Neither of these functions alter the ownership of the provided pointer,
so we can simply make the parameters a reference rather than a direct
shared pointer alias. This way we also disallow passing incorrect memory values like
nullptr.
There's no real need to use a shared pointer in these cases, and only
makes object management more fragile in terms of how easy it would be to
introduce cycles. Instead, just do the simple thing of using a regular
pointer. Much of this is just a hold-over from citra anyways.
It also doesn't make sense from a behavioral point of view for a
process' thread to prolong the lifetime of the process itself (the
process is supposed to own the thread, not the other way around).
A process should never require being reference counted in this
situation. If the handle to a process is freed before this function is
called, it's definitely a bug with our lifetime management, so we can
put the requirement in place for the API that the process must be a
valid instance.
Given these are only added to the class to allow those functions to
access the private constructor, it's a better approach to just make them
static functions in the interface, to make the dependency explicit.
Given we now have the kernel as a class, it doesn't make sense to keep
the current process pointer within the System class, as processes are
related to the kernel.
This also gets rid of a subtle case where memory wouldn't be freed on
core shutdown, as the current_process pointer would never be reset,
causing the pointed to contents to continue to live.
The only reason this include was necessary, was because the constructor
wasn't defaulted in the cpp file and the compiler would inline it
wherever it was used. However, given Controller is forward declared, all
those inlined constructors would see an incomplete type, causing a
compilation failure. So, we just place the constructor in the cpp file,
where it can see the complete type definition, allowing us to remove
this include.
Eliminates the need to rebuild some source files if the file_util header
ever changes. This also uncovered some indirect inclusions, which have
also been fixed.
The follow-up to e2457418da, which
replaces most of the includes in the core header with forward declarations.
This makes it so that if any of the headers the core header was
previously including change, then no one will need to rebuild the bulk
of the core, due to core.h being quite a prevalent inclusion.
This should make turnaround for changes much faster for developers.
core.h is kind of a massive header in terms what it includes within
itself. It includes VFS utilities, kernel headers, file_sys header,
ARM-related headers, etc. This means that changing anything in the
headers included by core.h essentially requires you to rebuild almost
all of core.
Instead, we can modify the System class to use the PImpl idiom, which
allows us to move all of those headers to the cpp file and forward
declare the bulk of the types that would otherwise be included, reducing
compile times. This change specifically only performs the PImpl portion.
As means to pave the way for getting rid of global state within core,
This eliminates kernel global state by removing all globals. Instead
this introduces a KernelCore class which acts as a kernel instance. This
instance lives in the System class, which keeps its lifetime contained
to the lifetime of the System class.
This also forces the kernel types to actually interact with the main
kernel instance itself instead of having transient kernel state placed
all over several translation units, keeping everything together. It also
has a nice consequence of making dependencies much more explicit.
This also makes our initialization a tad bit more correct. Previously we
were creating a kernel process before the actual kernel was initialized,
which doesn't really make much sense.
The KernelCore class itself follows the PImpl idiom, which allows
keeping all the implementation details sealed away from everything else,
which forces the use of the exposed API and allows us to avoid any
unnecessary inclusions within the main kernel header.
All calling code assumes that the rasterizer will be in a valid state,
which is a totally fine assumption. The only way the rasterizer wouldn't
be is if initialization is done incorrectly or fails, which is checked
against in System::Init().
We move the initialization of the renderer to the core class, while
keeping the creation of it and any other specifics in video_core. This
way we can ensure that the renderer is initialized and doesn't give
unfettered access to the renderer. This also makes dependencies on types
more explicit.
For example, the GPU class doesn't need to depend on the
existence of a renderer, it only needs to care about whether or not it
has a rasterizer, but since it was accessing the global variable, it was
also making the renderer a part of its dependency chain. By adjusting
the interface, we can get rid of this dependency.
None of these files are used in any meaningful way. They're just
leftovers from citra. Also has the benefit of getting rid of an unused
global variable.
General moving to keep kernel object types separate from the direct
kernel code. Also essentially a preliminary cleanup before eliminating
global kernel state in the kernel code.
Makes the global a member of the RendererBase class. We also change this
to be a reference. Passing any form of null pointer to these functions
is incorrect entirely, especially given the code itself assumes that the
pointer would always be in a valid state.
This also makes it easier to follow the lifecycle of instances being
used, as we explicitly interact the renderer with the rasterizer, rather
than it just operating on a global pointer.
This makes it a compilation error to construct additional instances of
the System class directly, preventing accidental wasteful constructions
over and over.
This would result in a lot of allocations and related object
construction, just to toss it all away immediately after the call.
These are definitely not intentional, and it was intended that all of
these should have been accessing the static function GetInstance()
through the name itself, not constructed instances.
