In VolumeVerifier.cpp, constructing a `std::string_view` of the volume's GameID is unnecessary, as `std::`(`ranges::`)`binary_search` supports heterogeneous lookup. The usage in GameFile.cpp is a perfect example.
In OGLConfig.cpp, `std::views::reverse` is used rather than sorting using `std::ranges::greater` in order to parallel other instances of reverse iteration in the function.
In DSPCore.cpp, there were two `std::fill` uses that could be simplified using `std::fill_n`. Due to their proximity with other `std::fill` algorithms being modernized with ranges, I chose to make these examples into the rare `std::ranges::fill_n`.
In StringUtil.h, the lambdas wrapping `Common::ToLower(char)` and `Common::ToUpper(char)` were only necessary due to the function names being overloaded.
With 12 uses of `JoinStrings` in the codebase vs 36 uses of `fmt::join`, fmtlib's range adapter for string concatenation with delimiters is clearly the preferred option.
Migrating `Common::CaseInsensitiveLess` to StringUtil.h will hopefully discourage rolling one's own solution in the future for case-insensitive associative containers when this (quite robust!) solution already exists.
`Common::CaseInsensitiveStringCompare::IsEqual` was removed in favor of using the `Common::CaseInsensitiveEquals` function.
The `a.size() != b.size()` condition in `Common::CaseInsensitiveEquals` can be removed, since `std::ranges::equal` already checks this condition (confirmed in libc++).
There were three distinct mechanisms for signaling breakpoint changes in DolphinQt, and the wiring had room for improvement. The behavior of these signals has been consolidated into the new `Host::PPCBreakpointsChanged` signal, which can be emitted from anywhere in DolphinQt to properly update breakpoints everywhere in DolphinQt.
This improves a few things:
- For the `CodeViewWidget` and `MemoryViewWidget`, signals no longer need to propagate through the `CodeWidget` and `MemoryWidget` (respectively) to reach their destination (incoming or outgoing).
- For the `BreakpointWidget`, by self-triggering from its own signal, it no longer must manually call `Update()` after all of the emission sites.
- For the `BranchWatchDialog`, it now has one less thing it must go through the `CodeWidget` for, which is a plus.
I wasn't aware that even with a size of zero, it's still not safe to pass a nullptr to `std::memcpy`. When `CachedInterpreterEmitter::PoisonCallback` is written, UB is happening.
Invert conditions, invert decrement checks, and make conditional branches unconditional. USnapshotMetadata in prior versions of Dolphin is forward-compatible with these changes (tested on x86_64).
Objects which get parented automatically by later processing now pass a nullptr to the constructor to make the intent clearer. Also fixed "true" and "false" not being translatable strings.
`std::bit_cast` participates in overload resolution only if `sizeof(To) == sizeof(From)` and both `To` and `From` are *TriviallyCopyable* types, so the static assertions here can be removed. `[[nodiscard]]` was added as well.
This compile definition was removed in 68cbd2640d because it was complicated by changes in 50dc0ffbce. Thus, the LLVM disassembler would never be used in UICommon's Disassembler class.
In a race condition, the core could shut down between the `JitInterface::GetCore` nullptr check and the `JitInterface::JitBlockLogDump` call which constructs a `CPUThreadGuard`. In this scenario, nothing horrible happens—`JitBlockLogDump` also checks for a nullptr—but it would be a failure to display the correct feedback to the user.
I tried making the new templated Interpret callback test only the relevant exceptions (EXCEPTION_DSI, EXCEPTION_PROGRAM, or both), but didn't find a significant performance boost in it. As I am learning, the biggest bottleneck is the number of callbacks emitted, not usually the actual contents of them.
WritePC is now needed far less, only for instructions that end the block. Unfortunately, WritePC still needs to update `PowerPCState::npc` to support the false path of conditional branch instructions. Both drawbacks should be smoothed over by optimized cached instructions in the future.
Due to an oversight in our CMakeLists, pkg-config would attempt to find *minizip* 3.0.0 (which doesn't exist) instead of *minizip-ng* 3.0.0, or at least it was on my Manjaro Linux machine. This has been fixed. The new submodule is using minizip-ng 3.0.4, the same version that was being used before.
