* Turned `core_file` into an implementation of `random_read_write`.
* Turned PNG errors into a standard error category.
* Added a helper for generating what look like derived classes on-the-fly.
Added more modern generic I/O interfaces with implementation backed by stdio, osd_file and core_file, replacing io_generic. Also replaced core_file's build-in zlib compression with a filter.
unzip.cpp, un7z.cpp: Added option to supply abstract I/O interface rather than filename.
Converted osd_file, core_file, archive_file, chd_file and device_image_interface to use std::error_condition rather than their own error enums.
Allow mounting TI-99 RPK from inside archives.
- Remove corestr.h from emu.h; update a few source files to not use it at all
- Change strtrimspace, strtrimrightspace and core_filename_extract_* to be pure functions taking a std::string_view by value and returning the same type
- Change strmakeupper and strmakelower to be pure functions taking a std::string_view and constructing a std::string
- Remove the string-modifying version of zippath_parent
- Change tag-based lookup functions in device_t to take std::string_view instead of const std::string & or const char *
- Remove the subdevice tag cache from device_t (since device finders are now recommended) and replace it with a map covering directly owned subdevices only
- Move the working directory setup method out of device_image_interface (only the UI seems to actually use the full version of this)
- Change output_manager to use std::string_view for output name arguments
- Change core_options to accept std::string_view for most name and value arguments (return values are still C strings for now)
- Change miscellaneous other functions to accept std::string_view arguments
- Remove a few string accessor macros from romload.h
- Remove many unnecessary c_str() calls from logging/error messages
- vecstream.h: Revert changes made in aa29519528. The std::string_view conversion has been made a non-member function (util::buf_to_string_view) and moved to coretmpl.h.
- strformat.h: Remove the using declaration importing util::string_format into the global namespace. It has been moved to emucore.h and a few tool sources; other references have been qualified.
- osdcore.h: Split out file, directory and path classes and methods to a new header (osdfile.h), Doxygenizing the documentation comments.
- Disaggregate many #includes that were including other standard or custom headers. emu.h now includes basically the same things that it did, but other headers have been streamlined; for instance, emucore.h no longer stealth-includes osdcore.h several ways.
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
* Allow std::string to pass through core_file unmolested (reduces temporary allocations)
* Make zip/7z instances of same class with uniform interface
* zippath browsing is broken at the moment
This is another step towards transparent archive support. It's now
possible to access zip and 7z archives with the same code. Nothing is
taking advantage of it yet. There's now some very similar code in
fileio.cpp and clifront.cpp that could be folded at some point.
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
Update MAME to use new function
Instantiate ODR-used static constant members
Make some of the UI code more localisable
Remove use of retired functions in tools
