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-
Instead of directly reading/storing settings from/to the SYSCONF, we
now store Wii settings to Dolphin's own configuration, and apply them
on boot. This prevents issues with settings not being saved, being
overridden and lost (if the user opens a dialog that writes to the
SYSCONF while a game is running).
This also fixes restoring settings from the config cache after a
graceful shutdown; for some reason, settings were only restored
after a normal shutdown.
Fixes issue 9825 and 9826
It's used by both the GUI to do things like install WADs and check up on
the system menu, in which case the global root should be used, and by
/dev/es, in which case the local one should. The latter isn't
*terribly* useful today, since no contents will ever be installed in
temporary roots (although it's still relevant for data directories), but
converting the whole thing makes sense because then it will Just Work
once the entire NAND is synced.
Because it would have been a bit of work to split it up (but I can if
desired), this commit also contains some basic cleanup of
NANDContentLoader:
(1) The useless interface class INANDContentLoader is removed and the
methods are changed to just return CNANDContentLoader (the only
implementation);
(2) CNANDContentManager is changed to use unique_ptr and cleaned up a
bit.
Eventually, netplay will be able to use the host's NAND, but this could
still be useful in some cases; for TAS it definitely makes sense to have
a way to avoid using any preexisting NAND.
In terms of implementation: remove D_WIIUSER_IDX, which was just WIIROOT
+ "/", as well as some other indices which are pointless to have as
separate variables rather than just using the actual path (fixed, since
they're actual Wii NAND paths) at the call site. Then split off
D_SESSION_WIIROOT_IDX, which can point to the dummy NAND directory, from
D_WIIROOT_IDX, which always points to the "real" one the user
configured.
Replaces them with forward declarations of used types, or removes them entirely if they aren't used at all. This also replaces certain Common headers with less inclusive ones (in terms of definitions they pull in).
Prior to this refactor, certain options would cause the game list to refresh when the config modal dialog is closed (such as adding a folder to the path list). This restores that functionality.
Prior to this, ConfigMain.cpp was a large (52KB) cpp file that contained all of the UI setting code.
This breaks up the config code into subclasses of wxPanel, which are then just instantiated to add to the settings wxNoteBook. This keeps all the settings categories separated from one another and also cleans up the code in general.
