* Changed emu_fatalerror to use util::string_format semantics
* Fixed some incorrectly marked up stuff in build scripts
* Make internal layout compression type a scoped enum (only zlib is supported still, but at least the values aren't magic numbers now)
* Fixed memory leaks in Xbox USB
* There can only be one "perfect quantum" device - enforce that only the root machine can set it, as allowing subdevices to will cause weird issues with slot cards overiding it
* Allow multiple devices to set maximum quantum and use the most restrictive one (it's maximum quantum, it would be minimum interleave)
* Got rid of device_slot_card_interface as it wasn't providing value
* Added a helper template to reduce certain kinds of boilerplate in slots/buses
* Cleaned up some particularly bad slot code (plenty more of that to do), and made some slots more idiomatic
* Re-write makedep.py for better performance and better parsing front-end
* Make srcclean deal with kinds of preprocessor abuse I never want to see in real life
(nw) The new parser front-end is better at recognising C++ syntax and
also substantially faster - bootstrapping a single-driver build should
be noticeably quicker. Having a single parser for C++, .lst and .flt
files also gets us a bit closer to making it simpler to create custom
subtargets.
* subhuntr.cpp: S2636 PVI was seemingly uncommented by mistake in 93308b483e - offsets and sound routing seem to be copy/pasted from somewhere
* phi: prettier config
* scramble.cpp, wallc.cpp: avoid some calls to subdevice<...>(...)
* makedep.py: open source files as UTF-8 (GitHub #5482)
* minimaws: be less trusting
This will compile, link, and run a driver all the way to the first info screen, provided you use -video bgfx.
However, although there's a valid NSWindow created, it never actually appears on screen for unknown (but likely silly) reasons.
Inputs are not implemented and fullscreen exists but is untried.
* There is no longer a concept of "layers" - there are only screens and elements.
* Elements are now instantiated with <element ref="...">
* Screens and elements can have explicit blending mode specified with blend="..."
* Default blending mode for screens is "add" and default for other elements is "alpha"
* Other supported modes are "none" and "multiply"
* This removes the options to enable/disable layers individually - use views instead
* Legacy layouts can still be loaded, and support won't be removed for at least a year
The current artwork model is over-stretched. It's based on a Space
Invaders cabinet model, and isn't applicable to a lot of the systems
MAME emulates now. The fact that MAME has to switch to an "alternate"
mode to deal with games like Golly! Ghost! without requiring pre-matted
bitmaps shows that the Space Invaders model wasn't even adequate for
general arcade use. It shows in that for a lot of the systems that
heavily depend on artwork, people just seem to randomly choose layers
for elements until they get something that works. Also, the fact that
MAME will switch to an alternate (Golly! Ghost!) mode depending on the
combination of elements is a trap for people learning to make artwork.
There are cases that the current approach of implying the blending mode
from the layer doesn't work with. Examples include LEDs behind
diffusers (requires additive blending for layout elements), and mutliple
stacked LCD panels (requires RGB multiplication for screens).
For configurability, it's now a lot easier to make multiple views using
groups. For example, if you want to make it possible to hide the
control panel section of your layout, you can put the control panel
elements in a group and create views with and without it.
I will gradually migrate the internal artwork to use the new approach.
I have an XSLT stylesheet that helps with this, but I'm not comfortable
adding it because it isn't a complete solution and it still requires
manul steps.
I wanted to get the re-worked pointer handling done sooner so I could
push them both at the same time, but unfortunately various things have
prevented me from progressing as quickly as I wanted to. Sorry guys,
that stuff's going to have to wait.
This effectively reverts b380514764 and
c24473ddff, restoring the state at

Before pushing, please check that what you're about to push is sane.
Check your local commit log and ensure there isn't anything out-of-place
before pushing to mainline. When things like this happen, it wastes
everyone's time. I really don't need this in a week when real work™ is
busting my balls and I'm behind where I want to be with preparing for
MAME release.
* Allow <orientation> and <color> to work on group references
* Fix some corner cases where group bounds could be miscalculated
* Fix a corner case where MAME could incorrectly refuse to instantiate groups
* Add more checks to complay.py
* Document more of the layout format
* Clean up some corner cases in layouts with repeating blocks
* Make complay.py validate many more elements and attributes
* Make complay.py easier to use for just validating a layout
* Remove redundant view from Sega VMU layout
* Make buttons visually respond to input in whousetc.lay
* Add view with LED displays as well as terminal for aim65_40 and use repeats
* Clean up some outdated "game" terminology in clifront.cpp
* Initiaise a couple of members in tap/tun network module
* Start documenting layout format
Input and screen tags are now resolved relative to a layout's owner
device.
Easy way to demonstrate is with: mame64 intlc440 -tty ie15
Previously you'd only get the IE15 terminal's layout and you'd be unable
to use the INTELLEC 4/40 front panel. Now you'll get the choice of
layouts from both the system and the terminal device in video options.
* Fixed building using system utf8proc
* Fixed building using system portaudio
* Allow using system-wide asio headers (1.11.0 or higher required).
* Allow using system-wide glm headers
* Allow using system-wide rapidjson headers
* Put all ext_includedir calls together
* Fixed build failure when SOURCES is defined
appropriate containers, remove misleading const qualifiers, reduce
repeated XML walking.
(nw) Groups aren't parameterised, so they aren't as useful as they could
be (yes, it's on my TODO list). However, it's already useful for
putting a common set of elements in multiple views, potentially at
different locations/scales. See intlc44.lay and intlc440.lay for
examples of the level of copypasta this can eliminate. Be aware that
groups with explicit bounds don't clip thair content, it's only used for
calucating the transform matrix.
* Use size_t for sizes and <algorithm> for algorithms
* Fix up some files that were getting linked into multiple libs
* Add missing virtual method to sh2 peripheral class
* Put shortname in driver struct for locality
* Use shared pointers in config LRU cache for safety
selmenu: use LRU cache so icons don't all need to be reloaded on scroll
uismall.bdf: set default character for missing glyphs
rendfont.cpp:
* encapsulate many BDF and BDC handling details
* make file I/O 64-bit clean, check for allocation errors
* more solid BDF parser with error messages and trace logging
* fix heap smash when building bitmaps for BDF fonts
* extend BDC format to support high planes and default character
* render default character if glyph not found for BDF/BDC
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
