Gets rid of the need to set up memcpy boilerplate to reinterpret between
floating-point and integers.
While we're at it, also do a minor bit of tidying.
Given this is what occurs in both constructors (as one just passes
through to another), we can just initialize the member directly.
While we're at it, amend the struct to follow the general ordering
convention of:
<new types>
<functions>
<variables>
Switching to blank NAND when emulation is running is an extremely bad
idea. It's akin to opening up a Wii and replacing the NAND chip while
you're playing a game on it.
Except we're not even replacing it with a NAND that has the same
contents. The blank NAND has nothing in it except the save file for
the current game, which is likely to result in the emulated software
getting inconsistent results and possibly even crashing depending on
how it caches title information.
An example of games that check the saves for other games is
Mario Kart Wii -- it checks the filesystem for Super Mario Galaxy saves
to decide whether to unlock characters. With this 'switch NAND
while emulation is active' misfeature, this will likely break.
And that's the main problem: it encourages sloppy emulation and no one
really knows how many things it can break.
Just don't let the user do horrible things like that during emulation.
If they want to use a blank NAND, they can do so by starting input
recording before launching a game. It's likely they will want to do
this if they plan to share their DTM anyway.
Another bit of behavior that we weren't performing correctly is the
unsetting of FPSCR.FI and FPSCR.FR when FPSCR.ZX is supposed to be set.
This is supported in PEM's section 3.3.6.1 where the following is
stated:
"
When a zero divide condition occurs, the following actions are taken:
- Zero divide exception condition bit is set FPSCR[ZX] = 1.
- FPSCR[FR, FI] are cleared.
"
And so, this fixes that behavior.
FPSCR[ZX] is the bit defined to represent the zero divide exception
condition bit, and is defined as (according to PowerPC Microprocessor
Family: The Programming Environments Manual for 32 and 64-bit
Microprocessors, which will be referred to as "PEM" for the rest of this
commit message) at section 3.3.6.1:
"
A zero divide exception condition occurs when a divide instructions is
executed with a zero divisor value and a finite, nonzero dividend value
or when a floating reciprocal estimate single (fres) or a floating
reciprocal square root estimate (frsqrte) instruction is executed with a
zero operand value.
"
Note that it states the divisor must be zero and the dividend must be
nonzero in order for ZX to be set. This means that the interpreter was
performing the wrong behavior for the case where 0/0 (with any sign on
the zeros) is performed. We would incorrectly set the ZX bit when only
the VXZDZ bit should be set.
It's also worth pointing out that N/0 (where N is any finite nonzero
value) and 0/0 are not within the same exception class. N/0 is a zero
divide exception case, while 0/0 is considered an invalid operation
exception case, which is also indicated in the PEM section 3.3.6.1 as
well where it lists the criteria for invalid operation exceptions.
Therefore we should only be setting the VXZDZ bit in the 0/0 case, not
VXZDZ and ZX. This was also verified via hardware tests to ensure that
this behavior indeed holds.
Fairly trivial to resolve, we just initialize the std::array with two
sets of braces (one set to create the array, the other to start and end the
aggregate data that we'll end up returning)
Given this is actually a part of the Host interface, this should be
placed with it.
While we're at it, turn it into an enum class so that we don't dump its
contained values into the surrounding scope. We can also make
Host_Message take the enum type itself directly instead of taking a
general int value.
After this, it'll be trivial to divide out the rest of Common.h and
remove the header from the repository entirely
If invalid operation exceptions are enabled and an invalid operation
occurs, then the destination value remains untouched. This fixes issues
that may arise when using these two instructions where the destination
gets steamrolled by an infinity or NaN value.
If a NaN of any type is passed as the operand to either of these
instructions, we shouldn't go down the regular code path, as we end up
potentially setting the wrong flags. For example, we wouldn't set the
FPSCR.VXCVI bit properly. We'd also set FPSCR.FI, when in actuality it
should be unset.
If an SNaN is passed as an operand, we also need to set the FPSCR.VXSNAN
bit as well.
The flag setting behavior for these can be found in Appendix C.4.2 in
PowerPC Microprocessor Family: The Programming Environments Manual for
32 and 64-bit Microprocessors.
