driver_device classes have an m_ prefix on them. When we
eventually move functions using these into member functions,
we will be able to remove the state-> pointers, and having
the member variables prefixed will allow them to be
distinguished from local variables.
Some regex'es used (plus manually fixing the remaining stuff):
In src/mame/...
state->([a-zA-Z_][^_][a-zA-Z0-9_]*)
state->m_\1
state->([^m]_[a-zA-Z0-9_]*)
state->m_\1
state->m_save_item
state->save_item
state->m_save_pointer
state->save_pointer
(AM_BASE_MEMBER *\( *[a-zA-Z0-9_]+ *, *)([a-zA-Z_][^_])
\1m_\2
(AM_BASE_SIZE_MEMBER *\( *[a-zA-Z0-9_]+ *, *)([a-zA-Z_][^_][a-zA-Z0-9_]* *, *)([a-zA-Z_][^_])
\1m_\2m_\3
(AM_SIZE_MEMBER *\( *[a-zA-Z0-9_]+ *, *)([a-zA-Z_][^_])
\1m_\2
m__
m_
In src/mame/includes/...
(\t[a-zA-Z0-9_<>]+[ \t]+[&*]*[ \t]*)([a-zA-Z_][^_][][a-zA-Z0-9_]*;)$
\1m_\2
(\t[a-zA-Z0-9_<>]+[ \t]*[&*]*[ \t]+)([a-zA-Z_][^_][][a-zA-Z0-9_]*;)$

Comment:
This is a simple replace of:
ADDRESS_MAP_UNMAP_HIGH
to
AM_RANGE(0x0000, 0xffff) AM_NOP (or ffffff for 16-bit cpus)
Until the pinball drivers begin to be worked on and considering how slowly most of these drivers run while essentially doing nothing but displaying a picture, this change greatly increases the performance allowing for quicker regression checks.
Use a named memory area instead of either generic spriteram or
a state-specific spriteram to allow sei_crtc.c to find the
spriteram for games that use it.
Added new macro MACHINE_CONFIG_DERIVED_CLASS() which works just like
MACHINE_CONFIG_DERIVED() except you can specify an alternate driver_device
class. Used this in the 8080bw.c games which require an _8080bw_state, but
derive from mw8080bw_root which has the base class mw8080bw_state.
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 private member variables with accessors:
machine->m_respool ==> machine->respool()
machine->config ==> machine->config()
machine->gamedrv ==> machine->system()
machine->m_regionlist ==> machine->first_region()
machine->sample_rate ==> machine->sample_rate()
Also converted internal lists to use simple_list.
As I wrote to the list a couple of months ago, there are many console protos which have been compiled from sources and have been released with odd sizes. This allows to load them in MESS from softlist (they are not bad dumps, strictly speaking, given they have never been burned on a cart...)
I hope there are no objections (a clear message is still written to the console, but the loading proceeds instead of stopping)
space by index. Update functions and methods that accepted an
address space index to take an address_spacenum instead. Note that
this means you can't use a raw integer in ADDRESS_SPACE macros, so
instead of 0 use the enumerated AS_0.
Standardized the project on the shortened constants AS_* over the
older ADDRESS_SPACE_*. Removed the latter to prevent confusion.
Also centralized the location of these definitions to memory.h.
