Keeps associated data together. It also eliminates the possibility of out
parameters not being initialized properly. For example, consider the
following example:
-- some FramebufferManager implementation --
void FBMgrImpl::GetTargetSize(u32* width, u32* height) override
{
// Do nothing
}
-- somewhere else where the function is used --
u32 width, height;
framebuffer_manager_instance->GetTargetSize(&width, &height);
if (texture_width != width) <-- Uninitialized variable usage
{
...
}
It makes it much more obvious to spot any initialization issues, because
it requires something to be returned, as opposed to allowing an
implementation to just not do anything.
This is mainly for potential Android fifoci usage, and thus is not
exposed anywhere in the UI. To enable, set DumpFramesAsImages under
Settings in GFX.ini.
This increase the performance of good backends a bit, but slows down the bads one a lot.
Let's fix those backends instead of forcing stupid memcpy in the common code.
Some OSD messages were displayed in RenderBase.cpp using global variables and some code duplicated
in OnScreeDisplay.cpp.
Now all messages are displayed using functions in the OSD namepace.
* OSDChoice and OSDTime global variables are gone
* All OSD logic is kept at the same place
* All messages are properly aligned
* Clean characters for all OSD messages

This is needed because for some reason the WSI for NV Vulkan drivers
doesn't return VK_ERROR_OUT_OF_DATE_KHR, so there is no other way to know
that a resize has occured apart from polling, which is a poor solution for
X11 (since it is blocking).
We don't throttle by frames, we throttle by coretiming speed.
So looking up VI for calculating the speed was just very wrong.
The new ini option is a float, 1.0f for fullspeed.
In the GUI, percentual values are used.
Approximately three or four times now, the issue of pointers being
in an inconsistent state been an issue in the video backend renderers
with regards to tripping up other developers.
Global (ugh) resources are put into a unique_ptr and will always have a
well-defined state of being - null or not null
