nullptr was being returned in the error case, which, at a glance may
seem perfectly OK... until you realize that std::string has the
invariant that it may not be constructed from a null pointer. This
means that if this error case was ever hit, then the application would
most likely crash from a thrown exception in std::string's constructor.
Instead, we can change the function to return an optional value,
indicating if a failure occurred.
Makes the parameter ordering consistent, and also makes the filename
parameter a std::string. A std::string would be constructed anyways with
the previous code, as IOFile's only constructor with a filepath is one
taking a std::string.
We can also make WriteStringToFile's string parameter utilize a
std::string_view for the string, making use of our previous changes to
IOFile.
We don't need to force the usage of a std::string here, and can instead
use a std::string_view, which allows writing out other forms of strings
(e.g. C-style strings) without any unnecessary heap allocations.
This allows for forming comment nodes without making unnecessary copies
of the std::string instance.
e.g. previously:
Comment(fmt::format("Base address is c[0x{:x}][0x{:x}]",
cbuf->GetIndex(), cbuf_offset));
Would result in a copy of the string being created, as CommentNode()
takes a std::string by value (a const ref passed to a value parameter
results in a copy).
Now, only one instance of the string is ever moved around. (fmt::format
returns a std::string, and since it's returned from a function by value,
this is a prvalue (which can be treated like an rvalue), so it's moved
into Comment's string parameter), we then move it into the CommentNode
constructor, which then moves the string into its member variable).
Amends cases where we were using things that were indirectly being
satisfied through other headers. This way, if those headers change and
eliminate dependencies on other headers in the future, we don't have
cascading compilation errors.
Previously, the code was accumulating data into a std::vector and then
tossing all of it away if a setting was disabled.
Instead, we can just check if it's disabled and do no work at all if
possible. If it's enabled, then we can append to the vector and
allocate.
Unlikely to impact usage much, but it is slightly less sloppy with
resources.
A few of the aoc service stubs/implementations weren't fully popping all
of the parameters passed to them. This ensures that all parameters are
popped and, at minimum, logged out.
Now that we have an OpenGL compatibility profile we might want to use
OpenGL compatibility symbols that are not available in our current glad.
This commit has been generated with https://glad.dav1d.de/ with all
extensions enabled and OpenGL 4.6 compatibility profile.
Given the array is a private static array, we can just make it
internally linked to hide it from external code. This also allows us to
remove an inclusion within the header.
SMDH is a metadata format used in some executable formats for the
Nintendo 3DS. Switch executables don't utilize this metadata format, so
this just a holdover from Citra and can be corrected.
Allows the loading screen code to compile with implicit string
conversions disabled.
While we're at it remove unnecessary const usages, and add it to nearby
variables where appropriate.
Gets rid of the need to special-case brace handling depending on the
overload used, and makes it consistent across the board with how fmt
handles them.
Strings with compile-time deducible strings are directly forwarded to
std::string's constructor, so we don't need to worry about the
performance difference here, as it'll be identical.
In a lot of places throughout the decompiler, string concatenation via
operator+ is used quite heavily. This is usually fine, when not heavily
used, but when used extensively, can be a problem. operator+ creates an
entirely new heap allocated temporary string and given we perform
expressions like:
std::string thing = a + b + c + d;
this ends up with a lot of unnecessary temporary strings being created
and discarded, which kind of thrashes the heap more than we need to.
Given we utilize fmt in some AddLine calls, we can make this a part of
the ShaderWriter's API. We can make an overload that simply acts as a
passthrough to fmt.
This way, whenever things need to be appended to a string, the operation
can be done via a single string formatting operation instead of
discarding numerous temporary strings. This also has the benefit of
making the strings themselves look nicer and makes it easier to spot
errors in them.
