pub const PREEMPTION_RECORD_FORMAT: u32 = SWITCH_IN_CHARGE_FORMAT; // 3u32Expand description
The newest preemption-record format this Hermit writes and reads
(PreemptionRecord::format_version), one counter for every format change:
a record of format N has every property of the formats before it.
- Format 1 has no version field: every record written before the field existed.
- Format 2 (
TIME_SKIPS_FORMAT) lists every jump of global time its run made (time_skips, absent when there was none). - Format 3 (
SWITCH_IN_CHARGE_FORMAT) was written by a run that charged every stretch of guest code a turn, so its replay charges a replayed switch-in under which guest code runs.
A record of a newer format is refused (PreemptionRecord::validate_format).
