This update changes the way we handle memory allocation. Rather
than allocating in terms of bytes, allocations are now done in
terms of objects. This is done via new set of macros that replace
the malloc_or_die() macro:
alloc_or_die(t) - allocate memory for an object of type 't'
alloc_array_or_die(t,c) - allocate memory for an array of 'c' objects of type 't'
alloc_clear_or_die(t) - same as alloc_or_die but memset's the memory to 0
alloc_array_clear_or_die(t,c) - same as alloc_array_or_die but memset's the memory to 0
All original callers of malloc_or_die have been updated to call these
new macros. If you just need an array of bytes, you can use
alloc_array_or_die(UINT8, numbytes).
Made a similar change to the auto_* allocation macros. In addition,
added 'machine' as a required parameter to the auto-allocation macros,
as the resource pools will eventually be owned by the machine object.
The new macros are:
auto_alloc(m,t) - allocate memory for an object of type 't'
auto_alloc_array(m,t,c) - allocate memory for an array of 'c' objects of type 't'
auto_alloc_clear(m,t) - allocate and memset
auto_alloc_array_clear(m,t,c) - allocate and memset
All original calls or auto_malloc have been updated to use the new
macros. In addition, auto_realloc(), auto_strdup(), auto_astring_alloc(),
and auto_bitmap_alloc() have been updated to take a machine parameter.
Changed validity check allocations to not rely on auto_alloc* anymore
because they are not done in the context of a machine.
One final change that is included is the removal of SMH_BANKn macros.
Just use SMH_BANK(n) instead, which is what the previous macros mapped
to anyhow.
compilation:
- new option CPP_COMPILE to trigger this (off by default)
- split CFLAGS into common, C-only, and C++-only flags
- when enabled, CPP_COMPILE causes 'pp' to be appended to
the target name
NOTE THAT THE SYSTEM CANNOT ACTUALLY BE COMPILED THIS WAY
YET. IT IS JUST AN EXPERIMENT.
Modified lib.mak to always build zlib/expat as C regardless
of CPP_COMPILE.
Modified windows.mak to fix warnings with MAXOPT=1, and to
leverage the new CFLAGs definitions.
Modified vconv.c to do appropriate conversions for new C++
options.
Updated sources so that libutil, libocore (Windows), and
libosd (Windows) can be cleanly compiled as C or C++. This
was mostly adding some casts against void *.
Fixed a few more general obvious problems at random
locations in the source:
- device->class is now device->devclass
- TYPES_COMPATIBLE uses typeid() when compiled for C++
- some functions with reserved names ('xor' in particular)
were renamed
- nested enums and structs were pulled out into separate
definitions (under C++ these would need to be scoped to
be referenced)
- TOKEN_VALUE cannot use .field=x initialization in C++ :(
- removed unnecessary deprecat.h includes
- replaces Machine with existing running_machine* instances
- re-adds a peroid I accidentally removed when changed a message to
use defines
- adds a running_machine* to win_window_info and debugwin_info to get
rid of most Machine occurances and clean up the running_machine*
parameters I added in the past
[Oliver Stoeneberg]
on a command-line parameter and the configuration. Changed Windows OSD
code to use this instead of its own logic. Changed -snapview to share the
logic as well, enabling 'auto' as a -snapview option.
- removed years from copyright notices
- removed redundant (c) from copyright notices
- updated "the MAME Team" to be "Nicola Salmoria and the MAME Team"
