[a|w|t|utf8]_from_[a|w|t|utf8_]string(xyz.c_str()) seems to be common enough to justify overloads. Also, I'm explicitly assuming that it is legal to override the NUL pointer within a C++ basic_string (e.g. - s[s.size()] = '\0'). As far as I can tell, this seems to be legal - please don't shoot if I am wrong.
This eliminated an unnecessary conversion step.
Also, I have no idea what this WINAPI_FAMILY_PARTITION(WINAPI_PARTITION_DESKTOP) stuff is; it is hard to understand how it could possibly be correct because it ignores the 'window' parameter
* Eliminate globals/file statics
* Remove lots of stuff from global scope
* Use std::function for custom command registration
* Eliminate some trampolines
* Build fixes from Vas Crabb and balr0g
Replace the old device_iterator and its specialized versions with functionally equivalent classes that use standard operators to yield references to devices/interfaces rather than pointers. With range-based for loops, they no longer have to be stored in named variables, though they can also be reused concurrently since the iteration state is now maintained by a subclass.
Add a few more typical getters to device_t::subdevice_list.
Update MAME to use new function
Instantiate ODR-used static constant members
Make some of the UI code more localisable
Remove use of retired functions in tools
