reading is now done using the FLAC wrapper. There is now a
samples_iterator class to centralize the logic for handling
the sample list walking.
Also redid the cheesy half-baked votrax device since it relied
on some old samples-based handling. Until we have a real
implementation, it would be good to route the various clients
through the current one to at least wire it up properly, even
if it just plays samples in the end. Will look into that
shortly.
* Remove hardcoded ".wav" sample extensions from within drivers
* Update samples.c to check for both .flac and .wav extensions when loading a sample
* Made sample loading failure a bit more verbose (various zips contained 0 byte samples, I assume to keep clrmame happy or something)
* Fixed memory allocation with 8-bit flac samples

cases, we can get rid of the postload function entirely and just
call directly to the target function. Drivers eventually should
just override device_postload() instead of registering for callbacks.
existing modern devices and the legacy wrappers to work in this
environment. This in general greatly simplifies writing a modern
device. [Aaron Giles]
General notes:
* some more cleanup probably needs to happen behind this change,
but I needed to get it in before the next device modernization
or import from MESS :)
* new template function device_creator which automatically defines
the static function that creates the device; use this instead of
creating a static_alloc_device_config function
* added device_stop() method which is called at around the time
the previous device_t's destructor was called; if you auto_free
anything, do it here because the machine is gone when the
destructor is called
* changed the static_set_* calls to pass a device_t & instead of
a device_config *
* for many devices, the static config structure member names over-
lapped the device's names for devcb_* functions; in these cases
the members in the interface were renamed to have a _cb suffix
* changed the driver_enumerator to only cache 100 machine_configs
because caching them all took a ton of memory; fortunately this
implementation detail is completely hidden behind the
driver_enumerator interface
* got rid of the macros for creating derived classes; doing it
manually is now clean enough that it isn't worth hiding the
details in a macro
Remove redundant machine items from address_space and device_t.
Neither machine nor m_machine are directly accessible anymore.
Instead a new getter machine() is available which returns a
machine reference. So:
space->machine->xxx ==> space->machine().xxx
device->machine->yyy ==> device->machine().yyy
Globally changed all running_machine pointers to running_machine
references. Any function/method that takes a running_machine takes
it as a required parameter (1 or 2 exceptions). Being consistent
here gets rid of a lot of odd &machine or *machine, but it does
mean a very large bulk change across the project.
Structs which have a running_machine * now have that variable
renamed to m_machine, and now have a shiny new machine() method
that works like the space and device methods above. Since most of
these are things that should eventually be devices anyway, consider
this a step in that direction.
98% of the update was done with regex searches. The changes are
architected such that the compiler will catch the remaining
errors:
// find things that use an embedded machine directly and replace
// with a machine() getter call
S: ->machine->
R: ->machine\(\)\.
// do the same if via a reference
S: \.machine->
R: \.machine\(\)\.
// convert function parameters to running_machine &
S: running_machine \*machine([^;])
R: running_machine \&machine\1
// replace machine-> with machine.
S: machine->
R: machine\.
// replace &machine() with machine()
S: \&([()->a-z0-9_]+machine\(\))
R: \1
// sanity check: look for this used as a cast
(running_machine &)
// and change to this:
*(running_machine *)
to private member variables with accessors:
machine->m_respool ==> machine->respool()
machine->config ==> machine->config()
machine->gamedrv ==> machine->system()
machine->m_regionlist ==> machine->first_region()
machine->sample_rate ==> machine->sample_rate()
Also converted internal lists to use simple_list.
functionality in favor of alternate mechanisms. Errors are
now reported via an astring rather than via callbacks. Every
option must now specify a type (command, integer, float, string,
boolean, etc). Command behavior has changed so that only one
command is permitted. [Aaron Giles]
Changed fileio system to accept just a raw searchpath instead of
an options/option name combination. [Aaron Giles]
Created emu_options class dervied from core_options which wraps
core emulator options. Added mechanisms to cleanly change the
system name and add/remove system-specific options, versus the
old way using callbacks. Also added read accessors for all the
options, to ensure consistency in how parameters are handled.
Changed most core systems to access emu_options instead of
core_options. Also changed machine->options() to return emu_options.
[Aaron Giles]
Created cli_options class derived from emu_options which adds the
command-line specific options. Updated clifront code to leverage
the new class and the new core behaviors. cli_execute() now accepts
a cli_options object when called. [Aaron Giles]
Updated both SDL and Windows to have their own options classes,
derived from cli_options, which add the OSD-specific options on
top of everything else. Added accessors for all the options so
that queries are strongly typed and simplified. [Aaron Giles]
Out of whatsnew: I've surely screwed up some stuff, though I have
smoke tested a bunch of things. Let me know if you hit anything odd.
Also I know this change will impact the WINUI stuff, please let me
know if there are issues. All the functionality necessary should
still be present. If it's not obvious, please talk to me before
adding stuff to the core_options class.
to pass a core_options object to the constructor, along with
a search path. This required pushing either a running_machine
or a core_options through some code that wasn't previously
ready to handle it. emu_files can be reused over multiple
open/close sessions, and a lot of core code cleaned up
nicely as things were converted to them.
Also created a file_enumerator class for iterating over files
in a searchpath. This replaces the old mame_openpath functions.
Changed machine->options() to return a reference.
Removed public nvram_open() and fixed jchan/kaneko16 to
stop directly saving NVRAM.
Removed most of the mame_options() calls; this will soon go
away entirely, so don't add any more.
Added core_options to device_validity_check() so they can be
used to validate things.
are still intact. The new state_manager class has templatized methods
for saving the various types, and through template specialization can
save more complex system types cleanly (like bitmaps and attotimes).
Added new mechanism to detect proper state save types. This is much
more strict and there will likely be some games/devices that fatalerror
at startup until they are remedied. Spot checking has caught the more
common situations.
The new state_manager is embedded directly in the running_machine,
allowing objects to register state saving in their constructors now.
Added NAME() macro which is a generalization of FUNC() and can be
used to wrap variables that are registered when directly using the
new methods as opposed to the previous macros. For example:
machine->state().save_item(NAME(global_item))
Added methods in the device_t class that implicitly register state
against the current device, making for a cleaner interface.
Just a couple of required regexes for now:
state_save_register_postload( *)\(( *)([^,;]+), *
\3->state().register_postload\1\(\2
state_save_register_presave( *)\(( *)([^,;]+), *
\3->state().register_presave\1\(\2
into one file, and separated the speaker device into its own file.
Generalized the concept of dynamically assigned inputs and re-wired the
speaker to work this way, so it is now treated just like any other
sound device. Added methods to the device_sound_interface for controlling
output gain and mapping device inputs/outputs to stream inputs/outputs.
Also made the sound_stream_update() method pure virtual, so all modern
sound devices must use the new mechanism for stream updates.
Primary changes outside of the core are:
stream_update(stream) == stream->update()
stream_create(device,...) == machine->sound().stream_alloc(*device,...)
sound_global_enable(machine,enable) == machine->sound().system_enable(enable)
Beyond this, the patterns are relatively obvious for the remaining calls.

Subject: [patch] Despecialize legacy sound devices
To: submit@mamedev.org
Cc: atariace@hotmail.com
Hi mamedev,
While poking around in the MAME source code, I came across the odd
type snes_sound_sound_device, which led me to the fact that legacy
sound devices are named a bit differently than other legacy devices,
probably a kludge intended to be changed later but forgotten. Anyhow,
this patch fixes it. The first patch goes part way, changing all but
the tag (which fixes the weird type issue). It also changes type
names in the scsp and msm5232 cores to avoid a name collision if/when
the second patch is applied. The second patch then touches a lot of
files, mostly removing the SOUND_ prefix from type asserts, but it
also needed to change the tags for the LASERDISC, S2636 and SPEAKER
sound cores to avoid collisions with other devices with the same name.

running_machine definition and implementation.
Moved global machine-level operations and accessors into methods on the
running_machine class. For the most part, this doesn't affect drivers
except for a few occasional bits:
mame_get_phase() == machine->phase()
add_reset_callback() == machine->add_notifier(MACHINE_NOTIFY_RESET, ...)
add_exit_callback() == machine->add_notifier(MACHINE_NOTIFY_EXIT, ...)
mame_get_base_datetime() == machine->base_datetime()
mame_get_current_datetime() == machine->current_datetime()
Cleaned up the region_info class, removing most global region accessors
except for memory_region() and memory_region_length(). Again, this doesn't
generally affect drivers.
devices to use this macro in their .c file. This greatly reduces the amount
of work the linker has to do to combine all the instances, and reduces the
final binary size when building with symbols. Unfortunately, in order to do
it I had to switch back to macros from templates, but I can live with that
for legacy devices.
performance as a result of this change. Do not panic; report issues to the
list in the short term and I will look into them. There are probably also
some details I forgot to mention. Please ask questions if anything is not
clear.
NOTE: This is a major internal change to the way devices are handled in
MAME. There is a small impact on drivers, but the bulk of the changes are
to the devices themselves. Full documentation on the new device handling
is in progress at http://mamedev.org/devwiki/index.php/MAME_Device_Basics
Defined two new casting helpers: [Aaron Giles]
downcast<type>(value) should be used for safe and efficient downcasting
from a base class to a derived class. It wraps static_cast<> by adding
an assert that a matching dynamic_cast<> returns the same result in
debug builds.
crosscast<type>(value) should be used for safe casting from one type to
another in multiple inheritance scenarios. It compiles to a
dynamic_cast<> plus an assert on the result. Since it does not optimize
down to static_cast<>, you should prefer downcast<> over crosscast<>
when you can.
Redefined running_device to be a proper C++ class (now called device_t).
Same for device_config (still called device_config). All devices and
device_configs must now be derived from these base classes. This means
each device type now has a pair of its own unique classes that describe
the device. Drivers are encouraged to use the specific device types
instead of the generic running_device or device_t classes. Drivers that
have a state class defined in their header file are encouraged to use
initializers off the constructor to locate devices. [Aaron Giles]
Removed the following fields from the device and device configuration
classes as they never were necessary or provided any use: device class,
device family, source file, version, credits. [Aaron Giles]
Added templatized variant of machine->device() which performs a downcast
as part of the device fetch. Thus machine->device<timer_device>("timer")
will locate a device named "timer", downcast it to a timer_device, and
assert if the downcast fails. [Aaron Giles]
Removed most publically accessible members of running_device/device_t in
favor of inline accessor functions. The only remaining public member is
machine. Thus all references to device->type are now device->type(), etc.
[Aaron Giles]
Created a number of device interface classes which are designed to be mix-
ins for the device classes, providing specific extended functionality and
information. There are standard interface classes for sound, execution,
state, nvram, memory, and disassembly. Devices can opt into 0 or more of
these classes. [Aaron Giles]
Converted the classic CPU device to a standard device that uses the
execution, state, memory, and disassembly interfaces. Used this new class
(cpu_device) to implement the existing CPU device interface. In the future
it will be possible to convert each CPU core to its own device type, but
for now they are still all CPU devices with a cpu_type() that specifies
exactly which kind of CPU. [Aaron Giles]
Created a new header devlegcy.h which wraps the old device interface using
some special template classes. To use these with an existing device,
simply remove from the device header the DEVICE_GET_INFO() declaration and
the #define mapping the ALL_CAPS name to the DEVICE_GET_INFO. In their
place #include "devlegcy.h" and use the DECLARE_LEGACY_DEVICE() macro.
In addition, there is a DECLARE_LEGACY_SOUND_DEVICE() macro for wrapping
existing sound devices into new-style devices, and a
DECLARE_LEGACY_NVRAM_DEVICE() for wrapping NVRAM devices. Also moved the
token and inline_config members to the legacy device class, as these are
not used in modern devices. [Aaron Giles]
Converted the standard base devices (VIDEO_SCREEN, SPEAKER, and TIMER)
from legacy devices to the new C++ style. Also renamed VIDEO_SCREEN to
simply SCREEN. The various global functions that were previously used to
access information or modify the state of these devices are now replaced
by methods on the device classes. Specifically:
video_screen_configure() == screen->configure()
video_screen_set_visarea() == screen->set_visible_area()
video_screen_update_partial() == screen->update_partial()
video_screen_update_now() == screen->update_now()
video_screen_get_vpos() == screen->vpos()
video_screen_get_hpos() == screen->hpos()
video_screen_get_vblank() == screen->vblank()
video_screen_get_hblank() == screen->hblank()
video_screen_get_width() == screen->width()
video_screen_get_height() == screen->height()
video_screen_get_visible_area() == screen->visible_area()
video_screen_get_time_until_pos() == screen->time_until_pos()
video_screen_get_time_until_vblank_start() ==
screen->time_until_vblank_start()
video_screen_get_time_until_vblank_end() ==
screen->time_until_vblank_end()
video_screen_get_time_until_update() == screen->time_until_update()
video_screen_get_scan_period() == screen->scan_period()
video_screen_get_frame_period() == screen->frame_period()
video_screen_get_frame_number() == screen->frame_number()
timer_device_adjust_oneshot() == timer->adjust()
timer_device_adjust_periodic() == timer->adjust()
timer_device_reset() == timer->reset()
timer_device_enable() == timer->enable()
timer_device_enabled() == timer->enabled()
timer_device_get_param() == timer->param()
timer_device_set_param() == timer->set_param()
timer_device_get_ptr() == timer->get_ptr()
timer_device_set_ptr() == timer->set_ptr()
timer_device_timeelapsed() == timer->time_elapsed()
timer_device_timeleft() == timer->time_left()
timer_device_starttime() == timer->start_time()
timer_device_firetime() == timer->fire_time()
Updated all drivers that use the above functions to fetch the specific
device type (timer_device or screen_device) and call the appropriate
method. [Aaron Giles]
Changed machine->primary_screen and the 'screen' parameter to VIDEO_UPDATE
to specifically pass in a screen_device object. [Aaron Giles]
Defined a new custom interface for the Z80 daisy chain. This interface
behaves like the standard interfaces, and can be added to any device that
implements the Z80 daisy chain behavior. Converted all existing Z80 daisy
chain devices to new-style devices that inherit this interface.
[Aaron Giles]
Changed the way CPU state tables are built up. Previously, these were data
structures defined by a CPU core which described all the registers and how
to output them. This functionality is now part of the state interface and
is implemented via the device_state_entry class. Updated all CPU cores
which were using the old data structure to use the new form. The syntax is
currently awkward, but will be cleaner for CPUs that are native new
devices. [Aaron Giles]
Converted the okim6295 and eeprom devices to the new model. These were
necessary because they both require multiple interfaces to operate and it
didn't make sense to create legacy device templates for these single cases.
(okim6295 needs the sound interface and the memory interface, while eeprom
requires both the nvram and memory interfaces). [Aaron Giles]
Changed parameters in a few callback functions from pointers to references
in situations where they are guaranteed to never be NULL. [Aaron Giles]
Removed MDRV_CPU_FLAGS() which was only used for disabling a CPU. Changed
it to MDRV_DEVICE_DISABLE() instead. Updated drivers. [Aaron Giles]
Reorganized the token parsing for machine configurations. The core parsing
code knows how to create/replace/remove devices, but all device token
parsing is now handled in the device_config class, which in turn will make
use of any interface classes or device-specific token handling for custom
token processing. [Aaron Giles]
Moved many validity checks out of validity.c and into the device interface
classes. For example, address space validation is now part of the memory
interface class. [Aaron Giles]
Consolidated address space parameters (bus width, endianness, etc.) into
a single address_space_config class. Updated all code that queried for
address space parameters to use the new mechanism. [Aaron Giles]
is now separate from runtime device state. I have larger plans
for devices, so there is some temporary scaffolding to hold
everything together, but this first step does separate things
out.
There is a new class 'running_device' which represents the
state of a live device. A list of these running_devices sits
in machine->devicelist and is created when a running_machine
is instantiated.
To access the configuration state, use device->baseconfig()
which returns a reference to the configuration.
The list of running_devices in machine->devicelist has a 1:1
correspondance with the list of device configurations in
machine->config->devicelist, and most navigation options work
equally on either (scanning by class, type, etc.)
For the most part, drivers will now deal with running_device
objects instead of const device_config objects. In fact, in
order to do this patch, I did the following global search &
replace:
const device_config -> running_device
device->static_config -> device->baseconfig().static_config
device->inline_config -> device->baseconfig().inline_config
and then fixed up the compiler errors that fell out.
Some specifics:
Removed device_get_info_* functions and replaced them with
methods called get_config_*.
Added methods for get_runtime_* to access runtime state from
the running_device.
DEVICE_GET_INFO callbacks are only passed a device_config *.
This means they have no access to the token or runtime state
at all. For most cases this is fine.
Added new DEVICE_GET_RUNTIME_INFO callback that is passed
the running_device for accessing data that is live at runtime.
In the future this will go away to make room for a cleaner
mechanism.
Cleaned up the handoff of memory regions from the memory
subsystem to the devices.
- Created new central header "emu.h"; this should be included
by pretty much any driver or device as the first include. This
file in turn includes pretty much everything a driver or device
will need, minus any other devices it references. Note that
emu.h should *never* be included by another header file.
- Updated all files in the core (src/emu) to use emu.h.
- Removed a ton of redundant and poorly-tracked header includes
from within other header files.
- Temporarily changed driver.h to map to emu.h until we update
files outside of the core.
Added class wrapper around tagmap so it can be directly included
and accessed within objects that need it. Updated all users to
embed tagmap objects and changed them to call through the class.
Added nicer functions for finding devices, ports, and regions in
a machine:
machine->device("tag") -- return the named device, or NULL
machine->port("tag") -- return the named port, or NULL
machine->region("tag"[, &length[, &flags]]) -- return the
named region and optionally its length and flags
Made the device tag an astring. This required touching a lot of
code that printed the device to explicitly fetch the C-string
from it. (Thank you gcc for flagging that issue!)
useable as a stack object. Also designed the interfaces to allow
for chaining operations. And added a casting operator to const
char * for seamless use in most functions that take plain old C
strings.
Changed all uses of astring to use the object directly on the
stack or embedded in objects instead of explicitly allocating
and deallocating it. Removed a lot of annoying memory management
code as a result.
Changed interfaces that accepted/returned an astring * to
use an astring & instead.
Removed auto_alloc_astring(machine). Use
auto_alloc(machine, astring) instead.
This update changes the way we handle memory allocation. Rather
than allocating in terms of bytes, allocations are now done in
terms of objects. This is done via new set of macros that replace
the malloc_or_die() macro:
alloc_or_die(t) - allocate memory for an object of type 't'
alloc_array_or_die(t,c) - allocate memory for an array of 'c' objects of type 't'
alloc_clear_or_die(t) - same as alloc_or_die but memset's the memory to 0
alloc_array_clear_or_die(t,c) - same as alloc_array_or_die but memset's the memory to 0
All original callers of malloc_or_die have been updated to call these
new macros. If you just need an array of bytes, you can use
alloc_array_or_die(UINT8, numbytes).
Made a similar change to the auto_* allocation macros. In addition,
added 'machine' as a required parameter to the auto-allocation macros,
as the resource pools will eventually be owned by the machine object.
The new macros are:
auto_alloc(m,t) - allocate memory for an object of type 't'
auto_alloc_array(m,t,c) - allocate memory for an array of 'c' objects of type 't'
auto_alloc_clear(m,t) - allocate and memset
auto_alloc_array_clear(m,t,c) - allocate and memset
All original calls or auto_malloc have been updated to use the new
macros. In addition, auto_realloc(), auto_strdup(), auto_astring_alloc(),
and auto_bitmap_alloc() have been updated to take a machine parameter.
Changed validity check allocations to not rely on auto_alloc* anymore
because they are not done in the context of a machine.
One final change that is included is the removal of SMH_BANKn macros.
Just use SMH_BANK(n) instead, which is what the previous macros mapped
to anyhow.
Please note: regression testing is in progress, but the first round
of glaring regressions have already been taken care of. That said,
there is likely to be a host of regressions as a result of this
change.
Also note: There are still a few rough edges in the interfaces. I
will try to clean them up systematically once the basic system is
working.
All sound chips are now proper devices.
Merged the sound chip interface into the device interface,
removing any differences (such as the whole ALIASing concept).
Modified every sound chip in the following ways:
* updated to match the device interface
* reduced read/write handlers down to the minimal number
* added the use of get_safe_token() for ensuring correctness
* other minor cleanup
Removed the custom sound device. The additional work to just make
custom sound cases into full devices is minimal, so I just converted
them all over to be actual devices.
Vastly simplified the sound interfaces, removing the ghastly
sndti_* business and moving everyone over to using tags for
sound identity. sndintrf, like cpuintrf, is now just a header
file with no implementation.
Modified each and every driver that references a sound chip:
* all memory maps explicitly reference the targeted device via
AM_DEVREAD/AM_DEVWRITE/AM_DEVREADWRITE
* 16-bit and 32-bit accesses to 8-bit chips no longer use
trampoline functions but instead use the 8-bit AM_DEVREAD/WRITE
macros
* all references to sound chips are now done via tags
* note that these changes are brute force, not optimal; in many
cases drivers should grab pointers to devices in MACHINE_START
and stash them away

Here we go.
OG.
or ENDIANNESS_BIG based on the LSB_FIRST definition. Unlink LSB_FIRST,
ENDIANNESS_NATIVE always exists and can be used in expressions without
invoking the preprocessor.
Added macro ENDIAN_VALUE_LE_BE() which selects one of two values based
on the endianness passed in. Also added NATIVE_ENDIAN_VALUE_LE_BE()
which calls ENDIAN_VALUE_LE_BE with ENDIANNESS_NATIVE.
Updated a number of drivers and call sites to use these macros in favor
of #ifdef LSB_FIRST.
interfaces when handling strings. Namely, the generic
get_info functions allocate a temporary string and the
device in question copies its string to the target,
instead of assigning a const char *. Updated all device
and sound cores to operate this way.
Added the concept of a cpu_state_table, which is
supplied by the CPU cores and which describes all the
register state accessible to the debugger and other
subsystems. The format of the table is such that most
data can be simply fetched from memory without the
further involvement of the CPU core, including the
display of common formats. Extensibility points are
available for custom display and for importing/exporting
the data to intermediate variables for more complicated
scenarios. Updated the ADSP21xx, TMS340x0, and i86 cores
to use this.
Removed the old debugger register list, which was never
used. Replaced it with using ordering from the
cpu_state_table.
Renamed REG_PC -> REG_GENPC, REG_SP -> REG_GENSP, and
REG_PREVIOUSPC -> REG_GENPCBASE. Updated a few spots
that were using these directly. Moved these definitions
into the end of the register area rather than leaving
them outside which put them in a weird range.

Subject: [patch] STREAM_UPDATE update
Hi mamedev,
This patch modifies the parameters of the stream_update_func callback.
The first two patches go through and changes all the callbacks to use
a consistent set of parameters (the larger patch was mechanically
generated, the smaller second patch are hand edits where review or
compilation showed issues with the automatic conversion). The third
patch then macroizes all the callbacks to STREAM_UPDATE, and was done
mechanically except for the change to streams.h. The fourth patch
then adds device to the callback, and eliminates Machine in a handful
of callbacks by referencing the device. deprecat.h -= 8.

Hi mamedev,
This patch eliminates most uses of deprecat.h in the sound cores by

Subject: [patch] Add device parameter to stream_create()
Hi mamedev,
This patch adds the sound device to the parameters passed to
stream_create so that the global Machine can be removed from
streams.c. It assumes my previous patch which added CUSTOM_START and
SAMPLES_START has been applied.
~aa
This is a reworked/expanded version of the patch I sent yesterday.
This one is split into three parts:
1. This introduces function macros for SAMPLES_START,
CUSTOM_{START,STOP,RESET}, and ANTIC_RENDERER.
2. This introduces running_machine *machine throughout MAME.
Principally it adds running_machine *machine = Machine to the top of
functions, but in some static functions the parameter is added
directly. Some similar changes in 99xxcore.h, v9938.c, v9938mod.c,
galaxold.c, psx.c, taito_l.c are also made to eliminate Machine
params. No global API is changed.
3. This changes the APIs introduced in the first part to pass device
or space as appropriate. A few similar changes in some other global
apis are made as well.
The net result of this sequence of patches is to remove 40% of the
Machine references and 27 deprecat.h includes.
~aa
appropriate, and to keep all global variables hanging off the
machine structure. Once again, this means all state registration
call sites have been touched:
- state_save_register_global* now takes a machine parameter
- state_save_register_item* now takes a machine parameter
- added new state_save_register_device_item* which now uses
the device name and tag to generate the base name
Extended the fake sound devices to have more populated fields.
Modified sound cores to use tags from the devices and simplified
the start function.
Renumbered CPU and sound get/set info constants to align with
the device constants, and shared values where they were perfectly
aligned.
Set the type field in the fake device_configs for CPU and sound
chips to a get_info stub which calls through to the CPU and sound
specific get_info functions. This means the device_get_info()
functions work for CPU and sound cores, even in their fake state.
Changed device information getters from device_info() to
device_get_info() to match the CPU and sound macros.
recent cpu core changes. Specifically, it adds a fake device
implementation similar to the one the cpu cores were using in 128u3
(i.e. it only provides the machine pointer and the token), and makes
some interface adjustments aligned to 128u4 (i.e. adding
snd_class_header, adding get_ to various getter functions). The
primary benefit of this change is the removal of "deprecat.h" from 23
sound cores. I also adjusted ui.c to stop calling sndnum_clock and
access the clock data similarly to how it does the cpu clock data.

state_save_combine_module_and_tag() function in favor of passing
the tag when registering. Revisited all save state item registrations
and changed them to use the tag where appropriate.
With Aaron's change to macroize the cpu apis, the cpu/sound interfaces
are now using different idioms. This patch fixes that. It uses the
prefix SND_ instead of SOUND_, to avoid changing SOUND_START,
SOUND_RESET in driver.h. While working on it, I noticed that the
reset routines for k053260, msm5205, upd7759 and vlm5030 aren't hooked
up, but I decided this was an oversight and macroized the functions
anyways (but left them unhooked).

integer value, regions are now referred to by a region class and
a region tag. The class specifies the type of region (one of CPU,
gfx, sound, user, disk, prom, pld) while the tag uniquely specifies
the region. This change required updating all the ROM region
definitions in the project to specify the class/tag instead of
region number.
Updated the core memory_region_* functions to accept a class/tag
pair. Added new memory_region_next() function to allow for iteration
over all memory regions of a given class. Added new function
memory_region_class_name() to return the name for a given CPU
memory region class.
Changed the auto-binding behavior of CPU regions. Previously, the
first CPU would auto-bind to REGION_CPU1 (that is, any ROM references
would automatically assume that they lived in the corresponding
region). Now, each CPU automatically binds to the RGNCLASS_CPU region
with the same tag as the CPU itself. This behavior required ensuring
that all previous REGION_CPU* regions were changed to RGNCLASS_CPU
with the same tag as the CPU.
Introduced a new auto-binding mechanism for sound cores. This works
similarly to the CPU binding. Each sound core that requires a memory
region now auto-binds to the RGNCLASS_SOUND with the same tag as the
sound core. In almost all cases, this allowed for the removal of the
explicit region item in the sound configuration, which in turn
allowed for many sound configurations to removed altogether.
Updated the expression engine's memory reference behavior. A recent
update expanded the scope of memory references to allow for referencing
data in non-active CPU spaces, in memory regions, and in EEPROMs.
However, this previous update required an index, which is no longer
appropriate for regions and will become increasingly less appropriate
for CPUs over time. Instead, a new syntax is supported, of the form:
"[tag.][space]size@addr", where 'tag' is an optional tag for the CPU
or memory region you wish to access, followed by a period as a
separator; 'space' is the memory address space or region class you
wish to access (p/d/i for program/data/I/O spaces; o for opcode space;
r for direct RAM; c/u/g/s for CPU/user/gfx/sound regions; e for
EEPROMs); and 'size' is the usual b/w/d/q for byte/word/dword/qword.
Cleaned up ROM definition flags and removed some ugly hacks that had
existed previously. Expanded to support up to 256 BIOSes. Updated
ROM_COPY to support specifying class/tag for the source region.
Updated the address map AM_REGION macro to support specifying a
class/tag for the region.
Updated debugger windows to display the CPU and region tags where
appropriate.
Updated -listxml to output region class and tag for each ROM entry.
only remaining form is the one that takes a pointer parameter.
Added macros for STATE_PRESAVE and STATE_POSTLOAD to define common
functions. Added machine parameter to these functions.
Updated all drivers and CPU/sound cores to use the new macros
and consolidate on the single function type. As a result pushed
the machine parameter through a few initialization stacks.
Removed unnecessary postload callbacks which only marked all tiles
dirty, since this is done automatically by the tilemap engine.
The idea is to create extra work if a driver wants to use these and hopefully
gives an incentive to look for an alternate solution
- Added #include of deprecat.h that rely on these contructs
- Removed a bunch of unneccassary #include's from these files
- removed years from copyright notices
- removed redundant (c) from copyright notices
- updated "the MAME Team" to be "Nicola Salmoria and the MAME Team"
