The data retrieved in these cases are ultimately chiefly owned by either
the RegisteredCache instance itself, or the filesystem factories. Both
these should live throughout the use of their contained data. If they
don't, it should be considered an interface/design issue, and using
shared_ptr instances here would mask that, as the data would always be
prolonged after the main owner's lifetime ended.
This makes the lifetime of the data explicit and makes it harder to
accidentally create cyclic references. It also makes the interface
slightly more flexible than the previous API, as a shared_ptr can be
created from a unique_ptr, but not the other way around, so this allows
for that use-case if it ever becomes necessary in some form.
Neither of these functions require the use of shared ownership of the
returned pointer. This makes it more difficult to create reference
cycles with, and makes the interface more generic, as std::shared_ptr
instances can be created from a std::unique_ptr, but the vice-versa
isn't possible. This also alters relevant functions to take NCA
arguments by const reference rather than a const reference to a
std::shared_ptr. These functions don't alter the ownership of the memory
used by the NCA instance, so we can make the interface more generic by
not assuming anything about the type of smart pointer the NCA is
contained within and make it the caller's responsibility to ensure the
supplied NCA is valid.
We can just compare the existing std::vector instance with a constexpr
std::array containing the desired match. This is lighter resource-wise,
as we don't need to allocate on the heap.
Adds missing includes to prevent potential compilation issues in the
future. Also moves the definition of a struct into the cpp file, so that
some includes don't need to be introduced within the header.
Specifically bugs/crashes that arise when putting them in positions that are legal but not typical, such as midline, between patch data, or between patch records.
GetName() returns a std::string by value, not by reference, so after the
std::string_view is constructed, it's not well defined to actually
execute any member functions of std::string_view that attempt to access
the data, as the std::string has already been destroyed. Instead, we can
just use a std::string and erase the last four characters.
When searching for a file extension, it's generally preferable to begin
the search at the end of the string rather than the beginning, as the
whole string isn't going to be walked just to check for something at the
end of it.
If an error occurs when constructing the PartitionFilesystem instance,
the constructor would be exited early, which wouldn't initialize the
extracted data member, making it possible for other code to perform an
uninitialized read by calling the public IsExtractedType() member
function. This prevents that.
Like the other two bits of factored out code, this can also be put
within its own function. We can also modify the code so that it accepts
a const reference to a std::vector of files, this way, we can
deduplicate the file retrieval.
Now the constructor for NSP isn't a combination of multiple behaviors in
one spot. It's nice and separate.
This too, is completely separate behavior from what is in the
constructor, so we can move this to its own isolated function to keep
everything self-contained.
If any of the error paths before the NCA retrieval are taken, it'll
result in program_nca_status being left in an inconsistent state. So we
initialize it by default with a value indicating an error.
Makes the public interface consistent in terms of how accesses are done
on a process object. It also makes it slightly nicer to reason about the
logic of the process class, as we don't want to expose everything to
external code.
The std::vector instances are already initially allocated with all
entries having these values, there's no need to loop through and fill
them with it again when they aren't modified.
auto x = 0;
auto-deduces x to be an int. This is undesirable when working with
unsigned values. It also causes sign conversion warnings. Instead, we
can make it a proper unsigned value with the correct width that the
following expressions operate on.
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.
This converts it into a regular constructor parameter. There's no need
to make this a template parameter on the class when it functions
perfectly well as a constructor argument.
This also reduces the amount of code bloat produced by the compiler, as
it doesn't need to generate the same code for multiple different
instantiations of the same class type, but with a different fill value.
