* Implemented TlsVariable, a nifty alternative to __threadlocal, suitable for archaic operating systems that don't have native TLS support (namely Mac OS/X).
* Added a forced reference to TLS in AppInit so that TLS is sure to be available to DLLs (otherwise windows doesn't init TLS by default).
* Disabled TLS support in the x86emitter by default, since it's looking increasingly like we won't find a use for multithreading PS2 sub-components (can be re-enabled later if spontaneous brilliance at a later date proves me wrong).

* Configuration panels are all modal-less now, so that you can open the config panel and leave it open while running games.
* Handful of thread sync improvements.
* Fixed on-the-fly interpreter/recompiler configuration.
* Fixed plugin hotswapping (mostly works, but still a little funny at times)
* All new assertion dialogs and popup message handlers.
* RecentIsoList defaults to 12 instead of 6
Dev Notes:
* I had to create a new set of assertion functions called pxAssume*. Originally I hoped to avoid that complexity, and just use a single one-assert-fits-all case, but turned out blanketly using __assume() for all assertion cases wasn't reliable.
* wxGuiTools: Replaced the operator, with operator& -- the latter has proper order of precedence, the former required () to scope correctly. >_<
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@2339 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
* Removed some hacks from cpuDetectInit's use of cpuId.
* Improved assertion checking for thread affinity.
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@2327 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
* ConsoleLogger Optimization: Improved performance considerably for when the log gets spammed by EEcore or MTGS threads.
DevNotes:
* Added a new pxYieldToMain() method (currently implemented in Win32 only). It provides a smart way to allow passive-task worker threads to yield time to the Main Thread when important messages are pending (keyboard or mouse clicks, primarily). It also replaces the wxGetApp().Ping() stuff, which never worked anyway due to wxCommandEvents having a higher priority than native system messages.
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@2253 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
Renamed a bunch of functions/methods in the Threading namespace that have been bugging me for a while. (MutexLock is renamed to Mutex, Lock() is renamed to Aquire(), etc)
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@2102 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
* Exception/Signal handling now uses an EventSource, so that multiple handlers can be registered. This is in preparation for (eventual) more complete MIPS TLB support in the VTLB memory model.
* Improved code isolation, so that recompiler-specific code is primarily in iR5900-32.cpp (cleans up Counters.cpp and SysCoreThread.cpp)
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@2063 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
* Added -fno-strict-aliasing to the ever growing list of gcc optimizations that can potentially cause perfectly good C code to generate entirely broken results.
* Removed the preferred-stack=2, since this branch *should* run fine without it now.
* Have Release builds in Linux SIGKILL when encountering an unexpected SIGSEGV.
* Fixed some deadlock issues with the new console logger (it introduced cancel points, which is a good thing! unless you're the EE recompiler and you swallow up any attempt by GCC to cancel a thread)
* Compilation error fixes.
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/branches/aligned_stack@2049 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
* Added timeBeginPeriod() to improve the Win32 kernel scheduler resolution (improves sleep accuracy and thread responsiveness)
* hackfixed some code that made exiting pcsx2 "slow" sometimes.
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@2041 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
* Added TimedLock to MutexLock
* Use MutexLock::TimedLock as a replacement for some sloppy semaphore use in SysCoreThread and PersistentThread.
* Minor fixes to thread cleanup when exiting the App
* Added some extra deadlock protection to the blocking Wait and Lock functions for Mutexes and Semaphores.
* Moved MutexLock and Semaphore implementations into their own files.
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@2022 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
* 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
* Switched the SysCoreThread to a static (fully persistent) thread.
* Added some listeners for when the CoreThread status changes
* fixed some slowness in savestates, and the emu will now stall until savestates complete, if you try to exit too quick (avoids savestate corruption)
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@1993 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
* Rewrote Savestate code, fixed lots of stuff in PersistentThread, and renamed most "Emu"s to "Sys".
* Removed wxScopedPtr and whipped up our own ScopedPtr that doesn't use boost's fail-style function names (and made it more thread-safe).
* Handling exceptions across threads: Added Clone() and Rethrow() methods to BaseException, and added a Rethrow() to PersistentThread.
* Go rid of AppInvoke macros (those were nasty!)
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@1929 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
PCSX2/Win32:
* Assigned names to the threads so that they show up nicely in the debugger.
* Added more error checking in the new stdout/stderr PipeRedirection code, hopefully fixing Issue 422 (but can't reproduce the error here to be sure).
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@1904 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
* Fixed a deadlock in thread cancellation.
* Muted some folder warnings when running pcsx2 for the first time.
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@1778 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
* Fixed some deadlock conditions by adding a message pump to semaphore waits ont he main/gui thread.
* Many more config and init bugfixes.
* Implemented most of the new Boot menu.
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/branches/wxgui@1745 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
* Fixed thread classing so that detached pthreeads are handled safely, and so that virtual functions in C++ destructors are explicitly specified.
* Added some helper functions to Pcsx2App for safely executing menu commands form any thread in the emu.
* Fixed several minor bugs in settings / config handling.
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/branches/wxgui@1730 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
* Moved some files around in an attempt to improve CoreEmu and UI separation.
* Major upgrade to the UI's handling of savestates
* Maintenance work to the C++ exception handling
* Some improved error handling and message popups here or there
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/branches/wxgui@1714 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
Note: Nearly have a successfully booting branch! (bios crashes when it reaches CDVD api callbacks, should be a simple fix but it'll have to wait until later >_<)
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/branches/wxgui@1680 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
* Removed NoncopyableObject class and replaced it with a DeclareNoncopyableObject() macro -- which reports saner C++ compilation errors when the object copy is attempted.
* Improved first run wizard and several configuration panels.
* Moved the BIOS selector to its own menu item and dialog box, separate of the Settings panel.
* Fixed various bugs preventing configuration changes from being saved.
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/branches/wxgui@1658 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
* Major cleanups and improvements to the Threading namespace.
* Created CoreEmuThread class framework, which currently runs the EEcore, IOP, and VUs with threadsafe suspension, reset, and resume features.
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/branches/wxgui@1624 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 >_<)
