QStringLiterals generate a buffer so that during runtime there's very
little cost to constructing a QString. However, this also means that
duplicated strings cannot be optimized out into a single entry that gets
referenced everywhere, taking up space in the binary.
Rather than use QStringLiteral(""), we can just use QString{} (the
default constructor) to signify the empty string. This gets rid of an
unnecessary string buffer from being created, saving a tiny bit of
space.
While we're at it, we can just use the character overloads of particular
functions when they're available instead of using a QString overload.
The characters in this case are Latin-1 to begin with, so we can just
specify the characters as QLatin1Char instances to use those overloads.
These will automatically convert to QChar if needed, so this is safe.
Adds the Hardware Implementation-Dependent registers to the register
pane, which makes it much nicer to see which hardware-specific features
are enabled or disabled.
Previously, PowerPC.h had four macros in it like so:
\#define rPS0(i) (*(double*)(&PowerPC::ppcState.ps[i][0]))
\#define rPS1(i) (*(double*)(&PowerPC::ppcState.ps[i][1]))
\#define riPS0(i) (*(u64*)(&PowerPC::ppcState.ps[i][0]))
\#define riPS1(i) (*(u64*)(&PowerPC::ppcState.ps[i][1]))
Casting between object representations like this is undefined behavior.
Given this is used heavily with the interpreter (that is, the most
accurate, but slowest CPU backend), we don't exactly want to allow
undefined behavior to creep into it.
Instead, this adds a helper struct for operating with the paired singles,
and replaces the four macros with a single macro for accessing the
paired-singles/floating-point registers.
This way, it's left up to the caller to explicitly decide how it wants to interpret
the data (and makes it more obvious where different interpretations of
the same data are occurring at, as there'll be a call to one of the
[x]AsDouble() functions).
