This also moves them into the cpp file and limits the visibility to
where they're directly used. It also gets rid of unused or duplicate
error codes.
The kernel caps the size limit of shared memory to 8589930496 bytes (or
(1GB - 512 bytes) * 8), so approximately 8GB, where every GB has a 512
byte sector taken off of it.
It also ensures the shared memory is created with either read or
read/write permissions for both permission types passed in, allowing the
remote permissions to also be set as "don't care".
Part of the checking done by the kernel is to check if the given
address and size are 4KB aligned, as well as checking if the size isn't
zero. It also only allows mapping shared memory as readable or
read/write, but nothing else, and so we shouldn't allow mapping as
anything else either.
Previously, these were sitting outside of the Kernel namespace, which
doesn't really make sense, given they're related to the Thread class
which is within the Kernel namespace.
There were a few places where nested namespace specifiers weren't being
used where they could be within the service code. This amends that to
make the namespacing a tiny bit more compact.
While unlikely, it does avoid constructing a std::string and
unnecessarily calling into the memory code if a game or executable
decides to be really silly about their logging.
This places the font data within cpp files, which mitigates the
possibility of the font data being duplicated within the binary if it's
referred to in more than one translation unit in the future. It also
stores the data within a std::array, which is more flexible when it
comes to operating with the standard library.
Furthermore, it makes the data arrays const. This is what we want, as it
allows the compiler to store the data within the read-only segment. As
it is, having several large sections of mutable data like this just
leaves spots in memory that we can accidentally write to (via accidental
overruns, what have you) and actually have it work. This ensures the
font data remains the same no matter what.
When a destructor isn't defaulted into a cpp file, it can cause the use
of forward declarations to seemingly fail to compile for non-obvious
reasons. It also allows inlining of the construction/destruction logic
all over the place where a constructor or destructor is invoked, which
can lead to code bloat. This isn't so much a worry here, given the
services won't be created and destroyed frequently.
The cause of the above mentioned non-obvious errors can be demonstrated
as follows:
------- Demonstrative example, if you know how the described error happens, skip forwards -------
Assume we have the following in the header, which we'll call "thing.h":
\#include <memory>
// Forward declaration. For example purposes, assume the definition
// of Object is in some header named "object.h"
class Object;
class Thing {
public:
// assume no constructors or destructors are specified here,
// or the constructors/destructors are defined as:
//
// Thing() = default;
// ~Thing() = default;
//
// ... Some interface member functions would be defined here
private:
std::shared_ptr<Object> obj;
};
If this header is included in a cpp file, (which we'll call "main.cpp"),
this will result in a compilation error, because even though no
destructor is specified, the destructor will still need to be generated by
the compiler because std::shared_ptr's destructor is *not* trivial (in
other words, it does something other than nothing), as std::shared_ptr's
destructor needs to do two things:
1. Decrement the shared reference count of the object being pointed to,
and if the reference count decrements to zero,
2. Free the Object instance's memory (aka deallocate the memory it's
pointing to).
And so the compiler generates the code for the destructor doing this inside main.cpp.
Now, keep in mind, the Object forward declaration is not a complete type. All it
does is tell the compiler "a type named Object exists" and allows us to
use the name in certain situations to avoid a header dependency. So the
compiler needs to generate destruction code for Object, but the compiler
doesn't know *how* to destruct it. A forward declaration doesn't tell
the compiler anything about Object's constructor or destructor. So, the
compiler will issue an error in this case because it's undefined
behavior to try and deallocate (or construct) an incomplete type and
std::shared_ptr and std::unique_ptr make sure this isn't the case
internally.
Now, if we had defaulted the destructor in "thing.cpp", where we also
include "object.h", this would never be an issue, as the destructor
would only have its code generated in one place, and it would be in a
place where the full class definition of Object would be visible to the
compiler.
---------------------- End example ----------------------------
Given these service classes are more than certainly going to change in
the future, this defaults the constructors and destructors into the
relevant cpp files to make the construction and destruction of all of
the services consistent and unlikely to run into cases where forward
declarations are indirectly causing compilation errors. It also has the
plus of avoiding the need to rebuild several services if destruction
logic changes, since it would only be necessary to recompile the single
cpp file.
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.
