It appears that some older drivers do not support
CreateSwapChainForHwnd, resulting in DXGI_ERROR_INVALID_CALL. For these
cases, fall back to the base CreateSwapChain() from DXGI 1.0.
In theory this should also let us run on Win7 without the platform
update, but in reality we require the newer shader compiler so this
probably won't work regardless. Also any hardware of this vintage is
unlikely to run Dolphin well.
Since C++17, non-member std::size() is present in the standard library
which also operates on regular C arrays. Given that, we can just replace
usages of ArraySize with that where applicable.
In many cases, we can just change the actual C array ArraySize() was
called on into a std::array and just use its .size() member function
instead.
In some other cases, we can collapse the loops they were used in, into a
ranged-for loop, eliminating the need for en explicit bounds query.
Greatly simplifies the overall interface when it comes to compiling
shaders. Also allows getting rid of a std::string overload of the same
name. Now std::string and const char* both go through the same function.
This stops the virtual method call from within the Renderer constructor.
The initialization here for GL had to be moved to VideoBackend, as the
Renderer constructor will not have been executed before the value is
required.
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.
