Subject: can: introduce clock synchronization (simple implementation)
X-Git-Url: http://sigrok.org/gitweb/?p=libsigrokdecode.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=45a5088085c07c862549ad820d752a46ef0e0c76

can: introduce clock synchronization (simple implementation)

Check for falling edges (i.e. changes to dominant state) between bits of
a CAN frame, and adjust subsequent bit slots' sample points accordingly.
This is a simple implementation which could get improved later. But it
improves the decoder's reliability when the input signal's rate differs
from the nominal rate.

This fixes bug #990.
