Analytics:
- Incorporated fix to allow the full set of analytics that was recommended by
spotlightishere
BuildMacOSUniversalBinary:
- The x86_64 slice for a universal binary is now built for 10.12
- The universal binary build script now can be configured though command line
options instead of modifying the script itself.
- os.system calls were replaced with equivalent subprocess calls
- Formatting was reworked to be more PEP 8 compliant
- The script was refactored to make it more modular
- The com.apple.security.cs.disable-library-validation entitlement was removed
Memory Management:
- Changed the JITPageWrite*Execute*() functions to incorporate support for
nesting
Other:
- Fixed several small lint errors
- Fixed doc and formatting mistakes
- Several small refactors to make things clearer
This commit adds support for compiling Dolphin for ARM on MacOS so that it can
run natively on the M1 processors without running through Rosseta2 emulation
providing a 30-50% performance speedup and less hitches from Rosseta2.
It consists of several key changes:
- Adding support for W^X allocation(MAP_JIT) for the ARM JIT
- Adding the machine context and config info to identify the M1 processor
- Additions to the build system and docs to support building universal binaries
- Adding code signing entitlements to access the MAP_JIT functionality
- Updating the MoltenVK libvulkan.dylib to a newer version with M1 support
LTO is supposed to be enabled by default for VS Release builds
according to the VS prop files but a build log from JMC reveals
that /GL and /LTCG are not actually passed to cl.exe/link.exe
for some reason...
LTO also leads to *extremely* and unacceptably slow build times
when using link.exe, so let's disable it by default to actually
match the project files.
This adds a CMake option (DOLPHIN_DEFAULT_UPDATE_TRACK) to allow
configuring SCM_UPDATE_TRACK_STR. This is needed to enable auto-updates
in Windows CMake builds by default.
Xcode is configured by default to turn on the strict aliasing optimization
through a separate project setting. This would cause the compiler to be called
with both -fno-strict-aliasing and -fstrict-aliasing. This change turns off
that project setting causing only the -fno-strict-aliasing flag to be provided
to the compiler.
Modify the CMakeLists.txt so that it doesn't try to use a shared zstd library
that doesn't have header files. This was a support issue on Macs because
homebrew was installing headerless zstd libraries with Qt.
Add a check to define FMT_EXCEPTIONS = 0 when compiling on MacOS.
Replaces -fno-objc-exceptions, which also disabled fmt exceptions but
generated warnings when compiling c++ files.
While the gdbstub is somewhat broken at the moment, building it by
default should keep us from breaking the build (which has happened
several times in the past: #2614, #5904, #8262).
It isn't very intrusive and it does nothing unless it is enabled
in the config file.
