- Window height was 0 after a switch from fullscreen to windowed if
sdlmame was started in fullscreen
- Fixed -switchres. This is now working on Ubuntu 14.04 again.
Performance will vary on your hardware and drivers and I suspect
SDL to be partly broken.
-Moved midi handling in base class
-Cleaned running_machine of information of next machine
-All is cleaned after exiting of running_machine so debugger window is removed as well till next machine is started
-Made osdmini to compile
Moved delegates into /src/lib/util to enable usage of delegates in other project parts
Moved mame_printf_* calls into /src/osd/osdcore.c and renamed them to osd_printf_*
Changed mess.mak to display compilation of ymmu100.ppm nicely
[Aaron Giles]
* these classes now no longer take a resource_pool; everything is
managed globally -- this means that objects added to lists must be
allocated with global_alloc
* added new auto_pointer<> template which wraps a pointer and auto-frees
it upon destruction; it also defaults to NULL so it doesn't need to
be explicitly initialized
* moved tagged_list template to tagmap.h
Redo of the low-level memory tracking system: [Aaron Giles]
* moved low-level tracking out of emu\emualloc into lib\util\corealloc
so it can be shared among all components and used by core libraries
* global_alloc and friends no longer use a resource pool to track
allocations; turns out this was a wholly redundant system that wasted
a lot of memory
* removed global_resource_pool entirely
* added global_free_array to delete arrays allocated with
global_alloc_array
* added tracking of object versus array allocation; we will now error
if you use global_free on an array, or global_free_array on an object
Added new utility helper const_string_pool which can be used to
efficiently accumulate strings that are not intended to be modified.
Used by updated makelist and software list code. [Aaron Giles]
Updated png2bdc and makelist tools to not leak memory and use more modern
techniques (no more MAX_DRIVERS in makelist, for example). [Aaron Giles]
Deprecated auto_strdup and removed all uses by way of caller-managed
astrings and the software list rewrite. [Aaron Giles]
Rewrote software list management: [Aaron Giles]
* removed the notion of a software_list that is separate from a
software_list_device; they are one and the same now
* moved several functions into device_image_interface since they really
didn't belong in the core software list class
* lots of simplification as a result of the above changes
Additional notes (no whatsnew):
Moved definition of FPTR to osdcomm.h.
Some changes happened in the OSD code to fix issues, especially regarding
freeing arrays. SDL folks may need to fix up some of these.
The following devices still are using tokens and should be modernized

delete it, which you can't):

Out of whatsnew: there are still a few files being worked on, and the build scripts which are currently set up outside of the MAME source hierarchy. Always open to cleaner ways of doing things.
intended differences from previous behavior. For drivers,
the main change is that input_port_read() no longer exists.
Instead, the port must be fetched from the appropriate device,
and then read() is called.
For member functions, this is actually simpler/cleaner:
value = ioport("tag")->read()
For legacy functions which have a driver_data state, it goes:
value = state->ioport("tag")->read()
For other legacy functions, they need to fetch the root device:
value = machine.root_device().ioport("tag")->read()
The other big change for drivers is that IPT_VBLANK is gone.
Instead, it has been replaced by a device line callback on the
screen device. There's a new macro PORT_VBLANK("tag") which
automatically points things to the right spot.
Here's a set of imperfect search & replace strings to convert
the input_port_read calls and fix up IPT_VBLANK:
input_port_read( *\( *)(machine\(\)) *, *([^)]+ *\))
ioport\1\3->read\(\)
input_port_read( *\( *)(.*machine[()]*) *, *([^)]+ *\))
\2\.root_device\(\)\.ioport\1\3->read\(\)
(state = .*driver_data[^}]+)space->machine\(\)\.root_device\(\)\.
\1state->
(state = .*driver_data[^}]+)device->machine\(\)\.root_device\(\)\.
\1state->
input_port_read_safe( *\( *)(machine\(\)) *, *([^,]+), *([^)]+\))
ioport\1\3->read_safe\(\4\)
IPT_VBLANK( *\))
IPT_CUSTOM\1 PORT_VBLANK("screen")
To test it, I used my Logitech Trackball (normally a mouse) and configured it as a joystick.
Prerequisites:
- Locate your linux input device for the trackball. In my case that's /dev/input/event3
- "sudo chmod a+r /dev/input/event3"
- "export SDL_JOYSTICK_DEVICE=/dev/input/event3"
This forces sdl to recognize the trackball as a input device.
-mame64 missile -nomouse -w
Configure the trackball axis. Make sure the mouse pointer is outside the window and window still has keyboard focus - most modern window manager should support this.
Quit and restart with
-mame64 missile -mouse -now
to hide the mouse. Voila. Works.
- The SDL team has moved from 1.3 to 2.0. At the same time, changes were made to allow SDL1.2 and SDL2.0 to coexist. All SDL2.0 include files are now in /usr/include/SDL2.
- Added sdlinc.h to avoid having tons of #ifdef .. #include in the code.
- Scalemode is no longer a per-window setting
- Fixed a bug in YUV rendering.
- Use SDL_GetClipboard (SDL2.0)
- Updated README_SDL20.txt
Currently, SDL 2.0 is only supported on *nix. Volunteers welcome.
Low-level input upgrade. Classes now exist for input_codes, input_items,
input_devices, and input_seqs. Also created an input_manager class to
hold machine-global state and made it accessible via machine.input().
Expanded the device index range (0-255, up from 0-16), and the OSD can
now specify the device index explicitly if they can better keep the
indexes from varying run-to-run. [Aaron Giles]
Note that I've built and run SDL on Windows, but not all the code paths
were exercised. If you use mice/joysticks extensively double-check them
to be sure it all still works as expected.
This is mainly an OSD and core change. The only thing impacting drivers
is if they query for specific keys for debugging. The following S&Rs
took care of most of that:
S: input_code_pressed( *)\(( *)([^, ]+) *, *
R: \3\.input\(\)\.code_pressed\1\(\2
S: input_code_pressed_once( *)\(( *)([^, ]+) *, *
R: \3\.input\(\)\.code_pressed_once\1\(\2
