Enhance: Add dictionary in PROGMEM #42

Closed mikaelpatel closed 8 years ago

mikaelpatel commented 8 years ago

The current dictionary is in EEPROM. A possible extension is to add an application dictionary fully in PROGMEM. There could actually be several dictionaries.

Increasing the number of entries will require a much faster lookup (i.e. cache).

mikaelpatel commented 8 years ago

Application scripts defined in sketch with Shell.set(name, script) should be replaced by a dictionary in PROGMEM. Supporting macros are needed together with dictionary data type and template or constructor parameter.
