- Remove the loaded_through_softlist virtual method and add a boolean getter with the same name, replacing a few variables that provided similar but redundant flags.
- Remove call_softlist_load, which the previous change reduces to a simple, unnecessary wrapper.
This new softlist feature is now used by genesis_tmss to exclude several entries from megadriv.xml.
- Use popmessage instead of osd_printf_warning for incompatibility warnings
- Unify some common software loading code, which reduces indentation levels in clifront.cpp
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.
(not user selectable) piece of software and updated a few options
and menu to acknowledge such possibility. [Fabio Priuli]
macs.cpp: Converted to use generic cartslot with fixed software
configuration. Cleaned up loading and banking systems in the driver
as a result. [Fabio Priuli]
C++11 range-based for loops can now iterate over simple_list, tagged_list, core_options, device_t::subdevice_list, device_t::interface_list, render_primitive_list and all subclasses of the above, and much code has been refactored to use them. Most core classes that have these lists as members now have methods that return the lists themselves, replacing most of the methods that returned the object at an owned list's head. (A few have been retained due to their use in drivers or OSD.)
device_t now manages subdevice and interface lists through subclasses, but has given up the work of adding and removing subdevices to machine_config.
memory_manager has its tagged lists exposed, though the old rooted tag lookup methods have been removed (they were privatized already).
* 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
- 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
