The SDL backend crashes when you close a joystick after SDL_Quit has
been called. Some backends don't need to be shutdown and
re-initialized everytime, we can just ask to enumerate devices again.
Rewrite GetXInputGUIDS to use SetupAPI instead of WMI Queries. When
using a language pack where the system language and user/program
language differ, Windows starts taking a VERY long time (10+ seconds)
to complete Queries for Win32_PNPEntity objects (it's probably
translating every single string since it transfers every single one
from the WMI server into memory in the program).
Fixes Issue 9744.
This makes the device ID assigning code common to all backends, by
moving it to AddDevice() instead of copy-pasting or replicating
the logic in the backends.
Also, to prepare for hotplugging, instead of relying on a name usage
count, the new ID assigning system always starts from ID 0 and tries
to assign the first ID that is not used.
Small cleanup by using std::shared_ptr and getting rid of
ciface.Devices() which just returned the m_devices (which defeats the
point of making m_devices protected).
Incidentally, this should make the code safer when we have
different threads accessing devices in the future (for hotplug?).
A lot of code use Device references directly so there is
no easy way to remove FindDevice() and make those unique_ptrs.
Previously, the devices vector would be passed to all backends. They
would then manually push_back to it to add new devices. This was fine
but caused issues when trying to add synchronisation.
Instead, backends now call AddDevice() to fill m_devices so that it is
not accessible from the outside.
strictStrings is not supported by debug libraries, and indeed breaks the build.
Drop wbemidl.h (incompatible with strictStrings) dependency by using SDL-style search for XInput GUIDs.
- remove unused variables
- reduce the scope where it makes sense
- correct limits (did you know that strcat()'s last parameter does not
include the \0 that is always added?)
- set some free()'d pointers to NULL
