I’ve completed most of the work of this restructuring, and the new arrangement looks good. The new work uses CAN_log_message_t (rather than CAN_frame_t) for most things other than basic frame tx/rx, and that is based on Michael’s can log CAN_LogMsg_t (almost unchanged, apart from timestamp). I’ve added a canfilter class to be able to do software filtering (not just in logging, but also in general). Then candump* has moved to canformat* to virtualise all the different formats (CRTD, PCAP, etc) for can dumps (with a modular registration of formats so we can add more formats easily, without change to core components).
The last change I have to make is to canlog. I want it to use the canfilter and canformat systems so all it is doing is logging (and not involved in filtering, or formatting - both of which are now general purpose facilities). It seems that the ‘re serve’ framework can move into this, and perhaps we can log to things other than the file system.
The changes were quite extensive:
Everything in the can component
retools component
mcp2515 component
esp32can component
dbc component
I should be done with the changes in the next day or two, and then will do some testing in my car. Hopefully should be able to merge my commits later this week.
Regards, Mark.

> @Michael, one question, for you: What is the purpose of RegisterCallback (and the callbacks vs listeners, in general). Listeners get their frames delivered via a queue (so must have a task running). Callbacks are simple function callbacks running synchronously with the CAN task. From what I can see, the only user of callbacks is vehicle_twizy where CanResponder is set as the callback on CAN1. Why is that necessary, given that the standard vehicle object has IncomingFrameCan1() to receive frames. Is this required for performance (running synchronously with the CAN receive task), or some other reason why it can’t run from the vehicle task on queue receive of the frame? In other words, why can’t we just call CanResponder() from within IncomingFrameCan1()?

That can virtualise the conversion of a CAN message to be logged/transmitted/received to/from the external format. This can include a factory for registration of types (by textual name), as well as support functions for command registration (including whether they have support for reading, writing, or both). This just provides format conversion and does not provide any file handling or transmission functions. Canlog and Candump get merged to form this.
