The benefit of std::string_view comes from the idea of avoiding copies
(essentially acting as a non-owning view), however if we're just going
to copy into a local variable immediately, there's not much benefit
gained here.
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.
This amends cases where crashes can occur that were missed due to the
odd way the previous code was set up (using 3DS memory regions that
don't exist).
Using member variables for referencing the segments array increases the
size of the class in memory for little benefit. The same behavior can be
achieved through the use of accessors that just return the relevant
segment.
Avoids using a u32 to compare against a range of size_t, which can be a
source of warnings. While we're at it, compress a std::tie into a
structured binding.
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.
