ESCore implements the core functionality that can also be used outside of emulation. ESDevice implements the IOS device and is only available during emulation.
Previously we were translating "w" to "w", which unlike in C++ doesn't
truncate. See https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/180526528, and for
reference, https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/io/c/fopen and
https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/io/basic_filebuf/open.
This issue was brought to my attention by the recently published issue
CVE-2023-21036 in the screenshot editing tool on Pixel phones. I'm not
aware of any code in Dolphin that actually uses "w" with an existing
file on Android (when we ask the user for a location to save to using
SAF, a new file is always created), but still, best to fix this.
All settings that we care about from an Android perspective are now
supported by the new config system, so we can remove all the Android code
for the old config system. This should have no impact on users.
Up until now, there have been two settings on Android that stored the
selected Wii Remote extension: the normal one that's also used on PC,
and a SharedPreferences one that's used by the overlay controls to
determine what controls to show. It is possible for these two to end up
out of sync, and my input changes have made that more likely to happen.
To fix this, let's rework how the overlay controller setting works.
We don't want it to encode the currently selected Wii Remote extension.
However, we can't simply get rid of the setting, because for some Wii
games we need the ability to switch between a GameCube controller and a
Wii Remote. What this commit does is give the user the option to select
any of the 4 GameCube controllers and any of the 4 Wii Remotes. (Before,
controllers 2-4 weren't available in the overlay.) Could be useful for
things like the Psycho Mantis fight in Metal Gear Solid. I'm also
switching from SharedPreferences to Dolphin.ini while I'm at it.
It's missing a lot of features from the PC version for now, like
buttons for inserting functions and the ability to see what the
expression evaluates to. I mostly just wanted to get something in
place so you can set up rumble.

ButtonManager is very different from how a normal input backend works,
and is making it hard for us to improve controller support on Android.
The following commits will add a new input backend in its place.
This second stack leads to JNI problems on Android, because ART fetches
the address and size of the original stack using pthread functions
(see GetThreadStack in art/runtime/thread.cc), and (presumably) treats
stack addresses outside of the original stack as invalid. (What I don't
understand is why some JNI operations on the CPU thread work fine
despite this but others don't.)
Instead of creating a second stack, let's borrow the approach ART uses:
Use pthread functions to find out the stack's address and size, then
install guard pages at an appropriate location. This lets us get rid
of a workaround we had in the MsgAlert function.
Because we're no longer choosing the stack size ourselves, I've made some
tweaks to where the put the guard pages. Previously we had a stack of
2 MiB and a safe zone of 512 KiB. We now accept stacks as small as 512 KiB
(used on macOS) and use a safe zone of 256 KiB. I feel like this should
be fine, but haven't done much testing beyond "it seems to work".
By the way, on Windows it was already the case that we didn't create
a second stack... But there was a bug in the implementation!
The code for protecting the stack has to run on the CPU thread, since
it's the CPU thread's stack we want to protect, but it was actually
running on EmuThread. This commit fixes that, since now this bug
matters on other operating systems too.
This is the first step of getting rid of the controller indirection
on Android. (Needing a way for touch controls to provide input
to the emulator core is the reason why the controller indirection
exists to begin with as far as I understand it.)
Because of the previous commit, this is needed to stop DolphinQt from
forgetting that the user pressed ignore whenever any part of the config
is changed.
This commit also changes the behavior a bit on DolphinQt: "Ignore for
this session" now applies to the current emulation session instead of
the current Dolphin launch. This matches how it already worked on
Android, and is in my opinion better because it means the user won't
lose out on important panic alerts in a game becase they played another
game first that had repeated panic alerts that they wanted to ignore.
For Android, this commit isn't necessary, but it makes the code cleaner.
