and paths consistently for devices, I/O ports, memory
regions, memory banks, and memory shares. [Aaron Giles]
NOTE: there are likely regressions lurking here, mostly
due to devices not being properly found. I have temporarily
added more logging to -verbose to help understand what's
going on. Please let me know ASAP if anything that is being
actively worked on got broken.
As before, the driver device is the root device and all
other devices are owned by it. Previously all devices
were kept in a single master list, and the hierarchy was
purely logical. With this change, each device owns its
own list of subdevices, and the hierarchy is explicitly
manifest. This means when a device is removed, all of its
subdevices are automatically removed as well.
A side effect of this is that walking the device list is
no longer simple. To address this, a new set of iterator
classes is provided, which walks the device tree in a depth
first manner. There is a general device_iterator class for
walking all devices, plus templates for a device_type_iterator
and a device_interface_iterator which are used to build
iterators for identifying only devices of a given type or
with a given interface. Typedefs for commonly-used cases
(e.g., screen_device_iterator, memory_interface_iterator)
are provided. Iterators can also provide counts, and can
perform indexed lookups.
All device name lookups are now done relative to another
device. The maching_config and running_machine classes now
have a root_device() method to get the root of the hierarchy.
The existing machine->device("name") is now equivalent to
machine->root_device().subdevice("name").
A proper and normalized device path structure is now
supported. Device names that start with a colon are
treated as absolute paths from the root device. Device
names can also use a caret (^) to refer to the owning
device. Querying the device's tag() returns the device's
full path from the root. A new method basetag() returns
just the final tag.
The new pathing system is built on top of the
device_t::subtag() method, so anyone using that will
automatically support the new pathing rules. Each device
has its own internal map to cache successful lookups so
that subsequent lookups should be very fast.
Updated every place I could find that referenced devices,
memory regions, I/O ports, memory banks and memory shares
to leverage subtag/subdevice (or siblingtag/siblingdevice
which are built on top).
Removed the device_list class, as it doesn't apply any
more. Moved some of its methods into running_machine
instead.
Simplified the device callback system since the new
pathing can describe all of the special-case devices that
were previously handled manually.
Changed the core output function callbacks to be delegates.
Completely rewrote the validity checking mechanism. The
validity checker is now a proper C++ class, and temporarily
takes over the error and warning outputs. All errors and
warnings are collected during a session, and then output in
a consistent manner, with an explicit driver and source file
listed for each one, as well as additional device and/or
I/O port contexts where appropriate. Validity checkers
should no longer explicitly output this information, just
the error, assuming that the context is provided.
Rewrote the software_list_device as a modern device, getting
rid of the software_list_config abstraction and simplifying
things.
Changed the way FLAC compiles so that it works like other
external libraries, and also compiles successfully for MSVC
builds.

Converted PlayStation DMA to an internal device to the CPU core. DMA to external devices can be set in the machine config, the old calls are still there until the rest of the code is converted. [smf]
The following MAME core changes have been required to allow internal devices to be configurable by the main machine config & to work with internal memory maps.
device.machine_config_additions() are now processed as soon as the device is added, so sub devices can be configured straight away.
replacing or removing a device removes any devices owned by the device being removed, as now they are added straight away.
device_t::subdevice() uses the machine config device list instead of the machine to find the device as the machine is not created until after all the devices have been created.
devices in an internal address map are assumed to be owned by the CPU, while devices in a standard address maps are assumed to be siblings of the CPU.
A code review and regression test would be a good idea.

existing modern devices and the legacy wrappers to work in this
environment. This in general greatly simplifies writing a modern
device. [Aaron Giles]
General notes:
* some more cleanup probably needs to happen behind this change,
but I needed to get it in before the next device modernization
or import from MESS :)
* new template function device_creator which automatically defines
the static function that creates the device; use this instead of
creating a static_alloc_device_config function
* added device_stop() method which is called at around the time
the previous device_t's destructor was called; if you auto_free
anything, do it here because the machine is gone when the
destructor is called
* changed the static_set_* calls to pass a device_t & instead of
a device_config *
* for many devices, the static config structure member names over-
lapped the device's names for devcb_* functions; in these cases
the members in the interface were renamed to have a _cb suffix
* changed the driver_enumerator to only cache 100 machine_configs
because caching them all took a ton of memory; fortunately this
implementation detail is completely hidden behind the
driver_enumerator interface
* got rid of the macros for creating derived classes; doing it
manually is now clean enough that it isn't worth hiding the
details in a macro

Added new macro MACHINE_CONFIG_DERIVED_CLASS() which works just like
MACHINE_CONFIG_DERIVED() except you can specify an alternate driver_device
class. Used this in the 8080bw.c games which require an _8080bw_state, but
derive from mw8080bw_root which has the base class mw8080bw_state.

Remove redundant machine items from address_space and device_t.
Neither machine nor m_machine are directly accessible anymore.
Instead a new getter machine() is available which returns a
machine reference. So:
space->machine->xxx ==> space->machine().xxx
device->machine->yyy ==> device->machine().yyy
Globally changed all running_machine pointers to running_machine
references. Any function/method that takes a running_machine takes
it as a required parameter (1 or 2 exceptions). Being consistent
here gets rid of a lot of odd &machine or *machine, but it does
mean a very large bulk change across the project.
Structs which have a running_machine * now have that variable
renamed to m_machine, and now have a shiny new machine() method
that works like the space and device methods above. Since most of
these are things that should eventually be devices anyway, consider
this a step in that direction.
98% of the update was done with regex searches. The changes are
architected such that the compiler will catch the remaining
errors:
// find things that use an embedded machine directly and replace
// with a machine() getter call
S: ->machine->
R: ->machine\(\)\.
// do the same if via a reference
S: \.machine->
R: \.machine\(\)\.
// convert function parameters to running_machine &
S: running_machine \*machine([^;])
R: running_machine \&machine\1
// replace machine-> with machine.
S: machine->
R: machine\.
// replace &machine() with machine()
S: \&([()->a-z0-9_]+machine\(\))
R: \1
// sanity check: look for this used as a cast
(running_machine &)
// and change to this:
*(running_machine *)

functionality in favor of alternate mechanisms. Errors are
now reported via an astring rather than via callbacks. Every
option must now specify a type (command, integer, float, string,
boolean, etc). Command behavior has changed so that only one
command is permitted. [Aaron Giles]
Changed fileio system to accept just a raw searchpath instead of
an options/option name combination. [Aaron Giles]
Created emu_options class dervied from core_options which wraps
core emulator options. Added mechanisms to cleanly change the
system name and add/remove system-specific options, versus the
old way using callbacks. Also added read accessors for all the
options, to ensure consistency in how parameters are handled.
Changed most core systems to access emu_options instead of
core_options. Also changed machine->options() to return emu_options.
[Aaron Giles]
Created cli_options class derived from emu_options which adds the
command-line specific options. Updated clifront code to leverage
the new class and the new core behaviors. cli_execute() now accepts
a cli_options object when called. [Aaron Giles]
Updated both SDL and Windows to have their own options classes,
derived from cli_options, which add the OSD-specific options on
top of everything else. Added accessors for all the options so
that queries are strongly typed and simplified. [Aaron Giles]
Out of whatsnew: I've surely screwed up some stuff, though I have
smoke tested a bunch of things. Let me know if you hit anything odd.
Also I know this change will impact the WINUI stuff, please let me
know if there are issues. All the functionality necessary should
still be present. If it's not obvious, please talk to me before
adding stuff to the core_options class.

Screen update function is now per screen device
(it was before but was attached to machine driver)
MCFG_VIDEO_UPDATE -> MCFG_SCREEN_UPDATE
MCFG_VIDEO_EOF -> MCFG_SCREEN_EOF
EOF is now executed for all screens, so for all existing it
is defined just for one screen. This part will be updated in future.
Note that there are now screen_update and screen_eof virtual functions
for "modern" drivers which are called same as they did before.
All drivers are updated and in places where update function was separated per
screen I did name separate function.
This change will enable us to put screen definition fully into device.

to pass a core_options object to the constructor, along with
a search path. This required pushing either a running_machine
or a core_options through some code that wasn't previously
ready to handle it. emu_files can be reused over multiple
open/close sessions, and a lot of core code cleaned up
nicely as things were converted to them.
Also created a file_enumerator class for iterating over files
in a searchpath. This replaces the old mame_openpath functions.
Changed machine->options() to return a reference.
Removed public nvram_open() and fixed jchan/kaneko16 to
stop directly saving NVRAM.
Removed most of the mame_options() calls; this will soon go
away entirely, so don't add any more.
Added core_options to device_validity_check() so they can be
used to validate things.

broadly used.
Added memory interface to the intelfsh device so you can access/view the
data in the debugger and via the standard memory interfaces. Removed the
old memory() method in favor of new functions read_raw()/write_raw() which
do direct reads/writes of the data.
Cleaned up CPS3 No-CD sets to break up the "ROMs" into individual flash
pieces which are automatically loaded by the intelfsh device on initialization.
Also split the MACHINE_CONFIG to only populate the number of SIMMs actually
present for each game, as documented in the top of the file. And replaced
the NVRAM_HANDLER with an NVRAM device.

device interface. This means all ROMs are now exposed via devices,
and thus the process of enumerating ROMs gets simpler.
Changed all instances of temporarily allocating machine_config objects
to just put them on the stack for simplicity, letting the destructor
handle the cleanup work automatically.
Changed machine_config constructor to take a game_driver, from which
the machine_config constructor is obtained. This also means the
resulting machine_config holds a reference to the game_driver.
Changed running_machine constructor to no longer take a game_driver,
since the game_driver is now obtainable via the machine_config.

class with a new driver_device class, which is the base class for all
driver_data objects now. The new driver devices are added as the
first device in the device list, with a tag of "root"; all other
devices are now owned by the driver device.
Moved core callbacks (machine_start/_reset, sound_start/_reset,
video_start/_reset/_eof/_update, and palette_init) into device
configuration parameters on these new devices. The driver_device
base class overrides device_start(), ensures all other devices have
been started, and then calls, in order, the following overridable
methods:
find_devices() - new, used to locate devices prior to DRIVER_INIT
DRIVER_INIT function from the game driver
palette_init() - by default calls the MDRV_PALETTE_INIT function
driver_start() - new
machine_start() - by default calls the MDRV_MACHINE_START function
sound_start() - by default calls the MDRV_SOUND_START function
video_start() - by default calls the MDRV_VIDEO_START function
Similarly, the driver_device class overrides device_reset() and then
calls these methods in order:
driver_reset() - new
machine_reset() - by default calls the MDRV_MACHINE_RESET function
sound_reset() - by default calls the MDRV_SOUND_RESET function
video_reset() - by default calls the MDRV_VIDEO_RESET function
To accommodate these changes, initialization order is slightly
altered from before. The tilemap, video, sound, and debug systems
are now initialized prior to the devices' start. And the user
callbacks for DRIVER_INIT, PALETTE_INIT, MACHINE_START, SOUND_START,
and VIDEO_START are all called back-to-back. The net effect should
be similar, however.
Added methods (optional_device and required_device) to the new
driver_device class to find devices, intended to be used from the
find_devices() callback. See harddriv.h and beathead.h for examples
of usage.
Changed device_t::subtag to only prepend a prefix if the device is
not the 'root' device, in order to keep compatibility with existing
tag searching.
Changed device startup to actively reorder devices when they report
missing dependencies. This ensures that the reset functions get
called in the same order that the start functions did.
Bulk updated drivers as follows:
First removed the old static alloc function from the driver_data_t:
S: [ \t]*static driver_device \*alloc *\( *running_machine *\&machine *\) *\{ *return auto_alloc_clear *\( *\&machine *, *[a-zA-Z0-9_]+_state *\( *machine *\) *\); *\}[\r\n]*
R:
Then switched from driver_data_t to driver_device:
S: driver_data_t
R: driver_device
Then changed the constructors to pass the correct parameters:
S: ([a-zA-Z0-9_]+)_state *\( *running_machine *\&machine *\)([\r\n\t ]+): *driver_device *\( *machine *\)
R: \1_state\(running_machine \&machine, const driver_device_config_base \&config\)\2: driver_device\(machine, config\)

1. Renamed MACHINE_DRIVER_* to MACHINE_CONFIG_* to match the name
of the object it actually describes. The MDRV_* prefix may
eventually be bulk updated at some point, but not now.
2. MACHINE_CONFIG_START() now takes a driver_data_t-derived
class as a required second parameter. This means that
MDRV_DRIVER_DATA() is no longer required, and every "root"
machine config *must* specify a driver data class (or driver_data_t
itself if the driver has not yet been updated to use driver data).
3. New MACHINE_CONFIG_DERIVED() macro defines a machine_config
that is derived from another machine_config. This takes the place
of the very typical MACHINE_DRIVER_START()/MDRV_IMPORT_FROM()
combination.
4. New MACHINE_CONFIG_FRAGMENT() macro defines a partial
machine_config that can only be included in another "root"
machine_config. This is also used for machine_configs that are
specified as part of a device.
5. Changed MDRV_IMPORT_FROM() to MDRV_FRAGMENT_ADD() to more
accurately describe what is happening.
6. Added asserts to the above three macros to ensure they are
properly used.
Updated all machine drivers to use the new macros. Search & replace
lists below cover 99% of the changes, with just a few manual fixups.
S: MACHINE_DRIVER_START\( *([a-zA-Z0-9_]+) *\)[\r\n\t ]*MDRV_DRIVER_DATA\( *([a-zA-Z0-9_]+) *\)
R: MACHINE_CONFIG_START\( \1, \2 \)
S: MACHINE_DRIVER_START\( *([a-zA-Z0-9_]+) *\)[\r\n\t ]*/\* driver data \*/[\r\n\t ]*MDRV_DRIVER_DATA\( *([a-zA-Z0-9_]+) *\)

S: MACHINE_DRIVER_START\( *([a-zA-Z0-9_]+) *\)[\r\n\t ]*MDRV_IMPORT_FROM\( *([a-zA-Z0-9_]+) *\)
R: MACHINE_CONFIG_DERIVED\( \1, \2 \)
S: MACHINE_DRIVER_START\( *([a-zA-Z0-9_]+) *\)[\r\n\t ]*/\* basic machine hardware \*/[\r\n\t ]*MDRV_IMPORT_FROM\( *([a-zA-Z0-9_]+) *\)
R: MACHINE_CONFIG_DERIVED\( \1, \2 \)\r\n\r\n\t/\* basic machine hardware \*/
For all files outside of mame/drivers....
S: MACHINE_DRIVER_START
R: MACHINE_CONFIG_FRAGMENT in all non-drivers
For all files within mame/drivers....
S: MACHINE_DRIVER_START\( *([a-zA-Z0-9_]+) *\)
R: MACHINE_CONFIG_START\( \1, driver_data_t \)
S: MDRV_IMPORT_FROM
R: MDRV_FRAGMENT_ADD
S: MACHINE_DRIVER_END
R: MACHINE_CONFIG_END
S: MACHINE_DRIVER_NAME
R: MACHINE_CONFIG_NAME
S: MACHINE_DRIVER_EXTERN
R: MACHINE_CONFIG_EXTERN
Final step: run mame -valid and fix the incorrect macros at the lines
where the asserts show up.

type safety. If legacy devices still use inline data, those types are not checked.
However, new devices no longer have access to the generic m_inline_data. Instead
their MDRV_* macros should map to calls to static functions in the device config
class which downcast a generic device_config to the specific device config, and
then set the appropriate values. This is not to be done inline in order to prevent
further code bloat in the constructors. See eeprom/7474/i2cmem/okim6295 for examples.
#ifdef'ed several unused machine driver definitions that weren't referenced.

Defined new class driver_data_t, which all driver_data classes must
derive from. Updated all class definitions to inherit from the new
class, and to call it in the constructor. Also changed the alloc()
signature to return a driver_data_t pointer instead of a void *.
Renamed and hid machine->driver_data as machine->m_driver_data.
Added a new templatized method machine->driver_data<class> which returns
a properly downcast'ed version of the driver data. Updated all code
which looked like this:
mydriver_state *state = (mydriver_state *)machine->driver_data;
to this:
mydriver_state *state = machine->driver_data<mydriver_state>();
The new function does a downcast<> which in debug builds dynamically
verifies that you're actually casting to the right type.
Changed atarigen_state to be a base class from which all the related
Atari drivers derive their state from.
For MESS: this was mostly a bulk search/replace, in 4 steps in
src/mame:
1. Add ": public driver_data_t" to each driver state class definition:
Search: (class [a-z0-9_]+_state)$
Replace: \1 : public driver_data_t
2. Change the static alloc function to return a driver_data_t *:
Search: static void \*alloc\(
Replace: static driver_data_t \*alloc\(
3. Change the constructor to initialize driver_data_t:
Search: ([a-z0-9_]+_state\(running_machine \&machine\)) { }
Replace: \1\r\n\t\t: driver_data_t(machine) { }
4. Replace the state fetchers to use the new templatized function:
Search: \(([a-z0-9_]+_state) \*\)(.*)machine->driver_data
Replace: \2machine->driver_data<\1>()

up the definition, rather than the whole tokenizing system, which lost type
checking. Added a new module addrmap.c which implements the address map
classes, and changed the macros to call methods on the address_map and
address_map_entry classes which are strongly typed.
Fixed a few incorrectly specified memory map entries along the way. Please
double-check to make sure the behavior is expected in: twincobr.c, lordgun.c,
galaxold.c.
This change also means that since the address_maps are now constructor
functions, they are detected when not used, so a number of #ifdef UNUSED_CODE
were added around dangling address map definitions.
Also included with this change:
- removed cputag_clocks_to_attotime() and cputag_attotime_to_clocks() in
favor of just expanding the class
- same for cputag_suspend() and cputag_resume()

DECLARE_LEGACY_CPU_DEVICE and DEFINE_LEGACY_CPU_DEVICE. Changed CPUs
to be their own device types, rather than all of type CPU with a
special internal subtype. Note that as part of this process I removed
the CPU_ prefix from the ALL-CAPS device name, so CPU_Z80 is just
plain old Z80 now. This required changing a couple of names like
8080 to I8080 so that there was an alphabetic first character.
Added memory interfaces to the list of fast-access interfaces. To do
this properly I had to add a separate method to devices which is
called immediately after construction, when it is possible to perform
dynamic_casts on fully-constructed objects. (This is just internal,
no changes necessary to the devices themselves.)
Some additional notes:
* SH2 and SH4 had typedefs that conflicted with their CPU_-less names
so I bulk renamed to structures to sh2_state and sh4_state; RB, feel
free to choose alternate names if you don't like 'em
* SCSP was caught doing something to the 3rd indexed CPU. Since several
systems that use SCSP don't even have 3 CPUs, I had no idea what
this was supposed to do, so I changed to it reference "audiocpu"
assuming that stv was the assumed target. This is really gross and
should be a configuration parameter, not a hard-coded assumption.

this object which can be called multiple times to append new devices
after the initial machine configuration is set up. Updated member
variables to match new naming convention.
Changed the running_machine to take a constructed machine_config
object in the constructor, instead of creating one itself, for
consistency. Also added machine->total_colors() as a shortcut to
machine->config->m_total_colors.

performance as a result of this change. Do not panic; report issues to the
list in the short term and I will look into them. There are probably also
some details I forgot to mention. Please ask questions if anything is not
clear.
NOTE: This is a major internal change to the way devices are handled in
MAME. There is a small impact on drivers, but the bulk of the changes are
to the devices themselves. Full documentation on the new device handling
is in progress at http://mamedev.org/devwiki/index.php/MAME_Device_Basics
Defined two new casting helpers: [Aaron Giles]
downcast<type>(value) should be used for safe and efficient downcasting
from a base class to a derived class. It wraps static_cast<> by adding
an assert that a matching dynamic_cast<> returns the same result in
debug builds.
crosscast<type>(value) should be used for safe casting from one type to
another in multiple inheritance scenarios. It compiles to a
dynamic_cast<> plus an assert on the result. Since it does not optimize
down to static_cast<>, you should prefer downcast<> over crosscast<>
when you can.
Redefined running_device to be a proper C++ class (now called device_t).
Same for device_config (still called device_config). All devices and
device_configs must now be derived from these base classes. This means
each device type now has a pair of its own unique classes that describe
the device. Drivers are encouraged to use the specific device types
instead of the generic running_device or device_t classes. Drivers that
have a state class defined in their header file are encouraged to use
initializers off the constructor to locate devices. [Aaron Giles]
Removed the following fields from the device and device configuration
classes as they never were necessary or provided any use: device class,
device family, source file, version, credits. [Aaron Giles]
Added templatized variant of machine->device() which performs a downcast
as part of the device fetch. Thus machine->device<timer_device>("timer")
will locate a device named "timer", downcast it to a timer_device, and
assert if the downcast fails. [Aaron Giles]
Removed most publically accessible members of running_device/device_t in
favor of inline accessor functions. The only remaining public member is
machine. Thus all references to device->type are now device->type(), etc.
[Aaron Giles]
Created a number of device interface classes which are designed to be mix-
ins for the device classes, providing specific extended functionality and
information. There are standard interface classes for sound, execution,
state, nvram, memory, and disassembly. Devices can opt into 0 or more of
these classes. [Aaron Giles]
Converted the classic CPU device to a standard device that uses the
execution, state, memory, and disassembly interfaces. Used this new class
(cpu_device) to implement the existing CPU device interface. In the future
it will be possible to convert each CPU core to its own device type, but
for now they are still all CPU devices with a cpu_type() that specifies
exactly which kind of CPU. [Aaron Giles]
Created a new header devlegcy.h which wraps the old device interface using
some special template classes. To use these with an existing device,
simply remove from the device header the DEVICE_GET_INFO() declaration and
the #define mapping the ALL_CAPS name to the DEVICE_GET_INFO. In their
place #include "devlegcy.h" and use the DECLARE_LEGACY_DEVICE() macro.
In addition, there is a DECLARE_LEGACY_SOUND_DEVICE() macro for wrapping
existing sound devices into new-style devices, and a
DECLARE_LEGACY_NVRAM_DEVICE() for wrapping NVRAM devices. Also moved the
token and inline_config members to the legacy device class, as these are
not used in modern devices. [Aaron Giles]
Converted the standard base devices (VIDEO_SCREEN, SPEAKER, and TIMER)
from legacy devices to the new C++ style. Also renamed VIDEO_SCREEN to
simply SCREEN. The various global functions that were previously used to
access information or modify the state of these devices are now replaced
by methods on the device classes. Specifically:
video_screen_configure() == screen->configure()
video_screen_set_visarea() == screen->set_visible_area()
video_screen_update_partial() == screen->update_partial()
video_screen_update_now() == screen->update_now()
video_screen_get_vpos() == screen->vpos()
video_screen_get_hpos() == screen->hpos()
video_screen_get_vblank() == screen->vblank()
video_screen_get_hblank() == screen->hblank()
video_screen_get_width() == screen->width()
video_screen_get_height() == screen->height()
video_screen_get_visible_area() == screen->visible_area()
video_screen_get_time_until_pos() == screen->time_until_pos()
video_screen_get_time_until_vblank_start() ==
screen->time_until_vblank_start()
video_screen_get_time_until_vblank_end() ==
screen->time_until_vblank_end()
video_screen_get_time_until_update() == screen->time_until_update()
video_screen_get_scan_period() == screen->scan_period()
video_screen_get_frame_period() == screen->frame_period()
video_screen_get_frame_number() == screen->frame_number()
timer_device_adjust_oneshot() == timer->adjust()
timer_device_adjust_periodic() == timer->adjust()
timer_device_reset() == timer->reset()
timer_device_enable() == timer->enable()
timer_device_enabled() == timer->enabled()
timer_device_get_param() == timer->param()
timer_device_set_param() == timer->set_param()
timer_device_get_ptr() == timer->get_ptr()
timer_device_set_ptr() == timer->set_ptr()
timer_device_timeelapsed() == timer->time_elapsed()
timer_device_timeleft() == timer->time_left()
timer_device_starttime() == timer->start_time()
timer_device_firetime() == timer->fire_time()
Updated all drivers that use the above functions to fetch the specific
device type (timer_device or screen_device) and call the appropriate
method. [Aaron Giles]
Changed machine->primary_screen and the 'screen' parameter to VIDEO_UPDATE
to specifically pass in a screen_device object. [Aaron Giles]
Defined a new custom interface for the Z80 daisy chain. This interface
behaves like the standard interfaces, and can be added to any device that
implements the Z80 daisy chain behavior. Converted all existing Z80 daisy
chain devices to new-style devices that inherit this interface.
[Aaron Giles]
Changed the way CPU state tables are built up. Previously, these were data
structures defined by a CPU core which described all the registers and how
to output them. This functionality is now part of the state interface and
is implemented via the device_state_entry class. Updated all CPU cores
which were using the old data structure to use the new form. The syntax is
currently awkward, but will be cleaner for CPUs that are native new
devices. [Aaron Giles]
Converted the okim6295 and eeprom devices to the new model. These were
necessary because they both require multiple interfaces to operate and it
didn't make sense to create legacy device templates for these single cases.
(okim6295 needs the sound interface and the memory interface, while eeprom
requires both the nvram and memory interfaces). [Aaron Giles]
Changed parameters in a few callback functions from pointers to references
in situations where they are guaranteed to never be NULL. [Aaron Giles]
Removed MDRV_CPU_FLAGS() which was only used for disabling a CPU. Changed
it to MDRV_DEVICE_DISABLE() instead. Updated drivers. [Aaron Giles]
Reorganized the token parsing for machine configurations. The core parsing
code knows how to create/replace/remove devices, but all device token
parsing is now handled in the device_config class, which in turn will make
use of any interface classes or device-specific token handling for custom
token processing. [Aaron Giles]
Moved many validity checks out of validity.c and into the device interface
classes. For example, address space validation is now part of the memory
interface class. [Aaron Giles]
Consolidated address space parameters (bus width, endianness, etc.) into
a single address_space_config class. Updated all code that queried for
address space parameters to use the new mechanism. [Aaron Giles]

constructor and a static allocation function.
Changed MDRV_DRIVER_DATA to reference driver_data::alloc
instead of just providing a size. This function is called
to allocate the driver data. This allows objects to be
embedded in the state data and be properly initialized.
Ideally, new driver_data constructors should perform
initialization actions in the constructor, but for now
most just use auto_alloc_clear() to blast everything to
zero.
Moved driver data allocation after device list construction
so that devices can be found when the driver data is
constructed.

is now separate from runtime device state. I have larger plans
for devices, so there is some temporary scaffolding to hold
everything together, but this first step does separate things
out.
There is a new class 'running_device' which represents the
state of a live device. A list of these running_devices sits
in machine->devicelist and is created when a running_machine
is instantiated.
To access the configuration state, use device->baseconfig()
which returns a reference to the configuration.
The list of running_devices in machine->devicelist has a 1:1
correspondance with the list of device configurations in
machine->config->devicelist, and most navigation options work
equally on either (scanning by class, type, etc.)
For the most part, drivers will now deal with running_device
objects instead of const device_config objects. In fact, in
order to do this patch, I did the following global search &
replace:
const device_config -> running_device
device->static_config -> device->baseconfig().static_config
device->inline_config -> device->baseconfig().inline_config
and then fixed up the compiler errors that fell out.
Some specifics:
Removed device_get_info_* functions and replaced them with
methods called get_config_*.
Added methods for get_runtime_* to access runtime state from
the running_device.
DEVICE_GET_INFO callbacks are only passed a device_config *.
This means they have no access to the token or runtime state
at all. For most cases this is fine.
Added new DEVICE_GET_RUNTIME_INFO callback that is passed
the running_device for accessing data that is live at runtime.
In the future this will go away to make room for a cleaner
mechanism.
Cleaned up the handoff of memory regions from the memory
subsystem to the devices.

- Created new central header "emu.h"; this should be included
by pretty much any driver or device as the first include. This
file in turn includes pretty much everything a driver or device
will need, minus any other devices it references. Note that
emu.h should *never* be included by another header file.
- Updated all files in the core (src/emu) to use emu.h.
- Removed a ton of redundant and poorly-tracked header includes
from within other header files.
- Temporarily changed driver.h to map to emu.h until we update
files outside of the core.
Added class wrapper around tagmap so it can be directly included
and accessed within objects that need it. Updated all users to
embed tagmap objects and changed them to call through the class.
Added nicer functions for finding devices, ports, and regions in
a machine:
machine->device("tag") -- return the named device, or NULL
machine->port("tag") -- return the named port, or NULL
machine->region("tag"[, &length[, &flags]]) -- return the
named region and optionally its length and flags
Made the device tag an astring. This required touching a lot of
code that printed the device to explicitly fetch the C-string
from it. (Thank you gcc for flagging that issue!)

osd_free(). They take the same parameters as malloc() and free().
Renamed mamecore.h -> emucore.h.
New C++-aware memory manager, implemented in emualloc.*. This is a
simple manager that allows you to add any type of object to a
resource pool. Most commonly, allocated objects are added, and so
a set of allocation macros is provided to allow you to manage
objects in a particular pool:
pool_alloc(p, t) = allocate object of type 't' and add to pool 'p'
pool_alloc_clear(p, t) = same as above, but clear the memory first
pool_alloc_array(p, t, c) = allocate an array of 'c' objects of type
't' and add to pool 'p'
pool_alloc_array_clear(p, t, c) = same, but with clearing
pool_free(p, v) = free object 'v' and remove it from the pool
Note that pool_alloc[_clear] is roughly equivalent to "new t" and
pool_alloc_array[_clear] is roughly equivalent to "new t[c]". Also
note that pool_free works for single objects and arrays.
There is a single global_resource_pool defined which should be used
for any global allocations. It has equivalent macros to the pool_*
macros above that automatically target the global pool.
In addition, the memory module defines global new/delete overrides
that access file and line number parameters so that allocations can
be tracked. Currently this tracking is only done if MAME_DEBUG is
enabled. In debug builds, any unfreed memory will be printed at
the end of the session.
emualloc.h also has #defines to disable malloc/free/realloc/calloc.
Since emualloc.h is included by emucore.h, this means pretty much
all code within the emulator is forced to use the new allocators.
Although straight new/delete do work, their use is discouraged, as
any allocations made with them will not be tracked.
Changed the familar auto_alloc_* macros to map to the resource pool
model described above. The running_machine is now a class and contains
a resource pool which is automatically destructed upon deletion. If
you are a driver writer, all your allocations should be done with
auto_alloc_*.
Changed all drivers and files in the core using malloc/realloc or the
old alloc_*_or_die macros to use (preferably) the auto_alloc_* macros
instead, or the global_alloc_* macros if necessary.
Added simple C++ wrappers for astring and bitmap_t, as these need
proper constructors/destructors to be used for auto_alloc_astring and
auto_alloc_bitmap.
Removed references to the winalloc prefix file. Most of its
functionality has moved into the core, save for the guard page
allocations, which are now implemented in osd_alloc and osd_free.

Updated device and input port lists to use the tagmap for
tag searches. Also removed the whole "quark" thing from the
validity checker in favor of using the tagmaps.

future lookup optimizations.
By and large, the only things that used 2-character tags were bulk-
converted sound chips which were generally mapped to "ym" or "ay"
(and a few others). These were changed to "ymsnd" and "aysnd",
mimicking the way CPUs were changed from "main" to "maincpu" a while
back.

MDRV macros in the device for specifying address maps. Changed
the memory system to fetch the maps from the new location.
This is just a small step toward the end goal of getting address
maps into arbitrary devices.

assumption that all device tags are unique. Specifically, the
following no longer need to provide a device type:
AM_DEVREAD/WRITE
DEVCB_DEVICE_HANDLER
devtag_get_device
devtag_reset
device_list_find_by_tag
as well as several device interfaces that referenced other devices.
Also fixed assertion due to overflow in the recent sound fix.

This was primarily added to allow for sound routes to be supported in a way that
is compatible with the current driver structure. A device can now define a
DEVICE_CUSTOM_CONFIG callback which is called whenever one of the
MCONFIG_TOKEN_DEVICE_CONFIG_CUSTOM_* tokens is encountered. A special token
MCONFIG_TOKEN_DEVICE_CONFIG_CUSTOM_FREE is defined to clean up memory allocated
and/or reset the custom configuration, and is called when the device is torn down
to allow for memory cleanup.
Reimplemented the sound routing using this new mechanism.

Please note: regression testing is in progress, but the first round
of glaring regressions have already been taken care of. That said,
there is likely to be a host of regressions as a result of this
change.
Also note: There are still a few rough edges in the interfaces. I
will try to clean them up systematically once the basic system is
working.
All sound chips are now proper devices.
Merged the sound chip interface into the device interface,
removing any differences (such as the whole ALIASing concept).
Modified every sound chip in the following ways:
* updated to match the device interface
* reduced read/write handlers down to the minimal number
* added the use of get_safe_token() for ensuring correctness
* other minor cleanup
Removed the custom sound device. The additional work to just make
custom sound cases into full devices is minimal, so I just converted
them all over to be actual devices.
Vastly simplified the sound interfaces, removing the ghastly
sndti_* business and moving everyone over to using tags for
sound identity. sndintrf, like cpuintrf, is now just a header
file with no implementation.
Modified each and every driver that references a sound chip:
* all memory maps explicitly reference the targeted device via
AM_DEVREAD/AM_DEVWRITE/AM_DEVREADWRITE
* 16-bit and 32-bit accesses to 8-bit chips no longer use
trampoline functions but instead use the 8-bit AM_DEVREAD/WRITE
macros
* all references to sound chips are now done via tags
* note that these changes are brute force, not optimal; in many
cases drivers should grab pointers to devices in MACHINE_START
and stash them away

Subject: [patch] Make SOUND_xxx pointers to SND_GET_INFO functions
Hi mamedev,
This patch probably should wait till after 0.129 goes out, but may be
of interest regardless. It makes the treatment of SOUND_xxx the same
as that of CPU_xxx. That is, they are function pointers to the
SND_GET_INFO routine for the sound.
The first patch just adds some missing include files and modifies a
few cases where a sound_type was used as an integer. This could go in
now. The second patch then adds the needed #defines to all the sound
headers (it assumes the previous patch I sent to add the SND_GET_INFO
declarations was applied), and modifies the sound code accordingly. It
also moves the sound clock to the device object. Note that the dummy
sound core is removed entirely. I cheated a bit and made VERIFY_SNDTI
also declare and fill in the sndnum, making this an INLINE function
would probably be more appropriate, but all of this code's days are
numbered.
There may be some performance loss in drivers that expect sndti_xxx
routines to be fast, since sound_matrix has been removed. The
performance however should be similar to looking up items in a
devicelist, so those drivers will have to adjust eventually.

quantum in terms of "frames" (a dubious concept now with multiple
screens and changing refresh rates). Replaced it with a new
MDRV_QUANTUM_TIME(x) which specifies the minimum scheduling quantum
as a time value. Time can be specified as HZ(x), NSEC(x), USEC(x),
etc. Updated all drivers to use this, assuming 60 was the frame
rate (this is not perfect but should work for almost all cases).
Changed MDRV_WATCHDOG_INIT_TIME(x) to automatically prepend
UINT64_ATTOTIME_IN_ to the parameter, ensuring there is no
improper use of this macro and bringing it in line with the
MDRV_QUANTUM_TIME() macro. Updated all callers.
Added new MDRV_QUANTUM_PERFECT_CPU(x) to specify that the minimum
quantum should be enough to ensure that the specified CPU tag
only ever executes a single instruction at a time. This can be
used to explicitly require "perfect" synchronization for drivers
that have multiple CPUs with shared memory. Turned this on for
the arknoid2 driver for now as a test (the interleave on that
driver was already very close to perfect anyway).

specified when the device is added, and the clock is available in
the device_config directly via device->clock. Updated all devices
that have a clock to specify it when adding the device, rather than
as part of their configuration. As part of this work, also created
device-specific _ADD and _REMOVE macros to simplify configuration.
Dfined a generic device execute function callback, though it
is not used yet. The long term plan is that any device with an
execute callback will be scheduled along with the CPUs. Now that
CPUs are devices, their scheduling will be moved over to this
logic eventually.
Changed various NVRAM devices to fetch their default memory region
from the device->region rather than specifying it in the
configuration.
Moved a number of CPUINFO_PTR_* constants to CPUINFO_FCT_*.
Fixed several drivers that manually created their own gfx_elements
to fill in the machine object, so they no longer crash.
Fixed incorrect CPU display on info screen (recently broken).
Moved device startup to *before* the DRIVER_INIT is called. This
is to allow the DRIVER_INIT to configure devices that have been
properly allocated. So far I don't see any negative effects, but
be on the lookout if something weird shows up.
Rewrote the device iteration logic to make use of the typenext
field and the newly-introduced classnext field for iterating more
efficiently through devices of a given type or class.
Fixed behavior of MDRV_CPU_REPLACE so it does not delete and then
re-add a CPU (causing the order to change).

machine configuration just as any other device, and the
standard CPU configuration is performed via the inline
configuration macros.
Change cpu_type from an enumeration into a pointer to the
CPU's get_info function, very similar to device behavior.
For now all CPUs are declared in cpuintrf.h, but
eventually they should be declared in the CPU's header
file, and the driver should #include that header.
Added function cpu_get_type() to return the CPU type.
Changed several cpu_* functions into macros that call
through to the equivalent device_* function.
The device system now maintains a parallel list of devices
based on type, for faster iteration through all devices
of a given type.
Cleaned up code that looped over CPUs via the machine->cpu
array to now loop using the type-based device list.
Removed start/stop/reset/nvram functions from the
device_config in favor of grabbing them as needed.
Cleaned up the generic interrupt_enable code to work with
CPU devices instead of numbers.
Mapped the devtag_* functions to device_* functions via
macros instead of parallel implementations.

related APIs now take a device pointer instead of an index.
All functions that take a CPU device are prefixed with cpu_*
All functions that are globally related to cpu execution
are prefixed with cpuexec_*. Below is a list of some of the
mappings:
cpu_boost_interleave -> cpuexec_boost_interleave
cpunum_suspend -> cpu_suspend
cpunum_resume -> cpu_resume
cpunum_is_suspended -> cpu_is_suspended
cpunum_get_clock -> cpu_get_clock
cpunum_set_clock -> cpu_set_clock
cpunum_get_clockscale -> cpu_get_clockscale
cpunum_set_clockscale -> cpu_set_clockscale
cpunum_get_localtime -> cpu_get_local_time
cpunum_gettotalcycles -> cpu_get_total_cycles
activecpu_eat_cycles -> cpu_eat_cycles
activecpu_adjust_icount -> cpu_adjust_icount
cpu_trigger -> cpuexec_trigger
cpu_triggertime -> cpuexec_triggertime
cpunum_set_input_line -> cpu_set_input_line
cpunum_set_irq_callback -> cpu_set_irq_callback
In addition, a number of functions retain the same name but
now require a specific CPU parameter to be passed in:
cpu_yield
cpu_spin
cpu_spinuntil_time
cpu_spinuntil_int
cpu_spinuntil_trigger
cpu_triggerint
Merged cpuint.c into cpuexec.c. One side-effect of this
change is that driver reset callbacks are called AFTER the
CPUs and devices are reset. This means that if you make
changes to the CPU state and expect the reset vectors to
recognize the changes in your reset routine, you will need
to manually reset the CPU after making the change (since it
has already been reset).
Added a number of inline helper functions to cpuintrf.h for
managing addresses
Removed cpu_gettotalcpu(). This information is rarely needed
outside of the core and can be obtained by looking at the
machine->cpu[] array.
Changed CPU interrupt acknowledge callbacks to pass a CPU
device instead of machine/cpunum pair.
Changed VBLANK and periodic timer callbacks to pass a CPU
device instead of machine/cpunum pair.
Renamed all information getters from cpu_* to cpu_get_* and
from cputype_* to cputype_get_*.

* added a set of cpu_* calls which accept a CPU device object;
these are now the preferred means of manipulating a CPU
* removed the cpunum_* calls; added an array of cpu[] to the
running_machine object; converted all existing cpunum_* calls
to cpu_* calls, pulling the CPU device object from the new
array in the running_machine
* removed the activecpu_* calls; added an activecpu member to
the running_machine object; converted all existing activecpu_*
calls to cpu_* calls, pulling the active CPU device object
from the running_machine
* changed cpuintrf_push_context() to cpu_push_context(), taking
a CPU object pointer; changed cpuintrf_pop_context() to
cpu_pop_context(); eventually these will go away
* many other similar changes moving toward a model where all CPU
references are done by the CPU object and not by index

Subject: [patch] Add ADDRESS_MAP_NAME macro
Hi mamedev,
In theory, MAME's interface macros should completely hide the naming
conventions from the drivers and sound/cpu cores. So as an
experiment, I renamed all the core apis and looked to see what broke.
The most common api coupling was with address maps in the CPU cores,
which this patch addresses by introducing a new macro,
ADDRESS_MAP_NAME (mimicing what is done in devintrf.h). There were a
handful of related problems in some drivers which this patch also
fixes. Some remaining issues I left alone (laserdisk apis reference
rom, video_update, machine_config, ksys573 use of nvram_handler,
megadriv use of ipt), in principle all the apis need _NAME variants to
encode the conventions.
