![]() Optimised generation of late bind helper functions. The late bind helper function doesn't depend on the delegate signature - only on the late bind base class and function target class. Having it inside the delegate base class means it needs to be instantiated for every combination of late bind base class, function target class and delegate signature. In a typical driver file, there is only one late bind base class (delegate_late_bind), and there will be delegates with multiple signatures bound to function members of the same class (e.g. read and write handlers, possibly of different widths, bound to members of the driver state class). By moving the late bind helper out of the delegate base class, the number of required instantiations can be reduced. By moving the body out of the enclosing class declaration, the compiler can be encouraged to coalese instantiations across translation units. While this won't give a further reduction in compile time, it should at least reduce the output binary size by reducing duplication for devices that frequently have handlers installed in memory maps. Added an additional template parameter to delegates allowing the late bind base class to be changed if desired. Moved the MSVC implementation "this" pointer optimisation out-of-line and added logging. Also cleaned up the Itanium "this" pointer adjustment and code pointer resolution implementation to reduce duplication and conditional compilation. Made binding_type_exception give a more meaningful what() message than "std::exception". Added extensive validity tests for delegate functionality. Pointers to member functions are tested, including multiple inheritance, virtual and non-virtual member functions, and checking for generational loss across copying/assigning delegates. This should properly exercise "this" pointer adjustment for the Itanium and MSVC implementations, and vtable lookup for the Itanium implementation. So-called late binding functionality is tested, including exceptions on failure. Functoids are tested, although given the encapsulation it's not possible to check that an apator isn't generated when it shouldn't be. |

What is MAME?
MAME is a multi-purpose emulation framework.
MAME's purpose is to preserve decades of software history. As electronic technology continues to rush forward, MAME prevents this important "vintage" software from being lost and forgotten. This is achieved by documenting the hardware and how it functions. The source code to MAME serves as this documentation. The fact that the software is usable serves primarily to validate the accuracy of the documentation (how else can you prove that you have recreated the hardware faithfully?). Over time, MAME (originally stood for Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator) absorbed the sister-project MESS (Multi Emulator Super System), so MAME now documents a wide variety of (mostly vintage) computers, video game consoles and calculators, in addition to the arcade video games that were its initial focus.
How to compile?
If you're on a *NIX or OSX system, it could be as easy as typing
make
for a MAME build,
make SUBTARGET=arcade
for an arcade-only build, or
make SUBTARGET=mess
for MESS build.
See the Compiling MAME page on our documentation site for more information, including prerequisites for Mac OS X and popular Linux distributions.
For recent versions of OSX you need to install Xcode including command-line tools and SDL 2.0.
For Windows users, we provide a ready-made build environment based on MinGW-w64.
Visual Studio builds are also possible, but you still need build environment based on MinGW-w64. In order to generate solution and project files just run:
make vs2019
or use this command to build it directly using msbuild
make vs2019 MSBUILD=1
Where can I find out more?
- Official MAME Development Team Site (includes binary downloads, wiki, forums, and more)
- Official MESS Wiki
- MAME Testers (official bug tracker for MAME and MESS)

Coding standard
MAME source code should be viewed and edited with your editor set to use four spaces per tab. Tabs are used for initial indentation of lines, with one tab used per indentation level. Spaces are used for other alignment within a line.
Some parts of the code follow Allman style; some parts of the code follow K&R style -- mostly depending on who wrote the original version. Above all else, be consistent with what you modify, and keep whitespace changes to a minimum when modifying existing source. For new code, the majority tends to prefer Allman style, so if you don't care much, use that.
All contributors need to either add a standard header for license info (on new files) or inform us of their wishes regarding which of the following licenses they would like their code to be made available under: the BSD-3-Clause license, the LGPL-2.1, or the GPL-2.0.
License
The MAME project as a whole is made available under the terms of the GNU General Public License, version 2 or later (GPL-2.0+), since it contains code made available under multiple GPL-compatible licenses. A great majority of the source files (over 90% including core files) are made available under the terms of the 3-clause BSD License, and we would encourage new contributors to make their contributions available under the terms of this license.
Please note that MAME is a registered trademark of Gregory Ember, and permission is required to use the "MAME" name, logo, or wordmark.
