* Fix console history path, homepath is a core option
* Create missing directories recursively in lua plugins.
* Add lfs to global environment in a less magical way.
require normally doesn't bind the name globally just returns the
module, mame sets a preloader that does bind lfs globally, but
maybe it's less surprising to do it explicitly
Changed a loadstring to load, since lua 5.3 loadstring is not
available.
Made sure the linenoise thread returns a string.
After Ctrl+D stop reading lines.
Made the sound manager mute controls readable, and got rid of system
enable since it just controls system mute anyway. This was causing
confusion: phantom2 was trying to use both independentlyt casuing the
mute bit to be ignored.
THe Lua interface changes are mostly changing methods to properties,
some renames to make things clearer, and some additional properties for
better control over snapshots.
More Lua interface cleanup, additional properties and methods, and
documentation migration/expansion.
Emulated switch inputs can have "not" codes applied to host input axis
directions. It works the same way as host switch inputs - push twice
for a "not" prefix.
Input polling helpers no longer need to store state in the input device
items. There’s less leakage, and less chance of things interfering with
each other.
Allow snapshot view options to be configured through the internal UI via
the video options menu. Made video options menus place initial focus on
the currently selected view item. Removed some crud from the menu base
class.
Fixed the description of the "snapview" option. The value to get raw
screen pixels was changed to "native" a long time ago but the
description was never updated.
Re-arranged the Golden Poker button lamps so that the 6-button layouts
for Jolli Witch and Wild Witch make sense. In 6-button mode, the hold
buttons double as bonus game and bet buttons, but the lamp outputs don't
change. The simplest way to deal with this without requiring the user
to switch views or using layout scripting is to place the dedicated
buttons directly below the hold buttons that correspond to them.
Removed some software list data that was redundantly copied into
device_image_interface (m_supported was never even set, so it didn't
even work), and made crc() work better (previously it wasn't
recalculuated after unloading and loading another image).
Made strformat.h and devcb.h play nicer with C++17 and pre-standard
C++20. Format precision now correctly limits the length of string
views. Confirmed that strformat.{h,cpp} works with pre-standard C++20
support in GCC 9.
Removed an auto_alloc from cpu/arm7.
* Cleaned up some more of the Lua inteface. Mostly replacing methods
with properties, some consistency fixes, a few renames, some more
exposed functionality, and a couple of properties that have no
business being set from scripts made read-only.
* Moved a lot more Lua documentation out of source comments into the
documentation, and expanded on it in the process.
* Got more UI code out of the input manager.
* Changed input sequence poller to a polymorphic class where you
specify your intention upfront.
* Changed the cheat plugin to use UI Clear to clear hotkey assignments
and leave them unchanged if the user starts assignment but doesn't
press any switches.
* Ported AJR's fix for over-eager double-click recognition from SDL to
Windows OSD.
-goldnpkr.cpp: Cleaned up inputs, using standard keyout and payout types
and key assignments.
* Modernised and cleaned up Lua bindings for input classes.
* Exposed the input_sequence_poller class to Lua and updated the
autofire and cheat plugins to use it, rather than continuing to
pretend it's part of the input manager.
* Exposed more of the natural keyboard manager, including the ability
to enable/disable individual keyboard and keypad devices like you
can from the keyboard mode menu.
* Exposed a few more things on ioport_port and input_device.
-plugins/cheat: Fixed menu item not updating visually when disabling a
cheat with UI Left.
-plugins/cheatfind: Fixed not finding the first screen after screen
enumerator was exposed as an object rather than using a table.
-bwidow.cpp, pacman.cpp: Minor cleanup to recent changes.
Added methods for enabling and disabling breakpoints and watchpoints,
and made debugger views update when breakpoints/watchpoints are
manipulated from Lua. Made breakpoints and watchpoints objects rather
than tables. (It’s not possible to enable/disable a breakpoint or
watchpoint from the object itself, you have to go through its owners'
debug interface.)
Exposed more device_t members for dealing with child/sibling tags and
devices. Also provided a way to get regions/shares/banks from a device
using relative tags rather than going through the memory manager with
absolute tags.
The things that were previously called device iterators are not
iterators in the C++ sense of the word. This is confusing for
newcomers. These have been renamed to be device enumerators.
Several Lua methods and properties that previously returned tables now
return lightweight wrappers for the underlying objects. This means
creating them is a lot faster, but you can't modify them, and the
performance characteristics of different operations varies.
The render manager's target list uses 1-based indexing to be more like
idiomatic Lua.
It's now possible to create a device enumerator on any device, and then
get subdevices (or sibling devices) using a relative tag.
Much more render/layout functionality has been exposed to Lua. Layout
scripts now have access to the layout file and can directly set the
state of an item with no bindings, or register callbacks to obtain
state. Some things that were previously methods are now read-only
properties.
Layout files are no longer required to supply a "name". This was
problematic because the same layout file could be loaded for multiple
instances of the same device, and each instance of the layout file
should use the correct inputs (and in the future outputs) for the device
instance it's associated with.
This should also fix video output with MSVC builds by avoiding delegates
that return things that don't fit in a register.
