We currently have two different code paths for initializing controllers:
Either the frontend (DolphinQt) can do it, or if the frontend doesn't do
it, the core will do it automatically when booting. Having these two
paths has caused problems in the past due to only one frontend being
tested (see de7ef47548). I would like to get rid of the latter path to
avoid further problems like this.
If libusb fails to initialize, an assertion fails, but if that happens before the main window is created, then Dolphin just dies. Now, the panic alert is properly shown and the user can ignore it.
These files cannot compile correctly as C, so there's no reason to have
ifdefs for C compatibility.
We switched to not checking the __cplusplus macro in our JNI code some
time ago, but it seems like I forgot to remove it from these two files.
We don't have a timeout like this on other platforms, and it doesn't
accomplish anything useful as far as I can tell. If you trigger it,
all that happens is that you don't get a working game and also can't
press Exit Emulation without Dolphin hanging (stuck in Core::Shutdown).
Fixes a crash that could occur if the static constructor function for
the MainSettings.cpp TU happened to run before the variables in
Common/Version.cpp are initialised. (This is known as the static
initialisation order fiasco.)
By using wrapper functions, those variables are now guaranteed to be
constructed on first use.
This replaces the MAX_LOGLEVEL define with a constexpr variable
in order to fix self-comparison warnings in the logging macros
when compiling with Clang. (Without this change, the log level check
in the logging macros is expanded into something like this:
`if (LINFO <= LINFO)`, which triggers a tautological compare warning.)
Yes, that's right! It's time to add even more NKit warnings,
because users still don't understand what NKit is or how it works!
More specifically, some users seem to be under the impression that
converting an NKit file to for instance RVZ using Dolphin's convert
feature will result in a normal RVZ file, when it in fact results in
an NKit RVZ file (since NKit is not a container format in the sense
that GCZ/WIA/RVZ/WBFS/CISO is, but rather a kind of trimmed ISO).
I can hardly blame users for not knowing this, because it's not
intuitive unless you know the technical details of how NKit works.
FindAllGamePaths may take a little while, and holding the
gameFileCache lock isn't actually necessary until it's time to
put the results returned by FindAllGamePaths into gameFileCache.
The downside of this change is that we have to do an extra
round of JNI in between FindAllGamePaths and Update,
but I don't think that's much of a problem.

Back when I wrote this code, I believe I set it to use a custom path
so that the cache would end up in a directory which Android considers
to be a cache directory. But nowadays the directory which Dolphin's
C++ code considers to be the cache directory is such a directory,
so there's no longer any reason to override the default path.
Any local references get cleaned up when returning to the JVM,
but some of the functions in AndroidCommon return to C++ rather
than the JVM, and functions with loops risk running into the
limit of how many simultaneous local references are allowed.
The Java implementation of getting the list of post-processing
shaders only looked in the Sys folder and not the User folder.
This could be fixed in the Java implementation, but it's
simpler to just call the C++ implementation instead.
