GetName() creates a new evdev device which calls tons of ioctls. But the
main culprit is close() which for input devices appears to be a slow
path in the kernel.
This commit reduces PopulateDevices() by 50% on my laptop, but ~730 ms
is still ridiculously slow for something that isn't needed right away.
The SDL backend crashes when you close a joystick after SDL_Quit has
been called. Some backends don't need to be shutdown and
re-initialized everytime, we can just ask to enumerate devices again.
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.
For hotkeys, changed HotkeyManager to allow to get and make partial groups of hotkeys.
Also preserved the old configuration naming scheme for the ini, this is done to preserve compatibility with the older groups structure.
Add the ability to get GCPad control groups
Used like the HotkeyManager methods, this is used for the new GCPad configuration dialog.
Add the ability to get groups of Keyboard input
Same reasons as the previous ones.
Add ability to get groups of Wiimote input
Add the ability to get extensions group
This needed to pass to 3 classes. Will be used for their respective dialogs.
This adds a recenter control binding which allows recentering the
cursor when relative input is enabled.
(EnableSettingControl is renamed to avoid confusions.)
This adds an option to enable relative input for the Wiimote IR
as described in issue 9014.
Enabling it will result in the pointer not going back to the centre
and the inputs will control the direction, not the absolute position.
Also adds a Dead Zone setting which is really needed when relative
input is enabled to prevent the cursor from slowly drifting on
most controllers. (Note: the Deadzone setting has no effect when
relative input is disabled)
Rewrite GetXInputGUIDS to use SetupAPI instead of WMI Queries. When
using a language pack where the system language and user/program
language differ, Windows starts taking a VERY long time (10+ seconds)
to complete Queries for Win32_PNPEntity objects (it's probably
translating every single string since it transfers every single one
from the WMI server into memory in the program).
Fixes Issue 9744.
There is no reason to prevent the user from closing the config dialog
if the device is not found. It's not very good UX…
Also fixes ExpressionParser to return NO_DEVICE if the device doesn't
exist instead of SUCCESS.
This adds hotplugging support to the evdev input backend. We use
libudev to monitor changes to input devices in a separate thread.
Removed devices are removed from the devices list, and new devices
are added to the list.
The effect is that controllers are usable immediately after plugging
them without having to manually refresh devices (if they were
configured to be used, of course).
Changes UpdateInput() to skip if we can't lock the mutex, instead of
potentially blocking the CPU thread and causing a short but noticeable
frame drop.
This adds RemoveDevice() to ControllerInterface, fixes ExpressionParser
and some other code to support device removals without crashing,
and adds an IsValid() method to Device, to prepare for hotplugging.
This adds RegisterHotplugCallback() to register a callback which will
be invoked by the input backends' hotplug threads when there is a new
device, so that Core (GCKeyboard, GCPad, Wiimote, Hotkey) can reload
the configuration without adding a dependency to Core from InputCommon.
This fixes warnings in:
- Source/Core/InputCommon/ControllerEmu.h: avoid shadowing other
variables (my fault)
- Source/Core/Core/IPC_HLE/WII_IPC_HLE.h: made
SDIO_EventNotify_CPUThread static as it's not used anywhere else
This makes the device ID assigning code common to all backends, by
moving it to AddDevice() instead of copy-pasting or replicating
the logic in the backends.
Also, to prepare for hotplugging, instead of relying on a name usage
count, the new ID assigning system always starts from ID 0 and tries
to assign the first ID that is not used.
The Setting class was used for both numeric values and booleans, and
other parts of the code had hacks to make it work with booleans.
By splitting Setting into NumericSetting and BooleanSetting, it is
clear which settings are numeric, and which are boolean, so there is
no need to guess by checking the default values or anything like that.
Also, booleans are stored as booleans in config files, instead of 1.0.
