in the generic serial port implementation, the cache logic can now benefit all cameras that communicate over the serial port instead of just a single function in Canon driver.Note that I don't have any ability to actually test cameras over the serial port so would appreciate another pair of eyes.
