Loading configs while another thread is messing with stuff just doesn't feel like a good idea
Hopefully fixes Wiimote Scanning Thread crashes on startup
Removed useless locks to DeviceContainer::m_devices_mutex, as they were all already protected by m_devices_population_mutex.
We have no interest in blocking other threads that were potentially reading devices at the same time so this seems fine.
This simplifies the code, and I've adjusted a few comments which mentioned possible deadlock that should now be totally gone.
The deadlock could have happen if a thread directly called EmulatedController::UpdateReferences(), while another another thread also reached EmulatedController::UpdateReferences() within a call to ControllerInterface::UpdateDevices(), as the mentioned function locked both the DeviceContainer::m_devices_mutex and s_get_state_mutex at the same time.
The deadlock was frequent on game emulation startup on Android, due to the UpdateReferences() call in InputConfig::LoadConfig() and the UI thread triggering calls to ControllerInterface::UpdateDevices().
It could also have happened on Desktop if a user pressed "Refresh Devices" manually in the UI while the input config was loading.
Also brought some UpdateReferences() comments and thread safety fixes from https://github.com/dolphin-emu/dolphin/pull/9489

-add a way to reset their value (from the mappings UI)
-fix "memory leak" where they would never be cleaned,
one would be created every time you wrote a character after a "$"
-fix ability to create variables with an empty string by just writing "$" (+added error for it)
-Add $ operator to the UI operators list, to expose this functionality even more
This lets Dolphin know if a configured GameCube Controller should actually
be treated as connected or not.
Talked to @JMC47 a bit about this last night. My use-case is that all of
my controllers are the same hardware (Xbox One controllers) so share the
same configuration (modulo device number). Treating them all as always
connected isn't a problem for most games, but in some (Smash Bros.) it
forces me to go find a keyboard/mouse and unconfigure any controllers
that I don't actually have connected. Hotplugging devices (works on macOS,
at least) + this patch remove my need to ever touch the Controller Config
dialog while in a game.
This patch makes the following changes:
- A new `BooleanSetting` in `GCPadEmu` called "Always Connected", which
defaults to false.
- `ControllerEmu` tracks whether the default device is connected on every
call to `UpdateReferences()`.
- `GCPadEmu.GetStatus()` now sets err bit to `PAD_ERR_NO_CONTROLLER` if
the default device isn't connected.
- `SIDevice_GCController` handles `PAD_ERR_NO_CONTROLLER` by imitating the
behaviour of `SIDevice_Null` (as far as I can tell, this is the only use
of the error bit from `GCPadStatus`).
I wanted to add an OSD message akin to the ones when Wiimotes get
connected/disconnected, but I haven't yet found where to put the logic.
Gets some constants out of the ControllerEmu namespace, and modifies
ControlGroup so that it uses the enum type itself to represent the
underlying type, rather than a u32 value.
ControllerEmu, the class, is essentially acting like a namespace for
ControlGroup. This makes it impossible to forward declare any of the
internals. It also globs a bunch of classes together which is kind of a
pain to manage.
This splits ControlGroup and the classes it contains into their own source
files and situates them all within a namespace, which gets them out of
global scope.
Since this allows forward declarations for the once-internal classes, it
now requires significantly less files to be rebuilt if anything is changed
in the ControllerEmu portion of code.
It does not split out the settings classes yet, however, as it
would be preferable to make a settings base class that all settings derive
from, but this would be a functional change -- this commit only intends to
move around existing code. Extracting the settings class will be done in
another commit.
The three parameter AnalogStick constructor takes an internal name, a
display name, and a default radius argument. The delegated constructor is
the one that calls the ControlGroup constructor, setting the group type,
so passing the group type here is a logic bug.
The only reason this appeared to work despite this bug is because
GROUP_TYPE_STICK has a value of 1, and the default radius value used for
attachment sticks is 1.0.
Better separation of concerns. Relegates `ControllerInterface` to
enumerating input controls, and the new `ControlReference` deals with
combining inputs and configuration expression parsing.
ControllerEmu is a massive class with a lot of nested public classes.
The only reason these are nested is because the outer class acts as a
namespace. There's no reason to keep these classes nested just for that.
Keeping these classes nested makes it impossible to forward declare them, which leads to quite a few includes in other headers, making compilation take
longer.
This moves the source files to their own directory so classes can be
separated as necessary to their own source files, and be namespaced under the
ControllerEmu namespace.
