This was the result of a typo accidentally introduced in
e51d715700. This restores the previous
correct behavior.
The behavior with the reference was incorrect and would cause some games
to fail to boot.
Conceptually, it doesn't make sense for a thread to be able to persist
the lifetime of a scheduler. A scheduler should be taking care of the
threads; the threads should not be taking care of the scheduler.
If the threads outlive the scheduler (or we simply don't actually
terminate/shutdown the threads), then it should be considered a bug
that we need to fix.
Attributing this to balika011, as they opened #1317 to attempt to fix
this in a similar way, but my refactoring of the kernel code caused
quite a few conflicts.
operator+ for std::string creates an entirely new string, which is kind
of unnecessary here if we just want to append a null terminator to the
existing one.
Reduces the total amount of potential allocations that need to be done
in the logging path.
Specifically bugs/crashes that arise when putting them in positions that are legal but not typical, such as midline, between patch data, or between patch records.
Placing the array wholesale into the header places a copy of the whole
array into every translation unit that uses the data, which is wasteful.
Particularly given that this array is referenced from three different
translation units.
This also changes the array to contain pairs of const char*, rather than
QString instances. This way, the string data is able to be fixed into
the read-only segment of the program, as well as eliminate static
constructors/heap allocation immediately on program start.
Many of the member variables of the thread class aren't even used
outside of the class itself, so there's no need to make those variables
public. This change follows in the steps of the previous changes that
made other kernel types' members private.
The main motivation behind this is that the Thread class will likely
change in the future as emulation becomes more accurate, and letting
random bits of the emulator access data members of the Thread class
directly makes it a pain to shuffle around and/or modify internals.
Having all data members public like this also makes it difficult to
reason about certain bits of behavior without first verifying what parts
of the core actually use them.
Everything being public also generally follows the tendency for changes
to be introduced in completely different translation units that would
otherwise be better introduced as an addition to the Thread class'
public interface.
GetName() returns a std::string by value, not by reference, so after the
std::string_view is constructed, it's not well defined to actually
execute any member functions of std::string_view that attempt to access
the data, as the std::string has already been destroyed. Instead, we can
just use a std::string and erase the last four characters.
When searching for a file extension, it's generally preferable to begin
the search at the end of the string rather than the beginning, as the
whole string isn't going to be walked just to check for something at the
end of it.
