Instead of expecting callers to know how the size of directory file infos
relates to which files are in which directories, filesystems now offer a
GetRoot() method, and file infos offer a way to get their children. As
a bonus, m_FileInfoVector no longer has to be created and kept around
in RAM. Only the file info objects that actually are used are created.
Not initializing until the filesystem is used is good when
a filesystem is constructed and then never used, but nobody does that.
This simplifies the code a little and lets all methods be const.
Instead of using lots of small scattered reads to read the FST,
only one big read is used, which is more efficient.
This also means that the FST only allocates memory once and stores all
strings close to each other - good for the CPU cache. The file info
objects use pointers to this FST memory of containing data themselves.
Keeping around the big m_FileInfoVector containing objects with only
pointers is a bit unnecessary, but that will be fixed soon.
Some callers already have the file info, making the relatively slow
FindFileInfo calls unnecessary. Callers that didn't have the file info
will now need to call FindFileInfo on their own.
Some callers (i.e. ISOProperties) don't want the full path, so giving them
it is unnecessary. Those that do want it can use GetPathFromFSTOffset.
Not storing full paths everywhere also saves a small bit of RAM and is
necessary for a later commit. The code isn't especially pretty right now
(callers need to use FST offsets...) but it'll become better later.
GC/Wii filesystem internals shouldn't be exposed to other classes.
This change isn't especially useful by itself, but it opens up the
way for some neat stuff in the following commits.
By removing mutable state in VolumeWiiCrypted, this change makes
partition-related code simpler. It also gets rid of other ugly things,
like ISOProperties's "over 9000" loop that creates a list of
partitions by trying possible combinations, and DiscScrubber's
volume swapping that recreates the entire volume when it needs to
change partition.
Callers can now check whether reads fail, either by checking the return
value or by setting the buffer to a known bad value and seeing if it stays
untouched. I've added error checks to FileSystemGCWii and Boot_BS2Emu,
but not to Boot since it doesn't check any of its other reads either.
Rather than rely on the developer to do the right thing,
just make the default behavior safely deallocate resources.
If shared semantics are ever needed in the future, the
constructor that takes a unique_ptr for shared_ptr can
be used.
