This PR adds protection handling to
SvdItem::CopyItem
. Currently, if anSvdItem
is copied (e.g.,dim
orderivedFrom
), its protection is not being copied (different from the other register propertiessize
,access
,resetValue
, andresetMask
). As a result,SvdItem::GetEffectiveProtection
always returnsUNDEF
for inherited (derivedFrom
) or dimensioned (dim
)SvdItems
. In my opinion, there is no reason for that, but please let me know if there is a specific reason (@thorstendb-ARM ?).I'm currently working on SVD test cases for cmsis-svd and SVDSuite and am trying to figure out how the inheritance of the protection rights should be handled. I'm aware that the protection is currently not really used in
svdconv
, but I believe it should be handled correctly if already implemented.
