Before these changes each value of latency were actually 5ms, with a
minimum latency of ~10 ms. If it was set to 4 ms on the UI, the actual
latency was 10 + 5 * 4 = 30 ms.
Now 30 ms on the UI means 30 ms on the backend.
This changes the main IOS code (roughly the equivalent of the kernel)
to a class instead of being a set of free functions + tons of static
variables.
The reason for this change is that keeping tons of static variables
like that prevents us from making an IOS instance and reusing IOS
code easily.
Converting the IOS code to a class also allows us to mostly decouple
IOS from the PPC emulation.
The more interesting changes are in Core/IOS/IOS. Everything else is
mostly just boring stuff required by this change...
* Because the devices themselves call back to the main IOS code
for various things (getting the current version, replying to a
request, and other syscall-like functions), just like processes in
IOS call kernel syscalls, we have to pass a reference to the kernel
to anything that uses IOS syscalls.
* Change DoState to save device names instead of device IDs to simplify
AddDevice() and get rid of an ugly static count.
* Change ES_Launch's ack to be sent at IOS boot, now that we can do
this properly.
We can do this now that the x86-64 JIT supports PIE.
JITIL is deliberately excluded from the GUI because it
doesn't support PIE yet. (JITIL will be used if it's
set in the INI, though.)
The audio backend option automatically gets disabled when
emulation is running, so it's pointless to tell people what
would (not) happen if they changed the audio backend while
emulation is running.
This is only ever queried and not set outside of the Core.cpp, so this
should just be hidden internally and just have a function exposed that
allows querying it.
GCMemcard.h has quite a bit of different classes implemented within it
that could likely be split up into other files to make it a little
easier to read. However, they should be moved into their own folder
first so that they don't clutter up the base HW directory.
This moves all the byte swapping utilities into a header named Swap.h.
A dedicated header is much more preferable here due to the size of the
code itself. In general usage throughout the codebase, CommonFuncs.h was
generally only included for these functions anyway. These being in their
own header avoids dumping the lesser used utilities into scope. As well
as providing a localized area for more utilities related to byte
swapping in the future (should they be needed). This also makes it nicer
to identify which files depend on the byte swapping utilities in
particular.
Since this is a completely new header, moving the code uncovered a few
indirect includes, as well as making some other inclusions unnecessary.
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-
IPC_HLE is actually IOS HLE. The actual IPC emulation is not in
IPC_HLE, but in HW/WII_IPC.cpp. So calling IPC_HLE IOS is more
accurate. (If IOS LLE gets ever implemented, it'll likely be at
a lower level -- Starlet LLE.)
This also totally gets rid of the IPC_HLE prefix in file names, and
moves some source files to their own subdirectories to make the file
hierarchy cleaner.
We're going to get ~14 additional source files with the USB PR,
and this is really needed to keep things from becoming a total pain.
This is more logical as the mic is plugged into an EXI slot so it should be configured via the GameCube config dialog. This also allows to pass the right port number for the new dialog.
Removed the unecessary forced tabbed layout, removed the layout part of the constructor and remade some method in preparation for tabbed styled input dialog such as the new hotkey configuration one. It breaks every inputconfigDialog, but this will get fixed in the next commits.
Also moved to a folder since there will be many more files created in the next commits so it gives better separation.
