Subject: [patch] Add machine/space to some callbacks
Hi mamedev,
This patch widens some machine callbacks to include an object (either
machine or space). I didn't convert these earlier since MAME didn't
explicitly need them, but some of these will be needed by MESS now
that Machine is gone and in general all callbacks need to pass an
object.
~aa
quantum in terms of "frames" (a dubious concept now with multiple
screens and changing refresh rates). Replaced it with a new
MDRV_QUANTUM_TIME(x) which specifies the minimum scheduling quantum
as a time value. Time can be specified as HZ(x), NSEC(x), USEC(x),
etc. Updated all drivers to use this, assuming 60 was the frame
rate (this is not perfect but should work for almost all cases).
Changed MDRV_WATCHDOG_INIT_TIME(x) to automatically prepend
UINT64_ATTOTIME_IN_ to the parameter, ensuring there is no
improper use of this macro and bringing it in line with the
MDRV_QUANTUM_TIME() macro. Updated all callers.
Added new MDRV_QUANTUM_PERFECT_CPU(x) to specify that the minimum
quantum should be enough to ensure that the specified CPU tag
only ever executes a single instruction at a time. This can be
used to explicitly require "perfect" synchronization for drivers
that have multiple CPUs with shared memory. Turned this on for
the arknoid2 driver for now as a test (the interleave on that
driver was already very close to perfect anyway).

* Fixed bug that computed the wrong total size if the address

* Disabled enumeration of disk and 0-length regions
bus width and shift CPU interface constants. Changed all the cores
to use them.
Minor spacing cleanup in Z80, Z180, TMS34010, ADSP21xx cores.
Changed ADSP21xx cores to accept a configuration struct instead of
using set_info to specify serial port callbacks. Simplified the
ADSP21xx get/set info significantly. Removed support for only
including certain variants of the chips; they are now either all
supported or all unsupported.
necessary to remove 12 of the final 14 references to the global
Machine. The remaining 2 are in fatalerror() and logerror(), which
are both local to mame.c, so Machine is now fully static.

Subject: [patch] Make Machine static followup
Hi mamedev,
This incremental patch to my last patch undoes the change that caches
the ppu2c0x videorom. I changed the code back to how it behaved
originally, using an existing machine on the chip struct to eliminate
the one troublesome Machine reference.

Subject: [patch] Make Machine static!
Hi mamedev,
This large patch completes the removal of the use of Machine
throughout MAME. It does so primarily by adding machine, device or
space to various apis and modifying the callers, but for some
remaining cases it adds a new api, mame_get_running_machine(), which
will be called instead. There are only 14 uses of this api currently,
and that number should drop over time.
There are a few changes of note:
1. 6821pia.c. I attached machine to the 'device' structure. I'm
working on converting this to a proper device, but that change isn't
ready.
2. fddebug.c. I added a proper header so that the apis won't get
accidentally converted to static again.
3. scsi.c. I added a machine to SCSIInstance.
4. system16.c. I modified sys16_patch_code to take an array of
patches.
4. custom.h. I added the owning sound device to the reset/stop
routines as well as the token. Note that passing only the device
would require exposing the internals of custom_sound, as the token
passed is not the device token, but the token returned from the
CUSTOM_START routine. Better ideas here are welcome.
4. ppc2c0x.c. To avoid changing more interfaces, the init routine
saves the videorom location rather than looks it up each time.
I tried to choose what I felt was the natural parameter for an api,
rather than always pass machine, but in some cases I used machine to
limit the number of additional changes. Some additional cleanup here
is probably warranted, I'll look into that later once I'm recovered
from this two-week project.

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.
i86/i286/i386/nec/v30mz:
* renamed i86.h -> i86priv.h
* renamed i86intrf.h -> i86.h
* consolidated i88intrf.h, i186intf.h, i188intf.h, etc into i86.h
m6805:
* moved memory read/write macros out of public header

spc700:
* moved many structs/functions/macros out of public header

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.

specified when the device is added, and the clock is available in
the device_config directly via device->clock. Updated all devices
that have a clock to specify it when adding the device, rather than
as part of their configuration. As part of this work, also created
device-specific _ADD and _REMOVE macros to simplify configuration.
Dfined a generic device execute function callback, though it
is not used yet. The long term plan is that any device with an
execute callback will be scheduled along with the CPUs. Now that
CPUs are devices, their scheduling will be moved over to this
logic eventually.
Changed various NVRAM devices to fetch their default memory region
from the device->region rather than specifying it in the
configuration.
Moved a number of CPUINFO_PTR_* constants to CPUINFO_FCT_*.
Fixed several drivers that manually created their own gfx_elements
to fill in the machine object, so they no longer crash.
Fixed incorrect CPU display on info screen (recently broken).
Moved device startup to *before* the DRIVER_INIT is called. This
is to allow the DRIVER_INIT to configure devices that have been
properly allocated. So far I don't see any negative effects, but
be on the lookout if something weird shows up.
Rewrote the device iteration logic to make use of the typenext
field and the newly-introduced classnext field for iterating more
efficiently through devices of a given type or class.
Fixed behavior of MDRV_CPU_REPLACE so it does not delete and then
re-add a CPU (causing the order to change).
