We are dangerously close to MSVC's 16384 character limit for string literals. Breaking this string up and concatenating will allow for more settings to be added in the future.
The addition of the use_vulkan_driver_pipeline_cache option into the default ini string literal caused the 16,384-byte limit of the MSVC compiler to be exceeded.
As an optional feature which can be enabled in the advanced graphics configuration, all pipelines that get built at the initial shader loading are stored in a VkPipelineCache object and are dumped to the disk.
These vendor specific pipeline cache files are located at `/shader/GAME_ID/vulkan_pipelines.bin`. This feature was mainly added because of an issue with the AMD driver (see yuzu-emu#8507) causing invalidation of the cache files the driver builds automatically.
[REUSE] is a specification that aims at making file copyright
information consistent, so that it can be both human and machine
readable. It basically requires that all files have a header containing
copyright and licensing information. When this isn't possible, like
when dealing with binary assets, generated files or embedded third-party
dependencies, it is permitted to insert copyright information in the
`.reuse/dep5` file.
Oh, and it also requires that all the licenses used in the project are
present in the `LICENSES` folder, that's why the diff is so huge.
This can be done automatically with `reuse download --all`.
The `reuse` tool also contains a handy subcommand that analyzes the
project and tells whether or not the project is (still) compliant,
`reuse lint`.
Following REUSE has a few advantages over the current approach:
- Copyright information is easy to access for users / downstream
- Files like `dist/license.md` do not need to exist anymore, as
`.reuse/dep5` is used instead
- `reuse lint` makes it easy to ensure that copyright information of
files like binary assets / images is always accurate and up to date
To add copyright information of files that didn't have it I looked up
who committed what and when, for each file. As yuzu contributors do not
have to sign a CLA or similar I couldn't assume that copyright ownership
was of the "yuzu Emulator Project", so I used the name and/or email of
the commit author instead.

Inlines implementation of exclusive instructions into JITted code,
improving performance of applications relying heavily on these
instructions.
We also fastmem these instructions for additional speed, with
support for appropriate recompilation on fastmem failure.
An unsafe optimization to disable the intercore global_monitor is also
provided, should one wish to rely solely on cmpxchg semantics for
safety.

Some system configurations may see visual regressions or lower performance using GPU decoding compared to CPU decoding. This setting provides the option for users to specify their decoding preference.

Use VK_KHR_pipeline_executable_properties when enabled and available to
log statistics about the pipeline cache in a game.
For example, this is on Turing GPUs when generating a pipeline cache
from Super Smash Bros. Ultimate:
Average pipeline statistics
==========================================
Code size: 6433.167
Register count: 32.939
More advanced results could be presented, at the moment it's just an
average of all 3D and compute pipelines.
This setting is best referred to as a speed limit, as it involves the limits of all timing based aspects of the emulator, not only framerate.
This allows us to differentiate it from the fps unlocker setting.
GLASM is getting good enough that we can move it out of advanced
graphics settings. This removes the setting `use_assembly_shaders`,
opting for a enum class `shader_backend`. This comes with the benefits
that it is extensible for additional shader backends besides GLSL and
GLASM, and this will work better with a QComboBox.
Qt removes the related assembly shader setting from the Advanced
Graphics section and places it as a new QComboBox in the API Settings
group. This will replace the Vulkan device selector when OpenGL is
selected.
Additionally, mark all of the custom anisotropic filtering settings as
"WILL BREAK THINGS", as that is the case with a select few games.
Reverts 48259de0c1 to the previous
hierarchy and fixes the resolution issue with this fullscreen mode.
yuzu-cmd will now read the fullscreen_mode setting and use it
appropriately.
Many settings in common/settings.h are missing from yuzu-cmd, either
they were added to default_ini.h but not read in, or vice versa, or the
setting was altogether omitted from yuzu-cmd. Some defaults were
reported wrong, so those were fixed where noticed.
This introduces a new setting Enable FS Access Log which saves the filesystem access log to sdmc:/FsAccessLog.txt
If this setting is not enabled, this will indicate to FS to not call OutputAccessLogToSdCard.
Fixes softlocks during loading in Xenoblade Chronicles 2 when certain DLC is enabled.
