core.h is kind of a massive header in terms what it includes within
itself. It includes VFS utilities, kernel headers, file_sys header,
ARM-related headers, etc. This means that changing anything in the
headers included by core.h essentially requires you to rebuild almost
all of core.
Instead, we can modify the System class to use the PImpl idiom, which
allows us to move all of those headers to the cpp file and forward
declare the bulk of the types that would otherwise be included, reducing
compile times. This change specifically only performs the PImpl portion.
As means to pave the way for getting rid of global state within core,
This eliminates kernel global state by removing all globals. Instead
this introduces a KernelCore class which acts as a kernel instance. This
instance lives in the System class, which keeps its lifetime contained
to the lifetime of the System class.
This also forces the kernel types to actually interact with the main
kernel instance itself instead of having transient kernel state placed
all over several translation units, keeping everything together. It also
has a nice consequence of making dependencies much more explicit.
This also makes our initialization a tad bit more correct. Previously we
were creating a kernel process before the actual kernel was initialized,
which doesn't really make much sense.
The KernelCore class itself follows the PImpl idiom, which allows
keeping all the implementation details sealed away from everything else,
which forces the use of the exposed API and allows us to avoid any
unnecessary inclusions within the main kernel header.
Instead, we make a struct for renderer settings and allow the renderer
to update all of these settings, getting rid of the need for
global-scoped variables.
This also uncovered a few indirect inclusions for certain headers, which
this commit also fixes.
This is simply copied by value, so there's no need to make it a
modifiable reference.
While we're at it, make the names of the parameters match its
definition.
We don't need to use a std::string here, given all that's done is
comparing the character sequence against another. This allows passing
regular const char* without needing to heap allocate.
We move the initialization of the renderer to the core class, while
keeping the creation of it and any other specifics in video_core. This
way we can ensure that the renderer is initialized and doesn't give
unfettered access to the renderer. This also makes dependencies on types
more explicit.
For example, the GPU class doesn't need to depend on the
existence of a renderer, it only needs to care about whether or not it
has a rasterizer, but since it was accessing the global variable, it was
also making the renderer a part of its dependency chain. By adjusting
the interface, we can get rid of this dependency.
General moving to keep kernel object types separate from the direct
kernel code. Also essentially a preliminary cleanup before eliminating
global kernel state in the kernel code.
We can use emplace_back to construct the Display instances directly,
instead of constructing them separately and copying them, avoiding the
need to copy std::string and std::vector instances that are part of the
Display struct.
