Over time our config values have grown quite numerous in size.
Unfortunately it also makes the single functions we have for loading and
saving values more error prone.
For example, we were loading the core settings twice when they only
should have been loaded once. In another section, a variable was
shadowing another variable used to load settings from a completely
different section.
Finally, in one other case, there was an extraneous endGroup() call used
that didn't need to be done. This was essentially dead code and also a
bug waiting to happen.
This separates the section loading code into its own separate functions.
This keeps variables only visible to the code that actually needs it,
and makes it much easier to visually see the end of each individual
configuration group. It also makes it much easier to visually catch bugs
during code review.
While we're at it, this also uses QStringLiteral instead of raw string
literals, which both avoids constructing a lot of QString instances, but
also makes it much easier to disable implicit ASCII to QString and
vice-versa in the future via setting QT_NO_CAST_FROM_ASCII and
QT_NO_CAST_TO_ASCII as compilation flags.
This option allows picking the compatibility profile since a lot of bugs
are fixed in it. We devs will use this option to easierly debug current
problems in our Core implementation.:wq
This is a holdover from Citra, where the 3DS has both
WaitSynchronization1 and WaitSynchronizationN. The switch only has one
form of wait synchronizing (literally WaitSynchonization). This allows
us to throw out code that doesn't apply at all to the Switch kernel.
Because of this unnecessary dichotomy within the wait synchronization
utilities, we were also neglecting to properly handle waiting on
multiple objects.
While we're at it, we can also scrub out any lingering references to
WaitSynchronization1/WaitSynchronizationN in comments, and change them
to WaitSynchronization (or remove them if the mention no longer
applies).
The default constructor will always run, even when not specified, so
this is redundant.
However, the context member can indeed be initialized in the constructor
initializer list.
This is a compile definition introduced in Qt 4.8 for reducing the total
potential number of strings created when performing string
concatenation. This allows for less memory churn.
This can be read about here:

For a change that isn't source-compatible, we only had one occurrence
that actually need to have its type clarified, which is pretty good, as
far as transitioning goes.
Without passing in a parent, this can result in focus being stolen from
the dialog in certain cases.
Example:
On Windows, if the logging window is left open, the logging Window will
potentially get focus over the hotkey dialog itself, since it brings all
open windows for the application into view. By specifying a parent, we
only bring windows for the parent into view (of which there are none,
aside from the hotkey dialog).
Avoids dumping all of the core settings machinery into whatever files
include this header. Nothing inside the header itself actually made use
of anything in settings.h anyways.
In our error console, when loading a game, the strings:
QString::arg: Argument missing: "Loading...", 0
QString::arg: Argument missing: "Launching...", 0
would occasionally pop up when the loading screen was running. This was
due to the strings being assumed to have formatting indicators in them,
however only two out of the four strings actually have them.
This only applies the arguments to the strings that have formatting
specifiers provided, which avoids these warnings from occurring.
This doesn't actually work anymore, and given how long it's been left in
that state, it's unlikely anyone actually seriously used it.
Generally it's preferable to use RenderDoc or Nsight to view surfaces.
- Use QStringLiteral where applicable.
- Use const where applicable
- Remove unnecessary precondition check (we already assert the pixbuf
being non null)
Fills in the missing surface types that were marked as unknown. The
order corresponds with the TextureFormat enum within
video_core/texture.h.
We also don't need to all of these strings as translatable (only the
first string, as it's an English word).
Rather than scream that the file doesn't exist, we can clearly state
what specifically doesn't exist, to avoid ambiguity, and make it easier
to understand for non-primary English speakers/readers.
Moves includes into the cpp file where necessary. This way,
microprofile-related stuff isn't dumped into other UI-related code when
the dialog header gets included.
Since C++17, the introduction of deduction guides for locking facilities
means that we no longer need to hardcode the mutex type into the locks
themselves, making it easier to switch mutex types, should it ever be
necessary in the future.
This was initially added to prevent problems from stubbed/not implemented NFC services, but as we never encountered such and as it's only used in a deprecated function anyway, I guess we can just remove it to prevent more clutter of the settings.
We already have the thread instance that was created under the current
process, so we can just pass the handle table of it along to retrieve
the owner of the mutex.
In these cases the system object is nearby, and in the other, the
long-form of accessing the telemetry instance is already used, so we can
get rid of the use of the global accessor.
Changes the interface as well to remove any unique methods that
frontends needed to call such as StartJoystickEventHandler by
conditionally starting the polling thread only if the frontend hasn't
started it already. Additionally, moves all global state into a single
SDLState class in order to guarantee that the destructors are called in
the proper order
MSVC does not seem to like using constexpr values in a lambda that were declared outside of it.
Previously on MSVC build the hotkeys to inc-/decrease the speed limit were not working correctly because in the lambda the SPEED_LIMIT_STEP had garbage values.
After googling around a bit I found: https://github.com/codeplaysoftware/computecpp-sdk/issues/95 which seems to be a similar issue.
Trying the suggested fix to make the variable static constexpr also fixes the bug here.
A holdover from citra, the Horizon kernel on the switch has no
prominent kernel object that functions as a timer. At least not
to the degree of sophistication that this class provided.
As such, this can be removed entirely. This class also wasn't used at
all in any meaningful way within the core, so this was just code sitting
around doing nothing. This also allows removing a few things from the
main KernelCore class that allows it to use slightly less resources
overall (though very minor and not anything really noticeable).
