File paths passed to it would have been implicitly converted to std::strings
prior to this function being reached, so it gets rid of some string churn.
It also makes it safer since nullptr can't be passed in.
Drops prefixed underscores from parameters
The C++14 standard states in section 2.10 subsection 3.2:
"Each identifier that begins with an underscore is reserved to the
implementation for use as a name in the global namespace."
It's highly unlikely an implementation will ever use '_inst' as a global
identifier, however it's better to just amend the names and alleviate
the concern altogether.
Hides the opcode tables that the interpreter and JIT interface with to
execute instructions.
This does not, however, hide the read-only tables that the assembler and
disassembler use.
Makes it more obvious which data is going into the savestate.
It also allows PowerPCState and InstructionCache to potentially
contain members that don't necessarily need to be saved to the save state.
It also gets rid of any potential padding data being put into the save
state.
Hiding and not implementing the copy constructor is a pre-C++11 thing.
It should also be noted that a copy constructor, as defined by the
language, contains a const qualifier on its parameter, so this wouldn't
have prevented copies from being performed.

It also follows that if the copy constructor is deleted, then copy
assignment should also be forbidden.
This attempts to make some bit arithmetic more self-documenting and also
make it easier during review to identify potential off-by-one errors by
making it possible to just specify which bits are being extracted.
Functions both support the case where bits being extracted can vary and
fixed bit extraction. In the case the bits are fixed, compile-time asserts
are present to prevent accidental API usage at compile-time.
e.g. Instead of shifting and masking to get bits 10 to 15,
Common::ExtractBits<10, 15>(value) can just be done instead.
This constant isn't particularly helpful, mainly because it's not
applicable to all DSP instructions. Some instructions don't have encoding
space for registers, and not all instructions that do encode registers
have one at the first five bits.
This change also has the benefit of removing all includes to the
interpreter within the JIT code, which keeps them fully separate from one
another. Changes to the interpreter header won't require some of the JIT
code to be rebuilt.
Size is internally stored as a size_t, so having an int parameter
would cause implicit sign-conversion from a signed value to an
unsigned value to occur.
The constructor shouldn't be used as a dumping ground for all UI-related
initialization. Doing so makes it somewhat more difficult to reason about
how certain UI elements get created. It also puts unrelated identifiers in
the same scope.
This separates the UI creation out so code relevant to each component
is self-contained.
Certain parts of the standard library try to determine whether or not a
transfer operation should either be a copy or a move. The prevalent notion
of move constructors/assignment operators is that they should not throw,
they simply move an already existing resource somewhere else.
This is typically done with 'std::move_if_noexcept'. Like the name says,
if a type's move constructor is noexcept, then the functions retrieves an
r-value reference (for move semantics), or an l-value (for copy semantics)
if it is not noexcept.
As IOFile deletes the copy constructor and copy assignment operators,
using IOFile with certain parts of the standard library can fail in
unexcepted ways (especially when used with various container
implementations). This prevents that.
'operator void*' is basically a pre-C++11-ism that was used, as C++03
only had the notion of implicit type-conversion operators, but not explicit type
conversion operators (allowing implicit conversion of a file handle to
bool can go downhill pretty quickly).
This also makes it a strongly-typed enum.
Considering that the flushing mode is a trait/behavior for the register
cache, it doesn't really make sense to have the enum separate from it.
This also has the benefit of removing constants from global scope.
