GameTracker's usage of GameFileCache is thread-safe even without
using a mutex. All of its access to GameFileCache happens on the
thread m_load_thread, except for the call to GameFileCache::Load,
which finishes before m_load_thread starts executing.
Starting with 5.0-5504, trying to launch DolphinQt2 from Visual Studio
shows the error message "The operation could not be completed. Undefined
error" instead of launching the exe file. (The exe gets created
correctly, it just doesn't get launched. It's possible to work around
the problem by launching the exe manually outside of Visual Studio, but
then you won't have an attached debugger automatically.) This commit
fixes that by removing headers from DolphinQt2.vcxproj's ClInclude list
that already are in the QtMoc list. (The problem was originally about
LogWidget.h and LogConfigWidget.h, but 5.0-5600 made the problem be
about CheatWarningWidget.h and GeckoCodeWidget.h instead.)
1) Most of the times the native heap is kept around even after the activity
is killed, we can ask the native code if it is still running and resume
the emulation if that is the case.
2) In case the native heap is freed and the emulation can't resume we used
a temporary state to load on the game boot.
I couldn't find a way to test this, if you want to test this schnario,
add this block to EmulationFragment.
public void onDestroy()
{
stopEmulation();
super.onDestroy();
}
onDestroy is only called if the acivity killed by the OS and not be rotation
change whihch in this case will make sure to kill the emulation and start
again when the activiy is re-created.
Note: By "HandleInit" in this commit message, I mean the code that is
in HandleInit in master except the part that launches EmulationActivity.
In other words, I mean the call to SetUserDirectory and the call to
DirectoryInitializationService.startService. Couldn't think of
something more accurate to call that than "HandleInit"...
In master, HandleInit only runs when the main activity is launched.
This is a problem if the app ends up being launched in some other way,
such as resuming EmulationActivity after the app has been killed in
order to reclaim memory. It's important that we run HandleInit, because
otherwise the native code won't know where the User and Sys folders are.
In order to implement this, I'm dropping the ability to set a custom
User folder in an intent. I don't think anyone is using that anyway.
It's not impossible to support it, but I can't see a way to support
it that doesn't involve something ugly like having code for calling
HandleInit in every activity (or at least MainActivity + TvMainActivity
+ EmulationActivity, with more activities potentially needing it in
the future if we expand the usage of native code for e.g. settings).
If we want to support setting a custom user directory, we should
consider another way to do it, such as a setting that's stored in
getFilesDir() or getExternalStorageDirectory(). Intents are intended
to control the behavior of a specific activity, not the whole app.
