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.
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.
Small cleanup by using std::shared_ptr and getting rid of
ciface.Devices() which just returned the m_devices (which defeats the
point of making m_devices protected).
Incidentally, this should make the code safer when we have
different threads accessing devices in the future (for hotplug?).
A lot of code use Device references directly so there is
no easy way to remove FindDevice() and make those unique_ptrs.
Previously, the devices vector would be passed to all backends. They
would then manually push_back to it to add new devices. This was fine
but caused issues when trying to add synchronisation.
Instead, backends now call AddDevice() to fill m_devices so that it is
not accessible from the outside.
Currently only works on unix, but can be extended to other systems. Can
also be extended to do wiimotes.
Searches the Pipes folder for readable named pipes and creates a dolphin
input device out of them. Send controller inputs to the game by writing
to the file. Commands are described in Pipes.h.
I'm not sure when this nonsense of forcing locking the mutex when it's
already taken should have ever taken effect, but let's be thankful it
isn't now. That was a badly worded sentence.
Initialize now just takes the handle directly. Reinitialize is added because it is much more straightforward in comparison to doing the Shutdown-Initialize manually.
