This allows for some very primitive auto-automated testing, by comparing known good frames.
As this happens on the TA level, it doesn't actually require rendering (and thus it's server friendly)
Two new config entries under the new [testing] namespace control behavior
- ta.HashLogFile, file where data should be logged, empty if not logging
- ta.HashCheckFile, past log to check against, empty if not checking
The emu will crash via verify if the logs don't match, and exit(1) if they do
- Rewrite mem ops to only modify regs after exception path
- Throw & catch logic for interpreter that raises the exception
- Re-enabled some commented mmu code
This adds support for separate config and data dirs.
On Linux, these will be compliant XDG Basedir Specification, i.e.
XDG_CONFIG_HOME and XDG_CONFIG_DIRS (or XDG_DATA_HOME and XDG_DATA_DIRS
respectively). On all other platforms, there currently just set to the
homedir path (so no previous behaviour has been changed).
If reicast wants to read and write a data file, it just calls
get_data_path("/samplefile.txt"). If it does not need to write to
that file, it just uses get_data_path("/samplefile.txt", false). That
way, we can also use system-wide dirs (like /usr/share/reicast on
linux), that the user usually doesn't have write access to.
The same applies for config file, where you use get_config_path(args)
respectively.
This coommit makes reicast use $XDG_CONFIG_HOME from XDG Base Directory
Specification[1] if possible.
For backwards-compatability with older installations, it checks if the
old-style config directory at $HOME/.reicast exists. If so, it'll use
that instead.
All new installation should use $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/reicast (or if
that environment variable is not set: $HOME/.config/reicast).

Reicast doesn't support exceptions yet, so this isn't of much use now,
and is intended mostly as documentation. nullDC used some call stack
hooking magic to handle exceptions, which was never generic and clean
enough to be worth the effort to port to Reicast.
