The solution files are unused and for ancient Visual Studio versions -
GSDumpGUI has its own solution file, and bin2cpp is included in the main
solution file.
The property sheets have either fallen out of use or were never used in
the first place.
Combine all the different configurations together so the project files
are more generic and maintainable.
Also standardise the layout so all the project files will be similar and
all have the same standard elements (even if empty).
Add 64-bit configurations.
Don't use "-dbg" target suffix - both Devel and Debug builds use the
property sheet, so it's incorrect.
Also don't set optimise references to false - it's incompatible with
incremental linking and causes compile failures.
* Avoid the generation of memory barrier (mfence)
* Based on the fact that it used to work on previous code without any
barrier
v2:
* keep basic code in reset path
* use relaxed access for isBusy. The variable doesn't carry load/store
dependency but is instead an hint to optimize semaphore post
x86emitter : Convert variable type from u8 to bool.
recVTLB: Cast "sign" to bool to prevent a warning.
R5900OpcodeImpl: Cast all the values in array to u64 instead of s64.
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.
Adding shortcuts to all the menu options, that only some of the options
in the Config tab already had.
Also update translations so menus are still localised (well, mostly).
Using __declspec(dllexport) causes duplicate export warnings to be
generated when compiling 64-bit builds. Name mangling also occurs on
functions that are exported this way, so it doesn't actually work with
the plugin system, which uses unmangled names.
The module definition file exports the functions without name mangling
and is sufficient on its own.
find . -name *.vcxproj -exec sed -i -e '/user.props/d' {} \;
Microsoft recommends against using .user files. From
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/669zx6zc.aspx :
"The best practice is to delete the reference to them in Property
Manager to ensure that your projects operate independently of any
per-user, per-computer settings. This is important to ensure correct
behaviour in a SCC (source code control) environment."
If you cannot compile SPU2-X after this commit (since that still relies
on the old DirectX SDK), you'll need to fix your build environment.
This prevents desync between what is assumed to be the active filter and
what is actually the active filter, fixing errors like #1179 where the
memory cards are closed and reopened for whatever reason.
Basically I ran
find . -name "*.vcxproj" -exec sed -i -e 's/_xp//' {} \;
This will likely break XP, but it paves the way on Windows for a PCSX2
that does not require the DirectX redistributables to be installed for
Windows 8, 8.1 and 10 users. Windows Vista and 7 users will still require
the DirectX redistributable files for XInput and XAudio, though PCSX2
should still be capable of running if a user does not actually use either
of them.
