The general convention is to return a reference to the object that was
acted on, otherwise you can get into situations with errors because the
type wasn't being propagated properly
This is the large change in the branch.
This lets us use either the host filesystem or (in the future) a NAND
image exactly the same way, and make sure the IPC emulation code
behaves identically. Less duplicated code.
Note that "FileIO" and "FS" were merged, because it actually doesn't
make a lot of sense to split them: IOS handles requests for both
/dev/fs and files in the same resource manager, and as it turns out,
/dev/fs commands can *also* be sent to non /dev/fs file descriptors!
If we kept /dev/fs and files split, there would be no way to
emulate that correctly. I'm not aware of anything that does that (yet?)
but I think it's important to be correct.
There is code below that assumes the presence of those macros (by #undef'ing them), but none of the included headers provided them.
This fixes a build failure on OpenBSD where the undef'd macros _do_ get picked up later on in a compilation unit (through which include, I don't know), and thus shadow the Common::swap* functions.
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.
