This fixes a problem I was having where using frame advance with the
debugger open would frequently cause panic alerts about invalid addresses
due to the CPU thread changing MSR.DR while the host thread was trying
to access memory.
To aid in tracking down all the places where we weren't properly locking
the CPU, I've created a new type (in Core.h) that you have to pass as a
reference or pointer to functions that require running as the CPU thread.
Turns out all OSD messages, every single one, are written to the titlebar. We've just never seen them because the FPS is in the title bar and it replaces it in a fraction of a second. This was only visible when saving savestates because it halts emulation for a moment while writing.
This is dumb, let's not do that anymore.
We currently have two different code paths for initializing controllers:
Either the frontend (DolphinQt) can do it, or if the frontend doesn't do
it, the core will do it automatically when booting. Having these two
paths has caused problems in the past due to only one frontend being
tested (see de7ef47548). I would like to get rid of the latter path to
avoid further problems like this.
Fixes a crash that could occur if the static constructor function for
the MainSettings.cpp TU happened to run before the variables in
Common/Version.cpp are initialised. (This is known as the static
initialisation order fiasco.)
By using wrapper functions, those variables are now guaranteed to be
constructed on first use.
The fix in ef77872 worked for panic alerts from
the CPU thread, but there were still problems with
panic alerts from the GPU thread in dual core mode.
This change attempts to fix those.
While trying to work on adding audiodump support for CLI, I was alerted that it was important to first try moving the DSP configs to the new config before continuing, as that makes it substantially easier to write clean code to add such a feature.
This commit aims to allow for Dolphin to only rely on the new config for DSP-related settings.
Previously, only the number of total input polls would be shown in the window title when playing back a movie. This simply adds the VI / frame count total as well, which is a much more relevant number to look at while TASing.
