The current code inserts and deletes elements from the beginning of the audio buffer, which is very inefficient in an std::vector.
Profiling was done using VisualStudio2017's Performance Analyzer in Super Mario 3D Land.
Before this change: AudioInterp::Linear had 14.14% of the runtime (inclusive) and most of that time was spent in std::vector's insert implementation.
After this change: AudioInterp::Linear has 0.36% of the runtime (inclusive)
Corrects a few issues with regards to Doxygen documentation, for example:
- Incorrect parameter referencing.
- Missing @param tags.
- Typos in @param tags.
and a few minor other issues.
Pipe 2 is a DSP pipe that is used to initialize both the DSP hardware (the
application signals to the DSP to initialize) and the application (the DSP
provides the memory location of structures in the shared memory region).
This commit:
* Adds a new subproject, audio_core.
* Defines structures that exist in DSP shared memory.
* Hooks up various other parts of the emulator into audio core.
This sets the foundation for a later HLE DSP implementation.
