[Ovmsdev] Stack sizes

Very strange.

Changing the way Transmit() is called in OvmsServerV2::ProcessCommand(), by making it one call rather than each time in the switch/case statements, reduces stack to 672 bytes (was 1,900++) for that function.

The issue seems to be all those temporary std::string objects created by things like this:

if (vehicle->CommandHomelink(atoi(payload.substr(sep+1).c_str())) == OvmsVehicle::Success) k = 0;

Getting rid of all those, and changing payload to char*, brings OvmsServerV2::ProcessCommand() down to 336 bytes. Much better. But, still looking for those remaining bytes...

It seems that we have to be very careful with switch/case statements and local variables.

Regards, Mark.

> 200 bytes, not 2,000 bytes, so something else is going on here. Anyway, changing it to a dynamically (new/delete) allocated buffer, drops stack usage of that frame to 1,824 bytes (was 2,208 so that is 384 bytes saved).

> The OvmsCommand::Execute recursion I was worried about is not so bad. Probably 100 bytes of stack, or so, for most commands. We could improve that by getting rid of the recursion (it is elegant, but not strictly necessary), but it doesn’t seem to be a big win.
