- Separate watchdog implementation from running_machine (once again) and driver_device
- Old-style methods, now hidden behind #ifdefs, will probably be safe to remove soon
- Boolean parameter to running_machine::run is no longer firstrun (which is now a member variable of mame_machine_manager) but quiet, which disables logging and audio recording without explicitly checking the system name.
- Sound recording is now turned on and off by explicit calls. The potential uses of this have not been explored.
- Dependencies reduced on drivenum.h, where the declaration for GAME_NAME(___empty) has been moved to.
Replace the old device_iterator and its specialized versions with functionally equivalent classes that use standard operators to yield references to devices/interfaces rather than pointers. With range-based for loops, they no longer have to be stored in named variables, though they can also be reused concurrently since the iteration state is now maintained by a subclass.
Add a few more typical getters to device_t::subdevice_list.
* 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
* Make stream_format return characters printed
* Add iostreams with std::vector storage
* Move to type-safe templates for logerror and popmessage
* Remove now-unnecessary I64FMT from calls to logerror/popmessage
* Put some lib/util stuff in util:: namespace
* Some fixes to Japanese translation
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
- strprintf is unaltered, but strformat now takes one fewer argument
- state_string_export still fills a buffer, but has been made const
- get_default_card_software now takes no arguments but returns a string
