Added a validity check to ensure address space names are tag-like and unique, since they're now used as identifiers in debugger commands.
Extended the syntax for target addresses to allow them to be qualified with a colon followed by an optional device tag and/or address space name. If only the device needs to be specified, a debugger CPU number may also be used. This makes commands like bpset and wpset more flexible, as they can operate on CPUs other than the currently visible CPU. Commands like find, fill, dump and load are more flexible as they can access any space of any device.
Removed now-redundant CPU parameters from many commands, and renamed pcatmemp to pcatmem for consistency with other commands. Extended region syntax for saver/loadr to support tags relative to the visible CPU (e.g. you can use "." for the region with the same name as the visible CPU, or "^sibling" syntax). Added an optional root device parameter to memdump. Changed interpretation of Boolean values to support numeric expressions as well as true/false strings and literal 1/0.
Added checks that the specified device is CPU-like to various commands that require a CPU (e.g. focus). Previously these commands would crash or trigger an assertion failure if a tag for a non-CPU devices was specified.
Fixed the cpunum symbol so it uses the same rules for determining what is or isn't a CPU as parameter parsing.
Made device_t sanitise subtags better. Previously you could cause an assertion failure or crash MAME by giving it unexpected relative tags via Lua or the debugger.
Added help topic alias support, and reworked the data structures to improve the performance of looking up debugger commands and help topics. Removed the "ref" parameter from debugger command functions (std::bind can hold extra argument values for you if you need them). Also added an error message if duplicate debugger commands are registered.
Updated help for commands that changed syntax, and also updated summaries for some commands that had changed in the past without corresponding help updates.
* Made it an error to specify address map and explicit ROM region.
* Made it an error if explicitly specified ROM region is not found.
* Made the ROM region tag apply relative to the current device.
-Cleaned up formatting for a couple more documentation pages.
At least on my build, MAME thinks maps are being configured for nonexistent AS_DATA spaces when they clearly aren't. This may be due to some subtle bug with device delegates.
This reverts commit aa0d17757d9e5857bb99887841133045cc530655.
Associated core changes (nw)
- Move definition of address_space_config from dimemory.cpp to emumem.cpp (declaration was already in emumem.h)
- Add getters for more members of address_space_config with future privatization in mind (nw)
- memory_translate now returns an address space number rather a boolean flag, permitting addresses in part of one space to map to an entirely different space. This is primarily intended to help MCUs which have blocks of internal memory that can be dynamically remapped, but may also allow for more accurate emulation of MMUs that drive multiple external address spaces, since the old limit of four address spaces per MAME device has been lifted.
- memory_translate has also been made a const method, in spite of a couple of badly behaved CPU cores that can't honestly treat it as one.
- The (read|write)_(byte|word|dword|qword|memory|opcode) accessors have been transferred from debugger_cpu to device_memory_interface, with somewhat modified arguments corresponding to the translate function it calls through to if requested.
* New abbreviated types are in osd and util namespaces, and also in global namespace for things that #include "emu.h"
* Get rid of import of cstdint types to global namespace (C99 does this anyway)
* Remove the cstdint types from everything in emu
* Get rid of U64/S64 macros
* Fix a bug in dps16 caused by incorrect use of macro
* Fix debugcon not checking for "do " prefix case-insensitively
* Fix a lot of messed up tabulation
* More constexpr
* Fix up many __names
Use standard uint64_t, uint32_t, uint16_t or uint8_t instead of UINT64, UINT32, UINT16 or UINT8
also use standard int64_t, int32_t, int16_t or int8_t instead of INT64, INT32, INT16 or INT8
- Always print the name of each driver checked with -validate -verbose, and print before beginning the check to help detect crashes
- Fix already_checked test so that softlists get validated the first time, not every time but the first
- Remove #include "validity.h" where not required (nw)
- attotime::from_double cannot be constexpr because it uses floor (nw)
C++11 range-based for loops can now iterate over simple_list, tagged_list, core_options, device_t::subdevice_list, device_t::interface_list, render_primitive_list and all subclasses of the above, and much code has been refactored to use them. Most core classes that have these lists as members now have methods that return the lists themselves, replacing most of the methods that returned the object at an owned list's head. (A few have been retained due to their use in drivers or OSD.)
device_t now manages subdevice and interface lists through subclasses, but has given up the work of adding and removing subdevices to machine_config.
memory_manager has its tagged lists exposed, though the old rooted tag lookup methods have been removed (they were privatized already).
