On Windows, when the Rename function fails to replace an existing file
it will now retry the operation multiple times with increasingly long
delays between attempts. This fixes transient rename failures.
I've been getting sporadic yet annoyingly frequent errors saying:
'IOS_FS: Failed to rename temporary FST file'
These typically appear on startup but I've also gotten them randomly.
Investigation shows this happens when the Windows ReplaceFile function
returns the error ERROR_UNABLE_TO_REMOVE_REPLACED. That happens in the
context of using ReplaceFile to perform an atomic file overwrite, which
is required when saving updates to a file to avoid corruption. The
error mainly happens with the /Wii/fst.bin file but I've seen it
happen with multiple other files as well.
I haven't been able to definitively pin down why the error occurs,
though online discussions suggest antivirus scanning may be a major
culprit. That said, I've excluded the Dolphin folder from Windows
Defender scans to no avail and don't have any other antivirus running,
so this is likely to be a problem others are experiencing as well.
The number and duration of retry delays is arbitrary but I feel like a
combined second or so in the worst case is an acceptable tradeoff for
the reduction (actually elimination in my experience) of those errors.
This is even more true when you consider the time it takes to read and
dismiss the error dialogs.
Converts the remaining PowerPC code over to fmt-capable logging.
Now, all that's left to convert over are the lingering remnants within
the frontend code.
The way Config::Get works in master, it first calls
Config::GetActiveLayerForConfig which searches for the
setting in all layers, and then calls Config::Layer::Get
which searches for the same setting again within the given
layer. We can remove this second search by combining the
logic of Config::GetActiveLayerForConfig and
Config::Layer::Get into one function.
gameID isn't null terminated since it is just an std::array<char, 6>
and .data() returns a char* so {fmt} would go way beyond the bounds of
the array when it attempts to determine the length of the string.
The fix is to pass a std::string_view to {fmt}. This commit adds
a GetGameID() function that can also be used to simplify
string comparisons.
Cel-damage depends on lighting being calculated for the first channel
even though there is no color in the vertex format (defaults to the
material color). If lighting for the channel is not enabled, the vertex
will use the default color as before.
The default value of the color is determined by the number of elements in
the vertex format. This fixes the grey cubes in Super Mario Sunshine.
If the color channel count is zero, we set the color to black before the
end of the vertex shader. It's possible that this would be undefined
behavior on hardware if a vertex color index that was greater than the
channel count was used within TEV.
PR #9260 made the MsgAlert macros use lambdas so that local
constexpr variables can be added while keeping the ability to
return a boolean from the macros.
Unfortunately, C++17 forbids referring to structured bindings in lambda
captures. This is fixed in P1091R3 but we cannot rely on C++20 yet...
