New code adds a test failure if there's a Patches/Gecko/AR_Retroachievements_Verified code that doesn't appear to actually exist in the file. This will catch if the allowed patch is formatted wrong, which I found happening several times already due to not realizing that the patch author's name would need to be omitted.
This unit test compares ApprovedInis.json with the contents of the GameSettings folder to verify that every patch marked allowed for use with RetroAchievements has a hash in ApprovedInis.json. If not, that hash is reported in the test logs so that the hash may be updated more easily.
This is a little trick I came up with that lets us restructure our float
classification code so we can exit earlier when the float is normal,
which is the case more often than not.
First we shift left by 1 to get rid of the sign bit, and then we count
the number of leading sign bits. If the result is less than 10 (for
doubles) or 7 (for floats), the float is normal. This is because, if the
float isn't normal, the exponent is either all zeroes or all ones.
Using GTEST_SKIP instead of just returning from the function shows that
a test was skipped in the test summary. If GTEST_SKIP is called the rest
of the function won't be run, just like with the return.
GTEST_SKIP wasn't available until gtest 1.10, and we updated to 1.12 in
597f8f1b87.
Most of these correspond to changes made in devkitPro/libogc@b1b8ecab3a.
The numeric vlaues of ACC0 and ACC1 in Dolphin are different (see b06d38389b, though I'm not sure when this difference first appeared). Technically it's not even necessary to list the registers at the start like this anymore, but old programs do it, so it seems useful to have a test that covers it.
The binary itself does not need to be changed; the warnings were simply stating that "although you wrote $ACL0, the generated binary instead is using $ACC0" or similar; by changing the code to use $ACC0 directly the warnings are resolved.
I don't know what happened here, unfortunately. The version of dsp_mixer.s added to libogc on Nov 14, 2008 in c76d8b851f uses andcf and jlz here, and the version we have matches the one from Feb 5, 2009 in ae5c3a5fb5 exactly (prior to the fixes in my previous commit). I can't see any reason why wait_for_dsp_mail would be changed like this.
ANDCF and ANDF were previously swapped and JNE/JEQ/JZR/JNZ became JNZ/JZ/JLNZ/JLZ on Apr 3, 2009 in 7c4e654253, corresponding to a change Hermes made on Nov 10, 2008 in 2cea6d99ad. But these predate the test being added.
The only other information I can find is that ASNDLIB 1.0 released on November 11, 2008, at https://web.archive.org/web/20120326145022/http://www.entuwii.net/foro/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=87 (but there aren't any surviving links from there).
