* Get rid of implicit prefix for GFX decode names and prefix them all
* Get rid of special macro for adding GFXDECODE in favour of constructor
* Make empty GFX decode a static member of interface
* Allow palette to be specified to GFXDECODE as a device finder
* Removed diserial.h from emu.h as it's used relatively infrequently
Also fix darkseal and vaportra propely. The palette device
automatically attaches itself to a share with matching tag. The correct
solution here is to rename one or the other out of the way, since it was
never attached to a share before.
Start replacing special device macros with additional constructors,
starting with ISA, INTELLEC 4 and RS-232 buses.
Allow an object finder to take on the target of another object finder.
(For a combination of the previous two things in action, see either the
INTELLEC 4 driver, or the Apple 2 PC Exporter card. Also check out
looping over a device finder array to instantiate devices in some
places. Lots of things no longer need to pass tags around.)
Start supplying default clocks for things that have a standard clock or
have all clocks internal.
Eliminate the separate DEV versions of the DEVCB_ macros. Previously,
the plain versions were a shortcut for DEVICE_SELF as the target. You
can now supply a string tag (relative to current device being
configured), an object finder (takes on the base and relative tag), or
a reference to a device/interface (only do this if you know the device
won't be replaced out from under it, but that's a safe assumption for
your subdevices). In almost all cases, you can get the effect you want
by supplying *this as the target.
Eliminate sound and CPU versions of macros. They serve no useful
purpose, provide no extra checks, make error messages longer, add
indirection, and mislead newbies into thinking there's a difference.
Remove a lot of now-unnecessary ":" prefixes binding things relative to
machine root.
Clean up some miscellaneous rot.
Examples of new functionality in use in (some more subtle than others):
* src/mame/drivers/intellec4.cpp
* src/mame/drivers/tranz330.cpp
* src/mame/drivers/osboren1.cpp
* src/mame/drivers/zorba.cpp
* src/mame/devices/smioc.cpp
* src/devices/bus/a2bus/pc_xporter.cpp
* src/devices/bus/isa/isa.h
* src/devices/bus/isa/isa.h
* src/devices/bus/intellec4/intellec4.h
Beware, the device context does not follow in MCFG_FRAGMENT_ADD
anymore due to the prototype change. So creating a device then
configuring through a fragment doesn't work as-is. The simplest
solution is just to add a MCFG_DEVICE_MODIFY at the start of the
fragment with the correct tag.
(nw) This is a pretty minimal change. The point where the root device is added has been moved
from the MACHINE_CONFIG_START macro to the constructor of the machine configuration class (made
possible by giving drivers their own device types). This isn't the final change in this area.
The root device is still being handled specially in that its configuration comes from the game
driver structure. This needs to be harmonised with regular devices. But that's a job for
another day.
The core changes are:
* Short name, full name and source file are no longer members of device_t, they are part of the device type
* MACHINE_COFIG_START no longer needs a driver class
* MACHINE_CONFIG_DERIVED_CLASS is no longer necessary
* Specify the state class you want in the GAME/COMP/CONS line
* The compiler will work out the base class where the driver init member is declared
* There is one static device type object per driver rather than one per machine configuration
Use DECLARE_DEVICE_TYPE or DECLARE_DEVICE_TYPE_NS to declare device type.
* DECLARE_DEVICE_TYPE forward-declares teh device type and class, and declares extern object finders.
* DECLARE_DEVICE_TYPE_NS is for devices classes in namespaces - it doesn't forward-declare the device type.
Use DEFINE_DEVICE_TYPE or DEFINE_DEVICE_TYPE_NS to define device types.
* These macros declare storage for the static data, and instantiate the device type and device finder templates.
The rest of the changes are mostly just moving stuff out of headers that shouldn't be there, renaming stuff for consistency, and scoping stuff down where appropriate.
Things I've actually messed with substantially:
* More descriptive names for a lot of devices
* Untangled the fantasy sound from the driver state, which necessitates breaking up sound/flip writes
* Changed DECO BSMT2000 ready callback into a device delegate
* Untangled Microprose 3D noise from driver state
* Used object finders for CoCo multipak, KC85 D002, and Irem sound subdevices
* Started to get TI-99 stuff out of the TI-990 directory and arrange bus devices properly
* Started to break out common parts of Samsung ARM SoC devices
* Turned some of FM, SID, SCSP DSP, EPIC12 and Voodoo cores into something resmbling C++
* Tried to make Z180 table allocation/setup a bit safer
* Converted generic keyboard/terminal to not use WRITE8 - space/offset aren't relevant
* Dynamically allocate generic terminal buffer so derived devices (e.g. teleprinter) can specify size
* Imporved encapsulation of Z80DART channels
* Refactored the SPC7110 bit table generator loop to make it more readable
* Added wrappers for SNES PPU operations so members can be made protected
* Factored out some boilerplate for YM chips with PSG
* toaplan2 gfx
* stic/intv resolution
* Video System video
* Out Run/Y-board sprite alignment
* GIC video hookup
* Amstrad CPC ROM box members
* IQ151 ROM cart region
* MSX cart IRQ callback resolution time
* SMS passthrough control devices starting subslots
I've smoke-tested several drivers, but I've probably missed something. Things I've missed will likely blow up spectacularly with failure to bind errors and the like. Let me know if there's more subtle breakage (could have happened in FM or Voodoo).
And can everyone please, please try to keep stuff clean. In particular, please stop polluting the global namespace. Keep things out of headers that don't need to be there, and use things that can be scoped down rather than macros.
It feels like an uphill battle trying to get this stuff under control while more of it's added.
* Make device_creator a variable template and get rid of the ampersands
* Remove screen.h and speaker.h from emu.h and add where necessary
* Centralise instantiations of screen and speaker finder templates
* Add/standardise #include guards in many hearers
* Remove many redundant #includes
* Order #includesr to help catch headers that can't be #included alone
(nw) This changes #include order to be prefix, unit header if applicable
then other stuff roughly in order from most dependent to least dependent
library. This helps catch headers that don't #include things that they
use.
Use standard uint64_t, uint32_t, uint16_t or uint8_t instead of UINT64, UINT32, UINT16 or UINT8
also use standard int64_t, int32_t, int16_t or int8_t instead of INT64, INT32, INT16 or INT8
to unpack tiny_rom_entry structures at runtime.
WARNING - I've done preliminary testing on a tiny build (pacman works), but nothing more. I know for a fact that a full compile fails
- Added AM_SELECT/addrselect field. Replaces the old
AM_MIRROR/AM_MASK combo used to mirror a handler and get the mirrored
bits in the offset.
- Removed mask and/or mirror from where it didn't belong. Simplified
a lot of instances of mask that just weren't needed, especially in bus
handlers. Used the short forms of install handlers where possible.
- Replaced the 60s hippy, "It's cool man" range parameter handling in
map_range that tried to guess what was meant when the values passed
were not entirely sensible, by a cranky, diner waitress-turned IRS
auditor curmudgeon. Main control function has a series of 14 tests
just to find a reason to fatalerror out your requests. You have
been warned.
Some drivers, hopefully not many, will fail the gate-guarding
bureaucrat trials. Should be easy to fix actually, I worked on the
error messages. A full regression test would be welcome.
