This is done to remove confusions among potential debugger users and to also make it more accurately tell what this feature is actually doing. Despite being true that it is using a memcheck (and it certianly checks that memory), the idea being to break on a memory access isn't really obvious especially considering that memchecks are also used in full MMU emulation to handle exceptions. It also doesn't help that memchecks are now supported in every builds.
It also changes the corresponding log because this log would be wanted by the user which means it should be more obvious that it was caused by the "memory breakpoint".
It was never used, even when the code tried to make sure it was initialised and passed correctly. This is a supplementary fix for the memCheck dialog as this option will now work correctly.
memory check
Also fix an oddity in the case when the last memory check is deleted,
the jit cache was supposed to be cleared in that case, but it was out of
the for loop that finds the one to delete so it was never run.
Naturally, the same fix for the adding the first memory check was
applied.
Change TMemCheck::Action to return whether to break rather than calling
PPCDebugInterface::BreakNow, as this simplified the implementation; then
remove said method, as that was its only caller. One "interface" method
down, many to go...
- Move JitState::memcheck to JitOptions because it's an option.
- Add JitOptions::fastmem; switch JIT code to checking that rather than
bFastmem directly.
- Add JitBase::UpdateMemoryOptions(), which sets both two JIT options
(replacing the duplicate lines in Jit64 and JitIL that set memcheck
from bMMU).
- (!) The ARM JITs both had some lines that checked js.memcheck
despite it being uninitialized in their cases. I've added
UpdateMemoryOptions to both. There is a chance this could make
something slower compared to the old behavior if the uninitialized
value happened to be nonzero... hdkr should check this.
- UpdateMemoryOptions forces jo.fastmem and jo.memcheck off and on,
respectively, if there are any watchpoints set.
- Also call that function from ClearCache.
- Have MemChecks call ClearCache when the {first,last} watchpoint is
{added,removed}.
Enabling jo.memcheck (bah, confusing names) is currently pointless
because hitting a watchpoint does not interrupt the basic block. That
will change in the next commit.
