- Created new central header "emu.h"; this should be included
by pretty much any driver or device as the first include. This
file in turn includes pretty much everything a driver or device
will need, minus any other devices it references. Note that
emu.h should *never* be included by another header file.
- Updated all files in the core (src/emu) to use emu.h.
- Removed a ton of redundant and poorly-tracked header includes
from within other header files.
- Temporarily changed driver.h to map to emu.h until we update
files outside of the core.
Added class wrapper around tagmap so it can be directly included
and accessed within objects that need it. Updated all users to
embed tagmap objects and changed them to call through the class.
Added nicer functions for finding devices, ports, and regions in
a machine:
machine->device("tag") -- return the named device, or NULL
machine->port("tag") -- return the named port, or NULL
machine->region("tag"[, &length[, &flags]]) -- return the
named region and optionally its length and flags
Made the device tag an astring. This required touching a lot of
code that printed the device to explicitly fetch the C-string
from it. (Thank you gcc for flagging that issue!)
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.

Subject: [patch] additional sound core deprecat.h removal
Hi mamedev,
This patch removes most of the remaining deprecat.h includes in the
sound cores. deprecat.h -= 8.

Subject: [patch] final sound core deprecat.h cleanup
Hi mamedev,
This patch removes the last three deprecat.h includes from the sound
cores.
~aa
The idea is to create extra work if a driver wants to use these and hopefully
gives an incentive to look for an alternate solution
- Added #include of deprecat.h that rely on these contructs
- Removed a bunch of unneccassary #include's from these files
Subject: [patch] Fix C4305 warnings, other MSVC tweaks
Hi mamedev,
This patch is a bit of a potpourri. It is the result of enabling most
of the suppressed warnings when using MSVC compilers and seeing what
issues arose with different compilers (I used 70,71,80,90). Two of
the warnings were judged to be useful to enable and methodically fix.
Some issues spotted by the other warnings were also fixed.
1. Fixed issues flagged by MSVC warning C4305 (type truncation).
Almost all of these are harmless double->float narrowing in
initializers, but one warning spotlighted a bug in segasyse.c, where
code to use a higher sprite number had no effect due to the
insufficient range of UINT8.
2. Removed /wd4550 for VS7/VS71 compilers (expression evaluates to a
function which is missing an argument list). There are no cases of
this warning currently, and if there were they would most certainly be
bugs. This also allowed the warning suppression lists to be remerged
for VS7 and VS2005.
3. Decoupled intrinsic support decisions from PTR64 in eivc.h.
4. Fixed some VS7-specific issues (OPTIMIZE=0 at least compiles now).
That compiler doesn't support "long long" or "ll" (rsp.c/dkong.c).
5. Added a missing case statement in sm8500d.c. Noticed while
reviewing dead code warnings.
6. Replaced a number of static constants with an enum in sidenvel.h.
This is unrelated to the rest of this patch, but it was overdue to be
done.
- removed years from copyright notices
- removed redundant (c) from copyright notices
- updated "the MAME Team" to be "Nicola Salmoria and the MAME Team"
This small patch makes some minor "code quality" improvements to MAME.
First off, some remaing static/const qualifier missed cases were
addressed. Secondly, a few cases of missing #include "foo.h" were
added. Thirdly, a few global names were modified to make them less
generic/more consistent (voodoo.c, vrender0.c, lethal.c, rungun.c,
zac2650.c). Fourthly, some dead/useless code was removed
(i8051.c,model1.c,romcmp.c).
