- CommandProcessor: the FIFO registers shared by the CPU and GPU
threads are retro_atomic words, read and written through LoadReg and
StoreReg; MMIO's LowPart/HighPart take those words.
- Fifo: the video buffer write and seen pointers, the sync ticks and
the stop request.
- PerfQueryBase: the query count and results sit behind base-class
helpers that every backend (Metal too) uses instead of touching the
atomics.
- Custom assets: the loader's memory delta and an asset's last load
time are 64-bit words; Present's swap flag is an int.
- D3D's input layout, Vulkan's waiting_for_submit.
- InputCommon: a NumericSetting's value and the Wiimote and Android
rumble levels are kept as their bits in a 64-bit word; the
ControllerInterface flags, counter and aspect ratio are int words.
- CachedBlob's fill position and stop flag.
UICommon/GameFileCache is deleted: only the Android app's game list
used it, and that is not part of the core.
Accomplished using `run-clang-tidy` with `performance-move-const-arg,performance-unnecessary-value-param,modernize-pass-by-value`.
Changed arguments to const references, removed them where inappropriate (e.g. sink parameters). Same with std::move.
Manually reviewed each change to make sure that it makes sense, and do something more appropriate if possible.
This specific issue was already addressed by https://github.com/dolphin-emu/dolphin/pull/11635
though I felt like there was something more we could do, and wasn't too happy with the
likelihood of devices update calls being skipped (due to `m_devices_population_mutex` being locked).
Fixes bug: https://bugs.dolphin-emu.org/issues/12744
Before https://github.com/dolphin-emu/dolphin/commit/e1e3db13baabefa89991388d37db0bb260c4f535
the ControllerInterface m_devices_mutex was "wrongfully" locked for the whole Initialize() call, which included the first device population refresh,
this has the unwanted (accidental) consequence of often preventing the different pads (GC Pad, Wii Contollers, ...) input configs from loading
until that mutex was released (the input config defaults loading was blocked in EmulatedController::LoadDefaults()), which meant that the devices
population would often have the time to finish adding its first device, which would then be selected as default device (by design, the first device
added to the CI is the default default device, usually the "Keyboard and Mouse" device).
After the commit mentioned above removed the unnecessary m_devices_mutex calls, the default default device would fail to load (be found)
causing the default input mappings, which are specifically written for the default default device on every platform, to not be bound to any
physical device input, breaking input on new dolphin installations (until a user tried to customize the default device manually).
Default devices are now always added synchronously to avoid the problem, and so they should in the future (I added comments and warnings to help with that)
SPDX standardizes how source code conveys its copyright and licensing
information. See https://spdx.github.io/spdx-spec/1-rationale/ . SPDX
tags are adopted in many large projects, including things like the Linux
kernel.
This helps us keeping the most important devices (e.g. Mouse and Keyboard) on the top
of the list of devices (they still are on all OSes supported by dolphin
and to make hotplug devices like DSU appear at the bottom.
