To ensure memory safety, callers of GetPointer have to perform a bounds
check. But how is this bounds check supposed to be performed?
GetPointerForRange contained one implementation of a bounds check, but
it was cumbersome, and it also isn't obvious why it's correct.
To make doing the right thing easier, this commit changes GetPointer to
return a span that tells the caller how many bytes it's allowed to
access.
On all platforms, this would result in out of bounds accesses when getting the component sizes (which uses stuff from VertexLoader_Position.h/VertexLoader_TextCoord.h/VertexLoader_Normal.h). On platforms other than x64 and ARM64, this would also be out of bounds accesses when getting function pointers for the non-JIT vertex loader (in VertexLoader_Position.cpp etc.). Usually both of these would get data from other entries in the same multi-dimensional array, but the last few entries would be truly out of bounds. This does mean that an out of bounds function pointer can be called on platforms that don't have a JIT vertex loader, but it is limited to invalid component formats with values 5/6/7 due to the size of the bitfield the formats come from, so it seems unlikely that this could be exploited in practice.
This issue affects a few games; Def Jam: Fight for New York (https://bugs.dolphin-emu.org/issues/12719) and Fifa Street are known to be affected.
I have not done any hardware testing for this PR specifically, though I *think* I previously determined that at least a value of 5 behaves the same as float (4). That's what I implemented in any case. I did previously determine that both Def Jam: Fight for New York and Fifa Street use an invalid normal format, but don't actually have lighting enabled when that normal vector is used, so it doesn't change rendering in practice.
The color component format also has two invalid values, but VertexLoader_Color.h/.cpp do check for those invalid ones and return a default value instead of doing an out of bounds access.
Fixes a build failure with clang 17.
The destructor needs to be in the cpp file, since we have a forward
declared std::unique_ptr type as part of the class. So technically the
default inline destructor could invoke without seeing the full data type
definition.
As far as I can tell, it has nothing to do with the mipmap/half_scale functionality, but does change based on the width of the destination texture (and the destination texture is half the width if half_scale is set). The comment that was there (which dates back to the initial megacommit) seems to not have accounted for the width aspect; it was first used as an actual stride in bbbe898839 (the first commit that used it at all).
Before, it used a fallback where it returned a default object, where the width and height were set to 0. Presenter::Initialize() used GetSurfaceInfo to set the backbuffer size, then used that size when initializing the on-screen UI (even for the software renderer, where the on-screen UI isn't currently present), which meant that ImGui got a window size of 0 and thus resulted in a failed assertion.
Although BindBackbuffer checks for size changes, it doesn't help because ImGui has already been initialized, and the size hasn't actually changed since initialization occured.
Fixes one aspect of https://bugs.dolphin-emu.org/issues/13172.
The whole ownership model was getting a bit of a mess, with a some
of special cases to deal with. And I'm planning to make it even more
complex in the future.
So here is some upfront work to convert it over to reference counted
pointers.
This was added in #10394 for both the hardware and software backends to work around an issue with Mario Kart Wii, Fortune Street, and Baten Kaitos. However, it seems like the software renderer handles blending well enough that we don't need this (and in any case, it's easy to change blending in the software renderer).
Some experimentation with #11387 (not pushed) showed that the software renderer's logic would also produce correct results on the hardware backends with this hack removed, but would require fbfetch (currently); if a better solution is found the hack can also be removed from the hardware backends.
Texture dumping can already be done using VideoCommon's system (and in fact the same setting already enabled *both* of these). Dumping objects/TEV stages/texture fetches doesn't currently have an equivalent, but could be added to the FIFO player instead.
It stores both the konst selection value for alpha and color channels (for two tev stages per ksel), and half of a swap table row (there are 4 total swap tables, which can be used for swizzling the rasterized color and the texture color, and indices selecting which tables to use are stored per tev stage in the alpha combiner). Since these are indexed very differently, the old code was hard to follow.
The masking was incorrect. This affects the main menu of The Last Avatar, though that menu also relies on copy filter functionality that is not correctly handled in the software renderer so the difference is not obvious; that game shuffles textures across all indices for some reason, so this issue would presumably result in subtle flickering.
