This patch helps to keep the audio from breaking-up on slow machines when using
SDL audio. On those slow machines you do still get the break-up every so often
but the sound tends not to break-up nearly as often. It is much better on the
ears. Notably often the system beeps do not have a pause in them.
Slow machine is <= 1 GHz G4.
This first patch gets B2 and SS to build under Leopard and Tiger.
I tested this on a 32-bit intel 10.5.6 mac like so:
B2
./autogen.sh --disable-standalone-gui --enable-vosf --enable-sdl-video --enable-sdl-audio --enable-addressing=real --without-esd --without-gtk --without-mon --without-x
SS
./autogen.sh --disable-standalone-gui --enable-vosf -enable-sdl-video --disable-sdl-audio --enable-addressing=real --without-esd --without-gtk --without-mon --without-x --enable-jit
There is also a little tweak so that you can use sdl audio in SheepShaver when building for Mac OS X.
Makes SheepShaver compatible with Ubuntu Intrepid and
other distros that bundle the gcc-4.3 compiler.
The patch changes two things:
1. Renames the block_cache where its name collides with its class
definition.
2. Fixes the "explicit template specialization cannot have a storage
class" error in the ppc-dyngen-ops.cpp file.
Previously, SheepShaver would usually hang if it was unable to access the ROM
file on startup, due to a race between media_poll_func() and DarwinSysExit().
This change eliminates the race by ensuring that media_poll_func() always ends
up waiting in CFRunLoopRun(), which allows us to terminate the polling thread
in a consistent way.
This fixes the mapping of SDL mouse-button numbers to MacOS/ADB mouse-button numbers,
to correct the reversal of the middle and right buttons. Most useful in conjunction
with a multi-button mouse enabler such as TheMouse2B:

... which can turn a right-click into a control-click.
The CDROM status call "WhoIsThere" (csCode 97) is now implemented. Apart from
eliminating "WARNING: Unknown CDROMStatus(97)" complaints from the console log,
this does not appear to have had any effects whatsoever.
A typo in the implementation of the CDROM status call "GetCDFeatures" has been
corrected per Technical Note DV22:

Software cursor mode is now supported, although currently the existing hardware
cursor mode is used whenever possible. (Software mode will be used if you are
running with a recent version of SDL's Quartz video driver, since a bug in SDL
1.2.11 and later prevents the hardware cursor from working properly with that
driver.)
In hardware cursor mode, the hot-spot is now determined heuristically. Formerly
it could not be determined and was always (1,1), an annoyance for many cursors
other than the arrow.
In hardware cursor mode, the cursor will now be hidden when requested by the
emulated OS (such as when you are typing in a text field).
In hardware cursor mode, some cursor image formats that the code does not handle
correctly will now be rejected, causing the emulated OS to revert temporarily to
software cursor mode. Formerly you would just end up with random garbage for a
cursor. This typically happened for grayscale or color cursors; rejecting images
with rowBytes != 2 eliminates the worst cases.
clicks to right-clicks and option-clicks to middle-clicks, a feature intended
for Mac users with single-button mice who are running SDL-based games that
require a multi-button mouse. This is unhelpful in SheepShaver, where we want
command-clicks and option-clicks to be passed through unchanged to the emulated
Mac OS. We can disable the unwanted behavior by setting an environment variable
SDL_HAS3BUTTONMOUSE intended for this very purpose.
A similar change in main_windows.cpp is NOT required, because only the Quartz
video implementation is involved.
By SDL convention, putenv is used in preference to setenv, although for Unix
platforms it doesn't matter.
SheepShaver window a number of times (somewhere around 30 or 40 times will do
it), SheepShaver appears to lock up. This occurs because SDL posts application
activate/deactivate events to its event queue when the mouse moves in/out of the
SheepShaver window, but these events are never consumed, and as a result, the
event queue fills up. Thereafter, no new events can be posted, and user inputs
are ignored. The fix is to consume SDL_ACTIVEEVENT in handle_events().
file I/O to the external filesystem. The application-specified ioPosMode parameter must
be masked off appropriately in extfs.cpp:fs_set_fpos(), as is done elsewhere in the file.
- Rename X86_SSE_CC_NE to X86_SSE_CC_NEQ (match Intel reference manual)
- Rename MOVDLX to MOVDXD (%Xmm register as Destination)
- Rename MOVDQX to MOVQXD (%Xmm register as Destination)
- Rename MOVDXL to MOVDXS (%Xmm register as Source)
- Rename MOVDXQ to MOVQXS (%Xmm register as Source)
explicitly generated from mig. The advantage of that is to provide a "fast"
path for x86_64 on Leopard too (fault address in code[1]).
By "fast", this means +33% faster wrt. explicitly thread_get_state() but
still pretty slow (40 usec/fault). This is on par with the i386 code path though.
Leopard kernel faster? This is pure marketing hype. For 32-bit applications,
Mach exception recovery is 60% slower. For 64-bit applications, this is up
to 40% faster though. In any case, MacOS X remains pretty slow wrt. Linux...
environment variable: SIGSEGV_MACH_FAULT. It can be set to "direct" to
assume the fault address comes from code[1] argument, or "slow" to use
the slow path through thread_get_status(EXCEPTION_STATE)->faultvaddr.
