- Fixed disassembly window not following PC correctly.
- Switched font to Courier New since it seems more universal.
- Fixed gaps between rendered text characters.
- Plumbed mouse handling through the debugger core (clicking selects).
- Made the Enter key behave like old SDL debugger; silently steps.
device_memory_interface::space() assert against NULL and
return a reference, and pushed references throughout all
address space usage in the system. Added a has_space()
method to check for those rare case when it is ambiguous.
[Aaron Giles]
Also reinstated the generic space and added fatal error
handlers if anyone tries to actually read/write from it.
read/write handlers to take an address_space & instead
of an address_space *. Also update pretty much all other
functions to take a reference where appropriate.

and paths consistently for devices, I/O ports, memory
regions, memory banks, and memory shares. [Aaron Giles]
NOTE: there are likely regressions lurking here, mostly
due to devices not being properly found. I have temporarily
added more logging to -verbose to help understand what's
going on. Please let me know ASAP if anything that is being
actively worked on got broken.
As before, the driver device is the root device and all
other devices are owned by it. Previously all devices
were kept in a single master list, and the hierarchy was
purely logical. With this change, each device owns its
own list of subdevices, and the hierarchy is explicitly
manifest. This means when a device is removed, all of its
subdevices are automatically removed as well.
A side effect of this is that walking the device list is
no longer simple. To address this, a new set of iterator
classes is provided, which walks the device tree in a depth
first manner. There is a general device_iterator class for
walking all devices, plus templates for a device_type_iterator
and a device_interface_iterator which are used to build
iterators for identifying only devices of a given type or
with a given interface. Typedefs for commonly-used cases
(e.g., screen_device_iterator, memory_interface_iterator)
are provided. Iterators can also provide counts, and can
perform indexed lookups.
All device name lookups are now done relative to another
device. The maching_config and running_machine classes now
have a root_device() method to get the root of the hierarchy.
The existing machine->device("name") is now equivalent to
machine->root_device().subdevice("name").
A proper and normalized device path structure is now
supported. Device names that start with a colon are
treated as absolute paths from the root device. Device
names can also use a caret (^) to refer to the owning
device. Querying the device's tag() returns the device's
full path from the root. A new method basetag() returns
just the final tag.
The new pathing system is built on top of the
device_t::subtag() method, so anyone using that will
automatically support the new pathing rules. Each device
has its own internal map to cache successful lookups so
that subsequent lookups should be very fast.
Updated every place I could find that referenced devices,
memory regions, I/O ports, memory banks and memory shares
to leverage subtag/subdevice (or siblingtag/siblingdevice
which are built on top).
Removed the device_list class, as it doesn't apply any
more. Moved some of its methods into running_machine
instead.
Simplified the device callback system since the new
pathing can describe all of the special-case devices that
were previously handled manually.
Changed the core output function callbacks to be delegates.
Completely rewrote the validity checking mechanism. The
validity checker is now a proper C++ class, and temporarily
takes over the error and warning outputs. All errors and
warnings are collected during a session, and then output in
a consistent manner, with an explicit driver and source file
listed for each one, as well as additional device and/or
I/O port contexts where appropriate. Validity checkers
should no longer explicitly output this information, just
the error, assuming that the context is provided.
Rewrote the software_list_device as a modern device, getting
rid of the software_list_config abstraction and simplifying
things.
Changed the way FLAC compiles so that it works like other
external libraries, and also compiles successfully for MSVC
builds.
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
meant adding a machine() accessor but it's worth it for consistency.
This will allow future changes from reference to pointer to happen
transparently for devices. [Aaron Giles]
Simple S&R:
m_machine( *[^ (!=;])
machine()\1
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 *)
supporting cleaner implementations of drivers in the explicitly OO world.
Expect a follow-on of several more changes to clean up from this one, which
deliberately tried to avoid touching much driver code.
Converted address_space to a class, and moved most members behind accessor
methods, apart from space->machine and space->cpu. Removed external references
to 8le/8be/16le/16be/32le/32be/64le/64be. All external access is now done via
virtual functions read_byte()/read_word()/etc. Moved differentiation between
the endianness and the bus width internal to memory.c, and also added a new
axis to support small/large address spaces, which allows for faster lookups
on spaces smaller than 18 bits.
Provided methods for most global memory operations within the new address_space
class. These will be bulk converted in a future update, but for now there are
inline wrappers to hide this change from existing callers.
Created new module delegate.h which implements C++ delegates in a form that
works for MAME. Details are in the opening comment. Delegates allow member
functions of certain classes to be used as callbacks, which will hopefully
be the beginning of the end of fetching the driver_data field in most
callbacks. All classes that host delegates must derive from bindable_object.
Today, all devices and driver_data do implicitly via their base class.
Defined delegates for read/write handlers. The new delegates are always
passed an address_space reference, along with offset, data, and mask. Delegates
can refer to methods either in the driver_data class or in a device class.
To specify a callback in an address map, just use AM_READ_MEMBER(class, member).
In fact, all existing AM_ macros that take read/write handlers can now accept
delegates in their place. Delegates that are specified in an address map are
proto-delegates which have no object; they are bound to their object when
the corresponding address_space is created.
Added machine->m_nonspecific_space which can be passed as the required
address_space parameter to the new read/write methods in legacy situations
where the space is not provided. Eventually this can go away but we will
need it for a while yet.
Added methods to the new address_space class to dynamically install delegates
just like you can dynamically install handlers today. Delegates installed this
way must be pre-bound to their object.
Moved beathead's read/write handlers into members of beathead_state as an
example of using the new delegates. This provides examples of both static (via
an address_map) and dynamic (via install_handler calls) mapping using delegates.
Added read/write member functions to okim6295_device as an example of using
delegates to call devices. Updated audio/williams.c as a single example of
calling the device via its member function callbacks. These will be bulk
updated in a future update, and the old global callbacks removed.
Changed the DIRECT_UPDATE_CALLBACKs into delegates as well. Updated all users
to the new function format. Added methods on direct_read_data for configuring the
parameters in a standard way to make the implementation clearer.
Created a simple_list template container class for managing the common
singly-linked lists we use all over in the project.
Many other internal changes in memory.c, mostly involving restructuring the code
into proper classes.
devices. Debugger now creates one for each device. C++-ified most
debugger operations to hang off the debugging class, and updated
most callers. This still needs a little cleanup, but it fixes most
issues introduced when the CPUs were moved to their own devices.
Got rid of cpu_count, cpu_first, cpu_next, etc. as they were badly
broken. Also removed cpu_is_executing, cpu_is_suspended,
cpu_get_local_time, and cpu_abort_timeslice.
Some minor name changes:
state_value() -> state()
state_set_value() -> set_state()
this object which can be called multiple times to append new devices
after the initial machine configuration is set up. Updated member
variables to match new naming convention.
Changed the running_machine to take a constructed machine_config
object in the constructor, instead of creating one itself, for
consistency. Also added machine->total_colors() as a shortcut to
machine->config->m_total_colors.
like them, but it's a start. Split implementation of individual view
types out to separate files. Updated all callers.
Also:
* fixed okim6295 memory view
* changed emualloc to free resource pools from earliest to latest
so that early objects can safely clean up stuff they allocated
