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
-[no]exit_after_playback (default=no)
-[no]record_input (default=no)
Added new UI shortcut to save current timecode (default F12)
Translated variable names and comments to english language
- 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
this is a dummy implementation of -aviwrite/-mngwrite and is used in
testruns to detect e.g. palette issues. the dummy implementation greatly
speed up testrun since it avoids the snapshot to file format conversions
as well as the I/O operations

* these classes now no longer take a resource_pool; everything is
managed globally -- this means that objects added to lists must be
allocated with global_alloc
* added new auto_pointer<> template which wraps a pointer and auto-frees
it upon destruction; it also defaults to NULL so it doesn't need to
be explicitly initialized
* moved tagged_list template to tagmap.h
Redo of the low-level memory tracking system: [Aaron Giles]
* moved low-level tracking out of emu\emualloc into lib\util\corealloc
so it can be shared among all components and used by core libraries
* global_alloc and friends no longer use a resource pool to track
allocations; turns out this was a wholly redundant system that wasted
a lot of memory
* removed global_resource_pool entirely
* added global_free_array to delete arrays allocated with
global_alloc_array
* added tracking of object versus array allocation; we will now error
if you use global_free on an array, or global_free_array on an object
Added new utility helper const_string_pool which can be used to
efficiently accumulate strings that are not intended to be modified.
Used by updated makelist and software list code. [Aaron Giles]
Updated png2bdc and makelist tools to not leak memory and use more modern
techniques (no more MAX_DRIVERS in makelist, for example). [Aaron Giles]
Deprecated auto_strdup and removed all uses by way of caller-managed
astrings and the software list rewrite. [Aaron Giles]
Rewrote software list management: [Aaron Giles]
* removed the notion of a software_list that is separate from a
software_list_device; they are one and the same now
* moved several functions into device_image_interface since they really
didn't belong in the core software list class
* lots of simplification as a result of the above changes
Additional notes (no whatsnew):
Moved definition of FPTR to osdcomm.h.
Some changes happened in the OSD code to fix issues, especially regarding
freeing arrays. SDL folks may need to fix up some of these.

and paths consistently for devices, I/O ports, memory
regions, memory banks, and memory shares. [Aaron Giles]
NOTE: there are likely regressions lurking here, mostly
due to devices not being properly found. I have temporarily
added more logging to -verbose to help understand what's
going on. Please let me know ASAP if anything that is being
actively worked on got broken.
As before, the driver device is the root device and all
other devices are owned by it. Previously all devices
were kept in a single master list, and the hierarchy was
purely logical. With this change, each device owns its
own list of subdevices, and the hierarchy is explicitly
manifest. This means when a device is removed, all of its
subdevices are automatically removed as well.
A side effect of this is that walking the device list is
no longer simple. To address this, a new set of iterator
classes is provided, which walks the device tree in a depth
first manner. There is a general device_iterator class for
walking all devices, plus templates for a device_type_iterator
and a device_interface_iterator which are used to build
iterators for identifying only devices of a given type or
with a given interface. Typedefs for commonly-used cases
(e.g., screen_device_iterator, memory_interface_iterator)
are provided. Iterators can also provide counts, and can
perform indexed lookups.
All device name lookups are now done relative to another
device. The maching_config and running_machine classes now
have a root_device() method to get the root of the hierarchy.
The existing machine->device("name") is now equivalent to
machine->root_device().subdevice("name").
A proper and normalized device path structure is now
supported. Device names that start with a colon are
treated as absolute paths from the root device. Device
names can also use a caret (^) to refer to the owning
device. Querying the device's tag() returns the device's
full path from the root. A new method basetag() returns
just the final tag.
The new pathing system is built on top of the
device_t::subtag() method, so anyone using that will
automatically support the new pathing rules. Each device
has its own internal map to cache successful lookups so
that subsequent lookups should be very fast.
Updated every place I could find that referenced devices,
memory regions, I/O ports, memory banks and memory shares
to leverage subtag/subdevice (or siblingtag/siblingdevice
which are built on top).
Removed the device_list class, as it doesn't apply any
more. Moved some of its methods into running_machine
instead.
Simplified the device callback system since the new
pathing can describe all of the special-case devices that
were previously handled manually.
Changed the core output function callbacks to be delegates.
Completely rewrote the validity checking mechanism. The
validity checker is now a proper C++ class, and temporarily
takes over the error and warning outputs. All errors and
warnings are collected during a session, and then output in
a consistent manner, with an explicit driver and source file
listed for each one, as well as additional device and/or
I/O port contexts where appropriate. Validity checkers
should no longer explicitly output this information, just
the error, assuming that the context is provided.
Rewrote the software_list_device as a modern device, getting
rid of the software_list_config abstraction and simplifying
things.
Changed the way FLAC compiles so that it works like other
external libraries, and also compiles successfully for MSVC
builds.
almost certainly some regressions lurking. Let me know if
something seems busted.
Bitmaps are now strongly typed based on format. bitmap_t still
exists as an abstract base class, but it is almost never used.
Instead, format-specific bitmap classes are provided:
bitmap_ind8 == 8bpp indexed
bitmap_ind16 == 16bpp indexed
bitmap_ind32 == 32bpp indexed
bitmap_ind64 == 64bpp indexed
bitmap_rgb32 == 32bpp RGB
bitmap_argb32 == 32bpp ARGB
bitmap_yuy16 == 16bpp YUY
For each format, a generic pix() method is provided which
references pixels of the correct type. The old pix8/pix16/pix32/
pix64 methods still exist in the short term, but the only one
available is the one that matches the bitmap's pixel size. Note
also that the old RGB15 format bitmaps are no longer supported
at all.
Converted model1, megadriv, and stv drivers away from the RGB15
format bitmaps.
New auto_bitmap_<type>_alloc() macros are provided for allocating
the appropriate type of bitmap.
Screen update functions now must specify the correct bitmap type
as their input parameters. For static update functions the
SCREEN_UPDATE macro is now replaced with SCREEN_UPDATE_RGB32 and
SCREEN_UPDATE_IND16 macros. All existing drivers have been
updated to use the correct macros.
Screen update functions are now required for all screens; there
is no longer any default behavior of copying a "default" bitmap
to the screen (in fact the default bitmap has been deprecated).
Use one of the following to specify your screen_update callback:
MCFG_SCREEN_UPDATE_STATIC(name) - static functions
MCFG_SCREEN_UPDATE_DRIVER(class, func) - driver members
MCFG_SCREEN_UPDATE_DEVICE(tag, class, func) - device members
Because the target bitmap format can now be deduced from the
screen update function itself, the MCFG_SCREEN_FORMAT macro is
no longer necessary, and has been removed. If you specify a
screen update callback that takes a bitmap_ind16, then the screen
will be configured to use a 16bpp indexed bitmap, and if you
specify a callback that takes a bitmap_rgb32, then a 32bpp RGB
bitmap will be provided.
Extended the bitmap classes to support wrapping a subregion of
another bitmap, and cleaner allocation/resetting. The preferred
use of bitmaps now is to define them directly in drivers/devices
and use allocate() or wrap() to set them up, rather than
allocating them via auto_bitmap_*_alloc().
Several common devices needed overhauls or changes as a result
of the above changes:
* Reorganized the laserdisc base driver and all the laserdisc
drivers as modern C++ devices, cleaning the code up
considerably. Merged ldsound device into the laserdsc
device since modern devices are flexible enough to handle
it.
* Reorganized the v9938 device as a modern C++ device. Removed
v9938mod.c in favor of template functions in v9938.c directly.
* Added independent ind16 and rgb32 callbacks for TMS340x0 devices.
* All video devices are now hard-coded to either ind16 or rgb32
bitmaps. The most notable is the mc6845 which is rgb32, and
required changes to a number of consumers.
* Added screen_update methods to most video devices so they can be
directly called via MCFG_SCREEN_UPDATE_DEVICE instead of creating
tons of stub functions.
and SCREEN_UPDATE(generic_bitmapped). In their place, each screen_device
now maintains a default bitmap which is automatically copied to the
screen on each update if no SCREEN_UPDATE function is provided and if
no driver_device::video_update override is present. This bitmap can be
found by querying the screen's new default_bitmap() method. [Aaron Giles]
parameters for the global SCREEN_UPDATE callback match the parameters
for the driver_device version. Added allocate() and deallocate()
methods to bitmap_t to permit cleaner handling of bitmaps in drivers
and modern devices. [Aaron Giles]
- non-device timer callbacks
- machine state changing callbacks
- configuration callbacks
- per-screen VBLANK callbacks
- DRC backend callbacks
For the timer case only, I added wrappers for the old-style functions.
Over time, drivers should switch to device timers instead, reducing the
number of timers that are directly allocated through the scheduler.
meant adding a machine() accessor but it's worth it for consistency.
This will allow future changes from reference to pointer to happen
transparently for devices. [Aaron Giles]
Simple S&R:
m_machine( *[^ (!=;])
machine()\1
Remove redundant machine items from address_space and device_t.
Neither machine nor m_machine are directly accessible anymore.
Instead a new getter machine() is available which returns a
machine reference. So:
space->machine->xxx ==> space->machine().xxx
device->machine->yyy ==> device->machine().yyy
Globally changed all running_machine pointers to running_machine
references. Any function/method that takes a running_machine takes
it as a required parameter (1 or 2 exceptions). Being consistent
here gets rid of a lot of odd &machine or *machine, but it does
mean a very large bulk change across the project.
Structs which have a running_machine * now have that variable
renamed to m_machine, and now have a shiny new machine() method
that works like the space and device methods above. Since most of
these are things that should eventually be devices anyway, consider
this a step in that direction.
98% of the update was done with regex searches. The changes are
architected such that the compiler will catch the remaining
errors:
// find things that use an embedded machine directly and replace
// with a machine() getter call
S: ->machine->
R: ->machine\(\)\.
// do the same if via a reference
S: \.machine->
R: \.machine\(\)\.
// convert function parameters to running_machine &
S: running_machine \*machine([^;])
R: running_machine \&machine\1
// replace machine-> with machine.
S: machine->
R: machine\.
// replace &machine() with machine()
S: \&([()->a-z0-9_]+machine\(\))
R: \1
// sanity check: look for this used as a cast
(running_machine &)
// and change to this:
*(running_machine *)
to pass a core_options object to the constructor, along with
a search path. This required pushing either a running_machine
or a core_options through some code that wasn't previously
ready to handle it. emu_files can be reused over multiple
open/close sessions, and a lot of core code cleaned up
nicely as things were converted to them.
Also created a file_enumerator class for iterating over files
in a searchpath. This replaces the old mame_openpath functions.
Changed machine->options() to return a reference.
Removed public nvram_open() and fixed jchan/kaneko16 to
stop directly saving NVRAM.
Removed most of the mame_options() calls; this will soon go
away entirely, so don't add any more.
Added core_options to device_validity_check() so they can be
used to validate things.

manual synchronization of VBLANK start against an external timing source.
Updated the MC6845 device to call reset_origin() on its screen at the
start of each frame if a screen is present.
The practical upshot is that now the screen timing and MC6845 timing is
once against synchronized, but by tying the screen timing to the MC6845
and not the other way around.
Moved -effect implementation out of OSD code and into core since
the implementations were identical across Windows/SDL and implemented
in the core itself.
type safety. If legacy devices still use inline data, those types are not checked.
However, new devices no longer have access to the generic m_inline_data. Instead
their MDRV_* macros should map to calls to static functions in the device config
class which downcast a generic device_config to the specific device config, and
then set the appropriate values. This is not to be done inline in order to prevent
further code bloat in the constructors. See eeprom/7474/i2cmem/okim6295 for examples.
#ifdef'ed several unused machine driver definitions that weren't referenced.
