The goals with this change is to make get_default_card_software() a bit more standalone by making it a const method that does not mutate the state of the device_image_interface. This is done by passing in a small structure that encapsulates the minimum of information that get_default_card_software() needs.
This also eliminates the need for device_image_interface::open_image_file()
I agree with Sarayan that get_default_card_software() is terrible and needs to ultimately go away. This is a small step in that direction.
Lastly, I don't care for the name of get_default_card_software_hook (or get_default_card_software() for that matter). If anybody has better ideas, let me know.
Per Vas' request. If the compile fails for you (i'm thinking osx and
windows native debuggers here in particular), add '#include "emu.h"'
as first include of the cpp files that fail.
Due to our use of precompilation and forced inclusion, emu.h must be
included as the very first non-comment thing we do if we want to be
sure msvc compiles are identical to gcc/clang ones. Doing it directly
instead of through an include increases the correctness probability by
a magnitude.
Make avi_file a class that's held with smart pointers, encapsulate various AVI I/O structures
Make zip_file and _7z_file classes rather than having free functions everywhere
Hide zip/7z class implementation behind an interface, no longer need to call close() to send back to the cache
Don't dump as much crap in global namespace
Add solaris PTY implementation
Improve variable expansion for SDL OSD - supports ~/$FOO/${BAR} syntax
Rearrange stuff so the same things are in file module for all OSDs
Move file stuff into its own module
7z/zip open and destruct are still not thread-safe due to lack of interlocks around cache access
Directory functions still need to be moved to file module
SDL OSD may not initialise WinSock on Windows
