We (the Microsoft C++ team) use the dolphin project as part of our "Real world code" tests.
I noticed a few issues in windows specific code when building dolphin with the MSVC compiler
in its conformance mode (/permissive-). For more information on /permissive- see our blog
https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/vcblog/2016/11/16/permissive-switch/.
These changes are to address 3 different types of issues:
1) Use of qualified names in member declarations
struct A {
void A::f() { } // error C4596: illegal qualified name in member declaration
// remove redundant 'A::' to fix
};
2) Binding a non-const reference to a temporary
struct S{};
// If arg is in 'in' parameter, then it should be made const.
void func(S& arg){}
int main() {
//error C2664: 'void func(S &)': cannot convert argument 1 from 'S' to 'S &'
//note: A non-const reference may only be bound to an lvalue
func( S() );
//Work around this by creating a local, and using it to call the function
S s;
func( s );
}
3) Add missing #include <intrin.h>
Because of the workaround you are using in the code you will need to include
this. This is because of changes in the libraries and not /permissive-
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.
Making changes to ConfigManager.h has always been a pain, because
it means rebuilding half of Dolphin, since a lot of files depend on
and include this header.
However, it turns out some includes are unnecessary. This commit
removes ConfigManager includes from files which don't contain
SConfig or GPUDeterminismMode or GPU_DETERMINISM (which means the
ConfigManager include is not used).
(I've also had to get rid of some indirect includes.)
