The TLS buffers used by the FastFormatUnicode and FastFormatAscii
classes seem to be responsible for PCSX2 not terminating properly on
Windows under certain conditions (using MTVU before commit
1111e03901, using CDVDgigaherz without a
disc, possibly other conditions).
When PCSX2 shut downs and the FastFormatBuffers are being cleaned up,
the call to pthread_key_delete() would end up calling
WaitForSingleObject(e, INFINITE) and waiting indefinitely for an event
to trigger. It never does get triggered (for reasons unknown) and
therefore PCSX2 doesn't terminate properly.
Remove the usage of TLS buffers in the FastFormatString classes - it
fixes the termination issue on Windows and doesn't seem to have much
effect on performance.
Performance is not important here. I'm not sure Windows could handle VLA
* new/delete can still be used otherwise.
* Put an assert(0) because debugger surely don't use string bigger than
128 bytes.
code is much more compact 20 lines vs 700 lines ...
* A couple i18n fixes listed in Issue 915, relating to dialog message formatting for a couple specific messages.
DevNote:
* Added some missing operator+() stuff for the pxsFmt string formatter.

* PCSX2 uses significantly less memory when starting.
* Overall memory use reduced (mildly for some games, significantly for most).
* EE and IOP main memory are now fixed at 0x20000000 and 0x24000000 -- useful when using external cheat apps.
* Properly implemented the 'Shutdown' menu option -- Shutdown now unloads the entire PS2 virtual machine and reduced PCSX2's memory footprint to bare minimums.
* Some more meaningful errors for when memory is a problem (out of memory, low virtual memory, etc).
* Bugfix for pxsFmt when formatting long/large strings (over 1k)

* Convert IsoFileFormats.cpp into a class.
* Use wxFile and wxFileInputStream instead of windows/posix specific file functions.
* Added new ScopedAlloc classes, which are very simple dependency-free templates for exception-safe allocations.
* FastFormatString: Improved performance ad fixed an obscure bug.
* Drag&Drop (UI) - Improved the friendliness and responsiveness, so that PCSX2 doesn't end up tying up an explorer window while it prompts the user or issues error messages.

* Added ToString methods to the u128 type.
* Bugfixes for the FastFormat string utilities, namely when writing UTF8 content via the UTF16 formatter.
* MSVC: Removed obsolete disabling of unsigned/signed mismatch warning (4018)

(pxsFmt has been applied to console/logging only for now. Will apply it to more later, once the code is confirmed stable)

* Remove one more dependency on the old vssprintf code; hoping to remove it soon. Only thing left now is the r5900 disasm code (which is a monster).

* Fix for Issue 780 (missing uppercase iso extensions in the Open File Dialog).
* A few minor threading fixes for the GameDB loader to avoid crashes/hangs when closing the emulator immediately as it opens.

Linux note: There's a chance as usual that this might break something in Linux because Linux and Windows STL headers have different dependencies. Namely <algorithm> might still be needed in on some of the PrecompiledHeaders. If so, just re-add it and commit, and make a note: // yes GCC really needs this one :)

* Fixed and added better Emulation/System menu updating. Suspend/Resume is more consistent, and Reset grays itself out after being used.
* Entering plugin configurations auto-suspends the emulator.
* Changing plugins in the Configuration PAnel takes effect now without a restart.
* Added preliminary support for an ExtensibleConfirmation Dialog box (contains a sizer you can add content to, and also has an optional "[x] Do not show this again" checkbox).
Bugfixes:
* Added some mutex protection to cdvdNewDiskCB; "just in case."
* Resolved several recursion and deadlock scenarios when (very!) rapidly suspending, resuming, and resetting the emu.
Developments / Code Cleanups:
* Renamed SysCoreThread ExecutionModes: Suspend/Resume are now Opened/Closed (which more accurately reflects the fact they opena nd close the plugins, and helps avoid ambiguity with the "Paused" state).
* Added Exception::ThreadTimedOut, which is now thrown from Semaphore::Wait when recursive wxApp::Yield() calls are detected, and a deadlock occurs (basically cancels the current action which, most of the time, allows for full recovery).
* Major Threading namespace cleanups, documentations, etc.
* Removed wxScopedArray (scopedarray.h) and replaced it with a better implemeneted ScopedArray class.
* Removed toUTF8 class, which I only added a couple weeks ago because I didn't realize wxCharBuffer had an implicit typecast to (char*).
* Implemented more Source/Listener events for Pcsx2App. CoreThread events are sourced properly now, and added SettingsApplied and SettingsLoadSave Sources.
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@2010 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
* Completely new assertion macros: pxAssert, pxAssertMsg, and pxFail, pxAssertDev (both which default to using a message). These replace *all* wxASSERT, DevAssert, and jASSUME varieties of macros. New macros borrow the best of all assertion worlds: MSVCRT, wxASSERT, and AtlAssume. :)
* Rewrote the Console namespace as a structure called IConsoleWriter, and created several varieties of ConsoleWriters for handling different states of log and console availability (should help reduce overhead of console logging nicely).
* More improvements to the PersistentThread model, using safely interlocked "Do*" style callbacks for starting and cleaning up threads.
* Fixed console logs so that they're readable in Win32 notepad again (the log writer adds CRs to naked LFs).
* Added AppInit.cpp -- contains constructor, destructor, OnInit, and command line parsing mess.
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@1950 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
* Lots of crashfixes and threading rules compliance (like using wxYield instead of ProcessPendingEvents)
* Killed off some memory corruption
* Better error handling and reporting
* Much speedier suspend/resume during emulation
* Revamped entire savestate system to use a RIFF-style file format (untested, will work on it soon)
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@1832 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
* Moved the x86 emitter to /common, so that plugins can link against it if they wish.
* Created a new "utility" class in /common which houses string utils, fast memcpy, common exception classes, and other handy dandies.
* Removed old-style linux automake files from the pcsx2 dir since they were hopelessly out of date (and their multi-file-per-line format makes svn merging impossible >_<)
