Placing the array wholesale into the header places a copy of the whole
array into every translation unit that uses the data, which is wasteful.
Particularly given that this array is referenced from three different
translation units.
This also changes the array to contain pairs of const char*, rather than
QString instances. This way, the string data is able to be fixed into
the read-only segment of the program, as well as eliminate static
constructors/heap allocation immediately on program start.
Many of the member variables of the thread class aren't even used
outside of the class itself, so there's no need to make those variables
public. This change follows in the steps of the previous changes that
made other kernel types' members private.
The main motivation behind this is that the Thread class will likely
change in the future as emulation becomes more accurate, and letting
random bits of the emulator access data members of the Thread class
directly makes it a pain to shuffle around and/or modify internals.
Having all data members public like this also makes it difficult to
reason about certain bits of behavior without first verifying what parts
of the core actually use them.
Everything being public also generally follows the tendency for changes
to be introduced in completely different translation units that would
otherwise be better introduced as an addition to the Thread class'
public interface.
Keeps the individual behaviors in their own functions, and cleanly
separate. We can also do a little better by converting the relevant IDs
within the core to a QString only once, instead of converting every
string into a std::string.
Disambiguates what the string represents to help translators more easily
understand what it is that they're translating. While we're at it, we
can move the code to its own function, so that we don't need to specify
the same string twice.
Makes the public interface consistent in terms of how accesses are done
on a process object. It also makes it slightly nicer to reason about the
logic of the process class, as we don't want to expose everything to
external code.
Ternary operators have a lower precedence than arithmetic operators, so
what was actually occurring here is "return (out + full) ? x : y" which most
definitely isn't intended, given we calculate out recursively above. We
were essentially doing a lot of work for nothing.
This can cause warnings about static constructors, and is also not ideal
performance-wise due to the indirection through std::function. This also
keeps the behavior itself separate from the surrounding code, which can
make it nicer to read, due to the size of the code.
Qt provides an overload of tr() that operates on quantities in relation
to pluralization. This also allows the translation to adapt based on the
target language rules better.
For example, the previous code would result in an incorrect translation
for the French language (which doesn't use the pluralized version of
"result" in the case of a total of zero. While in English it's
correct to use the pluralized version of "result", that is, "results"
---
For example:
English: "0 results"
French: "0 résultat" (uses the singular form)
In French, the noun being counted is singular if the quantity is 0 or 1.
In English, on the other hand, if the noun being counted has a quantity
of 0 or N > 1, then the noun is pluralized.
---
For another example in a language that has different counting methods
than the above, consider English and Irish. Irish has a special form of
of a grammatical number called a dual. Which alters how a word is
written when N of something is 2. This won't appear in this case with a
direct number "2", but it would change if we ever used "Two" to refer to
two of something. For example:
English: "Zero results"
Irish: "Toradh ar bith"
English: "One result"
Irish: "Toradh amháin"
English: "Two results"
Irish: "Dhá thorthaí" <- Dual case
Which is an important distinction to make between singular and plural,
because in other situations, "two" on its own would be written as "dó"
in Irish. There's also a few other cases where the order the words are
placed *and* whether or not the plural or singular variant of the word
is used *and* whether or not the word is placed after or between a set
of numbers can vary. Counting in Irish also differs depending on whether or not
you're counting things (like above) or counting people, in which case an
entirely different set of numbers are used.
It's not important for this case, but it's provided as an example as to why one
should never assume the placement of values in text will be like that of
English or other languages. Some languages have very different ways to
represent counting, and breaking up the translated string like this
isn't advisable because it makes it extremely difficult to get right
depending on what language a translator is translating text into due to
the ambiguity of the strings being presented for translation.
In this case a translator would see three fragmented strings on
Transifex (and not necessarily grouped beside one another, but even
then, it would still be annoying to decipher):
- "of"
- "result"
- "results"
There is no way a translator is going to know what those sets of words
are actually used for unless they look at the code to see what is being
done with them (which they shouldn't have to do).
We pass a hint to the QPainter instance that we want anti-aliasing on
the compatibility icons, which prevents the circles from looking fairly
jagged, and actually makes them look circular.
Previously, these were sitting outside of the Kernel namespace, which
doesn't really make sense, given they're related to the Thread class
which is within the Kernel namespace.
Given these are shown to the user, they should be translatable.
While we're at it, also set up the dialog to automatically retranslate
the dialog along with the combo boxes if it receives a LanguageChange
event.
Keeps the individual initialization of the combo boxes logically separate.
We also shouldn't be dumping this sort of thing in the constructor
directly.
"value" is already a used variable name within the outermost ranged-for
loop, so this variable was shadowing the outer one. This isn't a bug,
but it will get rid of a -Wshadow warning.
It allows us to use texture views and it reduces the overhead within the GPU driver.
But it disallows us to reallocate the texture, but we don't do so anyways.
In the end, it is the new way to allocate textures, so there is no need to use the old way.

Lets us keep the generic portions of the compatibility list code
together, and allows us to introduce a type alias that makes it so we
don't need to type out a very long type declaration anymore, making the
immediate readability of some code better.
This has gotten sufficiently large enough to warrant moving it to its
own source files. Especially given it dumps the file_sys headers around
code that doesn't use it for the most part.
This'll also make it easier to introduce a type alias for the
compatibility list, so a large unordered_map type declaration doesn't
need to be specified all the time (we don't want to propagate the
game_list_p.h include via the main game_list.h header).
Eliminates the need to rebuild some source files if the file_util header
ever changes. This also uncovered some indirect inclusions, which have
also been fixed.
The follow-up to e2457418da, which
replaces most of the includes in the core header with forward declarations.
This makes it so that if any of the headers the core header was
previously including change, then no one will need to rebuild the bulk
of the core, due to core.h being quite a prevalent inclusion.
This should make turnaround for changes much faster for developers.
As means to pave the way for getting rid of global state within core,
This eliminates kernel global state by removing all globals. Instead
this introduces a KernelCore class which acts as a kernel instance. This
instance lives in the System class, which keeps its lifetime contained
to the lifetime of the System class.
This also forces the kernel types to actually interact with the main
kernel instance itself instead of having transient kernel state placed
all over several translation units, keeping everything together. It also
has a nice consequence of making dependencies much more explicit.
This also makes our initialization a tad bit more correct. Previously we
were creating a kernel process before the actual kernel was initialized,
which doesn't really make much sense.
The KernelCore class itself follows the PImpl idiom, which allows
keeping all the implementation details sealed away from everything else,
which forces the use of the exposed API and allows us to avoid any
unnecessary inclusions within the main kernel header.
Makes the class interface consistent and provides accessors for
obtaining a reference to the memory manager instance.
Given we also return references, this makes our more flimsy uses of
const apparent, given const doesn't propagate through pointers in the
way one would typically expect. This makes our mutable state more
apparent in some places.
